"I refer to the magnificent comprehensiveness of St. Paul's closing expression in the text, "that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow." This is to be the complete proof of his supremacy; all souls will confess it at last. How glorious seems the hope for man, for every man, in the light of that cross from which even murderers were forgiven! That Hallelujah Chorus which a human genius conceived, is it not to be swept upward yet from a choir which excludes no creature born of God's spirit for a life of good? Are the Christmas hopes and the Christmas prophecies to be cheated of their grandest fulfilment? Is any soul to be shut out forever from the adoration of Jesus and the love of God?"
