Originality in Religion
A. G. Brown. Matthew 26:6-13 Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper,… The Church wants a number of original workers — those who will not merely run in the rut that is already made in the road, but strike out for themselves some new ways of honouring Christ. It has been well remarked that when the stream is low it runs along the channel that is already made; but let there be a downfall of rain, let the river only rise, and it fills up all the channels, and then the banks, not able to restrain the stream, will overflow and run far and wide. The new wine of a passionate love to Christ can never be contained in old bottles. (A. G. Brown.)
