        sanctify you.” “The children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe
      
      
        the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant. It
      
      
        is a sign between Me and the children of Israel forever.”
      
      
         Exodus 31:13,

        .
      
      
        Let us diligently study God’s word, that we may proclaim with
      
      
        power the message that is to be given in these last days. Many of
      
      
        those upon whom the light of the Saviour’s self-sacrificing life is
      
      
        shining refuse to live a life in accordance with His will. They are not
      
      
        willing to live a life of sacrifice for the good of others. They desire to
      
      
        exalt themselves. To such ones truth and righteousness have lost their
      
      
        meaning, and their un-Christlike influence leads many to turn away
      
      
        from the Saviour. God calls for true, steadfast workers, whose lives
      
      
        will counteract the influence of those who are working against Him.
      
      
        Follow Your Leader
      
      
        To every medical missionary worker I am instructed to say, Follow
      
      
        your Leader. He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He is your
      
      
        example. Upon all medical missionary workers rests the responsibility
      
      
        of keeping in view Christ’s life of unselfish service. They are to keep
      
      
        their eyes fixed on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of their faith. He is
      
      
        the source of all light, the fountain of all blessing.
