"He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds." "He telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by names." "Is not God in the height of heaven?
"The light of the moon being then to be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach of His people, and healeth the stroke of their wound."
The text his master had evidently chosen last were the words: "And he healeth them of divers diseases." Old Ephraim's version was a free one.

The Lord is 'He that healeth us. But, further, the cleansing is by fire.

And this is the fountain of Dublinia, wide in its stream, plenteous in its course, sweet to the taste, which, as is said, healeth many infirmities, and even to this day is rightly called the fountain of Saint Patrick. The Dead are raised up; the King and the People are converted; a Fountain is produced, and Tribute promised.
Too ill with rheumatic-fever to have service; this is the first attack of it I ever had and no medicine! but I trust in the Lord, who healeth His people. 18th February, 1867. This cow we divided at once. The last one we cooked, and divided a full, hearty meal to all every evening.
