—Proverbs 23:5

Father, I desire that they also, whom thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am, in order that they may behold My glory, . . .
—John 17:36

Instead of our doing something to the subject matter, the subject matter should do something to us.
—Dr. Mark Fakkema

Why is it so important for the Christian to behold the glory of God reflected in mathematics or anywhere else? Simply because beholding the glory of God is the prime directive for spiritual growth. One may as well ask why eating and breathing are important to life.

What is meant by “spiritual growth?” How is it measured? Toward what, or in what, are Christians to grow? These questions are answered ultimately in Romans 8:29; the destiny of the Christian is to become conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. Since those events God predestines occur with probability one, Christians know that “ [they] [they]”1 King David said, “I will behold Thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied, when I

Both because the discussion is interesting in itself, and because we are discussing the case of Dr. Clark in our paper, our readers may be interested in the following report, which we reprint from “The Presbyterian Guardian” of April 10, 1945:

The Presbytery of Philadelphia of The Orthodox Presbyterian Church held its regular spring meeting on March 19th in Mediator Church, Philadelphia. The principal item of business was the consideration of the proposed answer to the complaint against the actions of the presbytery relative to the licensure and ordination of the Rev. Gordon H.
