THE sermon on the Mount, with
its iine sense Of justice and human
solidarity has been explained AS a
beautiful dream.
I'VE have thought we were Chris
tians. We have been very jealous for
the traditions Of the fathers. We
have fought fiercely for the letters Of
our creeds. We have professed to
reverence a book, whose precepts we
ignore.
I'VE have done the easy outward
things and explained away the hard,
inner ones. We have put orthodoxy
and eccleciasticsm In the place Of
Christ"
