THE DIVINE TOUCH

By J. E. F.

THE Master touched the fever-stricken woman, and immediately the fever left her. He touched the deaf man's ears, and the deaf heard. He touched the tongue of the dumb, and the dumb spoke. He touched the sightless eyes, and the blind saw. He touched the leper, and the leprosy was cleansed.

A woman in great timidity, conscious of her need, came up behind Him, and said, "If I may but touch His garment, I shall be whole." Matt. 9: 21. Of others it is said, "As many as touched Him were made whole." Mark 6: 56. There is virtue in the Master's touch. His hand is strong to save. His sympathy is the same to-day as when He was here in the flesh. But He waits for the human touch. He quickly discovers, even amid the jostling throng, the heart longing for His help; and as many as thus touch Him with this touch of faith are made whole. J. E. F.
