IS SMALL-POX FROM GOD?

Denver Republican

What would the apostle Paul have done with a case of small-pox?

This question is not addressed to those who do not believe the accounts in the Bible of divine healing by Jesus and his apostles, but to those who believe. Would Paul have administered drugs and established a rigid quarantine? Would he have sent letters to all the cities of Judæa, Greece, Assyria, and Asia Minor telling his co-workers to look out for small-pox?

If the apostle Paul should re-appear now, what would he do with a case of small-pox? Would he say that the gift of healing the sick by the power of God was a temporary dispensation and give the sick man drugs?
