Jesus thought little as to property,
because he knew there were more
important things than property. he
measured property and life. the body
and soul at their exact relative value
He taught much as to character, be-
cause character was more important
than dollars.
Other men taught lis to develop
systems of government. Jesus taught

The human experience Of 2OCu

Jesus spoke the truth; He lived
the truth: and truth is eternal.
History has no record of any other
man leading perfect life or doing
anything in logical order. Jesus is
the only person whose every action
ard every utterance strike true
note in the heart of every man born
of woman. He never said foolish
thing, never did foolish act, and
never diSSembled.
No poet. no dreamer, no phlloSo-
pher loved humanity with the love
that Jesus bore toward all men.
Who, then. was Jesus?
He could not have been merely i
man, for there was never d man who
had two consecutive thoughts abb
.olutely in truthful perfection.
Jesus must have been what Chris
tendon prOclaimS Him to be - d
divine being or He could not have
been what He Was No mind but an
infinite mind could have left behind
those things which Jesus gave TO the
world as heritage.
