"And when Ho had looked round on them with Have we got the right ides of Jesus Christ to-day! We ought to have it by now after all the writing and thinking and talking about Him these 2,000 yeats. But the things that we ought to have are 40, painfully different from the things that we actually have—there are so many things that we ought to have and have not, that possibly it may not be without use to face the question with which we started: "Have we got the right idea Jesus Christ to-day?"
