Counsels on Health
To prepare to receive the higher education in the school above is now
to be our purpose.
From the instruction that the Lord has given me from time to time,
I know that there should be workers who make medical evangelistic
tours among the towns and villages. Those who do this work will
gather a rich harvest of souls, from both the higher and lower classes.
The way for this work is best prepared by the efforts of the faithful
canvasser.
Many will be called into the field to labor from house to house,
giving Bible readings, and praying with those who are interested.
Let our ministers, who have gained an experience in preaching the
word, learn how to give simple treatments and then labor intelligently
as medical missionary evangelists.
An Urgent Work
Workers—gospel medical missionaries—are needed now. You
cannot afford to spend years in preparation. Soon doors now open to
the truth will be forever closed. Carry the message now. Do not wait,
allowing the enemy to take possession of the fields now open before
you. Let little companies go forth to do the work to which Christ
appointed His disciples. Let them labor as evangelists, scattering our
publications and talking of the truth to those they meet. Let them pray
for the sick, ministering to their necessities, not with drugs, but with
nature’s remedies, and teaching them how to regain health and avoid
disease.
