beginning be made.—
The Review and Herald, June 21, 1906.

Manuscript

these workers in positions where they can educate other workers.
Then when our sanitariums and mission fields call for physicians,
we shall have young men who, through their experience gained
by practical work, have become fitted to bear responsibilities.—
