the incidents of that day of darkness
when Jesus was crucihed:
Nineteen years ago. in Nebraska. as
editor OF a 'FreethinkerS journal, early
in December he sat down to write the
leader for the Christmas issue. very nat
urally, he began to speak OF the approach
ing holiday. But he could not write the
usual words to which he had be-
come accustomed. Il wrote of His birth
in poverty. and of His life Of suffering"
he said afterward. Il spoke of His ter
rible death. But the central point of the
article was the argument that those who
are -blaspheniing Christ now are of the
same character as those who crucif1ed
Him-the most miserable creatures of
earth" Then. turning TO copy OF the
pa per in which the article was published
he translated these sentences for me: Il
am a freethiDker. man of no dogma, re-
living upon reason and heart only. But
from the depth of this heart bow before
the Savior OF men. and with all the power
of my reason l tremble- In wonder. and
am amazed before the life of Christ. The
mob which crucified Christ Is. to an ex-
tent. excusable: they did not know what
they were doing: they were in the hands
of their deceivers."
Jesus is not dead He is living today.
for He rose from the dead. And He Is
changing lives today as He changed the
life of the freethinker-as He has changed
the lives of scores Of those whom the
reader of this article knows personally

1t is told of d. L. Moody that he was
once approached by college student

Mr.. Moody looked at him, sharply and
said: Are you trying to find Him by
your intellect or by a pure life? Have
you no cherished sin in your life which
hides Him? For sin is always like an
pure in heart who know God. Don't try
to find Him by your reason, but try to
live in His spirit. with a clean heart. and
by and by you will find Him."

own consciences by what they say. even
as wise man profits by the cruel charge
of an ignorant enemy; but as to being
ruled by it, 1t would be as absurd as
fer a criticism coming from myself,
knowing little of astronomy, of a great
astronomer to be considered, or as the
criticism of a man who does not know
one tone from another of Beethoven or
Mendelssohn to be thought of weight.
Therefore, let us not be worried by
charges of inconsistency coming from
those who have not given their hearts
and lives to God. Their charges may
make us examine ourselves anew, but
they need have no weight to worry us.
In the same way we may measure the
declaration Coming from non-Christian
men that Christians ought to live better
lives What do they know of Christian
living who have not consecrated their
lives to Christ? How are they capable
of judging who have not concerned to
the first law of obedience to God, namely
an acknowledgment of His claim upon
them? What do they know of struggle
and temptation and contest, who have
never entered into the battle with sin or
thought it necessary to enroll themselves
publicly on the side OF right? man has
no ideals he can call his own who does
not seek to reach them. How, then, can
he measure fairly the life of one who
not only sees the vision, but longs and
battles to attain it? I confess to little
patience with the charges brought against
Christians and their failures and their
faults by those who are not in the ranks
and who do not wear the uniform.
l Yet. for all this: We Christians must
, humbly. before God, acknowledge our
faults and realize that He calls us to a
hfe quite different from the life of the
world. We are not called upon to shut
ourselves away from the world in mon
asteries and churches. as being peculiarly
holy. But we are called upon to main
tain. our faith and our Christian char
acter In the midst Of naughty world"
las the ancients called it. and to know
that our ends and aims are quite other
than those of the men who live for time.
FOR pleasure, for self-advancement, and
not Tor Christ. Wherein lies the differ
ence, then, between a Christian and one
who is not Christian?
