Our Saiiour performed his Miracles, certain people who were called Phar- isees. They were very proud, and be- lieved tl-Lat elievedthat no people were good but themselves and they were all afraid of Jesus -Christ, because he taught the people better. So were the Jews, in general. Most of the Inhabitants of that country were Jews. • Our Saviour, walking once in the fields with hisDisciples on a Sunday (which the Jews called, and still call, the Sabbath) they gathered some ears of the corn that was growing there, to eat. This, the Pharisees said, was wrong; and in the same way, when Our Saviour went into one of their churches—they were called Synagog- rtes—and looked compassionately on a poor man who had his hand all withered and wasted away, the Phar- isees said "Is it right to cure people on a Sunday?" Our Saviour answer- ed them by saying, "If any of you had a sheep, and it fell into a pit, would you not take it out, even though it happened on a Sunday? And ltow much better is a man than a sheep?' Then he said to the poor man, "Stret• - ch out thine hand!" And it was cur ed immediately, and was smooth and useful like the other. So Jesus Christ told them "You may always do good, not matter what the day is," There was a city called Nain into which Our Saviour went, soon after this, followed by great numbers of People, and :espeical'ly by those who had sick relations, or friends, or child- ren. ' For they brought sick people out into the streets and roads through which he passed, and cried out to him to touch them, and when he did, they became well. Going on, in the midst of this crowd, and near the Gate of the city, He met a funeral. It was the funeral of a young man, who was carried on what is called a Bier, which was open, as the custom was in that country, and is now in many parts of Italy. His poor mother followed the Bier, and wept very much, for she had no other child. When Our Saviour saw her, he was torched to the heart to see her so sorry, and said "Weep not!" Then, the bearers of the Bier standing still, he walked up to it, and touched it with his hand, and said "Young Man! Arise." The dead man, coming to life again at the sound of the Saviours' voice, rose up and be- gan to speak. And Jesus Christ, leav- ing him with his Mother—ah how happy they both were—went away. By this time the crowd was so very great that Jesus Christ went clown to the waterside, to go in a boat, to a more retired place. And in the boat, He fell asleep, while his Disciples were sitting on the deck. While he was sleeping, a violent storm arose, so that the waves washed over the boat, and the howling wind so rocked and shook it, that they thought it would sink, In their fright the ells- ciples awoke Our Saviour, and said "Lord! Save us, or we are lost!" Ih stood up, and raising his arm, said to the rolling Sea and to the whistling wind, "Peace! Be still!„ And ina mediately it was calm and pleasant weather, and the boat went safely on, through the smooth waters. When they cane to the other side of the water they had to pass a wild. and lonely burying -ground that was outside the city to which they were going. All burying -grounds were out. side cities in those times. In this place there was a dreadful madman - who lived among the tombs, and howl ed all day and night, so that it made travellers afraid, to hear him. They had tried to chain him, but he broke his chains, he was so strong; and he would throw himself on the sharp • stones, and cut himself inthe most dreadful manner: crying and howling all the while: when this wretched man saw Jesus Christ, a long way off, he cried out "It is the son of. Godl Oh. son of God! do not torment met Jesus, coming near hire, `perceived that he wvas torn by an .Evil Spirit, and cast the madness out of him, and into a herd of swin (or pigs) who were feeding close by, and who dir- ectly ran headlong down a steep place leading into the sea and were dashed to pieces. Now Herod, the son of that cruel King who murdered the Innocents,: reigning over the people there, and hearing that Jesus Christ was doing these wonders, and was giving sight; to the blind and causing the .deaf to: hear, and the dumb to speak, and the lame to walk, and that lie was 'follow-. ed by multitudes and multitudes of people—Herod, hearing this, said: "This man is a companion and friend of John the Baptist." John was the good man, you recollect, who wore a. garment made of camels' hair, and ate wild honey. Herod had taken him. prisoner, because he taught and preach ed to the people; and had him locked up, in the prisons of his. Palace. . While Herod was in this angry < . humor with John, his birthday came; and his daughter, Herodias, who was a fine dancer, danced .before him, to please him. She pleased him so much that he swore an oath he would give her watever site would ask for. "Then, said she, "father, give me the head of John the Baptist in a charger:" For she hated John, and was a wicked, cruel woman. y The King was sorry, for through he had John prisoner, he did not wish to kill hint; but having sworn that. he would give her what she asked for,; he sent some soldiers down into the prison, with directions to cut off the head of John the Baptist, and give it to Herodies. This they did, and tools it to her, as she had said, in a charg- er, which was a kind of dish. , When, Jesus Christ heard from the apostles of this cruel deed, he left that city, and went with them (after they had. privately buried John's body in the night) to another place.
