Aauf Gnu &fallg Knnmn Him?
~,
Bv BRUCE BARTON

@ INCE we stand upon the threshold of His
~ birthday, let me introduce you to the
most attractive, most delightful young
man in the world.
You have never known Him He
really is; all the pictures ever drawn misrep-
resent Him. They have made Him out a
weakling, woman's features with beard
He who for thirty years swung an adj and
drove a saw through heavy timbers, who for
long days tramped the borders of His loved
lake, and would not sleep indoors if He could
slip away into His garden.
An outdoor man He was, mans man, who
could stand and watch when all His friends
deserted Him in sleep, and could face the
tempest in little boat, calm-eyed and I'M
afraid.
They have called Him paci6st. How could
they forget that day, | wonder, when in the
midst of the hard.faced crowd He stood, and,
braiding a little whip, drove them out before
Him?
Think you it was only the glance of right
eous anger in His eye that sent them scurry-
ing? | tell you that behind that little whip
were muscles of iron, made strong by many
years of labor, and a spirit that never once
knew fear, not even in the presence of the
cross.
| have met men longfaced and sorrowful.
wagging their heads bitterly over the evil of
the world, and by their very joylessness add
ing to that evil And in their hearts they sup
posed that they were representing Him.
Think of it-representing Him, to whom
little children focked with joyous laughter,
and men, beseeching Him to have dinner with
them in their homes!
