He was rediscovered and rescued from the superstitious misconceptions regarding him, in which he was thought of as a superman of extraordinary powers which were, and ever would be, beyond the rank and file of the race. This brought about the renaissance of Christianity and it is studied now, not as something supernatural to which all men must give superstitious credence, but as a revelation of spiritual law which all men may comprehend and apply. Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free, is the fiat of Christianity. This is the positive assertion of one who has perceived the principle of life and demonstrated its exactness. Booker T. Washington has told us, Freedom is not a bequest, it is a conquest.
Freedom is both a bequest and a conquest.
Christianity establishes the fact that everything that is exists in principle in completeness. The eternal quest of man is for principles, for when he masters the principle of anything he possesses the thing itself. Freedom is a bequest then in that these life principles exist for man s benefit. The conquest of these principles through our comprehension of them is the promised freedom of Christianity. The disclosure of the spiritual world revealed by Christianity brings the end of our quest.
