* REV. DR. TALMAGE DROOKLYN DIVINE'S DAY SERMON. THE SUN- Subject: “The Healing Touch.” Text: * Who touched Me?'-Mark v., 31, A great crowd of excited people elbowing each other this way and that and Christ in the midst of the commotion. They were on the way to seo Him restore to completo health a dying person. Bome thought He could effect the cure ; others that He could not, At any rate, it would be an interesting experi- ment, A very sick woman of twelve years’ fnvalidism is in the crowd. Some say her name was Martha ;others say it was Vorsalea, I do not know what her name was, bat this fs certain, she had tried all styles of cure, Every shelf of her humble home had medicines on it. She had employed many of the doctors of that time, when medical science was more rude and rough and igno rant than we can imagine in this time whe the word physician or surgeon stands Pe tent and educated skill, Professor Light foot gives } of what he supp nay have been s ramedies she ha supposa ghe had heen bli foot and had } used all styles had been | lacerated until 1 bad run uj monay for medi ance and f Purse was as ox What, tried or hygienio austed jostling crowd? } meandto!l purse your disorders.

When in prayer you lay your hand on Christ you touch all the sympathies of an ardent and glowing and responsive nature, You know that in telegraphy there are two currents of electricity, No when you put out your hand of prayer to Christ there are two currents--a current of sorrow rolling up from your heart to Christ and a current of com miseration rolling from the heart of Christ to you. Two currents, Oh, way do yon go un helped? Why do you go wondering about this and wondering about that? Why do you not touch Him? { Are you sick?
