'It is not for nothing that the central rite of Christ's religion is not a fast but a feast,
as if to say that the one indispensable requirement for obtaining a portion in Him is an appetite, some hunger--
is to be without what we must have and He can give.

--A. J. Gossip, The Galilean Accent, 1926
