souls, showing them that this is to be done, not by much talking, but
by a consistent, Christlike life. The workers are exposed to worldly
influences, but instead of being molded by these influences, they should

and refines. Thus they will learn how to meet unbelievers, and how to
exert an influence that will win them to Christ.
Channels of Blessing
Cooranbong, N.S.W., August 28, 1895. God has a work for every
believer who labors in the sanitarium. Every nurse is to be a channel
of blessing, receiving light from above and letting it shine forth to
others. The workers are not to conform to fashionable display of
those who come to the sanitarium for treatment, but are to consecrate
themselves to God. The atmosphere that surrounds their souls is to
be a savor of life unto life. Temptations will beset them on every
side, but let them ask God for His presence and guidance. The Lord
said to Moses: “Certainly I will be with thee;” and to every faithful,
consecrated worker the same assurance is given.
