“NOTHING BETTERED.”

By H. A. St. John

Mark 5:25-34.

TWELVE years seeking a cure of a distressing physical malady and “nothing bettered,” but growing worse. Earthly physicians failed, money failed, and “nothing bettered.” Thousands to-day, everywhere, are having a like sad and unsatisfying experience with the woman of sacred mention.

O that many of these might obtain the latter experience of that poor, but at last happy and healthy woman. O that every afflicted and heavy-laden soul would only go to the same Jesus, who is the same yesterday, to-day, and forever, just as accessible now as when the poor woman sought Him as a last resort. Soul-sick or body-sick ones press through the multitude of cares, discouragements, and doubts, reach forth the finger of faith and touch the hem of His garment. Jesus, the Holy One, is still the Healing One—an unfailing and inexhaustible Fountain of life and light, of healing and health.

Right where you are you may believe unto salvation and be made whole from the wounds of sin. “The great Physician now is near, the sympathizing Jesus.” Buy wine and milk, mercy and medicine, without money and without price. Jesus is now passing by. “Call ye upon Him while He is near.” His ear is open to your cry, His heart is open to your burden, His hand is open to your need. All you need for body, soul, or spirit you may find in fulness in Jesus. Let Him not pass you by forever.

H. A. ST. JOHN.
