Losing Consciousness of God
Poem★★★★The late Rev. F.S. Miller, missionary in Korea, illus- trating how a man may lose his consciousness of God, tells of an old native man and his son who were on a train going to Seoul. When they looked for their railway ticket it could not be found. The conductor said he would come through again and for them to keep up their search. They hunted through their clothing and baggage and scolded each other. Finally, the son opened up his under- clothing and there in a secret pocket, wrapped up in paper, he found the ticket, all safe and sound. ‘““When you feel you have lost God, do not search the heavens above or the earth beneath, just look in your heart,” said
— Miller
The point
A story of a son finding a lost train ticket in his father's hidden pocket illustrates that when we think we've lost God, we need only look in our own hearts.
