Synopsis

Excerpt from The Message of Thomas À Kempis

We find, if we search the Apostolic writings, that whilst they sought to follow the Example, they also sought renewal of the whole inner life; first His Presence, then that Presence subduing and colouring all within. The earliest Chris tians felt the in?uence of Jesus upon their lives, ?owing into them as they contemplated His life and words. His Example shed its radiance upon them as it has done upon all men who have known anything of Him. He has been, as Lecky says, an enduring principle of regen cration. Blessed in?uence of one true loving soul on another! Not calculable by algebra, not deducible by logic, but mysterious, effectual, mighty as the hidden process by which the tiny seed is quickened and bursts forth into tall stem and broad leaf and glowing tasselled For every life has beneficent in?uences according to the measure of its goodness. Every life, as Aniiel in his journal says, is a profession of faith, and exercises an inevitable and silent propaganda.1'
