The same instrumentality is indicated in another curing of a cripple: "Paul, fastening his eyes on him, and seeing that he had faith to be made whole, said in a loud voice, Stand upright on thy feet! And he leaped up, and walked."2 The loud voice of command is often specified in such cases, as in the raising of Lazarus.3 It is said of Paul himself, after he had been stoned, "The people supposing him to be dead, drew him out of the city.

'John xiv: 12. ' Matt, xvii: ao. its efficacy lies in a "faith in God'" that is individual and personal, like the faith of Jesus. Like conditions are requisite for the exercise of like powers; and in the spiritual world, not less than in the natural world, these conditions are imperative.
