Medical Ministry in the Homes
91
Nothing can, or ever will, give character to the work in the pre-
sentation of truth to help the people just where they are so well as
Samaritan work. A work properly conducted to save poor sinners that
have been passed by the churches, will be the entering wedge whereby
the truth will find standing room. A different order of things needs to
be established among us as a people, and as this class of work is done,
there will be created an entirely different atmosphere surrounding the
souls of the workers; for the Holy Spirit communicates to all those who
are doing God’s service, and those who are worked by the Holy Spirit
will be a power for God in lifting up, strengthening, and saving the
souls that are ready to perish.—

Zeal and Perseverance Required—Could I arouse our people to
Christian effort, could I lead them to engage in medical missionary
work with holy zeal and divine perseverance, not in a few places, but in

attended with little success, apparently; but again, the Lord opens the
way, and signal success attends the effort. Words are spoken which are
as nails fastened in a sure place. Angels from heaven cooperate with
human instrumentalities, and sinners are won to the Saviour.—

to Paul and Apollos, which caused them to be distinguished for their

spiritual excellencies, can be received now, and will bring into working
order many devoted missionaries.—;

Do Not Wait—Workers—gospel medical missionaries—are
needed now. You cannot afford to spend years in preparation. Soon
doors now open to the truth will be forever closed. Carry the message
now. Do not wait, allowing the enemy to take possession of the fields
now open before you. Let little companies go forth to do the work to
which Christ appointed His disciples. Let them labor as evangelists,
scattering our publications, and talking of the truth to those they meet.
Let them pray for the sick, ministering to their necessities, not with
