Medical Ministry
the mercy seat. He desires the light of His grace to shine forth
from many places. We are living in the last days. Troublous times
are before us. He who understands the necessities of the situation
arranges that advantages should be brought to the workers in various
places, to enable them more effectually to arouse the attention of the
people. He knows the needs and the necessities of the feeblest of
His flock, and He sends His own message into the highways and the
byways. He loves us with an everlasting love....
The Light to Shine
In our sanitariums the truth is to be cherished, not banished
or hidden from sight. The light is to shine forth in clear, distinct
[327]
rays. These institutions are the Lord’s facilities for the revival of
pure, elevated morality. We do not establish them as a speculative
business, but to help men and women to follow right habits of living.
Christ, the great Medical Missionary, is no longer in our world
in person. But He has not left the world in darkness. To His subjects
He has given the commission, “Go ye into all the world, and preach
the gospel to every creature,” “teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world.” The great questions of Bible truth
are to enter into the very heart of society, to reform and convert men
and women, bringing them to see the great necessity of preparing
for the mansions that Christ told His disciples He would prepare for
those that love Him....
A United Work
Our work is to gain a knowledge of Him who is the way, the
truth, and the life. We are to interest people in the subjects that
concern the health of the body, as well as in the subjects that concern
the health of the soul. Believers have a decided message to bear to
prepare the way for the kingdom of God. The will of the Lord is to be
done on earth. We have not one moment to spend in idle speculation.
“Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make His paths straight,” is the
message that we are to proclaim. Amidst all the confusion that now
fills the world, a clear, decided message is to be heard.
