Medical Ministry
Safeguard the Youth
Great care should be taken in working for the outcasts. Neither
young men nor young women should be sent into the lowest places
of our cities. The sight of the eyes and the hearing of the ears of
young men and women should be kept from evil. There is much
that the youth can do for the Master. If they will watch and pray
and make God their trust, they will be prepared to do various kinds
of excellent work under the supervision of experienced laborers.—
Manuscript 33, 1901.

Difficulties Overcome
In visions of the night I was shown the difficulties that must be
met in the work of warning the people in the cities; but in spite of
difficulties and discouragements, efforts should be made to preach
the truth to all classes....
The Lord desires His people to arise and do their appointed
work. The responsibility of warning the world rests not upon the
ministry alone. The lay members of the church are to share in the
work of soul saving. By means of missionary visits and by a wise
distribution of our literature, many who have never been warned
may be reached. Let companies be organized to search for souls.
Let the church members visit their neighbors and open to them the
Scriptures. Some may be set to work in the hedges, and thus, by
wise planning, the truth may be preached in all districts.
With perseverance in this work, increasing aptitude for it will
come, and many will see fruit of their labors in the salvation of souls.
These converted ones will, in turn, teach others. Thus the seed will
be sown in many places, and the truth be proclaimed to all.—
The
Review and Herald, January 25, 1912.
