"The Escape of Christ"
Using as his topic, THE Escape
of Christ" the Rev. DR.. Anderson
said at union services yesterday at
First Congregational Church: THE
early church tried to hold Christ
by their differences over religion.
The Greeks with their philosophy,
the Romans with their law, tried to
restrain Him. The painters and
sculptors have tried to represent
Him as weak and effeminate. Some
have tried to keep Him in the pages
of a book, the Bible, and others
would keep Him only in the fellow
ship of their own denomination, or
race, or nation. He escapes all
these"
In closing, DR.. Anderson said:
sAs we enter this week of perfect de-
votion, discipline, sacrifice and sur
render we can glimpse kind Of
life from which He will not escape
in which we may have perfect fell
lowship and support from Him"
