Medical Ministry
show an interest in the salvation of their souls. Arouse every spiritual
energy to action. Tell those whom you visit that the end of all things
is at hand. The Lord Jesus Christ will open the door of their hearts,
and will make lasting impressions upon their minds.
Strive to arouse men and women from their spiritual insensibility.
Tell them how you found Jesus, and how blessed you have been since
you gained an experience in His service. Tell them what blessing
comes to you as you sit at the feet of Jesus and learn precious lessons
from His word. Tell them of the gladness and joy that are found
in the Christian life. Your warm, fervent words will convince them
that you have found the pearl of great price. Let your cheerful,
encouraging words show that you have certainly found the higher
education. This is genuine missionary work, and as it is done, many
will awake as from a dream.
Listen to the voice of Jesus as it comes sounding down along the
line to our time, addressing the professed Christian who stands idle
[333]
in the marketplace: “Why stand ye here all the day idle? ... Go ye
also into the vineyard.” Work while it is day; for the night cometh,
in which no man can work....
A Time of Overwhelming Interest
Soon strife among the nations will break out with an intensity
that we do not now anticipate. The present is a time of overwhelming
interest to all living. Rulers and statesmen, men who occupy posi-
tions of trust and authority, thinking men and women of all classes,
have their attention fixed upon the events taking place about us.
They are watching the strained, restless relations that exist among
the nations. They observe the intensity that is taking possession
of every earthly element, and they realize that something great and
decisive is about to take place, that the world is on the verge of a
stupendous crisis.
A moment of respite has been graciously given us of God. Every
power lent us of Heaven is now to be used in working for those
perishing in ignorance. There must be no delay. The truth must be
proclaimed in the dark places of the earth. Obstacles must be met
and surmounted. A great work is to be done, and to those who know
the truth for this time, this work has been entrusted.
