Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies of the Portrait of Christ, Vol. 2 In these pages I have endeavoured to trace the spiritual development, not of the life, but Jesus exhibited in the Gospel narrative. Necessarily, therefore, I have fixed my attention not on the Divine or miraculous, but on the human, side of Christ. There can be no development in miracles; it is as wonderful to be an inch above nature as to be a mile. Being a study of development, the chapters, though very short, are rigidly connected and cannot be read in isolation. The book is not an abstract essay with foot notes and references; it is semi-devotional; each chapter ends either with an invocation or a prayer. Having completed the first part of the studies I offer it by way of instalment and by way of experiment. Should it meet with general sympathy I should like to pursue the narrative to its close.
