FOUR men who loved Christ with a love stronger than death wrote his life, but left no hint of his height, complexion, features, or any period that could help the mind to a personal image. Others wrote long epistles, of which he was the Alpha and Omega; but his form was as much kept secret as the body of Moses, hidden by the Almighty in an undiscovered grave. The Christian tombs and relics of the first centuries show no attempt to make an image of Christ. Too deep a sense of the Divine rested upon the Church to permit any attempt to print the human as it appeared in him.
