A Call to Medical Evangelism and Health Education
inseparable union, even as the hand is joined to the body. Those in
our institutions are to give evidence that they understand their part in
the genuine gospel medical missionary work. A solemn dignity is to
characterize genuine medical missionaries. They are to be men who
understand and know God and the power of His grace.—
Letter 102,

Successful evangelistic work can be done in connection with med-
ical missionary work. It is as these lines of work are united that we
may expect to gather the most precious fruit for the Lord.—

The presenting of Bible principles by an intelligent physician will
have great weight with many people. There is efficiency and power
with one who can combine in his influence the work of a physician and
of a gospel minister. His work commends itself to the good judgment
of the people.—

Education for Medical Missionary Work
The education of students in medical missionary lines is not com-
plete unless they are trained to work in connection with the church and
the ministry.—

The medical missionary workers are to be purified, sanctified,
ennobled. They are to rise to the highest point of excellence. They are
to be molded and fashioned after the divine similitude. Then they will
see that health reform and medical missionary work are to be bound up
with the preaching of the gospel.—
