The Perfect Measure

EVERY kind of plant and animal has its own limits of growth. Its size is a help in judging of an unfamiliar species. The botanist will tell us to what height a given herb or tree will reach; the zoologist can tell us the measure of an animal. Variations there may be, but within comparatively narrow bounds. The limits of man's bodily stature are fixed quite definitely. The limits of the attainments of the minds of mortals are recognized. The great dignity, the unique blessing of mankind, is the standard set for the true growth of all alike, because it alone is unlimited—“the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ.”—Christian Endeavor World.
