JESUS BORE OUR SICKNESS

Do you know thi~ loeautiful chapter, the
fiity-thlrd of Isaiah, which has been called
the fifth Gospel?
In the light of the
Spirit of God, baiah descr ibes beforehand
the suffer ings of the Lamb of God, as
\\1.'11 as the divine graces which should
r('~ult fr0111 them.

The expressioll, "to bea r," cou ld not but
appear in this prophecy. it is, in fact,
the word which 11l1l~t accompany the men ~
tion of sin, whether as committed directly
hy the sinner, or whether as transmitted
to a substitute.
The transgressor, the
priest and the exp iatory victim must all
bt:ar the sin. In the sallle way,. it is be~
cause the Lamb of God has borne our sins,
that God slllo te Him for the iniquity of us
ali. Sin was not found in IJim, but it was
put upon Him; He took it voluntarily
upon Him. And it is because 1-1e bore it,
and, in bearing it, Pllt an end to it, that
II I: has the power to save liS. "My right~
COliS servan t sha ll justify many, for he
sha ll bea r their iniquities
, he shall divide the spo il with the strong. because
he ba re the sin of many" (I sa. 53:
ll,12), It is. th e refore, because our sins
have been borne hy Je sus Christ, that we
<lfe delivered frOIll them as soon as we
bcheve this t ruth; consequently we have
no longer to he;lr them ourse lves.
In this same chapter, Isaiah 53, the expression, "to bear:' occurs twice, but in
relation to two different things. It is
said, not on ly that the Lord's righteous
Sen'ant has hornc the sins (vs. 12), but
also that He ha~ borne our s ickne sses
(n. 4, R. V .. margin). Thus His bearing
our l'icknesses forms an integral part of
tht: Redeemer's work as well as bearing
our sins. Althollg-h Himself Without sin
H e has borne ou r sins, and He has done
as muck for Ollr :-icknesses. The human
nature of Jesus cou ld not be touched by
~ick " css bccall~{' it remained holy,
\Ve
never find in the account of His life any
mention of sickness, Participating in all
thc weaknesses of our human nature,
hunger, thirst, fatigue and sleep, because
all these things are not the consequence
of sin. lie still had no trace of s ickness.
As lIe was without s in, sickness had no
hold all llim; and He could die only a violent death and that by His voluntary consen t. Thus it is not in Him but all Him
that we see s ickness as wel1 as sin; He
took UpOIl Him and bore them of His
own free will.
In bearing thelll and
taking th em upon Him, He has by the
vcry fact triumphed over them, and ha s
acquired the right of delivering His children from them.
Sin has attacked and ruined equally the
~oll l and the body,

hath. I laving taken upon 1Iim s ickness
as well as sin, Tie is in position to set us
free frOIl1 the one dS wcll as th c other,
and that He lI1ay accomplish this double
deliverance, He e:tpects from us only one
thing: our faith.

And let the Spirit \."ield H is sword,
He has to go: you'll see him go,

The Lord rebuke thee, Satan;
The Lord rebuke thee, Satan;

\Vhell Jesus was 011 earth, He said,
"'Tis written," to the foe;
"'Tis written," three ful! timcs He said;
And Satan had to go.

