enable them to pass the examinations required by law of all who
practice as regularly qualified physicians, we are to supply whatever
[58]
may be required, so that these youth need not be compelled to go
to medical schools conducted by men not of our faith. Thus we
shall close a door that the enemy would be pleased to have left open;
and our young men and young women, whose spiritual interests the
Lord desires us to safeguard, will not feel compelled to connect with
unbelievers in order to obtain a thorough training along medical
lines.—

The Wisest Talent Called For
Loma Linda has been specified to me as a very important place,
and one which demands the best Bible teacher we can supply. There
are promising youth here who are to be qualified to fill important
positions in the work. They should have the best class of instructors,
and capable Bible teachers who understand the truths of the word.
The truth and righteousness revealed in the word of God is to be the
stronghold of our workers.
There has been given to me an outline of the work that must be
done at Loma Linda, and I know that we must give to that place our
best labors. The Lord wants the wisest talent there, for by means
of our very best educational talent we are to train our ministerial
laborers. The work is to be carried after the Lord’s order, and not
according to the suppositions of men.
The Lord has given us a wonderful advantage in enabling us to
secure Loma Linda for the establishment of the work in progress
there. A school is to be built up at Loma Linda that will train Bible
workers and missionary nurses for efficient service.—

The Classes of Workers to Be Trained
The cause of God today would have been far in advance of what
it is, had we in former years been more active in the training of
nurses who, in addition to their acquirement of more than ordinary
skill in the care of the sick, had also learned to labor as evangelists
in soul-winning service.
