"Gifts of healings in the one spirit"
The connection of spirit and body III
mankind is so close that whatever af
fects one has great influence over the
other. Disease of body causes a per
son to view matters in a far different
light from what they would appear tc
him in health. Purposes, plans, dis
position, character and even destiny
depend in large measure on health and
disease. Vice and crime and sin need
to be studied in their relation to body
and soul. The act of healing is more
than matter of medicine. The cure
of souls also has much to do with the
cure for the bodies of men.
Jesus gave much attention during His
ministry to the relief of disease. His
miracles of healing will In the future
have a closer and more profound study
than they have ever had in the past, as
we come to appreciate the necessity for
more adequate knowledge and treat
ment of diseases of body, mind and
soul.
In the church of Jesus Christ empha-
sis from the first has been placed on re-
lief of distress, poverty and sickness
Nursing and healing ministrations have
had a place close beside the offices of
preaching and teaching.
In the mission work of the modern
church special value has been found to
lie in the healing art in reaching the

may be the defects of medical science
and practice in civilized lands, outside
of the distinctively Christian nations
there is absolutely no such thing as
medical knowledge and skill. The suf-
fering is appalling; the disregard of
human life and Indifference to the con
ditons of women and children among
the heather are almost beyond belief
Death is the only deliverance. The
medical missionaries have opened the
door of hope for this life and for the
life which is to come.
Whether the work be in China, In

classes of the people are almost totally
destitute of any help from physicians
The native doctors are In many cases
worse than useless. By opening dis
pensaries and hospitals where all can
be treated at reasonable charge OIL
free of cost multitudes are cured. Al
the same time they are made acquaint
ed with the gospel of Jesus and the
hope of eternal salvation. A new world
of experience is opened to them. Those
who can and will heal bodies will be
trusted to give directions to the SOU
for its salvation.

Every task it's time,
Every grief its season.
And in ways sublime
God makes known His reason.
Every eye its tear,
Every back its burden:
Tribulation here:
Peace in Christ our guerdon.
Every heart its pain.
Alternating pleasure;
Sunshine after rain,
JOY in fuller measure.
Every day its night.
Every night its waking:
Faith leads on to sight;
Cloudless day is breaking.
Every shattered hope

From a rainbow slope

A detached railway car will go alone
and even up grade for short distance,
but it soon exhausts itself and remains
motionless until moved again by a
power outside itself. He who under
takes to live by his own energy alone
will soon find himself at the end of his
resources. God gave man dominion at
the first. He took from him the divine
commission when he sinned. 1t is re-
stored to him again when he renews
his allegiance to the God of man and
the universe.-Philadelp Methodist.
