Companions of the Way (Evening)The place whereon thou standest is Holy ground.
HOW often in contemplating Christianity as a whole, especially as it appears in the central fact of its great sacrifice, "A God dying upon a cross," I have felt it to be the world's chief wonder, one of which my eyes could never weary, nor my spirit rightly fathom! When I have turned aside to behold that strange sight . . . I have felt that to understand the Passion one must be one's self, as it were, God infinite, and able to comprehend the love and the agony of an infinite nature. This sight, of all I look upon, alone has power to arrest my heart. It seems foreign to the order in which I am at present moving, yet it is friendly, familiar to some inner instinct, as if it were native to a kingdom in which I had once moved.
