This, like all the miracles, was not

] he modern works wrought by
our Savior wOul 1 have been seals to
HIscoln mission "a the Messiah if there
had been many exhibitions of Divine
power and had held forth no truth or
taugpt no lessons, But they were n
inetrmCntW. ln,tho c rorks OF power
and mercy wrought in solitary cases
Such rs the healing of the blind man

Qaralytic. Ilo taught tnat it was His
power and that He had the power t.
give ght to the spiritually bliud aud
strength to the morally helpless And

prophecy and premonition of the
benefits TO flow from the Gospel in
the way of r'l'iving the temporal
distress OF the masses of mankind.
