A RELIGION FOR CROWDS

Is Christianity old-fashiOned for the
crowded whirl' or modern ex-
istence?
IL is true that we live in crowds,
even die in crowds in this day of hur-
ried community life, but even in old
en- times, people had the community
instinct, and it was in the midst of
crowds that some of the greatest work
of Jesus was done.
While a mere boy, He gathered on
a feast day in the temple and talked
to the people, who crowded the
temple to hear. When He performed
His first miracle, He was in the midst
of a crowd of noisy wedding guests.
When He made of the lOaves and
fishes, bread and meat to fill and leave
many baskets of fragments over, He
was feeding a multitude. Everywhere
He went the crowds followed Him,
Just as the crowds today follow Billy
Sunday and just as they have followed
all the other great evangelists who
have carried the gospel of Christianity.
True, the Savior of men loved to
steal away to some high mountain of
solitude, in order that He might be
alone for communion with His father,
but who is there believing in the
doctrine of human brotherhood and as
sociation though he may, who does
not long sometimes for the peace of a
communion with himself alone and
with an unseen world? Those times
of peace but served to make the
crowd dearer when Jesus returned to
il.
Jesus Christ loved the crowd. The
hours that He spent speaking to the
multitude were happy ones, and He
never rebuked those who followed
Him, though they might break in on
the time He had set aside for rest.
The religion of Jesus is a stately re-
ligion, a beautiful religion, but it is
the only religion which has stood
the test of the crowd, and come out as
beautiful and as ennObling as ever.
1t is Religion for Crowds.
