That a Deity localised in a far-away heaven, seated on a celestial throne and surrounded by an angelic court, should be a person, like any other sovereign, presented no problem to the understanding; but if God was not merely transcendent but also immanent not merely somewhere but in some indefinable manner everywhere then to predicate personality of such a One seemed a very paradox.

"Ah, my dear," she replied, "if you did but know the angelic soul of that dear child, you would understand me.
