The story of the gospels came at a time when the faith of men was ready to receive it. The world had waited for it. The immaculate conception of Jesus; His precocity in wisdom when a child; His marvelous under standing in riper years, unaided by tuition or association with the learned and thoughtful; His marvelous gift of healing and His power over material nature; His senten tious utterances of the highest spiritual truth; His undef served sufferings at the hands Of bigoted and malicious pietists; His violent death; His resurrection and final dis appearance from human sight, are the elements of a story which crept into the faith Of the world, because it served to solve the problems of being, which no philosophy or speculation of preceding times could solve. Men had lost all faith in mythologic legends. They had wearied of the theories of the origin and destiny Of man and his world, which were incapable Of proof or demonstration.
