more than man. 1t would be ridicu-
lous, it would be blasphemous, for
you or for me to say these things,
but it does not shock us to hear them
fallino so quietly yet confidently
fro the limos of Jesus.
The egotism of Jesus is the egotism
of godhood. If He is what He as
sumes, He could not say less. In His
sufferings He emptied Himself of His
godhood that His sufferings might be
real: but do not misunderstood Him.
He never takes a second place. His
test of religion is devotion to Him.
You are trying to be religious.
You attend church and contribute to
pious causes. You engage in relig-
ious activities. Why? What is your
objective? Who is to benefit by all
this? A close analysis will show
that much of our religion never gets
to Christ at all
Much that we do, we do because
we like it. 1t is decent and respecta-
BILE. 1t makes us feel important. 1t
is expected of US. 1t helps the church
to make good record. All this is
nice. But it is not being Christian.

CHRISTIANITY is not the religion
~ of creed or cult. or a ritual
or a system; it is the religion of
person.
Jesus was the greaest egotist the
world has ever known. He was what
He taught, and the essence of relig-
ion was devotion to Him. The most
superficial study of His teachings re-
veals this.
Il am the way" In a word He
sends all other methods of finding
God to the rear.
mo man cometh unto the Father
blu by me-" Surely He does not mean
that to be taken literally. Yes, but
He does, for He says: "He that
climbeth up some other way, the same
is thief and a robber."
''Come unto me, all We that labor
and are heavy laden, and l will give
you rest" What an amazing thing
for any man to say But more amaz-
ing than the statement is it's fulfill
ment.
