What does the following verse
mean: when He had thus spoken.
He spat on the ground and made clay

| John, iX.6)?
Answer-There is only one other in
stance in the New Testament when
Jesus is reported to have used spittle
to cure n man of dumbness.
Many people in the days of Jesus
believed that saliva had medicinal
value; others regarded it as a medium
to convey virtue from the healer
to the patient. Tacitus relates how a
blind man in Alexandria was healed
by the spittle of Vespasian the En-
peror.
Jesus may have resorted to this
method to induce in the blind man a
spirit of cooperation and confidence,
indispensable essentials in the work
ing of a cure.
Some see a subtle reference in the
moistened clay to Genesis, ii. Jesus.

% years never has given another
man a thought, what to do when her
husband tells her he can't forget
the woman whom he could have mar
ried before he ever knew her. He sits
and laments that he did not marry her
and says he must see the other woman n
and talk to her.
Answer-It would seem that since
this rather speedy Lothario has been
able to get along without his former
| love for 20 years he ought to be able
to manage without her for the brief
balance of his poor mortal life.
Whatever may be the platonic
friendship between him and her, it IS
weakness and folly in their pro-
| nounced forms for him to desert a
faithful wife for faded sweetheart.
! make no comment on the latter
lady except that If she encourages his
attentions she exhibits the revolving
selfishness of which some women are
expert practitioners.
However, let my questioner be of
good cheer. AS she evidently desires
to retain her husbands somewhat
shopworn affections, she should recall
that competition is the life of trade.
Let her accept the challenge of her
former rival and again drive her to
cover.
The wife should ask herself what
it was which in 1.-The dear dead days
beyond recall" fascinated her tickle
spouse.
Then she can turn on the full
stream of her feminine charms and
capture his wandering heart once
more.
Meanwhile, entertain him with a
mixed diet of excellent food, your

logic contradicts things as they actual

So why indulge speculations of the
