Plea For Medical Missionary Evangelists
147
gelistic tours among the towns and villages. Those who do this work
will gather a rich harvest of souls from both the higher and lower
classes. The way for this work is best prepared by the efforts of the
faithful canvasser.
Many will be called into the field to labor from house to house,
giving Bible readings and praying with those who are interested.
Let our ministers, who have gained an experience in preach-
ing the word, learn how to give simple treatments and then labor
intelligently as medical missionary evangelists.
Workers—gospel medical missionaries—are needed now. You
cannot afford to spend years in preparation. Soon doors now open to
the truth will be forever closed. Carry the message now. Do not wait,
allowing the enemy to take possession of the fields now open before
you. Let little companies go forth to do the work to which Christ
appointed His disciples. Let them labor as evangelists, scattering our
publications and talking of the truth to those they meet. Let them
pray for the sick, ministering to their necessities, not with drugs, but
with nature’s remedies, and teaching them how to regain health and
avoid disease.
