a poor. bent woman who had been
a confirmed invalid for 16 years.
She was just one of the common

to be found everywhere and always.
Her neighbors took her illness heed
lessly.
But Jesus did not. He never looked
upon suffering without an impulse
to heal. That was His nature, and
the nature of the Father whom He
represented. The hallmark of all
Gods loyal children is compassion.
We are recreant to the Family ira

the crippled, to read to the blind,
to write to the bereaved-these are
all primary Christian duties.

At once the bent back straight

TomorrOw's Great Healing.
In the rotunda of Johns Hopkins
Hospital, Baltimore, stands a heroic
marble replica of ThorWaldsen S
staue of the Christ, with out
stretched arms, saying Come unto
Me" 1t is more impressive than
the original, which stands in
Copenhagen church. The statue has
been a comfort to uncounted Wis
itors to the house of healing. It
symbolizes the great truth that,
behind all the scientific skill of
the physicians, and all the ministry
of the nurses, stands the figure, the
example and the spirit of the Com
passionate Christ.
Afresh the old truth comes home
to us that for the worlds great

but no mention was made of it at

asked to remain for family PRAYERS.
He records:
Il never expect to hear such a

general began with a simple eX-
preston Of thanks for their personal
safety. Then he added thanks for
the courage Of the nation under fire
Then he prayed for strength for the
men in the field and along the
firing lines; he prayed for STRENGTH
for himself But the most amazing
thing in his PRAYER was a plea that
God would help him and help China
not to hate the japanese people. He
prayed for the Japanese Christians.
and all the suffering multitudes of
Japan whose impoverishment was

He prayed for the people who were

the ideal of "All We are brethren"
unless we first know that "One is

the Great Physician, alone adequate
