The Ministry of Healing

Introduction

The world is sick, and wherever the children of men dwell, suffering abounds. On every hand there is a seeking for relief.

It is not the Creator's purpose that mankind shall be weighted down with a burden of pain, that his activities shall be curtailed by illness, that his strength wane, and his life be cut short by disease. But all too frequently the laws established by God to govern the life are flagrantly transgressed; sin enters the heart, and man loses sight of his dependence upon God, the source of life and health. Then  follow the penalties of transgression--pain, sickness, death.

To understand the physical laws governing the body and to bring the life practices into harmony with these laws is a duty of the first importance.

When sickness comes, it is essential that we employ the varied agencies which, in co-operation with nature's efforts, will build up the body and restore the health. There is, also, a larger and more vitally important question--that of our relationship to the Creator who originally gave man his life, who made every provision for his continued happiness, and who today is interested in his welfare.

In this volume you will find a vast fund of information on life and its laws, on health and its requisites, on disease and its remedies, on the sickness of the soul and the healing balm of Gilead.
