Excerpt from Christian Freedom: An Address Delivered in the Old South Church, Boston, Massachusetts, at the Morning Service, February 4, 1917 Jesus was persecuted by the State and finally he was put to death by the State; but he founded a kingdom of truth in freedom and a kingdom of freedom in truth. He had perfect confidence in the truth in the hands of freedom, and of freedom as the child of truth. As I have said, his greatest apostle, free-born, a citizen of the Roman Empire as he was, perhaps because he was free-born, seized upon the great central gift and promise of his Master to mankind of immediate interior freedom and of ultimate external freedom. That double freedom was Paul's gospel to the Empire. There is an epic in the life of this monumental man who had so long and in vain sought freedom from a world of evil superstitions and false notions about God and about himself. The great emancipa tion came to him when he became a disciple of Jesus; then he stepped forth as a man made free within and made for freedom in a free world.
