That One is a Personality; but of such enormous personality that He is three Persons, and yet one God. There are those who stagger at this. I confess I cannot understand their mental condition. I am a poor little limited, finite existence; as far as anything I can see in this world, scarce a square inch in size or meaning. My poor little time is a few years between the eternal past and the eternal future; and a large number of those years are spent in unconsciousness, infancy, and childhood. A good share of the hours that are mine, when I really am conscious, are spent in unconsciousness. The night comes--an apparently arbitrary arrangement--and I am practically non-existent during many hours of the short period when I have some force of body and of mind.

A few years between, of light and dark, of consciousness and unconsciousness, of doing and being tired of doing, the whirling spokes of light and dark spinning me on and away. There are a few things I can do, millions of things I cannot do. Some few things I know or think I know; and if I am a writing or speaking man I try to write them or speak them, and succeed in some small measure. All the books ever written, all the speeches ever spoken, cannot contain the things I do not know; the things Plato and "broad-browed Verulam" did not know, much less the Parliament of Great Britain or the Congress of the United States!
