Section 9—The Management of Sanitariums
A Noble Work
The management of our sanitariums involves a great deal. Those
connected with them have a noble work to do, and right principles
are to be strictly maintained. The workers are to labor for the es-
tablishment and support of the work of God in accordance with His
appointment, and the spread of the principles of true temperance in
eating, drinking, and dressing. To impart knowledge of this character
and of the saving grace and mercy of God is the most honorable,
noble work in which Seventh-day Adventists can engage. They thus
honor God, and advance their own interests for this life and for the
future, eternal life. Their example works for the saving of souls for
whom Christ gave His life.
A High Standard
In our sanitariums we must seek to uplift a high standard. The
banner of truth, goodness, and usefulness must ever be raised. The
blessed fruits of the gospel tree are to be manifested in thorough
consecration, in holy lives. Every true worker for the Master is to
be as a city set on a hill, that cannot be hid. The physicians and
managers in our medical institutions must be guarded; otherwise
they will surely deny the principles of truth and righteousness, which
exalt the Lord of heaven. They must have God dwelling in their
hearts, or they will set an example to others that will be to their
injury.
They will be tempted to cater to the tastes and habits of uncon-
secrated people by bringing in innovations, and the blessing of God
will be removed from the work. Ever remember that in God’s sight
a heart that is meek and lowly constitutes true value, even the orna-
ment of a meek and quiet spirit, which He regards as of great price.
God can bless the meek and lowly. He can use them as honored
