Teachers are needed, especially for the children, who are calm and
kind, manifesting forbearance and love for the very ones who most
need it.... Our church schools need teachers who have high moral
qualities; those who can be trusted; those who are sound in the faith,
and who have tact and patience; those who walk with God, and abstain
[222]
from the very appearance of evil.—

Business
The Lord desires to have in His service intelligent men, men quali-
fied for various lines of work. There is need of business men who will
weave the grand principles of truth into all their transactions. And their
talents should be perfected by most thorough study and training. If
men in any line of work need to improve their opportunities to become
wise and efficient, it is those who are using their ability in building up
the kingdom of God in our world. Of Daniel we learn that in all his
business transactions, when subjected to the closest scrutiny, not one
fault or error could be found. He was a sample of what every business
man may be. His history shows what may be accomplished by one
who consecrates the strength of brain and bone and muscle, of heart
and life, to the service of God.—

the faithful, God-fearing physician. There is no field where a man may
accomplish greater good, or win more jewels to shine in the crown of
his rejoicing. He may carry the grace of Christ, as a sweet perfume,
into all the sick-rooms he enters; he may carry the true healing balm
[223]
to the sin-sick soul. He can point the sick and dying to the Lamb of
God that taketh away the sin of the world. He should not listen to
the suggestion that it is dangerous to speak of their eternal interests
to those who lives are in peril, lest it should make them worse; for in
nine cases out of ten the knowledge of a sin-pardoning Saviour would
make them better both in mind and body. Jesus can limit the power of
Satan. He is the physician in whom the sin-sick soul may trust to heal
