Counsels on Health
being developed. We cannot afford to spend the time working at
cross-purposes with God.
There are physicians who, because of a past connection with our
sanitariums, find it profitable to locate close to these institutions; and
they close their eyes to the great field, neglected and unworked, in
which unselfish labor would be a blessing to many. Missionary physi-
cians can exert an uplifting, refining, sanctifying influence. Physicians
who do not do this abuse their power and do a work that the Lord
repudiates.
Training for a Quick Work
If ever the Lord has spoken by me, He speaks when I say that
the workers engaged in educational lines, in ministerial lines, and in
medical missionary lines, must stand as a unit, all laboring under the
[395]
supervision of God, one helping the other, each blessing each.
Those connected with our schools and sanitariums are to labor
with earnest alacrity. The work that is done under the ministration of
the Holy Spirit, out of love for God and for humanity, will bear the
divine signature and will make its impression of human minds.
The Lord calls upon our young people to enter our schools and
quickly fit themselves for service. In various places, outside of cities,
schools are to be established where our youth can receive an education
that will prepare them to go forth to do evangelical work and medical
missionary work.
The Lord must be given an opportunity to show men their duty and
to work upon their minds. No one is to bind himself to serve for a term
of years under the direction of one group of men or in one specified
branch of the Master’s work, for the Lord Himself will call men, as
of old He called the humble fishermen, and will Himself give them
instruction regarding their field of labor and the methods they should
follow. He will call men from the plow and from other occupations, to
give the last note of warning to perishing souls. There are many ways
in which to work for the Master, and the Great Teacher will open the
understanding of these workers, enabling them to see wondrous things
in His word.
