MINUTE SERMON

The Greeks thought of Good
as goodness, truth, and beauty.
That was their highest concept.
The Mohammedans think of God
in terms of ninety-nine attri.
butes. The Buddists think of Him
in terms of the highest values to
which they have arrived in their
search for truth. These were the
words of a former professor of
philosophy at Lucknow Universe
ty last week. His father was a
Modammedan who became a
Christian. The glory of the Chris
tan faith, he said, is that we do
not only have a concept of God.
