Medical Ministry
Study Your Leader
To every medical student who desires to be an honor to the cause
of God during the closing scenes of this earth’s history, I would say:
Behold Christ, the Sent of God, who in this world and in human
nature lived a pure, noble, perfect life, setting an example that all
may safely follow. The Lord is reaching out His hand to save.
Respond to His invitation, “Let him take hold of My strength, that
he may make peace with Me; and he shall make peace with Me.”
Isaiah 27:5
.... How eagerly the Saviour will take the trembling hand
in His own, holding it with a warm, firm grasp, until the feet are
placed on vantage ground! ...
Trust in Him who understands your weakness. Keep close to the
side of Christ; for the enemy stands ready to take captive everyone
who is off his guard....
[74]
It is young men whom the Lord claims as His helping hand.
Samuel was a mere child when the Lord used him to do a good and
gracious work....
To those who with steadfast perseverance strive to reveal the
attributes of Christ, angels are commissioned to give enlarged views
of His character and work, His power and grace and love. Thus
they become partakers of His nature, and day by day grow up to
the full stature of men and women in Christ. The sanctification of
the Spirit is seen in thought, word, and deed. Their ministry is life
and salvation to all with whom they associate. Of such ones it is
declared, “Ye are complete in Him.”
Colossians 2:10

Caution Needed in Encouraging Students
Many, knowing how trying are the duties of the physician and
how few opportunities physicians have for release from care, even
upon the Sabbath, will not choose this for their lifework. But the
great enemy is constantly seeking to destroy the workmanship of
God’s hands, and men of culture and intelligence are called for to
combat his cruel power. More of the right kind of men are needed
to devote themselves to this profession. Painstaking effort should
be made to induce suitable men to qualify themselves for this work.
