No matter how | it is explained. the fact remains that| Christ controlled and cured the de- | moniac. The cure was divine. Jesus asked. “If I by the finger of God cast ! out demons, then the Kingdom of God has come upon you." Sickness, suffer- them are not punishment sent from God, for they are the work of Satan, | the prince of the power of the air.| He has filled the world with its germs. | Christ came to bring life to men. He | is the source of all healing, no matter | how it is obtained. | Every agency put forward to ad- vance the kingdom of God among men | | is certain to meet the opposition of | some selfish interest. The citizens of | the country thought their swine were of more value than the man, and re-| quested Jesus to depart from their consts. Many a reformer has been compelled to move because of some | venial alllance made by the selfish and sordid interests who oppose every res form movement that interferes with | their unjust profits. Jesus would not | stay where His presence wgs not de- sired. He left behind Him when He | departed from their borders the living | testimony of the healed demontac. He desired to follow the Master. who had | brought peace to his troubled soul. but | Jesus appointed him to be a home mis- | sionary. He had been saved, just as' we are saved, so that we can help the Lord to save others. He did his duty. Will we be true to Christ under the adverse conditions of modern times when we have to take our stand for the | Lord Jesus? He is the refuge for us | fn every storm and an abiding help | every trying hour. | subject tomorrow night of Rev. Ellis C. Primm, pastor of the Second Baptist Church.
