because he triumphed over evil,
manhood is helped to trample temp
tation under foot; because he re-
mained pure and undefiled, there
is ever just before us an eXamplar
to copy. We discover him to be
no splitter of theological hairs;
no creator and enforcer of a set
belief save in God, the father of
all, from which cause we are His
sons, and brothers to Jesus.
Deeds, not creeds; deeds are
creeds," his forward cry. Tis
creed enough to see in him ca
reer to initiate. ''Creeds first.
deeds afterwards" the opposing
words of those who, by their hu-
man folly, would have darkened
the light that rose in the human
heart from his career.
xk
Through him we see that those
who never understand their grand
eur, whose hearts never throb with
noble purpose, whose powers new
er rejoice TO run the race of life,
are those who look outward from
within perpetually, as though the
unive erse circled for them alone.
To such, wrapped up in self, whose
souls needs must be saved though
all others perish, willing to take
but unwilling to give, dead though
appearing to live; to all such his
life gives rebuke. From him we
learn truth that the great world
around is fast grasping; that he
who gives most gets most; he is
filled with good things and crown
ed with glory and honor imperish-
able, who scattereth all of good
that he has, that his soul is best
saved whose soul is self-reckoned
as naught if he can but save 9th
ers. To breathe such an atmos-
phere of spirit after groveling in
agony as some of us do, afraid to
live and yet more afraid to die, is
to move from the air of the dun
geon into the ecstacy of the noun
tain top. Life lived in his way has
infinite width to it; it is its own
great reward, yet other rewards
there be. 1t bushes the cIamoring
passions, it gives man world
citizenship; it enables him to see
kinsman in every fellow; 1t thrills
him oven in obscurity with a sense
of brotherhood to all the great
souls of all the ages; it guides the
hand upward into the Divine, and
the narrow, darkened way broad
ems into a golden, shimmering
spread of light up which to travel
to the real center of shings.
Whether avowcdly or not mat
ters little, it is his spirit that thrills
the closing years of our century.
Against the fatalism and materi-
alism Of Mahommed, against the
selishness and pessimism of the
Hindoo anxious to escape away in
to unconscionsness, against the
slavish worship of the past by the
Confucians, we see virile, ag-
gressive, hopeful force at work in
every nation that has fallen under

The great and the head-wise are
often wrong; while the humble and
obscure serve to make and trans
nit the public opinion that gradu-
ally overthrows error. Note that
the wise men were turned aside to
Jerusalam while the simple shep-
herds, patiently doing their weari-
some duties by night, untroubled
by the puzzling questions of the
Magi, learned more than these
about ''peace and goodwill"

Since their day each age has
through its wisest tried to recre-
ate and interpret anew the frag-
mentary career of the lowly man.
They have darkened his counsel
with words, they have smothered
the breadth of his purpose, they
have tried to wall around the sea
of his goodness, they have attempt
cd to seal up and confine the sun
shine of truth. But over against
the llmiters of light, the monopo-
lists of heaven, the head-wise in
terpreters, must be set the heart
of the common people, who, like
the man born blind, cannot argue
down sophistries and puzzle out
intricate faiths, but can simply fall
back upon the unanswerable de-
monstration of the peace and good
will, ''whereas l was blind now |
