Medical Evangelism in the Cities
From City to City and Town to Town—To all people, rich and
poor, free and bond, Christ, the Messenger of the covenant, brought
the tidings of salvation. How the people flocked to Him! From far and
near they came for healing, and He healed them all. His fame as the
Great Healer spread throughout Palestine, from Jerusalem to Syria.
The sick came to the places through which they thought He would
pass, that they might call on Him for help, and He healed them of their
[533]
diseases. Hither, too, came the rich, anxious to hear His words and
to receive a touch of His hand. Thus He went from city to city, from
town to town, preaching the gospel and healing the sick—the King of
glory in the lowly garb of humanity.—

the unwarned cities. Time is rapidly passing, and there is much to be
done. Every agency must be set in operation, that present opportunities
may be wisely improved.—

In Every City Effort—The principles of health reform are to be
promulgated as a part of the work in these cities. The voice of the
third angel’s message is to be heard with power. Let the teachings of
health reform be brought into every effort made to get the light of truth
before the people. Let workers be selected who are qualified to teach
the truth wisely in clear, simple lines.—
