receiving and practicing His teachings, making His words a part of
their lives. Those who place themselves under the instruction of the
great Medical Missionary, to be workers together with Him, will have a
knowledge that the world, with all its traditionary lore, cannot supply.
Make the Bible the man of your counsel. Your acquaintance with
it will grow rapidly if you keep your mind free from the rubbish of
the world. The more the Bible is studied, the deeper will be your
knowledge of God. The truths of His word will be written in your soul,
making an ineffaceable impression.

Not only will the student himself be benefited by a study of the
word of God. His study is life and salvation to all with whom he
associates. He will feel a sacred responsibility to impart the knowledge
that he receives. His life will reveal the help and strength that he
receives from communion with the word. The sanctification of the
Spirit will be seen in thought, word, and deed. All that he says and
does will proclaim that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.
Of such ones the Lord Jesus can indeed say, “Ye are laborers together
with God.”
