The bitter complaints you have received all start from one person who thinks she has not got it all, but who went to work and healed a brother of kidney Complaint at once. She is one of these Chronic kickers that will not push ahead and see what she can do, but try among her friends and see what she can do, with less faith in herself and ScienceEditorial Note: Christian Science than the patients themselves I am at work with her awaking her from the dream and reminding her of the promises of Christ and teaching her not to confine herself to her own ability but God and ScienceEditorial Note: Christian Science.

The blind man.
Did this man sin or his parents that he should be born blind? John 9:2.John 9:1 And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth. John 9:2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? John 9:3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. John 9:4 I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. John 9:5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world. John 9:6 When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, John 9:7 And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing. John 9:2 And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
How could he sin before he was born, does this prove pre-existence?

Jesus in healing the Deaf Man, placed his fingers in his ears so it reads, and there are places where he seemed to actually lay his hands material on the sick, touched his tongueMark 7:32 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him. Mark 7:33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; Mark 7:34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.
