The Loving christ.
A German sculptor made an image OF
Christ, and he asked his little child, 9
years old, who it was, and she said, "That
must be some very great man" The
sculptor was dsplcascd with the crti-
cism, so he got another block of marble
and Chsccd away on it two or three
years. and then he brought in his little
child 1 or > years OF age, and said to
her. "Nho do you think that is?" She
said, "i'hat must be the one who took
little children in his arms and blessed
them" Then the sculptor was satisfied
Oh, my friends, what the world wants is
not Il cold Christ, not an intellectual
Christ. not n severely magistcrial Christ,
but loving Christ, spreading out his
arms Of sympathy to press the whole
world to his loving heart!
But | remark again that the religious
discourse Of the future WILL have to be
short. Condensation is demanded by the
age in which We live No more need Of
long introductions and long applications
and 80 many divisions to discourse that
il may be said to he hydra headed. In
other days men got all their informal ION
from the pulpit. There were fcw books,
and there were no newspapers, and there
was little travel from place to place, and
people would sit and listen two and n
halt hours to a religious DISCOURSE and
"Scycntcenthly' would find them fresh
and clipper. In those days there was
enough time for man TO take an hour
to warm himself up to the subject and
an ho9 to cool off. But what was a ne
rcsSity then is a superiority now. Con
grcSItions are full of knowledge from
