Thia guostion, ho eald, fwas occasioned by the eonduct of a woman who, ‘suffering undor a long and griovous disoase, for JSvhich sbo had §n vain tried human skill, took advontago of tho crowd which had gathored sround tho Bavior, aud touched tho fringe ‘of hia garment ; for it was n strong conviction An ‘tho poor womou's mind, *“If I may but’ touch his olothos, I ehall bo whole.” Hor faith was justificd, and the afliction of yoars vanishod in 8 moment. *‘Who touched ‘mn?" eaid Josus, ‘¢ Master," roplied the disci- plo, ** tho multitude throug 'hoo and pross Thoo, and sayostThou, * Who touched ma?'” ¢ Some- hody hath toushad me,” ‘sald Jesus again, ** for I péreoivo virtuo Is gono ous of me,” Thon tho ‘woman, porceiving that sho could not be con- cealed, camo tremblivgly forward aud confessad 'wll.’ Upon this followed the glad avuouncoment, ™ Daughter, bo of good comfort, thy faith hath mado theo wholos go in poace. 1t was hardly mocéssary, porhaps, to -dwell upon the quostion of tho woman's motive, Hor ‘desire for concenlment may not have beon wrong, nor did it appoar that sho wished to so- onra the bonovolont miracle by stealth. Proba- bly aho adapted this method from foar of popu- Yar projudice. Nevertheless, for hor spiritual ag woll a8 hor bodily good, for tha good of thoso wha stood by, and for our own good, it was well that thts not should ba made public snd receive tho opon sanclion of ‘the Rodeomor. In this womnu's touch thero wae a pecullarity, an em- .phasis, to which the Savior mereifully respond- &d. "It was not liko the pressurc of a crowd, but & touch with a purpose,—~a touch of faith and neod, There was much moaning in a touch. In pass- Ing slong thoerowded stroots, how readily do we distinguish tho touch of friendly recognition,— #he touch that claime specinl attention,—fromy the goneral prossure of the multitude, * Who touchedmo?” 1l nssumed tho fact that, in tho essenco and power of Hix peraouslity, Jesus was with us still, TFor agos He had beon travel- ing and porforming his imiracles of aivilization and of lovo, while Ho had infused new life in- o humanity, and lmcd.%p bruised hoads and comfortod soro biearts. How many ofthe sspects that mot His gazo ‘of. old- lingored among us ‘till ]—tho suno palo face of woo, tho samo rod pyes; of weeping, the lame and tho blind, the Qumb and the {ngane. Crowds thronged 'and prossed around Mim to-day ns crowds had pressed and thronged around Him_in oli times sincg Ho camo. Tha religion of Josus was not o unpopular roligion ; in some sousg, it never biad boou. _Tiven in tho nintion that rojocted and eacrificed Him, the common people Loard Him gladly ; and evorywhoro, in clties and villagos, in _desort places, aud on the mountains, multi- ‘tudes gathered about ‘Him, Thore was moro thian ouo eonse to this term populpr. It might indicato a vory suporfieinl profession ; but that which elovatod the mind and filled the fieart, avd ‘ot the moral wants of the pooplo, was in the bost souso popular. Inthis lattor why the ro- ligion of Jeaus Lad boon popular, Because of ius_univorsality, becauso of its adaptednoss, it had boon a religion of tho peoplo,—the roligion of tho pooplo,~n rligion of the multitudo. Buosuso of this i hud survived all porsccutions, il nsgoults; oud, what, was moro - formudable than nll the rest, it had survived oven all tLe ‘inconsistoncies of it professod disci- ples,: and would survivo thom. Ohratianity was popular in the senso of boing applicablo fo tho neods of tho human hoart—the aspirations .of tho human soul. But was it also the popular religion in tho otuer and loast gonuiuo sonse,— inthe sonse of mero superficial accoptance ? Was it not too much tho casa that Christianity was dnly nominally received,—that It was a tra- ditional rathor than a perdonal roligion,—that it ‘was maintained as a form rather thsu o8 & cone viction? 'Was it not largely nccopted in the epirit that was much moro ready to tulk .Gpslpol thanito practico it P— a “apirit that might be quite willing to put the name ‘of itd Divino author and fonndor into tho Con- etitution of the United Binles, or any othor politionl documont, sud yot romain as bofore, uninfluenced by ita light and rogardioss of ita conditions, Cbristianity did not lck many sym- olical exprossions of boliof; nor was it to be considored that Christianity lacked popularity, 80 farag the criterion of church attendsuco was concerned. As & goueral thing, the churches ‘were well filled. Thore was no greator mis- tako thon to rofer to this. age as nn drroligious ago. It was a religious sgo; 1.0t, perhaps in tho sonsb of assont to former c.o¢ds, to traditlonal beliefs ; but in the senso «f intorost in thowo groat realitios tht Iny at tho zoro of all religion, "Thero nover had been an 830 in which there was so much of it. Thero wasno ovidenco of & decline of this intorest while.Christianity was tho religion of the mnag- e8, und the multitude still thronged and pressed mround tho Savior. How many of thom touchod Him? Mow iany felt the real- ity ©of a porsoual olution o Jesus? To how many was ‘Ho moro than sn historical Olrist, o traditional Christ, o Bunday Christ ? Perhaps no moro, in proportion, than nmonfi the multitudes that thronged and prossed sround Him 1,900 years ago. Could wo analyzo their motivos, wo should discern in some in- stapcés maro curiosity to Koo, to hoar, to admire, to criticise, In othior cages it would ba habit. Not ‘all woro so. Perhaps there was Do opeasion when somo sufforing man or woman bLad not touchod the Bavior. Josus ‘was with us all, consciously or ubcongciously, All have s0me conncction, o some sort of - rela- tion to Him, yot who, like tho woman, touched Him with juteuso'purposo? Thore were fow who would profoes au open unbolief. Ho con Bidorod it & good sigu of ndvancoment when n may was carnost enough evon to bo thorouglily sloptical in roligion; 1t was bettor than dead tradition and tho fortalities of tho prayor-book, Bhora was woro faith: fu things doubtod than in f tho - creeds, Disbelief 110 did not think pravailed to any great oxtout, &t lenst jn tho caso of thoso who wont to church or genorally attended tho ordinances of tho chuych, Somewhore or othor there ran the chord of latpnt belief, aud, while tlioy do not touch Josus, they say thoy sro not indifforent towards 1lim, How do wo touch Jesus? A good man; peoplo touckiod bim with rospect—the vast mui- titude rospected Him. Thaey could not help ¢, scoing that Ho brings asblessing snd comfor! {0 many souls.
