The Third Lesson: The Mystic Youth of Jesus.971
taught the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man. Among the
Hindus are found strange traditions of Jesoph or Josa, a young ascetic, who
passed through the Hind long since, denouncing the established laws of
caste, and consorting with the common people, who, as in Israel, “heard him
gladly.” Even in China are found similar tales of the young religious firebrand,
preaching ever the Brotherhood of Man—ever known as the Friend of the
Poor. On and on He went, sowing the seeds of human freedom and the
casting off of the yoke of ecclesiastical tyranny and formalism, which seeds
are springing unto growth even at this late day. Yea, the Spirit of His real
teachings are even now bearing fruit in the hearts of men, and though nearly
two thousand years have passed by the “soul” of His social teachings still
“goes marching on” round and round the world.
