and not apply to lady physicians. It is an insult to women, and God
looks upon these things of commonness with abhorrence.—

Do Not Mix Cases—Now, the Lord would have us pursue a course
that can be an example to others. We are right in the last days. The
women should take charge of the women, and the men take charge of
the men whenever they are sick and privately sick. Do not in such cases
mix up men and women. See that you remove temptations. I cannot
tell you how many have come to me with their complaints, and wanted
me to heal these difficulties, but I felt as though I was not prepared to
do it. But recently the light has come to me that too great commonness
has been practiced. It must be that the women will take charge of the

some things in which they have to mingle. Women will have to do
some things. But it is too great commonness that has been brought in,
and this has been brought before me several times. But I felt as though
I could not rein myself up to touch the point.—

Women to Take Charge in Childbirth—The time has come now
when there are to be—and there should have been long ago—sensible
changes. Men have their appointment to take care of the men, and
women are to take care of the women. But when it comes to bringing
the men and women together in private practices of childbirth and such
cases—to have them associated right together—I should say it is not
right nor to be justified. Women had their appointed work in Bible
times and these women took charge of the women, and there was a
special understanding that was the way it should be. And that is the
way it should be now in childbirth. Let the women be as thoroughly
