Probably this is why so many people go to the Dispensary rather than to Deity. 3 John 2 reads, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prosper- eth.” There is a close relation between a spiritually healthy soul, well fed on the Word of God and well exercised in soul-winning, and a healthy body. No tice the distinction between sickness and demon possession, made by Jesus. Mk. 6:13. Common Sense Health.— “Not heal thy consciences, though they are well worth writing about, but consciences th a t are sound on the matter of health. Nearly one-third of the deaths in the U.
