A fs~ centuries ago he came out through
humble surroundings, and with a gait and
manner and behavior different from any
rhing the world had seen. Among ali CLASSES
of people hs was perfect model. Among
fishermen hs showed how fishermen should
act Among taxgatherers be showed how
Iaxgatherers should act Among LAWYERS
he showed how lawyers should act Among
farmers he showed how farmers should act.
Among rulers ~ showed how rulers should
act Critics tried 20 1nd IN MS conversation

they knew how long 10 stayed, and when he
came Out, and whesner he had wine for din
ner S-ander twisted her WHIPS and wagged
Afr poisoned tongue and set her traps, bat
could not catch him. Little children rushed
out 70 get from him Ass, and old men tot
tered out 70 the street corner 10 see him pass.
Do you want an illustration Of devotion, be-
hold him whole nights IN prayer Do you
want an example OF suffering, see his path
across Palestine tracked with blood. Do YOU
want an example OF patience, see him abused
and never giving one sharp retort Do you
want an example of industry, see him without
one idle moment. Do you want a specimen of
sacrifice, look at his life of self denial,
his death Of ignominy, his sepulcher Of hu-
initiation. Oh, what an example His feet
wounded, yet he submitted 10 the journey.
His back lacerated, and yet he carried the
cross. Struck, he never struck back again.
Condemned, ne rose higher than his calum-
niatOrs, and with wounds in MS hands, and
wounds in his feet, and wounds ON his brow,
and wounds in his side, ne CALCULATED:
Father, forgive them, they know not what
they do" An, my brethren, that is the pole
by which TO set your compass, that Is tho
headland by which to steer, that is the light
by which 70 kindls your lamps, that is the
example that we ought all 70 follow. How
1t would smooth out the roughness ia our dis
position, and the wcrld would be impressed
by the Transformation and would say: y
know what is the matter with that man, he
hss been with Jesus and mas learned Of him.
IN Persia, and the snow and ice were 50 great
that the army halted and said: I've can't
march any further Then Alexander dis
mounted from his horse, took pickax, went
ahead Of his army and struck into the ice and
snow. The soldiers said. II he can do that,
We can do it, ," and they took their picks and
soon the way was cleared and the army
marched on. SO our Lord dismounted from
his glory, and through all icy Obstacles bewB
a path for himself and q path for Us, saying:
"Follow me. do not ask YOU 70 so through
any suffering or fght any battles where do
not lead the wayi Follow mel"
CHRIST THE sYNPATHHER
Again I remark that we are 10 look TO
Christ as a sympathizer Is there anybody in

can live without sympathy. There are
those. however, who have gone through very
rough paths in lie who had no divine arm to
lean or. How they got Gl0ns do not exactly
know. Their fortunes took wings in some un-
fortunate investment anG dew away The

years in getting with hard work. How did
