They are not great while they are alive ; that is, we do not acku owl- edge that they are. This is probably an exhibition of the wilfulness of human nature. While men are living they are our competi- tors, or their theories of politics and religion are in competition with our theories, and we are not fine enough and large enough in our sympathies and judgments to be fair and do them justice. 237 UNCROWNED KINGS Sucli was the case with Jesus. Look back upon his life, his words, his surroundings,... and his commanding influence. It is easy for us now to appreciate something of his greatness, but to the carping, critical Pharisee who saw in him an enemy of conventional religion, he was only a fanatical leader of a new sect, not deserving to be canonized, but deserving of death ; and so full of contempt were they for his assuming to be a king, that they could write upon the cross above his head, with derision, the superscription, " This is the King of the Jews. " Whoever will begin with those scenes in the life of Christ, commemorative of Palm Sunday, and study on to the conclusion of his life upon the cross, will see how humble, how outwardly weak and unkingly were the closing days in the life of the Master, yet we know that this superscription, ''This is the King of the Jews, " spoken in derision, was true in the fullest and richest sense of the word.
