MORAL COURAGE
OF JESUS TOPIC

In his series of Thursday morning
talks on elements in the Character OF
Jesus DR.. J. H. Williams took UP
this week His Personal Magnetism, "
explaining that this personal magnet.
ism was not an intermittent quality
but as permanent as the magnetism
which enclrcles the world, and that
Jesus was the great moral and spirit.
ual magnet of the world.
In illustration he cited various mani.
festations of this personal magnetism,
first in the good cheer he brought to
a hopeless world. The idea that Jesus
was a man, of gloom could not have
been the description of any one who
had observed him as he walked among
the lilies, watched the birds. lived in
the open sunlight and air. Again, he
was a magnet in the social life of the
world. Everything debasing, every
thought of scandal and gossip fled
when he entered a gathering, and he
was one of the greatest conversation.
alists known as The Passing of the
Third Floor Back" brings out sc
wildly. ....>
his magnetism In the moral life of
the world is slowly but surely raising
its standards, and by his touch on the
problems of race and sex the gulf
which separated nation from nation
and man from woman is being bridged.
He gave us new value of human life;
he was not concerned merely in saving
men from destruction after death, but
in building them up into worthwhile
characters here and now.
+ The next talk will be on "His Moral
Courage" and will be given at 10
o'clock in the Bible school rooms of
Central Union church. All interested
are invited to attend and ladies may
bring their sewing If they desire.
