Labor Day Sunday
Be Opened
Notice
of Sale of Poor Persons
mid
19th century
Prairietown
Building
Butler,
Ohio
United
States
This
notice of sale is described: “Paupers would be sold at auction to the
lowest bidder. Basically, a bidder would take out a contract to house,
clothe, and feed the person and in return they would work for one year to pay
the debt.”
Genius begins great works;
labor alone finishes them.

Jesus set out and went away to the region of Tyre. He entered a
house and did not want anyone to know he was there. Yet he could not escape
notice, but a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately
heard about him, and she came and bowed down at his feet. Now the woman was a
Gentile, of Syrophoenician origin. She begged him to cast the demon out of her
daughter. He said to her, "Let the children be fed first, for it is not
fair to take the children's food and throw it to the dogs." But she answered
him, "Sir, even the dogs under the table eat the children's crumbs."
Then he said to her, "For saying that, you may go-- the demon has left
your daughter." So she went home, found the child lying on the bed, and
the demon gone.
Then he returned from the region of Tyre, and went by way of Sidon towards the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the Decapolis. They brought to him a deaf man who had an impediment in his speech; and they begged him to lay his hand on him. He took him aside in private, away from the crowd, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spat and touched his tongue. Then looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to him, "Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened." And immediately his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly. Then Jesus ordered them to tell no one; but the more he ordered them, the more zealously they proclaimed it. They were astounded beyond measure, saying, "He has done everything well; he even makes the deaf to hear and the mute to speak."
