Section 2—The Divine Plan in the Medical Missionary Work

eyes from everything else, and look unto Jesus, the Author and the
Finisher of their faith. He is the Source of all light, the Fountain of
all heaven’s blessings. To every medical missionary worker I am
[22]
instructed to say, Follow your Leader. His is the way, the truth, the
light, the life. He is the One whose example we as true medical
missionaries must follow.
In this age of diseased piety and perverted principle, those who
are converted in life and practice will reveal a healthy and influential
spirituality. Those who have a knowledge of the truth as it is revealed
in God’s word must now come to the front. My brethren, God
requires this of you. Every jot of your influence is now to be used
on the right side. All are now to learn how to stand in defense of
truth that is worthy of acceptance. Those who are endeavoring to
live the Christ life must call things by the right name, and stand in
defense of the truth as it is in Jesus.
Time to Advance
It behooves every soul whose life is hid with Christ in God to
come to the front now. Something is to be done. We are to contend
most earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints. The spirit
in which truth is defended and the kingdom of God advanced must
be as it would be if Christ were on this earth in person. If He were
here, He would be drawn out to render a solemn rebuke to many
who claim to be medical missionaries, but who have not chosen
to heed the injunction He has urged upon them, to learn of Him
His meekness and lowliness of heart. In the lives of some of those
who occupy the highest positions, self has been exalted. Until such
ones rid themselves of every desire to uplift self, they cannot clearly
discern the character and glory of the great Medical Missionary....
We are now to unify, and by true medical missionary work pre-
pare the way for our coming King. Let us increase in a knowledge
of the truth, and render all excellence and glory due to Him who
is one with the Father. Let us seek most earnestly for the heavenly
anointing, the Holy Spirit.—