And, as Satan went from J esus,

"Where the word of a king is there is
power" (Eccles, 8:4); and where the \Vord
of the King of kings is, there is Omnipotence, In order to make that Almighty
Vv'onl operative in m and for us, one thing
only is lIeeessan-; and that is, to believe 11.
•
So, the Word of God is with us todayfor it cannot be lost-just as olllnipotent
as it always has been <1ml a lways will be,
for it is incorruptible, i. e" cannot suffer
change of any kind. We have but to
make connection \dth the batteries of
heaven by press ing the button of faith,
to have the exceeding greatness of God's
power revealed in our lives.
Possibly we have a ll read the story of
the blowing up of "lIeli Gate" in !\'ew
York harbor, an engineering feat which
was cons idered very wonderful at the time
of it s performance a number of years ago,
\Vhen it was decided to remove the
dangerou s rocks which had ca\l';ed the loss
of many s hips and precious lives, large
gangs of men were set to work to honercomb them w it h drill s. r do not now reca ll how many 11l0Ilth~, or years, they
worked, but it was a colotisa l task, "Vhen
the dri ll ing was completed powerful ex·
plosives wert' placed in po:>itioll, and the
whole was wired and connected ,vj th batteries located many miles away. When
the hour announced for the explosion arrived, the chief engineer was in his office
in New York City wit h some officials and
his stafT of assistants. On his knee sat his
tiny granddaughter, and in fron t of him,
on his desk, was an insigni flcenl looking
key, or button, by meallS of which little
Mary was to blow up lIell Ga te.
Il ow it was to be accomplished she had
1I0t the remotest idea-that was grandpa's business-but that it would be done
s he could not doubt, for had not grandpa,
who never told a lie, said so? Therefore,
with perfect confidence that, as s he d id
it, those g igan t ic rock masses would be
blown into fragments and scattered just as
g randpa had told her, she pressed the button with all her might. Then, far away
in the distance, a dull, booming SOllnd was
heard, and in a few' moment's the message
was flashed o,'er the wire, "He ll Gate is
no more."
The touch of the child's finger, in obedient faith in her grandfather's word, un-
lockcd the forces which his \. . i .. dom had
provided for the demolition of the frowning obstacles; but the tOllch, feeble as it
was, was necessary. Though everything
requisite to tbe dearing of the channel had
been supplied, the child's finger must release the power.
Do you understand the allegory? God's
Word of full salvatio u for sp irit, soul, and
body-eternal aIHI glorious deliverance for
the entire l1Ian- -has becn spoke n; nay, is
being spoken; lor it liveth, and back of it
i" OmnipoUcnce; but we, children as we
arc. must press the button ,,·ith our tiny
flllgers. When Cod·s people do this, in
its fulle s t sense, the message will be flashed to heaven , "Hell's Gate is no 1110re."
In Luther's tillle the enemy had the bar·
hor of "peace with God" so blocked with
dangerous rocks that l11ally were lost in
their attempts to make it. "Vith all their
penances, iastillgs, llilgrimages, ~cou rg ­
ings, and grovelings before popes and
priests, perhaps comparatively few in his
day knew \\hat it wa...; to be free irom condemnation before Go(l: the way was a

the Word, "The just sha ll live br faith,

Thank Cod for what has been done;

hymn says.
God's \\'<.,r;l re~ardillg healing b "torever settled ;., and it has always been
made living and real in exact l'f0Pot' iOIl
to the degree of faith exerc ised by His
people, To show that this statemell~ i~
amply borne out by recorded fact~, let us
briefly review the history of Divin~ Healing from the earliest ages to the present
dille , 0\\ elling a little on "the work of some
(Ii Ihe more modern e>..)))nel1l_·; {)f this
t~t1th,
It is a noteworthy fact that, in every
religion that has eve r existed, there is
some belief. either clearly expressed or
implied. that the healing of the human
bod~' is part of the function of the god,
o r gods, worshiped by the followers of
August 23,
1~24
that creed. One writer, the presidell t oi
a univcrsity, says that the fact that the
healing of the sick ha;, been mixed up
f rOIll time immemorial with religion, has
most seriously hindered the develop.lent
of mec.1ical ~cience.
1 believe that the widespread existence
of this belief is due to the common origin of mankind, and the retention, to some
extent at least, by all peoples allld races,
of the original revelation of God to our
first \>ilrelltS, including the fact that sickness is the resull of sill and that the Supreme Being, whose law )las heen violated,
is the only olle \\ ho can effectively deal
with it. 1 further be lieve that the healing
of disl:ase is "mixed up with religion," as
the writer I have {Iuoted puts it, because
God has joined them; and what God hath
joilled together nlan may not put asunder.
!-listo ry shows us the ancient Babylonian:;, Chinese, Eg)"ptial1~, East Indians,
(;reeks, and Romans, as \\ell as other races
hll.ving recourse to religious observances,
sacrifices to their demon deities, prayers
and ".!fious othe r ceremonies in case of
~ickness: while of the Jews one historian
states: "Di~ease wa~ considered a .punish.
111ellt ior sin, and hence the cure was reli~ious rather than medica!."
From the foregoing it is evident that it
has been the genera l conviction of mal1kind in all ages that sickness has a spiritual origin, and requires to be dea.lt with
by divine power. So far from being a
modern fad, as it has some t imes !Jeen called, Divine Healing is the ancient and original method of dealing witb the ills that
Aesh is heir to, even amOllg heathen peopIes: while amongst God's chosen people,
the Jews, nothing else :>eems even to have
heen thought of until after the reign of
Solomon. during which so much that was
ido latrous lIas int roduce(\.
It was prophesied of the Chri:.t, sOllie
700 years before J lis first advent, by the
prophet I saiah, that H e would bear, not
only the ~ins of the worl<1. but their infirmities and sicknes.s{'s as well : whicb
Word lIe fulfilled, healing all that were
oppressed of the devil, and commissioning His followers to carry 011 the work after His ascen sion, promising to be with
them UlltO the end of the age.
Tn the book of the Acts o f the Apo~tles
we learn how literally they understood,
and how faithfully they executed this
command; and for the first three CCIlturies, at (cast. of the church's history,
their example was closely followed by believe rs on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Listen to the fo1\owi11g quotation from
o ne of the best-known fathers of the
early church, Irenaeus, dated about A. D.
ISO. (He is c.lrilwing a comparison between heretics and true belie\'ers on the
Lord Jesus Christ):
"They (the heretics) can neither confer
sight ~n the blind, nor hearing on the
deaf, nor chase away all sorts of demons
nor can they cure the weak, or the
lame, or the paralytic: or those who arc
distressed in any other pa rt of the body,
Nor can thev furnish effective remedies
for those ex'ternal accidents which may
occur, And so far arc they from being
able to raise the dead, a~ the Lord raised
them, and the apost les. and as has frequently been done ill the brothe rh ood,the en tire church in that particular loca1-

