between Christ and Jesus, which
Christian Science explains; for God
appointed the man Jesus to the office
of Christ Christ Jesus therefore was
the promised Messiah, or Mediator be-

Healing BY Faith.

For a long time professed Christians
fell into such idolatrous methods that
they utterly lost sight of the healing
power of Christ. All they beheld was
the visitation of evil, and they prayed
after the manner of the heather to
appease the wrath of their god. In
effect, they really became worshippers
of Satan, and that continued until a
young priest of the church started a
movement which made it possible for
people of every rank and station to
read the Bible in their own language.
This was the great reformer, Martin
Luther. AS a result of this Bible
study, the people began to gain more
correct view of God, and occasional in
stances of healing rewarded their
faith.
A very significant and important re-
suit of Luther's Bible study was the
| healing of his disciple, Melanchthon.
The man had lost consciousness, his
eyes were set, and the court physician
had pronounced him, beyond human
aid. When Luther saw his dearest
friend in that condition, he was Wis
IDLY frightened. Then, rousing him
self, he exclaimed: 20 God, how has
the devil injured this thy instrument
| There was the evidence of his Bible
study; for he refused to attribute
that sickness to God. Rather did hi
appeal to the Giver of all good t.
save his friend. To use his own words
l "wearied His ears with all His prom
ises of hearing prayers, which | could
repeat out Of Holy Writ; so that HI
could not but hear me, If ever wer,

grasping Melanchthon by the hand
Luther exclaimed, BE of good courage

Therefore give no place to the spiri
of sorrow, and be not thine own mul

Christmas is a season of Joy, OF
blithesome cheerfulness at the advent
of the Savior. To world sobered by
its Gethsemane and Calvary, Easter
brings q message of Faith and Hope,

Therein lies the message OF Easter:
the promise of Immortality beyond the
tomb.
Nor Is 1t q mere coincidence that
Easter falls at this season. Spring
is simply Natures way Of reiterating
the Easter message. Through the long
winter months the world Of Nature
has seemed asleep In death. Trees
bare, fields destitute, death appeared
to reign supreme.
