Excerpt from Jesus' Principles of Living Jesus worked and taught with these ends ever in View. He aimed to do a practical work. The political and social conditions of the Roman world during the first Christian century were strikingly like those Of to-day. Humanity felt its unity and at the same time was dissatisfied with its inherited ideas and institutions. A yearning for social justice, for brother? Hood, and for spiritual satisfaction filled the hearts of men. In satisfying the longings Of his own day by laying down principles Of living that are universal, Jesus met in a unique way the similar needs Of the present age. His teachings are SO many-sided that no one interpreter can do them full justice. The aim in this volume has been to interpret the teachings Of Jesus frankly, simply, and constructively in the light of modern conditions, and to make clear the trail that Jesus blazed by which each man may find the larger life in union and co-opera tion with the eternal Source Of all life. Above all, the endeavor throughout has been to formulate the vital questions that now confront the citizens Of every country and to help them In the light of Jesus' principles Of living to think them through and to reach a true and practical solution.
