He talked about God and about

sermon on the mount Tourists are
shown little hill near Tiberias as
Kurn Hattin, the Mount of Beati-
tudes, whereas the real crags of
Kurn Hattin are up on the north
western corner of the Lake of Cali

scene of the sermon on the slope of
the Mount of Beatitudes, east of the
Jordan River. looking down on the
lake.
For this philosophy of life which
Jesus expounded as the laws of the
kingdom as fundamental to a new
state of society. They are radical
to an extent that makes a conven-
tionaliSt gasp. They put life on a
spiritual basis; and deem blessed"
those whom the world pities or holds
in contempt. Not outward seeming,
but inward being, is what really
counts. What they say" means
less than Thus saith the Lord. /"
The final srbiter is THE Father

Staggeringly stern-beyond those
given to MoSes-are the laws laid
down in the sermon on the mount.
They call for changed natures with

while he recognizes" them, he
hasn't told the London Poles that
