The whole Jewish law had its di
vine inspiration, its secret .spirit, but
it was hidden in a vast system, of
forms. Christ said, "I come not to
destroy but to fulfill," and the true
spirit of the law was seen in him. In
winter an old apple tree is homely,
gnarled and twisted. But in spring
when it is covered With blossoms
there is nothing more beautiful. So
the old Jewish law blossoms into
beauty and comes to fruit in Jesus
Christ.
Christianity is not a system of
laws, but a state of the heart. Christ
In a man—that is the Christian relig
ion. It is Christ dwelling in the
heart by faith, ank then a man be
gins to know the length and the
breadth and height and depth of the
lore of Christ whieh passeth knowl
edge. Outside of personal experi
ence, Christianity Is pale as a lunar
rainbow.
There are three avenues of expe
rience by wh*4h Christ may come to
man—eight, Intellect, the heart. To
have seen Chrtet wa* deemed of great.
