But it seems as if that could not be. Some strange necessity seems to decree that "flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God"; but still let us remember that it is God and not heaven; it is the spirit made like and laid close to His Spirit, and not the delight of the jasper walls and golden gates, for which the soul longs and prepares.