ity entreating with much iasting and prayef, the spirit of the dead Ulall has returned
ill answer to the prayers of the !.aints,that they do !lot even believe that this
could possibly be done."
In another place he says; "Others again
heal the ~ick hy laying their hands UPOII
tllt'Ul, and they arc made whole.
Yea,
moreover, as 1 have said. the dead even
have been raised up, and ft'll1aincd among
us for many years."
The greal Christian Father, Origen,
writing \\ell 011 in the third century, says,
speaking oi the Christians of his day:
"They expel evil spirits and pcrform lllallY
CUfes . . . miracles arc still found among
Christians, and some of them morc fC .
markahlc Ihan have ever existed among
the Jews; and these we have ourse lves
wilncs~cd."

These statel11l.:1tts would haye be":l\ chal.

admitt(;d of heing disputed.
It .... ould "ppear that praying for the
~ ick and :lIIointing them with oil, never
ceased to be practiced for the first seven
centuries of the Christian era; though ai·
ter that it began to decline as the result
of the changed attitude of the church
dne to the apOstasy that set in. Bllt not:
withslandin~ eve n this, many notable heal·
ings took placc after this date; and the
fact that as ~upe r stjliol1 becatlle rife it
was usua l to connect these with the 1I~llle
of some sninl or other, instead of giving
il ll Ihe g lory to Hilll to whom it right ·
fu lly belongs, our blessed Jesus, does 1I0t
invalidate the fact that the healings, which
were prayed for in the name of Jesl1s, actually occurred.

them, not a religious writer, ~ays. "If we

In the heginning of the 12th century, \\e

The Anointing of the Sick for Healing
In Jat1lc~ I:]mtle. chapler 5, ,cr:'Cl> 14
II) Its, we read. "h any sil-k among you
Ll·t him call for Ih(' e1d£'rs of the church,
,IIH1 kl tlwlI1 pr.t} over him, anointing
him with oil in th~ noun£, of the Lord

It Illlgitl nOI rain
and it rained not on
tht earth by th~ wace of three years and
.. ix months. And he prayed again, and the
heaven gave r.lin, and the earth brought
forth her fnut."
Unbe lief had heconte so strong in the
churches that for long it was common ly
'Iucrt~d that thl' message of this passage
"as for the col rly days of the ]H e:lchi ng

th~ reasons for Ihe choice of the officials

lI or of expectiug any good res ults from it

the cld~rs of the church. They mu st be
of one luind. not wa.ering, nor doubters.
The t"ird command is to the general
members of the church, "Pray one for anolhel. n.at "!e may be healed." They

