reading from the Bible or having prayer along with the professional conduction of the ill patient. 1. Try to comfort the

patient.

We are God's children. Stress the feather-son (daughter) relationship with its love and concern. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. Joshua 1 : 9 And He said unto me (Paul), My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Corinthians 12 : 9; Psalm 23 2. Try to give the patient ^assurance. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heareth My word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. John 5 ; 24 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.C 1 Corinthians 15 : 19, 20, 22 (The whole of 1 Corinthians 15 is good for the patient to ponder.) 3. Give the patient hope

(spiritual).

Paul said, I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love His appearing. 2 Timothy 4:7, 8 Jesus said. In My Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. John 14 : 2, 3 4. What if the patient asks, „Why does God do this to me?" Remember that our great God has a master plan and nothing happens by chance. David said. Before I was afflicted I went astray: but nouw have I kept Thy word. Psalm 119 : 67 Job was tested and came through victoriously to the glory of God. Paul said of his infirmities. Most gladly will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 2 Cornthians 12 : 9 The force of your testimony through illness may be a real blessing to those around you. There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10 :13
