DIVINE HEALING.

on very important subject.
There seems to be a misunder-
standing among the masses in re-
gard to divine healing. We find
many that claim this to be a new
doctrine; others claim that the doc
trine of divine healing ceased with
Christ and the APOSTLES. Both state
ments are at variance with Gods
eternal truth.
1st. Our attention is called to the
prayer of Abraham. See Gen. 20:17.
Abraham prayed this prayer over
5000 years ago and he was charter
member of the first church ever or
ganized by man. Was his prayer
answered? The record says it was,
and you will find line upon line on
this subject, and case after case
where they have been healed. Some
were healed instantaneously, others
were gradual cures.
make this statement to quiet the
minds of those that get over anx-
ious to see something done. The
world is full of doubling Thorn
asses, all anxious to see something
with his own eyes; not willing to
take God at His word. We have
ministers who assert that in every
case healed by divine power that it
wac done instantly. Please let me
refer you to Miriam Moses. She
was smitten with leprosy. Moses
prayed "heal her now, o, God, be-
seech Thee" but the record is she
was shut out of the camp seven
days. After that they received her
again. Here we see that God de-
clined to answer the direct letter of
the prayer Ito heal her now" but at
the end of seven days she was
whole and restored back to camp.
The law of publication was com.
piled with. Many come to be healed
of body ailments that haven't re-
nounced the remedies that they are
using. They haven't the spirit of
remuneration required by the law
of perfect love. Here the healing is
gradual.
End. In the raising of the Shu-
nantes son there were stages
which make it gradual case. See
End Kings 4 Chap. Read.
Sd. King Hezikiah was healed
during three days. I'd Kings 2O:5.
Squeal if you desire, but you must
take the medicine.
We could refer you to Jobs case
and various others, but Job had no
confidence in the physicians. He
says they are forgers or lies, physi-
clans of no value. Job 1874.
Jeremiah 30:13 "Thou has no heal
ing medicines" How does the
above fit the case of the woman that
spent ali she had for medicines and
grew worse. The shepherds in the
days of the prophets were instruct
ed to heal the sick. 1884. IA.
We have learned that the Patri.
archs and prophets advocated heal
ing under the old dispensation and
under the new dispensation. Christ
the son of God, preached and prac'
ticed healing. He went about heal
ing all manner of diseases. Didn't
ask any questions who you are or
where you belong.
lust a word about the second
treatment. See Mark 6:22-25. Please
read. Here are two applications on
treatments. When God speaks man
ought to acquiesce. John 4:4S-52
gives us q marked case.
The nobleman asked for life Jesus
said 1.-THE con liveth." He didn't
say he was entirely well, but began
to amend ut that very time. John

this was done he came seeing. Here
