Section 17—Medical Missionary Work in the Great Cities
335
If our brethren will use their God-given ability to warn the cities,
angels of God will surely go before them to make the impression
upon the hearts of the people for whom they labor. The Lord has
many thousands who have never bowed the knee to Baal. Let not

our ministers and our physicians fail nor be discouraged.—

A Mighty Movement
There is no change in the messages that God has sent in the past.
The work in the cities is the essential work for this time. When the
cities are worked as God would have them, the result will be the
setting in operation of a mighty movement such as we have not yet
witnessed. God calls for self-sacrificing men converted to the truth
to let their light shine forth in clear, distinct rays....
As a people we are not half awake to a sense of our necessities
and to the times in which we live. Wake up the watchmen. Our first
work should be to search our hearts and to become reconverted. We
have no time to lose upon unimportant issues.—
Letter 46, 1910

Cooperation
In this effort in behalf of the cities, we greatly need the coopera-
tion of all classes of laborers. Especially do we need the help that the
physician can render as an evangelist. If ministers and physicians
will plan to unite in an effort to reach the honest-hearted ones in
our cities, the physicians, as well as the ministers, will be placed on
vantage ground. As they labor in humility God will open the way
before them, and many will receive a saving knowledge of truth.—
Manuscript 9, 1910.
Move Forward
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. Let us not wait before beginning this work until
