How entrancing is the lesson to this seeking sol- dier from beyond the Adriatic ! Then does the Christ add another word more surprising than the rest. To men who are his sheep he makes a promise that compasses the furthest limit of the eternities. Of such he says : ''Unto those who fol- low^ me I w^ill give the Life of the Ages. Beyond the tomb they are to live on forever- more.'' Nor to the Jews alone, amid the maze of those Corin- thian columns, does the com- ing Shepherd speak. The listening... Roman soldier, w^earing the armor of the empire on the Tiber, comes within the circle of his promise. Into the face of Quintus he looks and benignly says : ''There are other sheep not of the Jewish pasture, to whom I shall give this unend- ing life. I covet your great empire as my own. O soldier 25 of the Caesars, follow after me ! Back to tke camp on Scopus tne soldier ^oes, moved to his deepest soul. Impossible it seems to longer worship the Roman gods. When he has described to Aulus the Feast of Dedication, he repeats the words he has heard in the Temple cloister, and says m deepest seriousness : ^'Most unearthly is the Man on whom I have looked to-day.
