son of David!
| Do all men need to cry for mercy, and
why?
Would Jesus have healed these blind
men if they did not have faith that ne
could do so?
What part does faith play in the TEN

Verses 80. 3l.-Why did Jesus forbid
them from telling of this miracle?
Did they do right to tell it,seeing
Jesus had requested them not to DO so !?

| The Power of Faith. Matt. 8: 1884.
Golden Text. All things are possible
to him that believeth. Mark 9: %.
Would it be possible or not, for man
who is not follower of Jesus to have
such a faith as this.
What is faith caused by. or based
upon? Is it matter Of evidence, or a
result of deep reasoning, or is it di-
vine importation possible only to those
who are spiritual, or what? (This
question must be answered in writing
by members of the club.)
Verse l9-Did Jesus, while in the
flesh, ever refuse any request for help,
and how is he today in that particular
Give your views as to whether it il
possible for person to be true Chris
tian, who is not willing to help those in
need as Jesus was?
Verses 20. 2l-How do you harmonic
with the goodness of God the fact that
there are so many with incurable dis
eases, in great pain all the time, dying
living death, much like this poor
woman!
If all such sufferers would come to
Jesus now, in faith. like this poor wo-
man did, would it be His will to always
cure them, as he did then?
1T was noble faith that this woman
had in believing she would be cured by
touching His garment, but is there rea-
son to believe that, she could have
been cured without touching Him at
all?
Was it the touch that cured her, or
the conscious consent and power of
Jesus?
Verse 22-Jesus knows and sees all
who come to Him for help, and always
welcomes and helps each one who
comes, why then do so many hesitate,
or neglect to come to Him!
Verses 23,24-It appears it was a
| custom to play mournful music when
death entered a home and for the
| friends to make a great lamentation.
