Healing is the great human need. The supreme ministry of religion lies in healing: healing the brokenhearted, the lonely, the sick, the sinful, the ignorant, the defeated, and all this by the power of the spirit of God. The healing I mean does not have to do with medicines or scientific therapeutics in general. It has to do with everything spiritual available for the healing of the human life....

Life in our society would be very different if we did more healing and less wounding, if we went constantly at the task of attacking disease and ignorance and sin and folly in all forms and visited every sort and condition of man in his need. There is healing in His wings—and there is life and power and salvation. There is that which will truly bind up man's wounds and make him whole again.
