Plea For Medical Missionary Evangelists

constantly being developed. We cannot afford to spend the time
working at cross-purposes with God.
There are physicians who, because of a past connection with our
sanitariums, find it profitable to locate close to these institutions;
and they close their eyes to the great field, neglected and unworked,
in which unselfish labor would be a blessing to many. Missionary
physicians can exert an uplifting, refining, sanctifying influence.
Physicians who do not do this abuse their power and do a work that
the Lord repudiates.
The Training of Workers
If ever the Lord has spoken by me, He speaks when I say that
the workers engaged in educational lines, in ministerial lines, and in
[170]
medical missionary lines must stand as a unit, all laboring under the
supervision of God, one helping the other, each blessing each.
Those connected with our schools and sanitariums are to labor
with earnest alacrity. The work that is done under the ministration
of the Holy Spirit, out of love for God and for humanity, will bear
the divine signature and will make its impression on human minds.
The Lord calls upon our young people to enter our schools and
quickly fit themselves for service. In various places outside of
cities, schools are to be established where our youth can receive an
education that will prepare them to go forth to do evangelical work
and medical missionary work.
The Lord must be given an opportunity to show men their duty
and to work upon their minds. No one is to bind himself to serve
for a term of years under the direction of one group of men or in
one specified branch of the Master’s work; for the Lord Himself
will call men, as of old He called the humble fishermen, and will
Himself give them instruction regarding their field of labor and the
methods they should follow. He will call men from the plow and
from other occupations to give the last note of warning to perishing
souls. There are many ways in which to work for the Master, and
the Great Teacher will open the understanding of these workers,
enabling them to see wondrous things in His word.
