Coue, the teaching of
auto-suggestion?--that teaching which makes us say at last that "an
immense hope is dawning on the world."
And, in sober truth, we may indeed believe that this immense hope is
dawning on the world; the hope that mankind may recognise in Jesus, Who
called Himself the Light of the World, the world's great Teacher of
Reality.
Here we approach that unifying principle which was the object of our
quest in setting out to explore the chaos of opinion in the modern
Church.
Is it not possible that the Church might see the trivial unimportance of
all those matters which at present dismember her, if she saw the supreme
importance of Christ as a Teacher? Might she not come to behold a glory
in that Teaching greater even than that which she has so heroically but
so unavailingly endeavoured to make the world behold in the crucified
Sacrifice and Propitiation for its sins?
Is there not here the opportunity of an evangel, the dawning of an
immense hope on the world?
But let the Church ask herself, before she abandons her labour of
expounding doctrines concerning the Person of Christ, whether she is
quite clear as to the teaching of Jesus. "Not every one that saith unto
Me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the Kingdom of Heaven; but he that
doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven."
Read St. Mark, the earliest, the least corrupted, of the narratives.
