In the opening chapter of Genesis it is written that God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him, male and female created He them. What is this but a virtual recognition of the feminine principle as well as the masculine principle of Deity? If men and women are the children of God, sons and daughters of heavenly parents, fashioned in their image, endowed with their attributes, and destined to become like them in perfection, why should it startle the world to be told that there is a Mother as well as a Father in heaven? Earthly parents expect their children to grow and become like them. Why should not the children of God attain to the likeness of their heavenly parentage? It is reasonable, philosophical, and like all truth, invulnerable.
