The contrasting results Of the material
and spiritual methods for the treatment of
disease are wildly portrayed in the Bible,
as the following quotations will prove For
the material method we have the following
from Chronicles: And Asa was diseased
in his feet =, yet in his disease he
sought not to the Lord. but to the physi-
Clans And Asa slept with his fathers and
died.
For the spiritual method we have the fol-
lowing, collated from the New Testament
and Psalms: In the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with God, and
the Word was Cod He sent His Word
and healed Them and delivered them from
their distinctions" And the Word was
made flesh, and dwelt among US, full Of
grace and TRUTH And a woman having
an issue Of blood twelve years. which had
spent all her living upon physicians, neither
} could be healed OF any. came behind him,
: and touched the border Of his garment, and
Immediately her issue of blood staunched"

Just at this time her old physician re

When he called he ordered the medicine the
other physician left thrown out. leaving
fresh drugs in place of it. The lady mme-

time was well. Her husband. rejoicing at
her quick recovery remarked to the old
physician that the other evidently had
not understood his Wife'S constitution.
The doctor said he was glad his patient

that she had recovered under his care and
