Not Mere Fancles. Religious fancies cannot have turned down those frightened Galilean fishermen Into the saviours of Rome and the makers of modern Europe. Something happened. They went about tell- ing the world what had happen- ed, "Christ is risen." Gud has intervened. He has broken into time: The aupreme miracle has happened. God has tabernacled with men in Jesus Christ. We know he was God because he rose again from the dead and showed himself to us.
"Now padre," you say, "let mna off that. I love the Cross and the sermor on the Mount, and it's worth coming to church to sing once more 'Jesus Christ is risen to-day but don't press me any further."
