Christ’s Part and Ours
The Saviour’s work of ministering to suffering humanity was
always combined with His ministry of the word. He preached the
gospel and He healed infirmities both by the same mighty power.

He will do the same today; but we must do our part by bringing the
sick in touch with the Mighty Healer. The Saviour left the courts of
glory and came to our world to bear temptation and resist evil that
man might have power to take hold of His strength. The soul that
comes to Christ by living faith receives His power and is healed of
his disease.
Today we are combining the work of ministry and of healing as
we have never done before. We are working to educate our people
how to treat the body in sickness, how to regain health, and how to
keep well when health is restored.—

youth in attendance might learn to practice then. All our educators
should be strict health reformers. The Lord desires that genuine
missionaries shall go out as pioneers from our schools. They are
to be fully consecrated to the work as laborers together with God,
daily enlarging their sphere of usefulness and becoming more fully
sanctified through the truth. The influence of a consecrated medical
missionary teacher in our schools is invaluable.—

The Medical Student
While seeking a preparation for his lifework, the medical student
should be encouraged to attain the highest possible development
of all his powers. His studies, taxing though they are, need not
necessarily undermine his physical health or lessen his enjoyment of
spiritual things. Throughout his course of study he may continually
grow in grace and in a knowledge of truth, while at the same time he
