A Letter

By ROXETTE LANDIS, M. D.

“AND Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.” Luke 8:46. Christ, the great physician, ministered to the physical and spiritual needs of his patients. He made them every whit whole.

How many patients come to us sin-sick! We as physicians ought to live close to the Great Healer to diagnose such cases. We always have the specific remedy for these—the Word.

I gave this remedy to a patient who needed such medicine. She took it home with her, and still uses it, and here is what she says:—

“Thank you for your words of comfort. They mean so much to me. I really think I am slowly learning the lesson of trust and patience; for I do not worry as I did.” And inquiring about another patient, she says: “She so needed faith and trust in our Father. She did not seem to know how to ask for help in that way, nor did she want it.”

Dear comrades, let us take Him with us in our office, in the sick-room, or wherever he leads, and follow the example of the Son of man, who “went about doing good,” and healing all manner of disease. Acts 10:38; Matt. 10:1.
