the sick. and they did recover" From
the time when Peter and John healed
the lame man at the beautiful gate of
the Temple straight through the
apostolic days and for hundreds of
years after. the sick were healed
through "the prayer of faith"
Clement. who lived during the clos
ing years of Paul's life and for the
years Immediately after, said: Men
neous, who lived 110. years after
Christ, said: Men healed the sick
by laying their hands on them"
Origen, who lived 200 years after
Christ, said: Men had marvellous
power by invoking the divine name
and that Of Jesus"
And there are even in our material.
istic doubling modern age innumer-
able instances Of direct and miracu-
lous healing through the power of the
divine Christ. Unhappily the truth
Of divine healing has been capitalized
by some charlatans for the exploita-
ton of the people and prostituted by
such mountebanks for their own en-
richment. 1t is also unhappily true
that number Of healing cults have
arisen which usually deny, in whole
or in part, the very fundamentals of
the Christian faith, even while they
claim to be standing upon other parts
Of revealed religion.
However, the abuse of good thing
should not lead to its abandonment,
but should in itself constitute q call
and challenge to battle down the
error, in order that truth may be
finally and fully triumphant. 1t is
only our carefully cultivated habit OF
doubling everything today which has
taken from multitudes of modern
Christians and churches these blessed
and marvellous powers which Christ
undoubtedly promised to His fol
lowers, and which the Holy Spirit
down all the ages has surely given to
those who believe. AS in the days OF
Christ and the apostles, so now "Ac
cOrding to your faith be it unto you. u
Let US doubt our doubts and believe
our beliefs and these ancient signs
will be seen again among the children
Of men.

output has come about, the Commerce
Department declared today, because
of the quality of the product. Ger.
many, which manufactures many
high grade toys, finds her chief mar.
ket in the field Of low-priced products
The growth Of the industry in this
country is laid by the Commerce De
partment to the closing Of Germany
former markets by the war. In 1914
the United States bought about
81, 700, 900 worth of German-made toys
while last year the value Of toy Inn
