CHAPTER V.
GETTING CHRIST'S TOUCH.
"This is life--to pour out love unstinted; Good and evil, sunlike, blesseth he; Through your finite is his infinite hinted-- Children of your Father must ye be." -- LUCY LARCOM.
There was wonderful power in the touch of Christ when he was on the earth.

Wherever he laid his hand, he left a blessing, and sick, sad, and weary ones received health, comfort, and peace.

That hand, glorified, now holds in its clasp the seven stars.

Yet there are senses in which the blessed touch of Christ is felt yet on men's lives.
He is as really in this world to-day as he was when he walked in human form through Judea and Galilee.

His hand is yet laid on the weary, the suffering, the sorrowing, and, though its pressure is unfelt, its power to bless is the same as in the ancient days.
