Nature Of Light~As To Character~Disinfection

                                                                                

Another thing about light is that it combats disease. 

We know that physically, do we not? We send people with certain diseases to the country, where all is sunny and light.

We have learned to expose our wounds to the sun for their healing.

The light is healing; light is purifying; disease cannot abide the light.

Now, come back again to the City. It is said: the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations (Rev. 22:2c). Disease cannot abide this light that is in the City.  

The light deals with everything that is working corruption: it destroys it, and repairs the damage.

I am thinking especially now of the more recent discoveries and uses of light in healing. I remember how it began.

In the first world war, I had a great deal to do with wounded soldiers - thousands of terribly mangled bodies, torn by shell; and it was in that war, when it was so difficult to cope with this terrible situation, that the method of healing, and even of making good the loss of flesh, repairing the destroyed tissues - the method was adopted of just putting the wounded out in the sun, exposing them to the sun.

It was marvellous what the sun did.  
It built up the bodies; it made good the destroyed tissues, it healed in a wonderful way. 

That was the introduction of a new technique which has now, of course, been resolved into the various kinds of ray for healing.

Light does it: it heals; it repairs; it destroys disease.
