There Are Three Things In The World

The Man Whom Society Will Not Forgive Nor Restore Is Driven Into Recklessness.

The Charm Of The Words Of Great Men, Those Grand Sayings Which Are Recognized As True As Soon As Heard, Is This, That You Recognize Them As Wisdom Which Has Passed Across Your Own Mind. You Feel That They Are Your Own Thoughts Come Back To You.

But If There Has Been On This Earth No Real, Perfect Human Life, No Love That Never Cooled, No Faith That Never Failed, Which May Shine As A Loadstar Across The Darkness Of Our Experience, A Light To Light Amidst All Convictions Of Our Own Meanness And All Suspicions Of Other's Littleness, Why, We May Have A Religion, But We Have Not A Christianity. For If We Lose Him As A Brother, We Cannot Feel Him As A Saviour.

We Are Too Much Haunted By Ourselves, Projecting The Central Shadow Of Self On Everything Around Us. And Then Comes The Gospel To Rescue Us From This Selfishness. Redemption Is This, To Forget Self In God.

There Is A Two-fold Solemnity Which Belongs To The Dying Hour-it Is The Winding Up Of Life, And It Is The Commencement Of Eternity.
