career of Jesus was this simple but significant statement: He went about doing good" Put these three things together and you have one of the most inspiring biographies that could be written concerning any man: The friend of publicans and sinners. He saved others, himself He could not save. He went about doing good
 The politicians were deposited as the very offscouring of the earth. And yet Jesus saw in them something worth saving. But we must remember that He was champion of the rich as well as of the poor. If He did rot do so much for them as He did for the poor and neglected it was because they would not let Him. E
 Then Jesus was a great friend be- cause He was passionate. He saw people as sheep having no shepherd.
