MOSES

The conception of Moses which I have elaborated upon in the following chapters was suggested years ago by contrast with Michelangelo's statue of him, colossal in proportions, hewn in stone. I have tried, therefore, to show that Moses was a man like other men- with great qualities that needed to be developed and improved; with flaws that veined the pure marble of his character; sufficient grace that he learned to appropriate; and that he wrought and by becoming a channel through which the divine purpose was achieved.
