Healing Service

       This was led by Dr. Sung in Guilan Church, Nanking, May 18, 1937.  After reading in James 5 about healing and anointing with oil, and explaining the promise in Mark 16:17, 18 and 20, then prayer and singing "In the Cross," the ill ones were taken one at a time to the platform.

       Dr. Sung prayed for each one, anointed him with oil, and smacked him smartly on the forehead as he did it.  Many were praying meanwhile.  Many were healed, including sick members of Guilan Church, whose pastor had opposed Dr. Sung's coming; but as a result of the hearings, the pastor became favorable and co-operated.

       This Nanking series was one of Dr. Sung's lesser meetings.  He was disappointed because there were only 600 seekers in the eight days.  God, raise up another John Sung!  What he had them sing is true today:

        “East is vain, West is vain, South is vain, North is vain;

         Everything is vain.  But we labour not in vain." Amen!”
