9	    The question then as now was, How did Jesus heal the
  	sick? His answer to this question the world rejected. 
  	He appealed to his students: "Whom do	                            Ancient
12	men say that I, the Son of man, am?" That	                    spiritualism 
  	is:  Who or what is it that is thus identified with casting
  	out evils and healing the sick? They replied, "Some
15	say that thou art John the Baptist; some, Elias; and
  	others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets." These prophets
  	were considered dead, and this reply may indicate that
18	some of the people believed that Jesus was a medium,
  	controlled by the spirit of John or of Elias. 
  	    This ghostly fancy was repeated by Herod himself. 
21	That a wicked king and debauched husband should have
  	no high appreciation of divine Science and the great work
  	of the Master, was not surprising; for how could such
24	a sinner comprehend what the disciples did not fully
  	understand? But even Herod doubted if Jesus was con-
  	trolled by the sainted preacher. Hence Herod's asser-
27	tion: "John have I beheaded:  but who is this?" No
  	wonder Herod desired to see the new Teacher.
