Excerpt from The Hungry Christ, and Other Sermons Preached in Walnut Hills Methodist Episcopal Church, Cincinnati I. And, first, let as look at a preliminary feature of the story - the timeliness of the assailment; for that is what made it of tremendous force. Occur ring at the outset of the Master's career, it marked the opening of His public life, and came at the time when His policy had to be determined upon, His principles had to be inclicated, His plans had to be shaped. His public life was to be accompanied throughout by assailment, allurements, enticements such as are thrown in the way of every worker but now at the very inception of His enterprise there was thrust upon Him a series of typical temptations which had a direct bearing upon the work to be un dertak'en.

Jesse Bowman Young
Edit ProfileEducation
A pale, delicate-looking boy, fond of books and averse to outdoor activities, Young was sent to Dickinson Seminary, Williamsport, Pennsylvania, to prepare for college. His education was interrupted by the Civil War. After the war he returned to Dickinson Seminary, where he was graduated in 1866; two years later he received the degree of A. B. from Dickinson College.
Career
The outbreak of the Civil War awakened soldierly inclinations in Young, however, and though restrained by his mother from enlisting until December 1861, he then joined the 4th Illinois Cavalry, in which his uncle, Samuel M. Bowman, was a major. At that time Jesse was in his eighteenth year. In 1862 he joined the 84th Pennsylvania Volunteers, of which his uncle had been made colonel, remaining with it until he was mustered out, December 4, 1864, and rising to the rank of captain. He was present at a number of important engagements, including the battle of Gettysburg. In later years he recorded his experiences in What a Boy Saw in the Army (1894), a well written book designed especially for young people and illustrated with pen drawings by Thomas Francis Beard. After the war Young joined the Central Pennsylvania Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, was ordained deacon in 1870, and elder in 1872. He was pastor of churches in Pennsylvania until 1888, in which year he transferred to the St. Louis Conference and was appointed to the Grand Avenue Church, Kansas City, Montana, of which he was in charge until 1892. By this time he had become well known in the Church, not only as an effective preacher and Sunday School worker, but also as a writer, and the General Conference of that year elected him editor of the Central Christian Advocate, St. Louis. In this capacity he served until 1900. Subsequently, he held pastorates at the Walnut Hills Church, Cincinnati (1900-1908), at Snyder Memorial Church, Jacksonville, Florida (1908-1912), and at Bluffton, Indiana (1912-1913). Young died of nephritis in Wesley Hospital, Chicago, survived by his wife and five children. A facile writer, Young contributed frequently to religious periodicals and wrote several books in addition to that which recounts his war experiences. Among them were Days and Nights on the Sea (1888), Helps for the Quiet Hour (1900), Our Lord and Master (1903), The Hungry Christ and Other Sermons (1904), and Today: An Age of Opportunity (1909). His most ambitious literary undertaking, perhaps, was The Battle of Gettysburg (1913), an extensive treatment of that engagement, illustrated by maps and pictures, which his connection with the battle, his long residence near the scene of the conflict, and much investigation particularly fitted him to make.
