stantly coming and going, special and continuous efforts should be
put forth to scatter the bright rays of light and truth. The books
Min-
istry of Healing
and
Christ’s Object Lessons
are peculiarly adapted
[85]
for use in tourist centers, and everything possible should be done to
place copies of these works in the hands of those who have leisure
and inclination to read. Especially do those who are seeking for
restoration of health need the book
Ministry of Healing

My heart has rejoiced as I have learned of a revival of the relief
work in Southern California during the past few months. At Loma
Linda some of the nurses have been given a special training for the
work of selling
Ministry of Healing
; and as they have visited homes
in the neighboring cities and villages, the blessing of heaven has
rested richly upon them, and favorable impressions have been made
in behalf of our people and their work.
At the Fernando school the teachers have recently led out in
reviving an interest in the sale of

work is, in fact, one of the means God has ordained for giving our
youth a missionary training; and those who neglect to improve such
opportunities lose out of their lives a chapter of experience of the
highest value. By entering heartily into this work, students can learn
how to approach with tact and discretion men and women in all
walks of life, how to deal with them courteously, and how to lead
them to give favorable consideration to the truths contained in the
books that are sold.
Our greatest burden should be, not the raising of money, but the
salvation of souls; and to this end we should do all in our power to
teach students how to lead souls to a knowledge of the third angel’s
[86]
message. When we are successful in the work of soulsaving, those
who are added to the faith will, in turn, use their ability in giving
the truth to others. When we labor diligently for the salvation of our
fellow men, God will prosper our every effort.
To the presidents of conferences, and to others in positions of
leading responsibility, I would say: Let us do all in our power to
impress upon the teachers connected with our educational institu-
