The mental life OF the GaiIiean pre-
senn some of the most fascinating stud
les IN the entire field OF psychoiogicai
phenomena Not even the mind OF a
cnlld mas such perfect simplicity. The
s cor things OF everyday life form
no speech that equals his In trans
parency and d'rectness and even Renan
SAYS mat In going through the four
gospels whenever you touch his words
you feel them vibrate I sometimes think
! ne sent his words forth like living shirt.
20 go forever through the world. and as
Tor his sentences. they hang like banners
N the air. The Gaiilean Is seemingly
destitute OF the logical faculty lie deals
lntal,iyely with the most difficult and
stupendous questions. He never dem
onetrates anything. lie has no con-
structive Imagination: I mean that HIS
mlnd never touches anything that is un-
rear: He knows nothing OF metaphysics:
ne Is spiritual but never uetaphysicai
An astonishing thing about him Is that
sne element OF time In its relation TO his
i great plan never appears in his mental
| operations. lie seems to be always look
ing beyond the horizon. out over all the
ekpanse OF time lie seems 10 have no
! yesterday. today and tomorrow Now
I observe i've mental charactertstics
which you can md combined In no other
! man; 1D lie never has the slightest
shadow OF doubt or uncertainty about
anything Whenever he asks a Question
| II Is never n confession that he is seek
ing needed Information. but Is always a
suggestion or incentive TO thought or ac-
4 ton. 90 He II never surprised (3) He
never entertains any suspicious az He
counsel with himself or with 9th ers and
weishting his words. 80 lie Is never
hurried. Let US consider now the fact
,nat experience is not factor in his
I mental ire lie knew no more at the end
/ OF his ministry than at the beginning:
| ne knew as much at the beginning as nj
, ,ne ena. lie never passes from a lower
/ 10 a higher plane OF thinking, or from a
narrow TO a broader range The Man OF
GaHiee never made a mistake in his
| whole life, never committed an error ~
Judgment, never failed to adopt the right
course In an emergency. or say the right
| thing. What shall be said of that strange
mental power which gave such piercing
| glances into the future? Is IL not won
! derful that he foresaw the future so
| clearly? lie told his followers that they
| would be hated and killed and history
/ 50 writes IL down. Is 10 not a bewflder-
I ths PROOF OF his amazing foresight TO
near him say: If be FITTED up will
/ draw all men unto me-" and then re-
| member that millions even hundreds Of
! millions OF men and women have gath
cred around the wooden instrument on
! which he was lifted up7 What also shall
be said OF that striking feature OF his
nina. us comprehsnsiveness7 In pray
