had not seen the cloud or heard the

Grim and dreadful is the sugges-
ton of the episode as the father led
his stricken boy to Jesus Himself,
and. pointing to the disciples, said,
These your disciples have failed.
They could not do the work which
everybody supposes characterizes you

church had failed in the eyes Of the
multitude

proved to be an embezzler and a
rogue. What kind of gospel had that
man been hearing. that he could 60
