angels will be present to sustain you. The Comforter will be with
you to fulfill the promise of the Saviour, “Lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world.”
I have a charge to give, a message to bear to our sanitarium
workers. Keep your souls in purity. Do a work that will have a
winning influence on those placed in your charge. You can speak
often to the sick of the Great Physician who can heal the diseases
of the body as verily as He heals the sickness of the soul. Pray with

the sick, and try to lead them to see in Christ their Healer. Tell them
that if they will look to Him in faith, He will say to them, “Thy
sins be forgiven thee.” It means very much to the sick to learn this
lesson.—
Letter 56, 1907

Consecrated Nurses
Earnest, devoted young people are needed to enter the work of
God as nurses. As these young men and women use conscientiously
the knowledge they gain, they will increase in capability and become
better and better qualified to be the Lord’s helping hand. They may
become successful missionaries, pointing souls to the Lamb of God,
who taketh away the sin of the world, and who can save both soul
and body.
The Lord wants wise men and women, acting in the capacity
of nurses, to comfort and help the sick and suffering. Oh, that all
who are afflicted could be ministered to by Christlike physicians
and nurses who could help them to place their weary, pain-racked
bodies in the care of the Great Healer, in faith looking to Him for
restoration!
Many Converted and Healed
Every sincere Christian bows to Jesus as the true Physician
of souls. When he stands by the bedside of the afflicted, there
will be many not only converted, but healed. If through judicious
ministration the patient is led to give his soul to Christ, and to bring
his thoughts into obedience to the will of God, a great victory is
gained.—