<l110mtllllo{ \\ith ad "a:. common 111
(Hd fe!Jtamel\l clay:., aud was used a .. a
Jlllbol of the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Uavid \\a~ anointed, and the Spirit came
011 him from that daJ 10rward.
Samuel
;ulOintt:d Saul to be king o\"er hrael, and
hc told him that the Spirit of the Lord
,houh.l come 011 him. \Vhcn Saul came
to the hill, and a company of prophets
met' him (I Samuel 10;10), the Spirit of
(iod did come UI)On him, and he prophe,ied among them. So, also, in James'~
epi!)tle, the anointing i~ used as a symbol of the I [oly Spirit, and the meaning
of anoint inl{ is that thc Illan is set apart
to be filled by that !lame Spirit and to
be healed. The anointed ~ick person Illust
et himself apart and pray to be filled
with the Spirit.
I had once spoken at a meeting. and a
very godly man replied, "The apostles
never anointed the sick wi th oil." Yet
Mark 6 :12,13 savs of the apostles, "And
thc.\' went o ut and preached that men
~hou ld repent.
Au<l thc.v cas t out many
devi ls, alld anointed with oi l many t hat
wcre sick ;lU d healed them."
SOllie good men ask, "W hal oil do you
lise?" 1 ha H answCfed, " \Vith what wate.r
do you baptize?" The act is sy mbolical,
and th e kind of o il used is of no consequence. There is no h ealing pow~r in the
oi l itself, and, if a patient thinks too much
of the oil a~ a means of healing, he will
he disappo inted . It is the Lord who heals.
In a large number of ca.!.es I have known,
the outpouring of the Spiril ha s been most
marked, and has brought the sick one out
into a new and higher sp iritual life . Many
who have recei\'ed anointing say that the
healing of the body has been a remarkab le blessing, but that the s piritual revival
ha s been of infinitely greater ben efit.
"The orayer of faith shall save the sick.
and the Lord shall ra ise him up; and if
he have committed sins, they shall be for given hil1l." \Vhat is the prayer of faith?
I t is a prayer in thc und oubting belief that
it will be an swered, and thaI the sick
perSO Il will be healed, and not merely that
God will give something e lse that may be
vetter t han the healing; it is faith that
th e answer will be definitely what you
have prayed for. If that be so, it implies
that the man who pra ys know. the will
of God. No one can pray the prayer of
faith. and at the same time he in doubt as
to the will of the Lord. How call we
know the will of God so certainly as to
hav e no doubt on this point? Th e will
of God can be learned frOI1l the Word
of God.
Man y Christian people are very in consistent with regard to- this matter. If
ther are ill. they sen d for the doctor witho ut any question about the will of God,
and they take any cour se of treatment the
doctor suggests without any hesitation:
but if they are bidden to take the course
commanded in this Scripture, they exclaim, "How do I know if it is the will
of the Lord that I should get well? I
dare not take such a course as that. I
\\ll} :,hould they undergo treatment in
"rJcl' to be lll'aler! ~ The) are surely ill'
lunSI~tcnt.
Ii it i~ GU(.!':; \\ill that they
lould ~uffer, they ::.hould not usc e\'cry
methud po:.,ihle to get rid oi their pain·
A 10llg l'xperience ~hOW3 that this doubt
a~ to the will of {;od to l1l'al Jie£ at 'he
root of a large amount (.Ii ,uffcring. It
is ofttn the fir~1 problem that needs to be
ellle(l. beiorc the prayer of faith can be
prayed. and it i, ohell extrcmcly difficult
to dj'abuse the paticnt's mind oi the fatal
\·i(·\\ that th e direct prayer for healing
llIay be againq the purpO!Jl" of the Almighty. But :r,hould \\"e 1I0t consider thai
obedicnce to the direct command con·
tained in this pa:.:r,agc from James's epistle
i.., more honoring to God than disobedi
{'lice? \Vhat is the command given for?
Is it not an expres!.ioll of the will of the
Lord' The epist le of Jamcs belongs to the
('Ulon of Scril,turc, and we belic\'c it to be
in;:>pircd as truly as other parts of the
Bible, an d yet we (Iisobcy its p lain ill'
jOllcti()ns withollt a flualm of conscience.
I have heard man) good men speak in
<;, uch a \\ay as to show they would !'Iooner
cut Ja1l1es'~ epi~t l e out of the canon of
Scripture than act 011 this passage.
Wc note that it i::. 110t ... a id that the
allointing sh all save the sick. The anointing is exceedingly good for the purpose
ior \\ hich it is intended. hut it must not
ht'co!1l(' the !'Iubject of a su perst itiou s
faith . It is a ve ry solemn act, and
shoul d Le carried out with a kn01\'Iedge of its m eaning. The anointing
shou ld be accompanied with the laying
on of hands according to Mark 16 :18. But
\\'e should not consider that all is o.er
when this has been done. 'r'he question
which should then arise i:., "Am I filled
with the Holy Spir it ? and if not, why am
I !lot? Is it not possible for me? Am
I not comm anded to be filled? Arc net
th e promises of th e gift of the Holy Spirit
made to me as much as to others?"
I was o nce !'li lti ng beside the co uch of
ont' who had bee n many years a cripple
frOIll the ~ pin e. I had been con versing
\\ ith he r about being healed.
" \-"hich
wou ld you rathcr have," I sa id , "the gift
of healing and th e power to walk, or the
gift of the lIoly G hos t ?" After a few
moments' consideration, she said nlost
('mphatically, " I would much sooner be
filled with the Holy Spirit." "Thcll," said
I. "roll will. T do ubt not. have both. You
have desired the best thing, and the Lord,
according to Hi s usual bount y, will giv~
you the I e..~c r blessing a:. well as the
greater." This became true, for she wa s
healed, and was able to walk well, and
anyone who knew her, and understood
th ese things, could lIOt fail to see that she
was also filled with the Holy Sp irit.
\Ve will next consider James's statement that " the effective fervent prayer of
a righteous man availeth much." Aver}'
god ly man , whom I knew well, was a
miner, working in a large tin mine. At
one time he wa s living a very wicked life,
far from God. A revival visited the to"'"'K.
and this man was one among man}' con ·
verts, and soon became known as one of
the most godly men in the place. He st itl

