"Who, out of utter nothingness", p. 64[edit]
"No. 8 The statement in the "Gleanings", p. 64-65, "who out of utter nothingsness..." etc., should be taken in a symbolic and not literal sense. It is only to demonstrate the power and greatness of God."

p. 66[edit]
"There is no contradiction between Gleanings p. 66 and p. 262. In one place He says the mirror will never be free from dross, in the other place He says it will be "so cleared as to be able" etc. It is a relative thing; perfection will never be reached, but great and ever greater, progress can be made."
