Life is a failure, man is a failure unless
he becomes acquainted with,and his
life is lived thru the Nazarine.
So exhaustless are the resources
of the Thousand Sided Christ that
Isaiah lost in the splendors of the
approachi g tho unseen Son of God
in exhultation criel, ‘‘Thou shalt
call his name wonderful.”
Even as a babe in his mother’s arms
this was so emphatically true that
Simeon of old looking into the face of
the Manger Child, cried out, ‘‘Lord,
now lettest thou thy servent depart
in peace according lo thy word. For
mine eyes have seen thy salvation. ’ ’
Years later a sick, discouraged and
weary one, as a last resort,made her
way thru the multitude saying,“If I
may but touch his garment I shall be
whole ’ ’. She touched, j vst touched the
HEM of his garment and a new life
began in body and soul. By some
one ’twassaid that Socrates died lii.e
a hero but Christ died like a God.
So much was it the dying of the
divine that a smitten conscience cried
out ‘ ‘ Sruly this is the Son of God. ’ ’
Thus from Bethlehem’s manger to
Calvary’s Brow a life was lived so
surpasing wonderful that it admits of
no comparison; There is no parallel.
It is said that at the World’s Par
liament of Religion that the lives and
motives of Buddah, confucious, Ma
ho net and Zoroaster we c discussed
proand coabut not one word was lifted
against the life and te idlings of the
Million Sided Christ who came with
one mission and that was to m :ke it
possible for you and me to become
the Sous of God. He came vested
with all power and yet for himself
used none; Kingdoms and crow, s
were offered him. nc spumed them
all. He was more than the King of
the Jews. He was a King of a Jcw
A master of Self.
He came facing the Letrayel tl e
trial tire mocking and the cross upon
which he died i:i the eyes of the wrol 1
as a criminal among transgressors,a:i
impositor of impositors and a failure
of failures with only a handful of
trembling follows about Him.
Thus he died and the world said—
Failure. But that death was the burst
i g blossom the fruit of which makes
it possible for you and me to stand on
the brink of the grave and trium
phantly face the blackest work of
Satan. For since that hour Christ
has lived-Lived in the hearts of the! c
lievers, and to day is marching at the
head of Christendom in the greatness
of nis might, around whom millio: s
have teen flocki g si ice that hour.
In sixty minutes you can re id all the
printed sayings of Him who was pre
dicte 1 by the prophets, revealed in
the Gospels and interpreted by the
Epistles —Page 4.
