 1	    Sometimes Jesus called a disease by name, as when he
  	said to the epileptic boy, "Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I
 3	charge thee, come out of him, and enter no	                                      Naming
  	more into him." It is added that "the spirit	                                      maladies 
  	[error] cried, and rent him sore and came out of him, and
 6	he was as one dead," — clear evidence that the malady
  	was not material. These instances show the concessions
  	which Jesus was willing to make to the popular ignorance
 9	of spiritual Life-laws. Often he gave no name to the
  	distemper he cured. To the synagogue ruler's daughter,
  	whom they called dead but of whom he said, "she is not
12	dead, but sleepeth," he simply said, "Damsel, I say unto
  	thee, arise!" To the sufferer with the withered hand
  	he said, "Stretch forth thine hand," and it "was restored
15	whole, like as the other."
