For many years the public
has been reading of "miraculous
cures by Divine healing.; and by
some it has been believed",
while others have doubted it,
saying the days of miracales
have passed, but not so, we
read "as our faith is- so it is
unto us." Just here we wish
to impress the great need of
faith in the world to-day. Men
have lost faith confidence, ' in
their fellowmen, and in their
neighbors. Without faith we
find ourselves in distress. Then
iaith is necessarv to make life
happy-, even in temporal things
t lie n if it is necessary in these
things, much more is it neces
sary in spiritual things.
