The World is Sick

WHEREVER men dwell, thousands and thousands are suffering from all manner of disease. Sorrow, discouragement, and death have increased, until it is admitted the world is sick. This condition is the result of the transgression of the laws of life. To remedy this situation it is necessary to educate the people back into harmony with nature’s laws.
The health department of our work is “the right hand” of our special gospel message—“the entering wedge” for the complete work. Far too many are forgetting to use “the right hand” and “the entering wedge” in their attempt for the betterment of humanity. They are trying to heal the surface of the wound without removing the cause of the trouble. Being at variance with the laws of life, the people will have to be taught how to conform to these laws. Is there a way to do this? Have we a method and means by which a work of this kind can be done? We have an excellent way. We have a method of work that brings most gratifying results, and supports those who operate it. The way is “Life and Health;” the method, its circulation.
The world is sick, and in great need of the remedies we have; and we have the way and the means by which these can be supplied; shall we not merit great condemnation if through lack of discernment of our personal opportunity and exalted privilege, we fail to do what we can to help?
