Medical Ministry
I have been instructed that we are not to delay to do the work
that needs to be done in health-reform lines. Through this work
we are to reach souls in the highways and the byways. I have been
given special light that in our sanitariums many souls will receive
and obey present truth. In these institutions men and women are to
be taught how to care for their own bodies, and at the same time how
to become sound in the faith. They are to be taught what is meant
by eating the flesh and drinking the blood of the Son of God. Said
Christ, “The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they
are life.”
[325]
Sanitariums to Educate
Our sanitariums are to be schools in which instruction shall be
given in medical missionary lines. They are to bring to sin-sick souls
the leaves of the tree of life, which will restore to them peace and
hope and faith in Christ Jesus. Forbid not those who have a desire
to extend this work. Let the light shine forth. All worthy health
productions will create an interest in health reform. Forbid them
not. The Lord would have all opportunities to extend the work taken
advantage of....
In every large city there should be a representation of true medi-
cal missionary work. The principles of genuine health reform are
to be brought out in clear lines, in our health publications, and in
lectures delivered to the patients in our sanitariums. In every city
there are men and women who would go to a sanitarium were it near
at hand, who would not be able to go to one a long way off. There
are many who will be convicted and converted, who now appear
indifferent. I look at this matter in a very decided light.
Let many now ask, “Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?” It is
the Lord’s purpose that His method of healing without drugs shall
be brought into prominence in every large city through our medical
institutions. God invests with holy dignity those who go forth in
His power to heal the sick. Let the light shine forth farther and still
farther, in every place to which it is possible to obtain entrance.
Satan will make the work as difficult as possible, but divine power
will attend all truehearted workers. Guided by our heavenly Father’s
