RERE are the two poles of the
great project of the wonderful
Man of Galilee. Very great and
wonderful things have been said of
his loth verse, and there the comment
in stopped. Why stop at the 16th?
Vhy not follow on? Jesus bade us
ollow him, and that means on into the
ruths into which he leads us quite as
rnuch as his acts. John lil:l Is Chris-
tanity intensively stated; John 111:17,
xtensively. One deals with the Indi-
idual; the other with the mass of in-
ividuals.
Considering what Jesus proposes to
o for this "whosoever," to do upon
im. do with him and through him, his
rojects upon his behalf are quite as
tupendous as those which he proposes
o do for organized society.
Vilie ef Iadlvidnal Propovaided.
Never before did human propose a
rogramrae even remotely approaching
lis of Jesus in ambition, in calm as-
trance, in lofty benevolence. For the
rst time the value of the individual
as propounded. He had hitherto been
lost in the mass; he existed for It; he
went crushing into extinction when be
and it collided. Now Jesus discovers
him. challenges him, pedestals him.
discloses him to himself.
He is, then, not a mere wave rising
from the deal levels of a vast sea of
existence and being, only to sink and
fade out and back, lost to all hope of
identity, continuance, form or con
sciousness. He does not share the
brute's brief span along with a kindred
bone, sinew and form. The thing which
he had thought a soul, dwelling apart
from flesh, was not a mere echo of
mere material vibrations. There was.
then, a kinship within to God, and
there was really a God to be kin to.
Jesus was guarantee of this Is this
actually so? And is the Individualism
of the person to be shaped after him.
and was he the mould to which each
might hope to be fashioned?
We venture the assertion that In
these slowly percolating thoughts the
mere human came to its greatest. dis
covery concerning Itself. Moreover, we
are emboldened to say that democracy
was born upon that day that a ran
dom group of Syrian fishermen, who
had found congenial pursuit of a com-
on and hazardous business, met the
Galileean and made the great discovery
first concerning him, and then con
cerning themselves each concerning
himself.
Look, how that haunting, pervasive
word of Jesus, "whosoever," starts upon
its long, long pilgrimage; how it
searches out the solitary man, tracks
the desert after him. scents his trail,
hunts him down. Look, how once Jesus
committed himself to that search. He
never foregoes It.
Bring together the cosmos, the world.
with all its billions; it is made up of
innumerable "whosoevers." He deals
with the Individual. He begins with
him; never foregoes htm; there can be
no "cosmos," no world without him.
The hope of the world Is In the dis
covery which he makes of himself; that
hope rests upon the value which the
individual sets upon himself, as he first
borrows it from Jesus.
Indlvidnal 3Iaa Improved.
Soon a whole generation in that proud
Roman Empire will accept the great
Athanasian conception of what that
great life meant; and the individual
man will be whelmed with the conH
sclousness that he is to appraise him
self in the terms of value which he
had to God and that that value was
expressed in the agony of the cross to
save him.
Centuries will go on; here and there
will be the upstanding ones who shall
see that "whosoever" means individ
ualism wrought to its highest pitch;
who will see that the "manner of man"
which Jesus was was the mould Into
which he must be melted and refash
ioned; that the great God's enthusiasm
for and delight in human nature is al
ways human nature as Instanced in
Jesus; and that Jesus, upon his sacri
ficial cross, was the supreme expres
sion to which he, the man, must seek
to conform In spirit and motive.
Many there were, perhaps, but few
who blended powers to do conspicu
ously and win the favor of the world's
eye and make it loath to forget. But
Jesus was to come to John, ill : 1 7, only
through John 111:16, and he was patient
to wait for long until the "whoso
evers" were enough in number to min
gle arid blend Into a vast "cosmos" of
society.
Great Outdoor His Recreation.
Jesus loved the cosmos. Order, sys
tem, method he had wrought creatively
into every atom. Jesus loved the city;
the desert and mountain were his rec
reation. It was at the edge of the
most intense civic entity of Its age.
packed with people, organized with
rare genius for social unity it was on
Mount Olivet, overlooking Jerusalem,
that he paused to weep.
It is human to weep. He wept for
sheer lonesomeness. He never before
felt so aloof from his kind. He longed I
over that city. It was the concen
trated essence of "the cosmos" of
which he spoke in John, 111:17. What
could he not do with it were it once
his? He was not to have it; he must
make a cosmos of his own.
Jesus needed that vast social organ-
Ism, the Greek and "Roman civilization,
to the ends of his propaganda. Histo
rians pause to note how happily the
spread of the Greek language and cul
ture made for the early expression and
Interpretation of Jesus': message. They
show how the Roman nation, had it
been proposed and accomplished in or
der to advance the cause of Jesus,
could not have accomplished its work
more happily.
But the providence whioh we invoke
and in the operations of which" we de
voutly believe, could not have had all
of that fall out by accident. It was
Jesus using To his own ends the high
achievements of human genius. Per
haps slwer genius never has wrought
a finer thing than Just those two great
cultures.
Divine Plan Is Perfected.
AH cultures fell to his uses. There
was significance deep, divine signifi
cance that the superscription over him
and his cross was written in the three
great languages, representing the three
great el torts or ancient times at a
"cosmos," a social order, a culture.
If we postulate the Christ of the New
Testament, limn him out, triangulate
mm, struggle over and quarrel with
the little limitations of human lan
guage to define him it shall then be
easy enough to see that Paul's term
"fullness of time" was but his synonym
for our common word, "providence."
Jesus loved, and loved to use, the hu
man instrumentalities lying at hand.
lie invented no language of his own,
though he remlnted some of the great
est words in the Greek language, and
put to tnem his own image and super
scrlptlon.
But all of those ancient forms of so
cial "cosmos" wore out of act. Their
little systems ceased to be. A great
Divine Plan was on. "Races had worn
out their strains of blood. God was
the author of heredity; He had set lim
itations to it. New bloods must mingle
with old; vast reservoirs of racial po
tencies were held congealed in the
fastnesses of Asia and Northern Europe.
The fountains broke up. God found
new occasions, rather, wrought them,
in the rise of modern history. He
loosed the disciplinary and chastening
forces with which men struggled on
to tne ends or their liberation, their
new appreciations of liberty, on to
their self-realization.

Politically, Jesus was infallibly the
philosopher in John 111:16 and 111:17, and
in observing the logic of their order.
To him, of course, the political was
but a by-product In his redemptive
and creative purpose. Individualism,
adapted to and conformative to the
perfect collectivism, this he projected
morally, religiously.
That any so-called political pro
