In answering VIII say, that
Christ c&m.' 10 Bctnsaida, and
they brought 70 him Il blind
man. and Christ opentd d the
eyes Of the bilud man, Cnrlet
laid his uands on him the second
time before his eyes were fully
opened. Now some preachers
say that the first touch was
convprslUr,' the second vas
"s3nctitira,iOn. We shall show
later on in our answer, that
Christ in opening the eyes Of
this blind man, had no reierence
to conversion, or sanctitication.
And in order to establish this
fact, we must first prove to the
readers mind that all that Christ
did or said was done in para
Dies. Therefore, please read.

the readers will see that Christ
did not intend, that the Israel
lies should know the object of
his mission here on earth until

Our readers will clearly un
