For Gordon, God’s intervention in the suffering and sickness of His followers is frequent; the will of the Lord however is variable—but He will not prolong the pain of someone whose illness is too great.

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.
