Seite 41 - I cherish the profoundest reverence for the character of Jesus, and the lofty ideal of moral truth which he taught and lived ; and it is to impress his moral excellence on my countrymen, as well as the European community in India, — unbiassed by sectarian bigotry or the spirit of theological wrangling, — that I appear before you this evening.
