Leaves from the Tree of Life

Leaves from the Tree of LifeWaggoner wrote these articles between the years 1897 and 1909, for The Medical Missionary magazine. These articles therefore constitute some of the last known written material from the pen of E. J. Waggoner.

They are significant for a number of reasons. First, they include many articles on the topics of health and healing, which is the “right arm” of the Gospel work. Secondly, there are some rare commentaries on well-known Scriptures such as Psalm 23, 1 Corinthians 13, The Lord’s Prayer, etc., included in the “Daily Bread” section: a series of daily readings for many of the months of 1904.

The work of a Gospel Doctor is clearly displayed in these writings. Waggoner had a wonderful gift from the Lord for revealing the closeness of God’s working in the world of nature, and the application of spiritual Laws in the physical realm. This is particularly apparent in the last chapter of this book, “Spiritual Law in the Natural World.” 388p