3. Ver.,es 5-13. This is the stor,. of
the centur ion's se rva nt who lay at home
"sick of thc palsy, grievously torment·
cli_" \Vhat a ~lrallge war of "bcsce('hin~
Him," hy merely telling Him that hb
"ervant was sick. But this is the kty to
the nrinciple involved in this case, name'
Iy, the authority of Christ over the body.
The Lord propos('~ immediately to go
with the centurion nnd heal his servallt.
The c('nturion humhly pleads his own unworthiness of such nn honor and adcl~
that it is cntirely Jlcedh'~.,. He wa" a
Roman soldier, under authority, and ha,'ing .1 hundred men untler hi~ authorit\·

"Do thi 5," and th e commnnd wa!> execut ed without t he o ne in authority'" going
along to ~ce that it was done , The ('('n
turion acknowledges Jesus a; o ne having
surh absolute authority to exccute
healing by mere worel of mouth. TI c

orial appcared in a prominent reli{t'ious
\\"\'('kl)' In which th e po~ition was taken
that for God to remOVe si('kness in an·
swer to prayer without nat ural mcans
would be an interfere nce with H is es·
tablished laws in our bodies, and that it
wa<; more dangerous to the church to ad
mit any teaching or prac ti ce of that :;ort
than to admit the worst form of l1l1 1' Cilef
or infidelity. 'the obvious falla cy !ies in
the premise t hat n di<:ease in it s opera ·
tions is the expression of Cod's laws. so
that to nsk Him to arre§t and remove it
is to reverse His laws. On the contrary,
disease is the interfcrence with His orjginal and establ ished laws. It is the sIgn
of an invad er somewh er e in Hi s kingdom,
Prayer re port s the matter to the s uprC11l ::'

His origi nal laws when He brinriS about
the t ime when there shal! be no more
s ic!me;s or death or crying (Rev, 21 :4) .
Jesus greatly commends the faith of
thi~ ce nturion.
It wa s n refresh ing I!X·
ception 10 His uSlla l expericnce in I srael
itself. And He sees in it the harbin ger
of the: faith He was to rece ive from Cen·

