Is Sickness Real?

Editor

If sickness is real—in the true sense of reality—it must be of God. If of God, it is necessary and inevitable. What right, then, has any one to attempt to revoke a necessary and inevitable decree of God? In this view, if one gets sick he is so by virtue of a divine decree, and to get well would be to violate such decree. In that case health would be wrong and sickness right, and the great profession of medicine, with its vast institutions, would be contrary to God's law and purpose.

Who desires to plant himself upon such logic?
