A correction was made in the May 4, 1899 Sentinel: "The lecture of Mr. Edward A. Kimball, C.S.D., which was published in the May Journal, was delivered March 1, 1899, not March 1, 1889."
I ask you for the moment to let your thoughts traverse a long stretch of centuries and rest on one of the most dramatic scenes of all history.
In the midst of this scene is a man in bonds and at bay. Having actually communed with God, having felt the very touch of a divine afflatus, this man, taught and impelled by infinite wisdom, stood forth an avowed disciple of the Christ which heals and redeems. His sturdy manhood had been chastened and ennobled by divine revelation, by discipline and experience, and by the descent of the holy Spirit. In the midst of a besotted generation his moral, ethical, and spiritual culture had exalted him so far above the countless millions of the earth that he stood there an instance of sublime isolation, almost alone on the earth, with hardly one solitary companion of all the race who had touched the supreme height of his own ascended thought.
