Those who are wise will surely cherish the memory of it, will ever find a benison in recalling it, and go softly all their days because they once knew such a blessed experience. There are other stories [besides jacob's awareness of "presence" at Bethel] in the Old Testament of men becoming livingly aware of "presence," outstanding amongst them being the vision of Isaiah in the Temple the record of his lifelong call to the prophetic office. That call came to him in the context of worship-worship touched by the imaginative insight of a sensitive spirit facing the highest issues and responsive to their ultimate claim. The rich and majestic imagery with which the prophet surrounds the story gives us a clue to the signifi cance he attached to an ordination that depended upon no priestly authority but upon an encounter with the Divine Presence. This ordination brought to the prophet the credentials which could never be gainsaid and gave him courage to meet all the scorn and abuse which later showered on him.-EDGAR G.
