Many a story might be told of these books. “Ministry of Healing” is the book that one of the queens of Europe admired so much. The queen herself was a writer, doing some fine literary work under the pen name of Carmen Sylva. A godly Christian woman she was, too, a queen who fell fainting to the floor, it was said, when she was told it was inevitable that her country would be drawn into the World War. Before those hard times she had urged upon our leaders in that country that “Ministry of Healing” should be translated into the language of her country. She volunteered to write an introduction for the book. But it was never done, I think, in the troublous times that arose. SPIAM 87.2
