All the world say, “Why this ado, this nutes] demonstration What a vivid presentation it would be, when at such a con vocation the physie ans of the world should tell what Christ has done for hospitals and the assuagement of human pain, and when christian lawyers declare what Christ has done for the establishment of good laws, and Christian conquerors should tell what Christ bad dene In the conquest of Nations, and Christian rulers of the earth would tell what Christ had donein the Government of earthly dominions! Thirty days of such eslebration would do more to tell the world who Christ is than any thirty years, Not a land on earth but would hear of it and discuss it, Not an oye 80 dimmed by the superstition of ages but would see the illumination, The difference of Christ's religion from all others !s that ita one way of dissemination Is by a simple “telling,” not argument, not skilful exeget. sts, polemios or the science of theological fisteufMs, but “telling.” “Tell yo the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy King cometh,” “Go quickly and toll His disciples that He has ricen from the dead, “‘Go home to thy friends and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee” “Whon Hels come, ie will tell us all things.” A religion of “telling.” And in what way could all Nations so well be told that Christ had come as by such an fnteraational emphasizing of His nativity? All Indis would ery out about such an affair, for you know they have thelr railroads and tnisqrapht, What Is going on in Ameriea?” All China would ery out, “What is that cxoitement in Amerien?’ All the islands of the ses would come down the gangplanks of tho arriving ships and ask, “What i= that they are celebrating in America?
