A bitter fountain comes rushing down the mountain side, and
drinking thereof, the people of the city are poisoned. Along
comes a man who says: “I will build a lime factory just above
the city, and pour a stream of lime-water into the bitter
fountain.” Jesus’ method was simpler. Go higher up, into the
mountain of God, and strike the rock, that sweet waters may gush
forth, to flow through the land, carrying health and happiness
to all that stand upon the banks of this river of water of
life. Jesus reformed institutions by reforming human nature.
He was a fundamental thinker. He dealt with causes.--N. D.
