ere quite consistent here. To deny will of nature is an
elementary mistake in psychology. Only a tyro in introspection will
ascribe will directly to personality. A one-willed two-natured
personality is little short of a psychological monstrosity. An attempt
to rally Christendom round such a figure was bound to fail. The only
lasting result of the emperor's activity was the formation of a new
sect, the Maronites.

THE DUALITY OF CHRIST'S EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCE

We come now to the third element in the human spirit. It is only in
modern psychology that feeling has secured recognition as a distinct
constituent of man's nature; so it is not surprising that the question
as to its position in the incarnate Christ was not raised in former
days. Now, however, the psychology of feeling has come into its own,
and it has become important to consider whether in this particular,
too, Christ shared our human experience. Here, again, the argument for
maintaining the duality of Christ's emotional experience is twofold.
It follows, on the one hand, from the duality of the other parts of His
nature; and, on the other hand, it is proved by the facts of His life
as recorded in the gospels.

Human nature involves feeling, and two natures involve two universes of
feeling. Divine personality cannot be conceived as devoid of feeling.
With men feeling lies in the depths of being; it is the dynamic of
life. Feeling is the inner reflex of acts of thought and will. It
invariably accompanies cognition and volition. If thought and will be
attributed to the supreme being, the attribute of feeling cannot be
left out. When the God in Christ acted, divine feeling accompanied the
act.

This surmise is proved correct on reference to the records of His life.
We find there two distinct emotional zones. Christ has all the
blameless feelings natural to man. There are in Him the feelings
accompanying sensation; physical pleasure and pain, hunger, thirst,
weariness, and, in addition, the higher grades of feeling, aesthetic,
sympathetic, and ethical. He experienced wonder, surprise, righteous
anger, the sublime, joy and love. A life rich in emotion was the life
of the Man Christ Jesus. When, however, we look more closely into His
experience, we catch glimpses of feeling such as no man could know. We
see there transcendent passion, great sorrow, great joy, so great that
they would break a human heart. We may instance the deep emotion
