"We all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image, from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord" (2 Cor. 3:18).

This is a lesson in spiritual photography, for in taking a photograph, we must have four necessary helps: first, an image; second, a camera; third, a sensitive plate; and fourth, light. When these four are combined in proper relation, we get the photographic representation. And in this one verse are suggested the four requisites for spiritual photography: the image—the glory of the Lord; the camera—the Holy Scripture; the sensitive plate—the human spirit; and the light—the Holy Ghost. To sit down as it were before that Image and meditate upon the beauty and the glory of Christ, to present ourselves a sensitive plate to the impression, and all in the transforming power of the light of the Spirit—this is to be changed into the same image, from one degree of glory to another, even as by the Lord, the Spirit.
