the PreSent-Day Healer; Jesus IN
Present+Day Saviour"
Jesus is the present-day heale
through the agencies for that pur
pose. God has always used human
agencies to help Him in His work
and today He uses human agencie
in helping Him in the ministry o
healing as well as saving. The bod.
is material and must be dealt witt
by material agencies. These agen
ces for healing are the products o
human beings. We are Gods agen
cies to make these things possible
for suffering human bodies. There
fore, we are His agencies in build
ing hospitals and maintaining then
to the fullest extent of our ability
All of us cannot be doctors ol
nurses. all of us cannot visit the hos.
pitfalls and minister to those who are
suffering there, but all of us can
give of our earthly means to the
building of hospitals and thus dc
our part in the ministry of healing. -
A few of the appeals of the
churches outside of Milford. were as
follows:
Rev. James H. Brasher, Union
Methodist Episcopal Church at
idgeville-"There are three indis-
pensables to good civilization: Re-
ligion-to care for the soul; Eduea-
tion--tO care for the mind; Medicine
to care for the body.
Perhaps there shall come a day
when hospitals are not needed. when
preventive medicine safeguards
health, when temperance in all
things preserves good health, when
old age is not to be feared, and death
is not a tragedy. but a triumphal
transition made thus by a universal
faith.
But that day is not yet, the poor
and the sick we have always with
us. Let us, therefore, gladly miris-
ter to the needs of the hospital for
verify we shall be ministered unto
"A good man helps-whO can de-
scribe those who refuse?"
Rev. Roy l.. Tawes. Magnolia
Methodist Episcopal Church-"The
OF healing is the ministry
of Christ. and the modern hospital
is an evident testimony to the con-
tinued presence of Christ in the
world of man. The Christian Church
with her strong support of message
and expression, must help to keep
this testimony aflame amid the dark
ness of a suffering humanity.
I'm three of the Gospels there is
The account of Jesus healing a GER
.ain afflicted man. The patient is
to the house of a peasant. |
IN which house is the Great Physi- |
'ian and around Him a crowd hear |
ng His teachings. Because of the |
,rOwd. The friends. who are bring |
ng the sick to Jesus, cannot get in. |
rhey must discover another way Of /
entrance. So they 20 to the fiat roof !
md lower the man down from there |
The account is very suggestive for |
,ur thought. The ministry of heal
ne is in our Milford Hospital. When
,ur loved ones are sick, or struck
lown by accident. we know where

Iitions! Therefore. our present ap-
zeal. 4 new hospital will really be
new entrance for those who need
he ministry of healing"
Rev. J. E. Parker, Methodist Epis-
opal Gilnrrh at. ..Harrington='.It is
'ur duty and. privilege to contribute
IS we are able to the building and
Of the new hospital at
iilford. This hospital is the hos
Iital Of the citizens of Harrington.
t serves us well and as it is our
privilege to support it, we shall find
ur reward in so doing. Let us do
ur best for the Lord loveth cheer

Rev. E. N. Wright, Ellendale Meth
dist Episcopal Church-"Inasmuch
s We have done it unto one of these, !,
~ brethren, We have done it unto
le." ,
Let us all support this excellent
Ospital which serves the great COM 9
unity of which we are a part"
Rev. o. w. Prince, Milton Metho-
st Protestant Church, writes: Il /
n heartily in favor of the COM a
iign for the new hospital and will q
lppOrt il in every way possible.
0 one can afford to forego the priv
age of contributing TO such . wor-
V cause. First-ibecause il Is
lrist-like; Second--because it is
after Of Self-Preservation"
Rev. Robert Barber. Laurel Epis-
pal Church. writes: 81 am deyot-
g part of my sermon to the matter :
better social gospel and the hos
tai is the finest expression of it.
shall be glad to keep the Milford
nergency Hospital in my prayers"
