Revenge Unnecessary.

We admire very often pride and high
estate, splendor Of intellect or magic
of emotion. But the spiritual man is
gentle, calm, meek, and >unresentful. How
shall you, ever ready to defend yourselves
against unjust attacks, ever ready to
prove you are in the right AND the other
in the wrong. ever eager to take up the
weapon to strike when you have been
struck, who think it unmanly to bear
insult in silence-how shall you appreci-
ate the majesty Of the dignity which
when accused remained silent before His
judges, and to every threat and accusa-
ton made He answered not a word?
There is the spiritual secret; the law
is sure, and good: you do not need to
avenge yourselves. If you have been
wronged the great law will right you;
and none can harm you unless you have
made the weapon for your striking: for
only those who have wronged receive
back the blow on themselves.
So, IL you would know the Christ when
He comes, cultivate the spirit of the
Christ Develop in yourself, not only
gentleness and patience. but all the
qualities which 90 to the making Of the

There is another argument, not histor-

history, wherever you see the sign OF a

the people, a tendency which is going to
accomplish itself in human history. when
the time is ripe, the idea ever becomes
incarBate in a person, and the person
makes visible on earth that which has
