Sympathy and Knowledge

By S. S. Times

SYMPATHY is both the forerunner and the follower of knowledge, in the study of any character which is worth being acquainted with. Unless we are in sympathy with such a character, we can never understand it; and only as we understand it can we have fullness of sympathy with it. This is true in the sphere of human friendship; it is true, also, in the highest sphere of spiritual affinity and attainment. Only he who loves God can know anything of God; and the more one knows of God, the more he will love God.—S. S. Times.
