This is one of the first necessities if we are to be healed and blessed by Christ; we must look away from our trouble and fix our eyes upon Him. OF A CHILD—i.e., from young child hood, possibly from his very birth. Our evil passions are part of our fallen nature and we are never too young to be under the influence of the Evil One; original sin is the clear teaching of the Holy Book (cf. Psa. 51:5; Eph. 2:3); the theory of the naturally inherent deity finds no warrant in Scripture. 22— INTO THE' FIRE AND INTO THE WATER—How true it is that under the domination of an evil spirit men are cast, now into the fever of wild passion, now into the depth of cold self-despair. THAT IT [or he] MIGHT DESTROY HIM —This is the one purpose of the devil as regards man—hence he is called Apollyon (cf. Rev. 9:11)—and that from hatred, not to men, but to God, whose design in the creation of man he at tempts to frustrate; IF AT ALL THOU CANST SUCCOUR US, HAVE PITY, etc.—The man was not “without faith’’ or he would not have come at all, but his faith was by no means strong; probably it had been shaken by the failure of the Nine; having to deal with failing disciples often tends to weaken faith in their Master, and we should pray earnestly to be delivered from exercising such a baneful influence upon our fellow men, both for their sakes and for His.' 23— IF THOU CANST! ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE, etc.—“It is not a question of My power to help, but of thy power to believe.” Where there is faith there is boundless pos sibility; the one is circumscribed only by the limits of the other. 24— LORD, I BELIEVE; HELP THOU, etc.—So natural as he looked alternately at the Christ and at the child; a com mon experience of man. Yet this was not true faith, for that knows no doubt: “Faith, mighty faith, the promise sees Was there, then, any hope for the poor half-believing, half- doubting father? Would Christ not indignantly reject the prayer of one who could thus fail to trust Him? Nay! Such is not either His disposition or His practice: “He’ll never quench the smoking flax, But raise it to a flame; The bruised reed He will not break, Nor scorn the meanest name,” though that name be “Much Afraid,” and though the trembling hope in Him be not worthy to he called faith at all. He ban ishes the father’s Unbelief by granting him the desire of his heart—so tenderly does He ever deal with the sons of men. (To be concluded ) mp Inward S ins Not infrequently the man who denounces sin in the realm of outward conduct regards lightly inward sins—worldly pride, envy, covetousness, unbelief, lust, unjust judgments, and intellec tual dishonesty. These latter, however, are highly culpable in the sight of God. It is the mission of the Holy Spirit to rid the penitent believer of sins of the disposition as well as of those in the domain of action. Herein does the work of evangelical Christianity differ from all mere reformatory processes. It alone can regenerate and purify the human heart .—The Southern Methodist. And looks to that alone; Laughs at impossibilities, And cries ‘It shall be done!’”
