Another Peculiar Healing.

Arriving 1t Bethsaida q blind man
was brought TO Him. Jesus took him
by the hand and led him out beyond the
village. He spat upon his eyes and
put His hands upon him and asked if
he saw ANYTHING. He said that he
saw something like trees moving about.
Again Jesus pat His hands upon his
eyes, and he saw clearly The object
in employing this method is not clear
to US. but probably the man lacked
faith and Jesus was gradually devel-
oping it ia him. Apparently the Lord
required the man to exercise his power
of will and to strive to see things.

Word that is able to make us wise

tie SAYS, is sufficient that the man OF
God may be thoroughly furnished unto

Let US, IS Christians of all denomi-

"Perceive We Not YETI"
The disciples VERY .stupidly missed
the point OF Jesus parabolic statement
about the leaven of the Pharisees.
They ut once thought of literal leaven

He reminded them of the miracle of

four thousand with seven leaves. and
asked them how many basketfuls of
