At the time this was typed in 02/04/2000, there were images showing Millet's "The Angelus" available on the internet at the following sites: http://www.tam.itesm.mx/~jdorante/art/realismo/1205.jpg http://www.udayton.edu/mary/gallery/artists/angelus.html http://www.tigtail.org/TVM/X2/a.NeoClassic/millet_angelus.1859.jpg http://www.i-a-s.de/IAS/Bilder/MILLET/Angelus.htm While this list is not exhaustive (and should include the Louvre--where the painting is hung--but I couldn't find it there) there should be at least one of these active at the time of the reading. Addresses by Henry Drummond Introductory. I was staying with a party of friends in a country house during my visit to England in 1884. On Sunday evening as we sat around the fire, they asked me to read and expound some portion of Scripture. Being tired after the services of the day, I told them to ask Henry Drummond, who was one of the party. After some urging he drew a small Testament from his hip pocket, opened it at the 13th chapter of I Corinthians, and began to speak on the subject of Love. It seemed to me that I had never heard anything so beautiful, and I determined not to rest until I brought Henry Drummond to Northfield to deliver that address. Since then I have requested the principals of schools to have it read before the students every year. The one great need in our Christian life is love, more love to God and to each other. Would that we could all move into that Love chapter, and live there. This volume contains, in addition to the address on Love, some other addresses which I trust will bring help and blessing to many.

You have life before you. Once only you can live it. What is the noblest object of desire, the supreme gift to covet? We have been accustomed to be told that the greatest thing in the religious world is Faith. That great word has been the key-note for centuries of the popular religion; and we have easily learned to look upon it as the greatest thing in the world. Well, we are wrong. If we have been told that, we may miss the mark. In the 13th chapter of I Corinthians, Paul takes us to Christianity at its source; and there we see, "the greatest of these is love."
