Co-operation Between Schools and Sanitariums
It is well that our training schools for Christian workers should be
established near to our health institutions, that the students may be
educated in the principles of healthful living. Institutions that send
forth workers who are able to give a reason for their faith, and who
have a faith which works by love and purifies the soul, are of great
value. I have clear instruction that, wherever it is possible, schools
should be established near to our sanitariums, that each institution
may be a help and strength to the other. He who created man has
an interest in those who suffer. He has directed in the establishment
of our sanitariums and in the building up of our schools close to our
sanitariums, that they may become efficient mediums in training men
and women for the work of ministering to suffering humanity.
Let Seventh-day Adventist medical workers remember that the
Lord God omnipotent reigneth. Christ was the greatest Physician that
ever trod this sin-cursed earth. The Lord would have His people come
to Him for their power of healing. He will baptize them with His
Holy Spirit and fit them for service that will make them a blessing in
restoring the spiritual and physical health of those who need healing....
The Lord would have the workers make special efforts to point
the sick and suffering to the Great Physician who made the human
body.—
