what we have not done, BY SINS OF OMISSION, we are judged. It could
not be otherwise. For the withholding of love is the negation of
the spirit of Christ, the proof that we never knew Him, that for
us He lived in vain. It means that He suggested nothing in all our
thoughts, that He inspired nothing in all our lives, that we were
not once near enough to Him to be seized with the spell of His
compassion for the world. It means that---


"I lived for myself, I thought for myself,
For myself, and none beside--
Just as if Jesus had never lived,
As if He had never died."


Thank God the Christianity of today is coming nearer the world's
need. Live to help that on. Thank God men know better, by a hair's
breadth, what religion is, what God is, who Christ is, where Christ
is. Who is Christ? He who fed the hungry, clothed the naked,
visited the sick. And where is Christ? Where?--"Whoso shall receive
a little child in My name receiveth Me.' And who are Christ's?
"Every one that loveth is born of God."
