(THE END.) (Convricht 1928} e il | SPEAKER CLASSES JESUS AS “MAN OF THE PEOPLE” Reared in an atmosphere of business and political activity and in an environ- ment of great natural beauty, Jesus was a “man of the people” whose language showed clearly the influence of early environment, it was declared yesterday afternoon by Dr. John O. Knott, Holy Land authority, in the.last of a series of lectures at the Y. M. C. A. on “The Blank Pages of Our Bible.” Dr. Knott contrasted the colorful lan- wuage of Christ with the severe words of John the Baptist, who came from the land of the Dead Sea. At the request of the Y. M. C. A. Dr. Knott has agreed to give a new se- ries of seven talks on “The Setting and Psychology of the International Sunday School Lessons,” beginning next Sun- day afternoon at 4 o'clock. The course of lectures just ended was more largely attended than any given by the Y. M. C. A in the last 10 years, it was an- nounced vesterday.