What are His people doing today but
bon'ing down to other "authorities," and
slighting H is name and commandments
in the sphere of sickness? Then, too,
t iuough whose hands does He ('onler
}-fi~ authori ty and power in healing:
Js
it not through believers, through "the
elders of the church"? And is a piU t lC
agency of Hi s power? Brethren, the~c
are rea Hy serious questions.
4. Verses 14, IS. "And when Je~us
was come in to Peter's house; He saw his
wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.
And lI e touched her hand, and the fl!ver
left her; and she armH' and ministered unto them." The pri nciple here relates to the
life of Jesus for us and in us in relation
to disease.
Whik our mortal life contract,; disease,
Jesus' life hanishes d isease. Cf)nta~iou"
disease is da ngerous to us, but the life of
JCS'lS is destructive to disease. The \'el'\'
life of Jesus is of healing virtue. It is
immortality touching mortality with a
foretaste of the coming redemp ti on. 1'\0
child of Cod ca n afford to be ii\·ing in
mortality without these 3ippings of the
life to come. The experience of the
Spirit's ql1ickening in 0111' mortal n~.,jl
brillg~ lite ral bodily immortality nigh to
Ollr consciOllsness, and it puts u~ ill ad
vance touch with "the po\\"er~ cf the
worifl to come."
It g-i\'es us a nel\'
knowledRe and appreciation of the indwelling of Chri<;1. Pllt medicine in the
place of this divine liie of the 'Wicke"il;;';
~pirjt, a lld it is a vital loss.
This being true, t hat the touch or life
of jes us in the Spirit is healing to our
ho(lics. it becomes plain that we ha\'e
here a most wonderful and an ever-presenl means of healing. Some years ago
another article appearcd ill a leading' religious weekly (just as pointedly aimed
against divine hcaling'. although Ilot so
virulent in spi rit as the other), in which
it was reasoncd tllal, as faith is shown
I,y works, so for one to pray ior healing
from ~ickness and not to usc the means
at hand is not fai th hut fanaticism. This
reasoning is perfectly correct. The error of it, howe ver, lie.i in LTv~'rlookin~
the mean s that God has J!i';en us. It
a<;stlmc<; th;\! the m~an:5 gi\'f'1l by God
i~ acon it e, nux vomica, etc.: whereas t he
~criptures very explicitly represent that
the mea ns Coli ha3 gi \'cn Hi; people i~
the name of Je sus Christ. His Son. "If
we thi s dar be examined of the good
deed done te the impotelll man. by what
means he i.~ made whole; be it known
unto you all, and to all the people of
hrae!, that hy the !lame of J esus Christ
of Nazareth. whom ye crucified, whom
God raised from the dead, even by Him
dotl, tTli; man stand here before you
whole" (Acts 4:9, 10). That man wa"
not raised up without the use of meansCo(l'f: means for Hi s peopl e. His "means"
is th!' name of Jesus Chri~t. !hilt i~, Chri~ t
Hi mself. prc-~ent bv name, in the ~pirit,
though not visibly and bodily.
Who,
th e n. is the fanati c-the one who prays
to God for healing and uses just Hi $
means, the name of J es us, or the one
who pra ~'s <lnd then ra ll s in a human
do('tor and takes remedies? The per~onal
Christ within is t he Physician and H is
T1<lllle the rem~dy. How blesst'ri it if: for
THE PENTECOSTAL EVANGEL
our hody to be H i<J VCr\' alTice, with ne
hour when He i3 not iOn, ior lIe is "a
veri present hrlp in trouble"
5. Verses 16, 17. "\Vhen the even \\-as
come, they hrol1~ht unto Hml Illally that
wer!, possessed with devils, and He cast
out the spirits with His word, and heal
I'd all that were ~ick: That it mig-ht be
fulfilled which was ·:ipoko.:n by the proph
t·t Esaias, ~aying, !limself took our in
firmities and bare our skklle~sc~'" lIere
we tind the true ~llm of the \\hole mat
tel' oi di\·ine he:tling, r.amely the cro~~
of J esu.<;. The language employed here
with respect to Christ's vicarious assumption of human !:icknt'sses is the "arne
as that employed in the ca"e of sins. \Ve
see that de\'oted head drooping on His
Lo;;om in death under our sickne;ses and
pains. Vlhat an appeal this makes to
us! AIl belie\'ers need to have Christ reve3[erl to their hearts- as the bearer oi
oOlr sicknesses in I1is body on the tree.
" HE SENT HI S WORD AND
HEALED"
(Psa. 107 :20)
"Lord,
am not worthy that thou
~houldst come under Illy roof: but speak
the word only, and my sen'ant shal l be
healed" (:-.olalt. 8 :8). In this incident of
the healing of the centurion's serva nt , we
han' the {;i,!ntile teaching the Jew. And
today we sec many who are counted unuelievers teaching the so-called believers.
\Vho ar~ fighting the truth of healing
most today?
The so-called believers.
They have all kinds of objectiom, difficu lt ies and explanations.
The Lord jesus \\-as in the midst, opening the eyes oi the blind, touching the
lepers and 1llaking them whole, healing
the palsied and ca~ting out demons, and
yet tlte je\\-s questioned Hi~ authority and
where He got the power. T hey even
counted lIim as a sinner (John 9:16). BUl
here in this incident we have a Gentile
\\ho felt he was not wor thy that Ch rist
should COl'lle under his roof: and he said,
"Speak the word only, and my servant
shall be healed." Jesus had said, "I will
come and heal him," but the centurion
had as .nuch confidence in the word as
in the presence of thc~faster. That man's
faith is a lesson for us toda\', especially
for people who say, "Christ is not healing
now."
Jesus healed through H is spoken word
without touching. and without going to
the home. The centurion was willing and
contented to have the \\'ord: for whe re
the word of the K ing is there is power.
The centurion recognized lIis au t hority
and Hi s power. H e recogniz~{1 it not so
much for forgiving sins a~ ior healing
bodies. lI e was not sufficien 'i v advanced
to understand the spirit ual . import of
Christ's misson.
But he profi ted and
learned the lesson from wha t his eyes
saw in healing. H e bad faith that if
Christ said the word his sen'ant would be
healed. Christ was gratified and pleased
and said. "I have not found so great faith,
no, not in Isra el. And J sa y unto you,
that many sha ll come from the east and
west. and shall s it down with Abraham.
and I saac, and Jacob. in the kingdom of
heaven. But the children of the kingdom
sha ll be cast out into out er darkness."

