titude, all alike, are involved in -his

and manifesting his wonderful power,
yet they were without faith. Full

Christian i workers stand impotent be

of a lack of faith. " How ;. frequently
we miss a blessing because of our
dependence upon some one -.who
makes a failure of faith and prayer.
Jesus was then and always has been
troubled and distressed at such failure
(v. 19). However, the . father was
rewarded when, in obedience to the
command, he brought - his boy to Je
.eus. The conversation that ensued
is interesting and pathetic, one that
is too often repeated toiday. At last
in his deep anguish the father cried,
"If thou canst, do anything, have com
