THOSE who saw the reproduction of the Christ Picture in the January issue, to which was given the title, “I ALONE AM,” will be interested in learning the true meaning and purpose of the picture as conceived by the artist, and that the Art Pictures for framing will be much finer than the cut from which the one in the Magazine and the Christmas Cards were printed.

In the Art Pictures the expression around the eyes and mouth will be much clearer, the face will appear stronger, more loving and more all-knowing, and all the fine points of the original will stand out with striking effect.

It can easily be seen that this is not the picture of the Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified Saviour, that the world knows and remembers, whose trials and suffering have so often been portrayed by innumerable artists. But it is our artist’s concept of Jesus Christ, the Perfect Man—the Image and Likeness of God—the True Self of every man.

In other words, deep within every man is this Beautiful, All-Wise, All-Loving, All-Powerful, Perfect One, Whom the world knows not. But the souls of all Lovers of Christ know Him as I AM, the Beloved One, the Christ, Who is the Light that lighteth them and is the Source of all that they are.

Now think of these words, “I ALONE AM,” when you look at this picture of Him, and you will understand their great significance.
