sixty-second verse, and he read:

"What and if ye see the Son of man ascend up to where He was before."

She turned to another. It was the twenty-eighth verse of chapter
sixteen:

"I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again,
I leave the world and go to the Father."

Still she made him read one more, the fifth verse of the seventeenth
chapter:

"And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the
glory which I had with thee before the world was."

"Now, vat does it all mean, Mr. Ames?"

"I see your point, Miss Dahl. Christ certainly existed as an intelligent
being before He came to this earth--yes, even before the world was."

"Certainly; our Savior vas himself as ve. He vas born, He had a body as
ve, and He also had a spirit. God is de Fader of His spirit and it
existed long ago, as you said. Christ is our Elder Broder. Ve are of de
same family. If He existed before de vorld, why not ve? Dat's right,
isn't it?"

"But couldn't Christ have been the only one who had a pre-existence? I
believe something is said in your book about the Savior being the only
begotten of the Father."
