A Call to Medical Evangelism and Health Education
help work is one means of bringing this about, for the Holy Spirit
communicates with all who are doing God’s service.—

Keeping Our Souls Alive
There is a great variety of work, adapted to different minds and
varied capabilities. In the day of God not one will be excused for being
[26]
shut up to his own selfish interests. And it is by working for others
that you will keep your own souls alive.
Do you shrink from this work because there is a cross connected
with it? Remember that self must be denied if you would win Christ.
Earnest, unselfish effort will garner sheaves for Jesus. The humble
worker who obediently responds to the call of God, may be sure of
receiving divine assistance. The Lord is a mighty helper. If the workers
will rely wholly upon Him, He will accomplish a great work through
them.—

Use Your Humble Talent
Begin to do medical missionary work with the conveniences which
you have at hand. You will find that thus the way will open for you to
hold Bible readings. The heavenly Father will place you in connection
with those who need to know how to treat their sick ones. Put into
practice what you know regarding the treatment of disease. Thus
suffering will be relieved, and you will have opportunity to break the
bread of life to starving souls.
It is the duty of Christians to convince the world that the religion
of Christ disrobes the soul of the garments of heaviness and mourning
and clothes it with joy and gladness. Those who receive Christ as a
sin-pardoning Saviour are clothed with His garments of light. He takes
away their sin and imparts to them His righteousness. Their joy is full.
Who have better right than Christians to sing songs of rejoicing?
Have they not the expectation of being members of the royal family,
children of the heavenly King? Is not the gospel good tidings of great
joy? When the promises of God are freely and fully accepted, heaven’s
brightness is brought into the life....
