Matthew 11:5
The blind receive their sight,
and the lame walk,
the lepers are cleansed,
and the deaf hear,
the dead are raised up,
and the poor have the gospel preached to them.

High and low
When you cross the continent on the Union Pacific Railway and reach the Rocky Mountains, you hardly experienced that the train brought you to new heights.
You have been running up at a rate that seemed as if you were almost on a flat plain.
It simply was because the grade was so easy that when you got up to the top of the mountains they do not seem any higher than the plains below, and it is rising so gradually that first made them seem so low.
But when you begin to go down on the other side, and go down the gorges and canons, the mountains seem very high from those low points.
The general tendency of Christian democratic institutions is to raise the average of mankind, and as the average goes up it becomes harder and harder for single men to stand as much above the level of their fellow-men as they did formerly.
