Who is preparing to take hold understandingly of medical mis-
sionary work? ... Every worker should be understandingly efficient.
Then in a high, broad sense he can present the truth as it is in Jesus.—

the educational work go forward. I am sure that this is our great lack,—

Let them take the living principle of health reform into the com-

I am instructed to say to health reform educators, Go forward. The

tide of moral woe. Let those who teach the third angel’s message stand
true to their colors.—

The Medical Extension Plan
The Lord will give to our sanitariums whose work is already es-
tablished an opportunity to co-operate with Him in assisting newly
established plants. Every new institution is to be regarded as a sister
helper in the great work of proclaiming the third angel’s message. God
has given our sanitariums an opportunity to set in operation a work

that will be as a stone instinct with life, growing as it is rolled by an
invisible hand. Let this mystic stone be set in motion.—

way of the Lord,” so must the voice of the Lord’s messengers be heard
in the great tourist and seaside resorts.—
