Wher Johu was iu prison he sent two of his disciples to Christ ,o asl Him If He was the one that was to come, or should they look for another. Jesus told them to g, and tell John "The blind receive their sight, the lame walk, tho lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them" We have at one time read a little book entitled, "Iu His Steps, Or What Would Jesus Do?N We think It would be good for some of the clerical brethren to read it also. However, we will do tue best we can. We may go to the devil and the dogs without preacher, but we just can't help it. Did Christ or His disciples get big fat salary for their preaching? Some of you preach CTS please answer this question
