Excerpt from In Sunday's Tent
Compassion is, I take it, of the very essence of the religion of Jesus, the compassion of fellowship, not that of a pitying charity. It is this that constitutes its regenerative force, the coming to earth, not of God, but of the God-man. So deeply is the religious feeeling rooted in our human limitations and our human needs that it can not reach its best expression apart from a warm flowering out of human sympathy; At its heart there glows an impulse to help the poor, the unfor tunate, the fallen, to assume a generous responsibility, and so to reach the humanly divine. This is the justi fication for the statement of Jesus that joy is in hea ven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repen tance. It was in this spirit that he declared himself a friend of publicans and sinners.
