"Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter the kingdom of heaven.".. How entirely has Christendom refused to learn this lesson of "the little child"! She has consented to forget that it was a poor despised Galilean, a carpenter's Son, that suffered the death of the cross.... He did not go to Calvary from kings' courts, or amid the acclamations of the world; but He was the rejected One... "a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people."... Christendom... may boast of Calvary and of the Lamb of God in a certain way, but it has entirely lost sight of Nazareth and of the carpenter's Son. It links the palace with the cross, greatness in the world, wealth and ease with the confession of Jesus and of the gospel.