Many orthodox: believer~ todOlY accept
ehri:.t a" the Saviour or th(' world OInd as
the one that can heal the sours sickIlC!i!i, but the}, art' limiting His pows=r and
do not believe His 'v\'ord when it say:.,
"By his stripes we arc healed" (lsa. 53 :5)
.\ml (;od has to bring in tht' modern centurion 10 teach modern Israel their lad..
oi i.tith. The COlllillon pcople heard Him
J;:'ladly and the cOlllmon people today are
helicving' the word of Jesus when lIe says,
"The Spirit or tht; Lord is upon me, be·
('au~e he hath anointe<i me to preach the
gospel to the poor, he hath sent me to
h('al the broken hearted, to prl"ach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of
"i/otht to the blind, to set at liberty them
that are bruised" (Luke 4 :18)-broken
hearted ;..'ither through di:.e<t"e. sickness
or sin, bound by Satan either in body or
mimi. and aCluallv blind, not llect'ssarily
'piritually blind only, for Christ proved
b.\ j li~ acb after\\dn.l that Ihe Scriptures
foretold thc r('('o\"'rinJ{ oi sight to the
physically hlind.
Any healing through iaith in Chri~t Jeby \\hatsoe\'er means brought about,
IS a prooi to the world that jesus Christ
l' the ~amc, .YC~h_·rday . and toda\', and
fore"t'r. En'ry criticism of cvery ~uch
healing is a slur, is a doubt, is a hurt to
the Lord jesus, and contradicts the scripture ~tatell1ent that lie is the same, yesl~'rda)', and today, and
fort'ver.
Let
Chri~t han' a chance to prove that He is
thc same. But the critics, those who belie\,e they arc the true brael, say: "But
thert' arc ~o mal1\- iaitures when people
pray ior the sick!" Then you pray better. It was Israel, the Jews, that caused
the only seeming failure Chrbt had. 1Ie
could do 110 mighty works in a certain
place bCC3U!;e of their unbelief, sa\'e that
lie laid lIis hands upon a few sick folks
a11(1 healed thelll-the few who wcre not
swamped by the avalanche of unbelief
arol1!1d them (~Iatt. 13 :58: Mark 6:5).
In another place "I he power of God
was present to heal" (Luke 5 :27). The
orthodox believer can create or destroy
in a measure the rondill(ll1<: il1 which
healing can take place or contrariw ise.
"Speak the word oniy. and my servant
~hall be healed."
I Ie did 110t cal[ for the
elders. He did not kuow about the anoint·
ing with oi1. lie did not ask fo r the Jews
to lay hands upon the sick servant. He
was quite contel1t with a healing by the
ab5ent Christ provided the word was sent.
We have fa r more to encourage and to
strengthl:n our faith and to cause us to
expect Christ to heal, for we have the
record of all the healings in the gospe ls
and in Ihe Acts of th e Apostles, the in 5trllClion s in Jam es 5, and Christ's word
after His resurrection, "These sign s shall
follow rhem that believe: in Illy name
they sha ll lay hands on the sick
and they 5hal! recover" (Mark 16:17,18);
we have the passage in Hebrcws that tell s
Ihat Jesus Christ is the same yesterday,
and today, and foreve r, and Peter's st at ement, "B y whose str ipes ye were healed"
(1 Peter 2 :24). Therefore w e arc with out excuse. Prove Christ, try lI im, and
as you have taken Him for your soul's
salvation and proved Him true, in like
mantl e r you can "rove Him for the healing of you r hody.

It is with milch j(ratitlldc to Coel that
we arc ahle to r('port a marked increase
in the Forei!!"n ~lis.'iionary ofTerinR~ for
the month of July. The drop durinct
JUlle was heartrending a.'i we thought of
our tnis~ionarirs' with onlr $8813.15 to
place at their disposal in making out
their :t110wance".
Evidently the day of prayer and fasting for the Ileed'l of Mis!':ionarie'l on June
the 20th mu"t have had a tremendou~
dTect. The July offerings amounted to
$ 11,436.5t, an incren'le over JUlle of $2.1)23.36 or nearly three thousand dollars.
Let U5 continu(' to pray that these ad·
ditional needs mav be mel hv in('f('ased

