Signs of the Times

[From the Christian Guardian, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, Aug. 29, 1923]

There are some people who can do it; you have seen them, have you not? With their coming, night seems to turn into the light of morning, and mistrust and fear and sadness flee away. It is a wonderful gift to have, the gift for giving confidence and hope and courage and great expectation. And there are some people who really have it. . . . Jesus was preeminently one of them, the most remarkable of them that the world has ever seen. What strange, hopeless, heartbroken people, in the light and warmth of his love and fellowship, became beautiful and brave and strong! Men and women dared to believe and to do that which had seemed altogether impossible to them, just because he was near and had spoken some word of comfort and courage to them. Indeed, the whole story of his earthly life is very largely a story of his touch and influence giving new life and hope and courage and ideals and ambitions to men and women whom he had met along the wayside of life.
