We cannot know it as it is but only can know that the creative God could not have been there if IT had not been there first. We cannot give it any name for no picture, no concept, no thinkable nature is within our apprehension concerning IT. At the enunciation of its mere possibility we are hushed into silence, struck dumb. Let us retreat, then, into territory where a contact is possible, where GOD and MAN may meet.
