Excerpt from In the Power of God: The History of a Religious Movement

"With Christ to love -

With Him to show us what lay lost in us -

Man by His birth, God by His deathlessness

For His sake all the race of men grows great.

... Wherefore, if there live

Brothers too low to love, too base to serve,

Too evil to forgive; if aught in Man

So abject seem and so to brute allied,

Nice natures scorn the kinship; think that Christ

Knew also these, and measured these and made

His daily sojourn 'midst them; and was swift

To succour them and cheer; and bore with them,

Never once holding any lowly soul

Less dear to heaven than high and saintly souls,

Never conceding once that one stray sheep -

Lean, foul, and fleeceless in the thorns of sin -

Should die, unfolded, for the safe flock's sake."

- Sir Edwin Arnold.
