How to get hold of a Faith that Heals the Sick

BY HENRY D. NUNN.

The Denver Sunday Times

Faith, according to the Scriptures, is a lever that will remove all difficulties from the path of any one who chooses to employ it. Taking this word to mean blind credulity, worldly philosophers have treated with undisguised contempt, this fundamental doctrine of Christianity. To them it seems pure foolishness.

It is such a simple, easy thing—just to have faith and "see the salvation of the Lord"—so it seems, to one who supposes that faith means credulity. Why should it not be classed with other feeble speculations indulged in by the race in its childhood? Men know that since the early centuries of the present era, at least, faith has not figured very largely as an ally in fighting the battles of life. If faith be so potent, the doubters naturally ask why Christians have not made more effective use of it in battling with poverty, wickedness, and disease.

If faith is of no avail in the struggle of life, it is time to stop teaching that it is. If faith is supremely powerful, it is time to find out what it is and how to get hold of it.
