The Lame Man Leapins.
(Acts iii:1-12.))

NAClS 1-1Z.)J
The sacred poet is right, for prayer
is the souls sincere desire, uttered on
unexpressed;" and SO, with every
Christian, the time OF prayer may be
at any moment; yes. even when he is
in the midst OF the activities of every
day life. The Saviour himself said that
the time would come when true Chris
tians would worship Him In spirit and
in truth and not in any special tenn
pie or place; and so. they that pray
to Him in spirit and in truth will do
so, not in any special temple or at any
stated time of the day, but whenever
and wherever Gods spirit fills their
minds and hearts with u consuming
desire to know His will and to fol-
low 1t in dealing with humanity in
all the relations of life.
1t is great to know, to feel, that, as
we walk through life daily, our best
and deepest desires to do right, to do
good. are inspired by God and that He
must furnish us the opportunity to
realize, to work out these desires.
wonder II Peter and John realized that
ere they reached the temple. their de-
sire. their prayer to know His will and
to understand their duty concerning It,
was answered in the opportunity to
heal the lame man at the gate! On,
there is a sublime beauty about every
door OF opportunity which God opens
for us, by which We may enter into a
glorious worship of Him, by minister
ing to the needs of SHINING and suf-
fering humanity. 1t is not always gold
and silver that the lame beggars de-
sire most, for believe that if we could
look down into the sad hearts of these
unfortunate ones, we should often
find that they have a very sincere de-
sire to be healed of their infirmities
so that they. too. might realize some
of those ambitions which fill the minds
and hearts of true men and women
the world over. 1t is not the silver and
the gold of others that they desire so
much; 1t 10 the opportunity to make It
for themselves and to realize some
thing OF that preciousness which the
substance of q diligent man brings to
him
True II is. that the lame man of our
lesson asked an aims of Peter and
John; still. the poor fellow had, per-
haps, never dreamed of being healed
so that he could make the money he
was begging for; however. his willing
ness to be healed instead of waiting
for aims that might be given to him
by those worshippers coming after
Peter and John. indicates strongly that
he wished the opportunity of making
his own living. However. lest some
reader might think the lame man sim
ply did what the apostles commanded
him to do and with no strong desire
on his part to be healed nor any spe-
cial faith in their ability to heal him.
let me call attention to the very great
rejoicing on the part of the healtd man

as we'll as to the appreciativs manner
in which he held" Peter and John
while the muititudes were filled with
wonder and amazement at that which
had happened unto him"
1t is difficult TO understand where
and when the Christian church or
Christian religion lost this power to
heal the lame. However. it Is a fact
that orthodox Christianity seems 10
accept scarcely at all that the min
istry or the most spiritually minded
members of the church, have the power
or even Scriptural authority to heal
the sick and the lame It Is strange
how orthodox Christianity has lost
faith in the power of the Spirit to heal
and has turned the work almost en-
tirely over to scientific men who. in
many instances II not in the large ma
jority Of instances, have little faith in
the Spirit or in His willingness to heal
the sick or especially to heal those in
need of surgical treatment except by
the accepted methods.
Without discussing the matter, we
are obliged, as Christians, to be inter-
ested in the correct answer to the
question, by whose authority has or
thodox Christianity denied to the poor
the healing power of the Spirit which
power was believed in and most eff
fectively used by the early teachers
preachers and followers of the Gospel
OF Jesus Christ, the Son Of God7 Or
thodoxy must sooner or later face the
charge OF partial infidelity or lack OF
faith in the healing power of the Spirit
of God among men. and unless ortho-
dox Christianity takes a more decided
stand in favor of the healing power OF
the Spirit of Christ, orthodoxy will
necessarily force an enormous inter-
est in the growth of those sects Or
CARNATIONS and 'Isms" that dare take
the Savior at His word and heal the
sick through the power and presence of
His Spirit manifested in His most con-
secrated followers. The Methodist
church is an expression of the de-
mand for a more spiritual life; so the
Methodist church especially, sooner or
later, must meet the growing demand
for more faith in the power OF the
Spirit OF God given unto the healing
of the sick.
But one lesson more. There are
thousands and thousands OF poor UNI
fortunates who have been made to be-
lieve that from their birth they have
been dull, mentally weak or lame, and
hence unequal to life's duties and the
rewards that come with successful eff
fort. These do not need our silver and
gold; but they need to know that God
gives them the mental and physical
strength such as their duties and days
may demand. In the name OF the
Master. let us quicken their faith in
Him and in His power to move them
to successfully do all things whatso-
ever their Father in heaven would
