AUTHOR'S PREFATORY NOTE
A life-size, marble statue of the Christ wastome the
most interesting object in the art collection of the Colum-
bian Exposition. Never-tiring visits, and different stand-
points on its level and from the gallery above, gave oppor-
tunity for discovering new and varied beauties.
A
young admirer, though seeing it from a single
standpoint, unconsciously revealed her appreciative spirit
by the tone and manner as well as the words of her sub-
dued exclamation, '• Isn't it beautifu^ ! '*
Such is the view we woul^. have al! the young take
of the Christ. To secure It, we must place ourselves, not
' above ' their standpoint, but on a " level ' with them,
' ' '
measuring their field of vision, and pointing to what is
within it ; meanwhile endeavoring to enlarge its scope.
The publishers of this volume, contemplating a
series of Christian Biographies, have fittingly arranged that
the first shall be of Him who is the Inspirer of all worthy
lives.
In consenting to undertake this work, I am not
unmindful of the declaration that, "Whoever thinks him-
self capable of rewriting the story of the Gospels does not
understand them." But that attempt is not herein made.
The purpose, however short of fulfilment, is to direct atten-
tion to such phases of the life and character of our Lord a
author's prefatory note
can be appreciated by the young, and to such of His teach-
ings as are adapted to their needs. In short, it is to pre-
sent Him as the God-man, the Great Teacher, the Perfect
Example and the only Saviour, in a simple, connected nar-
rative of His life on the earth.
A journey through the Holy Land has helped to
make that life real and vivid while such Christian scholar-
;
ship as that of Farrar, Ge?kie, Andrews, Edersheim and
Stalker, has greatly aided in its interpretation.
The author, standing by the side of the young,
where most of his life has been spent, hopes and prays
that, by the Holy Spirit's a!d, they may gain such a view of
our Lord as will cause them to echo the exclamation before
the Columbian statue, " /j»'/ // beautiful!''
