Even Mr. Voysey admits the constraining power of the Cross:
'That is still the noblest, most sublime picture in the whole Bible,
where the Christ is hanging on the Cross, and the tears and blood flow
trickling down, and the last words heard from His lips are "Father,
forgive them, for they know not what they do." That love and pity will
for ever endure as the type and symbol of what is most Divine in the
heart of man. Thank God! it has been repeated and repeated in the
lives and deaths of millions besides the Christ of Calvary. But
wherever found it still claims the admiration, and wins the homage of
every human heart, and is the crowning glory of the human race.--C.
VOYSEY, _Religion for All Mankind_, p. 105.
