gospel this nameless woman is the
most touching, and her attitude
toward Jesus, his treatment Of her, and
the gracious results serve as encour-
agement to anyone who doubts his fit
ness for approach to Christ or his wor-
thiness to receive anything from
Christ
1t is the story of miracle by the
way Jesus had been requested by
Jairus to come to his house and heal
his daughter. As he was going on his
way and much people followed him
and thronged him, a certain woman,
seriously Ill for twelve years, suffering
many things of many physicians. and
growing worse instead of better, came
In the crowd about Jesus and touched
the hem Of his garment She was a
great sufferer from her disease and
disappointment, and probably now she
was In despair. To her Jesus may
have been nothing more than a great
doctor who had healed many people
and of whose fame she had heard. Her
great need made her forget the i'm
modesty of her act, the uncleanness
OF her presence, the improbability Of
attention, and drives her to Jesus. Her
superstition was not unmixed with
faith, For she said, If 1 mag touch
but his clothes shall be whole"
Recognition.
Jesus noticed her touch; And Jesus
Immediately knowing in himself that
virtue had gone out Of him, turned
him about In the press, and said, Who
touched my clothes?" He knows the
slightest movement of the soul toward
himself, he feels the burdens we bear,
for he Is touched with a feeling of our
infirmities. Like the father In Luke
Is he goes out to meet the returning
wanderer. What an encouragement 1t
Is to the sinner to realize this ap-
Droachableness and responsiveness of
the great Savior. Sometimes we are
In doubt about the character and love
OF God, but every revelation of the ten
derness, compassion and thoughtful
ness Of Jesus Is also a revelation of
the fact that God is like him. He
knows our reaching out after him; let
us be sure of that, II waited patiently
for the Lord, and he inclined unto me
and heard my cry" Get close to Jesus
In love and faith, and touch him. His
heart and love and power will respond.
'"The healing Of his seamless dress
Is by our beds Of pain;
We touch him in llfe's throng and press
And we are whole again"
Jesus rewards the woman, though
she had mistaken ideas about his
character and his work; but one thing
she knew-she was sick and there was
a healer; she touched him and that
brought blessing and benediction. Je-
sus did not stop to raise questions as
to her character or criticise her for
her conduct. He responded to the
weak faith and the earnest desire of
the woman, "And said unto her,
Daughter, thy faith hath made thee
