As Brown- ing said, "IIs lived for himself, Iso thought for himself, for himself end none beside, just as if Jesus had nev- er lived and as if be lied never died," In the forte of a very vivid dream, whish Dickens de'cribes as a ghost, the miser' is conducted over the scenes of his boyhood when the nobler ideals of youth were cherished, He is then. rapidly conveyed to other nomas where 0hristmas is enjoyed, and then shown the future where others discuss the upending of the money he has sc carefully hoarded. Just in time, he realizes it is all a dream and there is yet thee to save hie soul, Or cattily, all this ie fiction, but the 'rambles et Jesus are all fiction, and, 'without a parable he spake not unto them," Yet they have tremendous reality in 1151n4an life., Anyone can point to the prodigal son in many a home, and it would not be dif.Ueltlt to find Sorooge in. any community, In strong con- trast, the Minister will tell the story of David Livingstone stone on Sunday even - in noxi n g and he will it n ; g ,I,atratto the story by meads of several elides up to, and including the sceuee where ise ie overpnwered by it great lion.
