________________ THE ATTRIBUTES OF DIVINITY 103 and offerings, and drink offerings, who then is without need, and who is holy, and pure and perfect? If He is pleased with candles and candle-sticks, who then placed the luminaries in heaven? If He dwells in shadow, and darkness and storm, and smoke, who is the light that lightens the universe? If He comes with trumpets, and shoutings, and darts, and arrows, who is the looked-for tranquillity of all? If He loves war, who then wishes peace? If He makes evil things, who makes good things?"-Ibid. p. 53. "If therefore the human mind, not only by reason, but even by a sort of natural instinct, rightly holds this opinion, that that is called God to which nothing can be compared or equalled, but which exceeds all and excels all; how can it be supposed that that name which is believed to be above all, is rightly given to those whom you think to be employed for the service and comfort of human life? "(Recognitions of Clement) A.N.C.L. vol. iii. p. 316.
