his intimate friends, was more lonely

human form, yet it is illustrated in
things that become great by spiritual
importance. The pen that signsd the
the emancipation proclamation was like
any other pen, yet historic because OF
the great moral act done by il. So is
our humanity gloriied by the spiritual
indwelling OF God. Yet as q human
being Christ needed the sympsthies Of
his disciples, but they all foIsook him

comforted hum. also left him.
Instead Of lifting the heavy cross upon
their wings, they let Jesus bear il till he
