Plea for Medical Missionaries

work we are to do our very best. Institutions for the care of the sick
are to be established where men and women suffering from disease
may be placed under the care of God-fearing physicians and nurses
and be treated without drugs.
I have been instructed that we are not to delay to do the work that
needs to be done in health reform lines. Through this work we are to
reach souls in the highways and byways. I have been given special
light that in our sanitariums many souls will receive and obey present

let us go forward, improving every opportunity to extend the work of
God.
The Lord speaks to all medical missionaries, saying, Go, work
today in My vineyard to save souls. God hears the prayers of all who
seek Him in truth. He has the power that we all need. He fills the
heart with love and joy and peace and holiness. Character is constantly
