Alweed, and a sister-in-law, Miss Alweed; she had the greatest confidence in the absorbed attention of the slightest of her acquaintances. "Hector, he's my boy, you know although why I call him a boy I can't think because he's twenty-two and a half he's at Cambridge, Christs College well, this morning I had a letter ..." she would begin. She began now upon Martin. His mind wandered.
The portraits here are prime, those of the Bishop of Antwerp, Jean Malderus, and of the young girl with the two dogs. His various Christs are more piteous to behold than those of his master, Rubens. The feminine note is present, and without any of the realism which so shocks in the conceptions of the Primitives. Nevertheless we turn to his portraits or to the little boy standing at a table.
So that it is no arrogance, though it may be a questionably wise form of expression, when we say that the object of Christ's coming is to make us all Christs, God's anointed, and to make us so because He Himself in His Spirit dwells in us. Christ can do that. He can give this Spirit. That is the very thing that all other teachers cannot do.
The Christs in the two chapels are strikingly alike, and the general effect is that of a residuary impression left in the mind of one who had known the Varallo Flagellation exceedingly well. Sta. Veronica. This and the next succeeding chapels are the most important of the series.
Every one, male or female, is a servant, a minister of God. All are priests. All are kings. The truth makes us free: free from all authorities, but the authority of God, God in the soul. Christ is our brother, not our master. He is a helper, not a ruler. And all are helpers of each other. All are saviours. All are Christs. Inspiration is not a matter of time, or place, or person.
Apart from the secondary articles of faith which differentiated the churches, their main principles may be epitomised as follows: There are seven heavens, and the seventh is the Paradise of the "divine men." There dwell the Holy Trinity, the Mother of Jesus, the Archangels, and various Christs who have visited our planet. It is not a question of material bodies, but of spiritual principles.
In fine, if miracles would prove the Messiahship of Jesus, so also they would prove the Messiahship of the false Christs, and false prophets spoken of above. It is a striking circumstance, that the earliest apologists for Christianity laid little stress upon the miracles of its founder.
The greatest ancient teachers, followed by the galaxy of Christs who arose in the twentieth century, not to mention such comparatively modern spiritual leaders as Blitherinjam, Tosh, and Spiffkins, all taught that punishment and revenge, coercion and militarism, are mistakes, and that the golden rule
Why should we not go even beyond Paul, and honour God by assuming a number of Christs, among whom if we approach the subject impartially would be Socrates, Zarathustra, Gautama the Buddha, as well as Jesus the Christ? Why, indeed, should we not? I do not, therefore, see why the Life of Jesus should be a barrier to the reconciliation of Christianity and Hinduism.
The black and dusty Christs in the old cathedrals, with the livid mouth, the skeleton and distorted body, the feet bony, and dripping with blood, much blood, that liquid so loved by the religious when doubt begins and faith weakens, and to impose dogma they place their hand on the sword.
