Excerpt from The Re-Appearing (IL Est Ressuscit ): A Vision of Christ in Paris There is significance in the fact that Paris is selected as the scene of His re turn. When He came to the East He appeared in Palestine, the centre of re ligion; when He comes to the West He appears in Paris, the centre of culture. Religion has always been the culture of the Orient, whereas culture has usurped the functions of religion in the modern Occident. The purpose of Christ's re-appearing is to make an emphasized appeal to the Nicodemuses of the world - the men whose spiritual imagination is darkened by overmuch learning and whose wills are hesitant through impartiality. The common people, the women and the chil dren, hear Christ gladly as they have done in every age. He does not concern Him self with them ou His second coming.
