ackground to <strong>the</strong> picture <strong>of</strong> this narrative.<br />

To take ano<strong>the</strong>r view <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> varying lights on that<br />

picture: <strong>Jesus</strong> weary <strong>and</strong> thirsty by Jacob's Well,<br />

<strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> water <strong>of</strong> life which was to spring from, <strong>and</strong><br />

by that Well, with its unfailing supply <strong>and</strong> its<br />

unending refreshment! <strong>The</strong> spiritual in aU this<br />

bears deepest symbolic analogy to <strong>the</strong> outward—<br />

^yet with such contrasts also, as <strong>the</strong> woman giving<br />

to Christ <strong>the</strong> one. He to her <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r; she<br />

unconsciously beginning to learn. He uigatendingly<br />

(for He had not even entered 7 Sychar) beginning<br />

to teach, <strong>and</strong> that, what He could not yet teach in<br />

Juda^ scarcely even to His own disciples; <strong>the</strong>n <strong>the</strong><br />

complete change in <strong>the</strong> woman, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

misapprehension * <strong>and</strong> non-reception ^ <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> •st<br />

Jote disciples—<strong>and</strong> over it all <strong>the</strong> weary form <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> Man <strong>Jesus</strong>, opening as <strong>the</strong> Divine Christ <strong>the</strong><br />

well <strong>of</strong> everlasting life, <strong>the</strong> Gk)d-Man satUtfisd<br />

with <strong>the</strong> meat <strong>of</strong> doing <strong>the</strong> Will, <strong>and</strong> finishing <strong>the</strong><br />

Work, <strong>of</strong> Him that sent Wrn : such are some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

thoughts suggested by <strong>the</strong> scene.
