Jesus of Nazareth
Without Money and Arms
Conquered More Millions Than
Alexander, Caesar, Mohammed, and Napoleon;
Without Science and Learning,
He Shed More Light on Things Human and Divine
Than All Philosophers and Scholars Combined;
Without the Eloquence of Schools,
He Spoke such Words of Life as
Were Never Spoken Before or Since,
And Produced Effects Which Lie Beyond
The Reach of Orator or Poet;
Without Writing a Single Line,
He Set More Pens in Motion,
And Furnished Themes for More Sermons,
Orations, Discussions, Learned Volumes,
Works of Art, and Songs of Praise
Than the Whole Army of Great Men
Of Ancient and Modern Times.
