u HIM and make good connection,
transform a devil into an angel and
conquer every evil in us. Go and sin
no mOre!" was the injunction Christ
gave to many who We're healed
through Him. Sin is the cause of sick
ness, either in us or through Inherit
ance frCm ancestors, on both. and
only Ly overcoming sin and evil can
we reach perfec; harmony and finally
overcome death.
The mere laying on of hands and
! the praying without having back o.
him some stOred-up power that can
20 forth and act, will do no good. and
! the healer does not succeed, but every
/ true healer must have virtue. he must
have lived Il virtuous life, mus. have
great faith, and Il knowledge Of at
least the fundamental things that are
underlying the science Of healing.
Human beings are dead batteries
when they are cut off from Cod. and
those who are connected with God
possess life and can get as much az
they need depending upon their de-
gree of desire and fulfillment OF the
laws Of God and nature God is tho
great source of power, the sun of hui.
imanty, from whom flows all light,
love and strength and we must con
meet us with Him in order to live.
A miracle means simply a wonder,
a marvel. A fact is not wonder
when it is understood. The processes
by which wonders recorded in the Bi-
bic were accomplished, were unknown
to the masses, and hence they were
miracles The inventions and accom-
plishments of Edison, Tesla, Marconi
and others are miracles to those who
do not understand the processes en-.
plOyed. A knowledge of alchemy has
ever been the source of miracles re.
corded in the Bible. Today. the hand

miracles in the Bible have deeper
significance than appears in the text
Of the narratives.
Christ said that He was the seed"
Of the Kingdom to come and that He
would bring forth many, the first
fruit of the resurrection, IA 900 who
shall be like Him. who will be the
saviors on Mount Zion who will save
the world. Like the acorn through the
law of evolution holds within itself
the whole oak tree So Christ held
within Him the New Jerusalem
spirits. and when the seed was plant

humanity-Christ was seen no more
and the seed had to multiply and at
the harvest time at the end of the age
there will lie many like Him who

1t will take too much space for me
to enumerate the many wonderful
cases of healing that came under my
own observation, yes under my own
hands. even in my own family. My
own child, the oldest one. was deadly
sick, given up by three physicians as
beyond human power of saving; she
was healed and lives today. There
are many, many witnesses To this eff

1t is not right for one to ask to be
healed when he violates the laws upon
which good health depends and who
makes no effort to know these laws
and live according to them. We must
do our share well before we can ex-'
pect God to help us. One instance ]
will recite. Many years ago l was
called to family in my own ward
where was performing missionary
work and tiny baby was very sick.
Several brethren and layed on ON
hands and prayed for the child. The
child got well. Some time later | was
called again to the house being in
formed that the baby got worse. When