of opportunity may be embra ced. Re('Tuits are waiting to go in. Will you

DAMAGE BY RAINS
We have had very heavy rain!': here
for the last two weeks. Some places in
the city were flooded . There are many
houses and walks here that are built of
mud. Many of these have become rainsoaked and conseq uently have ral1en
down. Our own walls are amollg t he
number. The mud thai surround s the
property pllrcha-sed last winter has fallen
down in five places. causing thc brick
walls of some of the native rooms on the
place 10 fall down also. It will take con~
sidernble time and expense now to repair it. even then we will only have a
wall that may fall during the next heavy
rainfall. A brick wall would be mueh
mar" permanent. but that· would likely
cost ahout $300. It is neces"-ary that we
have a high wall with a strong gale to
keep our places in China from being freQue ntly vi~ited by Ihie,·es. ,,viII you
please bring our need of a bri ck
wall, as well as our other building needs

A COMMENDABLE WORK IN
INDIA
At :-"awabganj, Mr. Harvey worked
heart and soul and ...acrificed for the ex·
tellsion of the Lord's work here. I n the
cOllrSe of a number of years quite a
Christian community has been gathered,
among whom are old men, old women,
roung womCIl, hoy~, small children and
also lepers. The lepers ha,'c their place
at some little distano: from the rest of
~harannagar.
The old men have their
own separate quarter;. the few you n:-:"
girls that are in the zen:!!!a arc away
from ~haranlla2"ar in school most of the
ume. Consequently, we have a few children together witb younR women. and
also a few old women. in the zenana,
and this is located quite close to the
bungalow.
Over some three hundred yards from
the zenana and off of our immediate compound i, the boy's boarding school where
[ believe there arc at present some fortYM
eight boys anywhere hetween the ag<.::;
of -"even and at the Illost about six teen
years (very few this old). Over the se
boys we have a hOtlscfather. Over the
?enan;! we haye a matron. In church on
~undays and Thursday eYelling praying
meeting the boys Sil on one side and
the women on the other.
\\'e have a good boarding school that
has been built, and also a good brick
school building, with the best of ventilation and meeting government requirements, is under erection and is well nigh
finished. Re sides the boarding hOYe; ,,-e
have some of the boys of our preacher,'
families. and also a few from the outside which makes morc than sixty hays
altogether in thc school. Last winter
we were also given government recognition and in the spring" alIT two fOHrth
grade hoys took the examination in the
Nawabganj govcrnment ~{"hoo1. One
lacked a little of passing" (due to la("k
of application). the other one came out
ahead of the nine hoy~ frol1l the Nawabaganj government school. As yet, we
have only a primary school. hilt we arc
trying to take steps to put in a middle
school course. and hope to make <In
Anglo-Vernacular school out of it.

SIGSBEE, M O .-Northeast Mo. has
been a new field, in which little of the
rcal Pelltecostal truth has been known.
However, God has been pleased to call
out a people for His name . Splendid
progress has been made here, reaching
III the lellt Illcctirlgs many people who
have never had any affiliation with the
churches in this commu nity. Last year
,L new tent was bought by the nucleu s
of Pentecostal people, and -also the sympathizers with the message. About 102
"\\-ere converted in that year' but God ha s
:'laici, "Speak unto the peo~le that they
move forward," so this year we felt conqrai ned to lake another .tep forward,
and bou~ht another tent, seating 500 peo11k ThIS made it pos!lible to put another
nangelislic party on the field.
Both
tenls are the same size and crowd; hayc
~athered in and about them that ha .... e
heen estimated at from 700 to 1200. \V e
dedicated our new tent this year with
One sou l being saved in the first meet!I.' ''' held undLr it and three the next night.
I here werc 24 conversions during thc
f? ur ~eeks of meeting, and 34 wefe bapt lzed. In water all the last Sunday of the
meetlllg. \:Vc had a basket dinner all
Ihe closing day, and more than 400 people were fed at a 50· foot table. Some of
Ihem traveled 40 miles to come to the
all -day service. Conviction re51ed UpOIl
the people from the very outSet of Ihe
rcvival. One lady that fell over in the

Out in Ihe woods. when our

room for cars to be parked all all sides.
Twelve professed Christ, and five were
baptized ill the Holy Spirit, two of whom
were free -\\ ill Raptist preachers. A home
is, now open to workers. On Ihe closing
I1Ight we had some lIle~sages indicated by
the H oly Spirit. A little child's eyes were
completely healed in 48 hours . One was
closed and the other nearly so. We first
prayed for her and then her eyes, Sister
Still's niece received the Baptism in the
backyard, about midnight, and was dancing. praising God and singing in other
