Excerpt from Religious Education and for the Healing of the Church It seems strange that Luther in neither of his treatises on the establishment of public schools speaks specifically of the religious education of the child. His catechisms were not written for the school, but for 'pastors and teachers, ' as the preface to the Small Catechism says, and for 'house-fathers, ' as the headings of the various parts say. Even Gerhard looks to the ministers and not to the schools for the religious training of the children. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Grace of Healing We have no other foundation than the word of God for our faith in divine healing. We need no other. Every unbiased mind must see it in the word of God. Testimony is good, and often gives a divine impulse to our faith in the living promises; but the word of God alone is the Rock upon which our faith must stand. Every individual must find this sure foundation for his feet, so that in every trial his faith may rest secure, and he may triumphantly say, I am built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner-stone. Praise God! We are in the midst of all the gospel privileges. Let us open our hearts toward God, and through his excel lent living Word let us drink in the streams of unceas ing blessings. Our spiritual and physical life may be deluged with grace. The throne of grace is accessi ble, and provides every need for soul and body. We use the term grace of healing because it is the favor of God shown toward us in his merciful pro vision for the health of his people. The health cove nant with Israel was but the foreshadowing of this grace, which should be revealed through the gospel of Christ, which is extended to all who meet the condi tions of redemption, and through faith become heirs according to the promise.

Excerpt from Divine Healing Sermons Unto the sick and the suffering, whose weary, thorn-pierced feet have trod affliction's rugged path unto the weak who have need of strength, and unto the strong whose heart would fain be skilled in faith to render succor to the weak, this book is loving ly dedicated in the Name of Him who gave Himself for us and by Whose stripes we are made whole. Day and night I have but to close these eyes of mine to see again, through misty tears, the drawn, white, pain-blanched faces of the afflicted of my people. One moment I am all a-weeping for the multitudes shut outside the crowded doors and for the thousands we could never reach, though we toiled day and night.

Excerpt from The Healing of Christ in His Church It is apparent on all sides that there is a gradual awakening in many'hearts to the truth of the Healing Presence of Christ in His Church. Many are seeking the truth and longing for healing, and those who are seek ing it in Christ Himself, who is the Truth, are finding the fulfilment of God's promises: Seek and ye shall find: knock and it shall be opened unto you. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled. I believe that God has much to teach us in the life of His Son Jesus Christ, and in the truth of His Presence in our midst, and this little book is sent out, with the consciousness of many imperfections and shortcomings, yet with the earnest desire that with God's blessing it may bring to the Church a helpful message of the Healing Presence of Christ. It is my great desire to see the Church, under the guidance of her Bishops, carrying on once more this part of her mission as the instrument of our Lord's Ministry of Healing, and I feel the great importance of the first steps. There are many rays of truth presented to the world at the present time, and the tendency is to accept this way or that as the whole truth. The whole truth is in Christ alone. He who is Truth and Light of Light gathers up all rays of light and truth in Himself, for all come from Him and all lead back to Him.

Excerpt from The Healing Ministry of the Church HE causes for the pitiable commonness of these troubles are manifold and complicated, and form an interrelated network which it is im possible to disentangle. The breakdown of re ligious faith; the growing artificiality of our so cial system; the mad rush for wealth; mental idle ness and frivolity; the use of stimulants and nar coties; the lack of self-control, arising, it may be, from overwork, or from culpable self -indulgence - all these and other factors are producing amongst us a neurotic and disordered tempera ment. Hence the formidable list of psychic ailments. I can name here but a few: hysteria, which mani fests itself in exaggerated emotional displays, such as intense craving for sympathy or admira tion, or in unconscious simulation of various dis eases, the fruit of an ill-balanced though by no means organically diseased brain; hypochondria, or the fixed but groundless belief that the subject [5.
