''Who Is
Jesus Christ?;
By Itf-V. W. W. KETCHUM
Dirtctor of the Evening CUmm,
Mwdy iliblelbitituii,t'btcgo
TF XT Whom say ye that X am?Mut
tluiw iC;lt. ,
Vhrlsr asked thin question of hl
aisi jfilns ia't'K iin, and lie In Hllll uwk-
' fh tilt HUtHO (Ue-
thai today.
No( only
I s
Christ aHklntc thin
ui-xllnn, but men j
are nskUitf It of j
each other, "Who i
Is tills ChrlHtV
they link . "A
mere man, one In
dividual of tin
race like the rent
of uh, or Bome-
tlilnK more?" It
Is the rlmllHiiilni!
'Christ holds In the hierarchy of beings.
There lire those who try to make uh
helteve that Christ is n mere man.
und nothing more; hut we are not pcr
funded that they have answered th
liiestlon currectly. We readily admit
;he humanlly of Christ. It Is rarely'
ever challenged today. In fact, the
tendency of the age Is towards the hu
aianlxlng of ChriNt altngethnr. Jtut
Ifter we hnve admitted that Christ Is
ft man, there Is that uhout him which
tells us that we have not fully an
swereil his iiuesilon.
Tt was Napoleon Ilonaparte who
said: "I know men, and I tell you
that .Terms Christ Is no mere man."
That Is Just It; we, too, know men.
mid, because we do, we know that
Jesus Christ Is no ineye num. Kvery
one agrees that .Tesus Christ Is the
one sinless personality of the race.
Twenty centuries of hostile criticism
have not found n Haw In his character.
It Is as stainless and spotless as ever.
Of what meru man can you say that?
Then hr.rf never a man lived whoso
character could stand the white light
of criticism us has tho character of
Christ.
And Ms character Is no figment of
tho fancy. It In not tho product of
the Imagluntlon of a few unlearned
fishermen. As Theodore l'nrkcr says:
"Shall we be told such a man uever
lived? Ills whole story Is a Me? Sup
pose that Pinto nnd Newton never
lived? Hut who did their works, and
thought their thoughts? It talc or n
Newton to forgo n Newton. What
man could have fabricated a Jesus?
Nono but a Josus."
llefore, then, wo can nnswer i
Christ's question aright, we must con j
slder his stainless, spotless cliaracler,
. lincuujilcd.liy ;iIi.y,inHU.ln.,Uie pnul nn(J
Itohert InjrerNoll, who never ndnilt-
fed more Hunt he wiim oIiHk"! to, ne- j
kimwlcilcd that Christ wan "u K)d
mid ht'nile ninn," Thai wita a crent
eimceHsloii for the avowed InlldH, nnd,
when weljrhtMl enrefully. It Ih seen to
he an ttrimtt'nt In favor of Dim nnlue
character of Christ, which lirtu him
nlmve mere men. l-'or It Ik nhvloii
to nnyoiip that there etm he no dln-rrrpniK-y
Im-Iwcii ii uooil innn nnd ltln
word. If Christ Ih all Itohert lnj('roll
In will I ijtr to admit a khm1 man,
then Christ's word imisl he "a nnld
word." Wlnit he nays of himself imit
he trti(. or he ut once loses his good
chnnicier and hccomeR it elmrlalaii.
So Christ, Ihen. nmsl he hciird. It Is
aliselntely unfair lo pass Jnd!m'iit
upon him with. ml henrlnj; him. And
11 will help ns, In view of nil that Is
ndinltifit cnnivrnlrljT him. If we listen
to him Kpenti.
Vlrst, he hetirs testimony to his own
eliaraetiT hy publicly cluilletiKlnn nny
one to-couvlct him of sin (John S: Hl).
No tmo wns ever found who accepted
the challenge, and Pilule, who eiim
Im'd him on a Hpiirfous eomphilnt of
the Jt ws, mhl: 'I Jliul mi fault In
lilm.' Hy his own testimony, con
firmed hy the word of I'ibtte, he stiimls
hefore us as the one without spot or
Mcmlsh.
Aiinln. he cliilms that the record lie
hciirs of litmsi lf Is true. If It he not
true, llien wo nre shut up to one al
tcrniitive, inul Mini he was not, as ttl.
ert InuerMitl has nthnltied, "a irtmd
tn'nn:" for a innn H not flood If he ever
hrejithes fals. liood.
lie plainl v Mati'S tli.it he knows
wlienee he cutne. tilid whither he cne.H
(.Itihn R : 1 't ) , und wh- he Is. lleur
him lis he stiys: "No tiian hutli
nsecndrd up Into henven hut he tliut
nine town from lienvi-n. even the Son
i'f Mm. which N In henven" (John
!!:I.'t). To i!1( wimoiui nf Stnnarla, who
' I know tluit Mi'.n rmneth
whli-h called ClirM." he replies "I
MhiM wpenk unto thee am he" (John
4 'Jit) ; nnd In th e horn Mind.
uh.-oe eyeji he Inul o. uvm!. lie nkei :
"IVisi thou hclli'Te nti the Sou cf
