life Of the meek and lowly Nazarene.
Born in a stable he was finally buried
in the tomb Of a friend. The very
shrOud which hid the wounds through
which had poured his innocent blood,
was the gift OF charity. That he
might reach mankind better, Jesus
chose to be poor. He associated on
terms Of equality with Che doctors OF
the Sanhedrim and with publicans
aud sinners. 10 his teaching, he dis
played greater contempt for caste aud
class distinctions with which we are
wont to surround men of high official
or social position than any other man
who ever lived. He was the great
est leyeler the world has known.
AS a philanthropist, Christ diff
fered from the rich men Of our day
who give back the booty Of extortion
to perpetuate their names. Christ
gave to the world the Christian home,
schools, emauclpated womaphood,
and the church.
