Medical Ministry
Teachers are to be prepared for many lines of work. Schools are
to be established in places where no efforts have been made.... Truth,

righteousness will prevail among us. We will esteem as of highest
value the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight
of God of great price.—

every talent of every worker should be regarded as a sacred trust

me that our sisters who have received a training that has fitted them
for positions of responsibility are to serve with faithfulness and
discernment in their calling, using their influence wisely and, with
their brethren in the faith, obtaining an experience that will fit them
for still greater usefulness....
In ancient times the Lord worked in a wonderful way through
consecrated women who united in His work with men whom He had
