Disease far more docile than iniquity
If we are Christians on all moral questions, but are in
darkness as to the physical exemption which Christian-
ity includes, then we must have more faith
in God on this subject and be more alive to
His promises. It is easier to cure the most
malignant disease than it is to cure sin. The author has
raised up the dying, partly because they were willing to
be restored, while she has struggled long, and perhaps in
vain, to lift a student out of a chronic sin. Under all
modes of pathological treatment, the sick recover more
rapidly from disease than does the sinner from his sin.
Healing is easier than teaching, if the teaching is faithfully
done.
