HUMAN GREATNESS
DR.. WickS, in Vacation Ser
monI Pleads for Up
ward Look.

1t is a good thing TO lift the eyes
once in a while to human great
ness" DR.. Frank S. c. Wicks, pastor
of All Souls Unitarian Church, de-
clared in his vacation sermon Sun
day. published in the Indianapolis
Unitarian Bulletin.
Tt is a good thing to admire the
endid proportions Of q great man;
IS perfect adjustment to the niche
IA which we have placed him." DR..
icks writes
Continuing, he urges This up
ward look is good if we do not lose
sight of the common clay Of which
all men are made. It is good to lift
our eyes to the heavens at night,
and admire the scintillating beauty
of the stars, with their steady
march in the path of obedience. but
we must not forget that this brown.
prOsaic earth of ours is also shin
ng. celestial orb, made up of the
same elements as the morning and
evening stars, and has it's place in
the grand chorus that makes the
music of the spheres.
Common Clay
$50 we must recognize that COM
mon men are Of the same stuff as
the great ones Of the race. 1t was
once supposed that great men were
cast in a different mold. and the
mold broken after one impression.
when q great man appeared. men
made haste to defy him; connect
him with the gods. Achilles was
said 10 be of divine parentage. Plato,
Pythagoras, Alexander. Augustus
and many others were said to have
had divine fathers. Stories of virgin
birth ara numerous.
1T would be surprising if Jesus
had not been made a God, born of
a virgin. He could be accounted
for in no other way. The existing
idea of man as a fallen being could
not account for such an exceptional
man.
When an exceptional man ap-
pears among u we simply enlarge
our conception Of humanity so as TO
include him. Claiming made
humanity so divine that Jesus was
to him. and is TO us. the normal
man. DR.. Wicks declares.
