D. 28 to A. D. 29. #PLACES.#--Capernaum, Galilee, Jerusalem, Nain, Gadara, Nazareth. [Illustration: GALILEAN MINISTRY Copyright, 1898, BY JOHN D. WATTLES & CO. The figures attached to the journeys refer to events mentioned in the first column on the opposite page.] The Incomparable Life (Continued) #128. The Year of Popularity.#--This was spent in Galilee. The Galileans had heard of his fame from those of their number who had seen him in Jerusalem, so it required but a few deeds of might to arouse them to the highest pitch of enthusiasm. His activity during this year may be studied with relation, first, to his miracles, and second, to his teaching. #129. His Miracles Multiplied.#--These were multiplied beyond any previous precedent. They sprang from him as sparks spring from the red-hot iron of the blacksmith under the hammer. There must have been single days when he wrought hundreds of miracles. Take that Sabbath day in Capernaum as an example. In the morning in the synagogue he healed a demoniac. In the later part of the day he healed Peter's mother-in-law. Then, as the sun was setting, there came to him all in that city that had maladies of any kind, and he healed them all. A wonderful day that, for Capernaum. No wonder that later on he referred to that city as exalted to heaven. His miraculous power manifested itself over disease of every kind. No malady was unreachable by him. The three characteristics of his healing ministry were, first, it was instantaneous--there was no period of convalescence. Deathly sick one moment--perfectly well the next; this was the history of each patient. (One exception there is to this, and that is of the man who needed two touches to cure his blindness (Mark 8:24.) Was the man's faith at fault?) Second, it was perfect--there were no signs of weakness left and no relapses. Ho
