HE Owes POWER TO THE ARM.
Sir Ashley Cooper, Abernetby. valen-
tine Mott, stood powerless before with
cred arm, but this doctor Of omnipotent
surgery, comes In and he sees the para
lytio arm useless. and lifeless at the
mans side, and Christ Gays TO him,
"Stretch forth thine hand" and he
stretched II forth whole as the other.
He was God.
Alimentary achievementsl He found
Q lad who had come out Of the wilder
ness with five 1oaves Of broad for spec
uiation. Perhaps the lad had paid 8
pennies for the Ave loaves and expected
TO sell them for 10 pennies, and 30 he
would double his money. Christ took
those loaves Of bread and performed O
miracle by which he fed 1000 furnishing
people, and warrant you the lad lost
nothing, for there were 10 baskets Of
fragments taken up, and If the boy had
five loaves at the start warrant you he
had at least 10 at the close.
The Saviour's mother goes into neigh
boris house to help get up wedding
party. By calculation she finds out that
the amount of wine is not sufficient for
the guests. She calls in Christ for help,
and Christ, not by the slow decay Of
fermentation, but by word, makes 1870
gallons Of pure wine.
Marine achievements He turns a
whole school Of fish into the net Of men
who were mourning over their poor luck,
until the boat is 80 full they have to hal
loo to other boats, and the other boats
come up. and they are laden to the wa
ter's edge with the game, so that the
sailors have to be cautious in going from
larboard to starboard lest they upset the
ship.
Then there comes squall down
through the mountain gorge, and Gen.
nesaret, with long locks Of white foam;
rises up to battle it, and the boat drops
into trough and ships sea. and the
loosened sails crack in the tornado, and
Christ rises from the back part Of the
boat and comes walking across the stag
gering ship until he comes to the prov,
and there he wipes the spray from his
brow and bushes the crying storm on the
knee Of his omnipotence. Who wrestled
down that euroclydon? Whose feet tram
pied the rough Galilee into smooth

LIFE OUT OF DEATH.
Let philosophers and anatomists go to
Westminster abbey and try to wake up
Queen Elizabeth or Henry VIII. No
human power ever wakened the dead.
There is dead girl in Capernaum. What
does Christ do? Alas, that she should
have died so young and when the world
was 80 fairl Only 10 years Of age. Feel
her cold brow and cold hands. Dead,
deadl The house is full Of weeping.
Christ comes, and he takes hold of the
hand of the dead girl, and instantly her
eyes open, her heart starts. The white
lily of death bushes into the rose of life
and health. She rushes into the arms Of
her rejoicing kindred. Who woke up
that death2 Who restored her to life' A

But there comes test which more
than anything else will show whether he
was God or man. You remember that
great passage which says, I'VE must all
appear before the Judgment seat Of
Christ" The earth will be stunned by q
blow that will make 1t stagger in nid-
heaven; the stars will circle like dry
leaves In an equinox; the earth will un-
roll the bodies, and the sky will unroll
the spirits, and soll and flesh will come
into incorruptible conjunction. Day of
