prayer God told him to use a sanctffed I
poultice. What did Paul mean when
he wrote 10 Timothy to take a little

was merely prescribing a dose of med,
icine for sick colleague. Paul writes
! thus to mothy. because the Holy Land
with but few exceptions is noted for
It's impure waters; therefore Paul. as
a common sense Christian. prescribes
little medicine when he saws. "Drinl,
no water, but use a little wine for thv
stOmach's sake" All through the Bible
we find commendatory passages like
these in reference to doctors. In no ,

wards in hospital-one to be filled :.
