But I cannot tell you the meaning of that wonderful name. Nor yet the wondrous charm of Him who, for our sakes, embodies it. You may put together all these illustrations in the attempt to get a real, close-up, idea of what Jesus meant in that love-gift of His to you. And then you will not know. There is really only one way to gain that knowledge. It is this: take the step which belongs to _your_ side of the transaction between you and the Master. Surrender yourself to Him to be changed and cleansed and used as He may choose. Then _He_ will begin at once working out the side that belongs to Him. _You shall be filled with His presence._ Then you will _begin_ to know. Then you can sing-- "I have a wonderful guest, Who speeds my feet, who moves my hands, Who strengthens, comforts, guides, commands, Whose presence gives me rest. "He dwells within my soul, He swept away the filth and gloom; He garnished fair the empty room, And now pervades the whole." And you shall go on knowing more and better until the day dawn and the shadows flee away.

In mechanics power depends on good connections. A visit to any great machine shop makes that clear. There must be good connections in two directions--inward toward the source of power, and outward for use. The same law holds true in spiritual power as in mechanical. There must be good connections.
