"Troubles, old man," said Aladdin, for so he was in the habit of addressing himself at moments of self-communication, "this is going to be the slowest kind of a trip, but we're going to enjoy every minute of it, because it's taking us to the place where we would be-God bless her!" Aladdin took a cigar from his breast pocket. "Troubles," said he, "may I offer you a smoke? What?
Guided, then, by the physical peculiarity of situation which I have referred to, and by the constant meaning of Scriptural symbolism, I think we must conclude that this river, 'the streams whereof make glad the city of God, is God Himself in the outflow and self-communication of His own grace to the soul. The stream is the fountain in flow.
'Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights. So the life is blessed that talks with God; that has fixed its desires on Him as its Supreme Good; that is irradiated by His light, glorified by the reflection of His brightness, and ministered to with all necessary appliances by His loving self-communication.
God gives Himself to us, as we know, most chiefly in that unspeakable gift of His Son, and we possess Him by virtue of His self-communication which depends upon His love. And then we possess Him, and He possesses us, not less by the answering surrender of ourselves, which is the expression of our love.

Darkness is the type of ignorance, of sorrow, of sin. But, whilst the symbol is thus rich in manifold revelations, probably purity and self-communication are the predominating ideas here. John has been honoured to give the world the three great revelations that God is spirit, is light, is love.
She is not a person, but she is a personification of an aspect of the divine nature, and seeing that she is held forth as willing to bestow herself on men, that queenly figure shadows the great truth of God's self-communication as being the end and climax of all His revelation.

Here Love is raised up into an image of the Godhead Love as a self-communication and as an essential elevation of the nature, and as an expression of inmost fellowship. "There originates a mutual intercourse of the soul and God as between an I and a Thou."
Indeed, I reflected, there could not be many such as myself of that I felt sure, and the conviction produced in me the kind of complacency which craves for self-communication to another. I had a great desire to unbosom myself to some one, and as there was no one else to speak to, I addressed myself to the cabman. "Was I very long gone?" I asked him. "No, not very long," he replied.
Mr Wilder, your departure from that vessel has been recent?" "As my arrival in this." The Rover continued silent for several minutes communing with his own thoughts. His companion made no offer to disturb his meditations; though the furtive glances, he often cast in the direction of the other's musing eye, betrayed some little anxiety to learn the result of his self-communication.
