The world needs today what it needed


nineteen hundred years ago--a revelation of
Christ. A great work of reform is demanded,
and it is only through the grace of Christ that
the work of restoration, physical, mental,

weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the
likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the

fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the
Spirit.

That perfection of character which the Lord requires is the fitting
up of the whole being as a temple for the indwelling of the Holy
Spirit. God will accept of nothing less than the service of the entire
human organism. It is not enough to bring into action certain parts of
the living machinery. All parts must work in perfect harmony, or the
service will be deficient. It is thus that man is qualified to cooperate
with God in representing Christ to the world. Thus God desires to
prepare a people to stand before Him pure and holy, that He may
introduce them into the society of heavenly angels. {OFC 108.2}

Cholinga cha Maphunziro Oona
To restore in man the image of his Maker, to bring him back to the perfection
in which he was created, to promote the development of body, mind, and
soul, that the divine purpose in his creation might be realized--this was to be
the work of redemption. This is the object of education, the great object of
life. {Ed 15.2}
The first and great commandment is, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with
all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy
mind." Luke 10:27. To love Him, the infinite, the omniscient One, with the
whole strength, and mind, and heart, means the highest development of
every power. It means that in the whole being--the body, the mind, as well as
the soul--the image of God is to be restored. {Ed 16.1}
Like the first is the second commandment--"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as
thyself." Matthew 22:39. The law of love calls for the devotion of body, mind,
and soul to the service of God and our fellow men. And this service, while
making us a blessing to others, brings the greatest blessing to ourselves.
Unselfishness underlies all true development. Through unselfish service we
receive the highest culture of every faculty. {Ed 16.2}

A Demonstrated Revelation
No verbal description could reveal God to the world.
Through a life of purity, a life of perfect trust and
submission to the will of God, a life of humiliation
such as even the highest seraph in heaven would
have shrunk from, God Himself must be revealed to
humanity. In order to do this, our Saviour clothed
His divinity with humanity. He employed the human
faculties, for only by adopting these could He be
comprehended by humanity. Only humanity could
reach humanity. He lived out the character of God
through the body which God had prepared for Him.

• Christ gave a perfect representation of true
godliness by combining the work of a
physician and a minister, ministering to the
needs of both body and soul, healing physical
disease, and then speaking words that
brought peace to the troubled heart. {Review
& Herald, June 9, 1904 par. 7}

• Christ has empowered his church to do the


same work that he did during his ministry.
{Review & Herald, June 9, 1904 par. 8}
Revival of True Godliness

• A revival of true godliness among us is the


greatest and most urgent of all our needs. We
must have the holy unction from God, the
baptism of his Spirit. This is the only efficient
agent in the promulgation of sacred truth.
{HM, November 1, 1890 par. 26}

It is those who, with love for God and

others, that become established,
strengthened, settled, in the truth. The
true Christian works for God, not from

or a month, but during the entire life.

• Medical missionary work is the pioneer work.
It is to be connected with the gospel ministry.
It is the gospel in practice, the gospel
practically carried out. {General Conference
Bulletin, April 12, 1901 par. 11}
• …I know that medical missionary work is the
gospel, in practice, and, as the Lord has
declared, is never, never to be separated
from the gospel ministry. {General
Conference Bulletin, April 12, 1901 par. 32}
Chibvumbulutso cha Yesu
Medical missionary work is in no case to be divorced from
the gospel ministry. The Lord has specified that the two shall
be as closely connected as the arm is with the body. Without
this union neither part of the work is complete. The medical
missionary work is the gospel in illustration. {6T 240.3}
You have been long in the truth. Had you carried the work
forward in the lines in which God intended you to, had you
done medical missionary work, trying to heal soul and body,
you would have seen hundreds and thousands coming into
the truth. …Go to places where the people have not heard
the truth, and live before them the gospel of Jesus Christ. Do
among them practical missionary work. Thus many souls
will be brought to a knowledge of the truth. {General
Conference Bulletin, April 12, 1901 par. 22}
Heart Work
The world needs today what it needed
nineteen hundred years ago--a
revelation of Christ. A great work of
reform is demanded, and it is only
through the grace of Christ that the
work of restoration, physical, mental,
and spiritual, can be accomplished.
{Ministry of Healing 143.2}
God desires His people to bind medical missionary work up with the
work of the third angel’s message. This is the work that will restore
the moral image of God in man. (MM 160)
Truth, precious truth from the Word of God, is to be presented, both in public
and in house-to-house visitation. We have a message that is to prepare a people to
stand amid the perils of the last days, and in proclaiming this message we need
many men and women filled with the Holy Spirit and with a knowledge of God's
Word. {RH, October 4, 1906 par. 22}
[The] most solemn and fearful warnings ever sent by God to man,
have been committed to them to be given to the world; and in the
accomplishment of this work our publishing houses are among the
most effective agencies. The publications sent forth from our printing
houses are to prepare a people to meet God.{CCh 72.1}
To restore in man the image of his Maker, to bring him back to the
perfection in which he was created, to promote the development of
body, mind, and soul, that the divine purpose in his creation might be
realized--this was to be the work of redemption. This is the object of
education, the great object of life. {Ed 15.2}
The Preparation
God's purpose in giving the third angel's
message to the world is to prepare a people to
stand true to Him during the investigative
judgment. This is the purpose for which we
establish and maintain our publishing houses,
our schools, our sanitariums, hygienic
restaurants, treatment rooms, and food
factories. This is our purpose in carrying
forward every line of work in the cause. Ms
154, 1902, p. 4. ("Instruction to Men in Positions
of Responsibility," October 24, 1902.) {1MR
228.2}
Agencies
God works by means of instruments, or second causes. He uses
the gospel ministry, medical missionary work, and the
publications containing present truth to impress hearts. All are
made effectual by means of faith. As the truth is heard or read, the
Holy Spirit sends it home to those who hear and read with an
earnest desire to know what is right. The gospel ministry,
medical missionary work, and our publications are God's
agencies. One is not to supersede the other. {13MR 303.1}
Let the living gospel be taught in our schools…By the ministry
of the word the gospel is preached; by medical missionary
work the gospel is practiced. The gospel is bound up with
medical missionary work. Neither is to stand alone, bound up
in itself. The workers in each are to labor unselfishly and
unitedly, striving to save sinners.--Letter 55, 1903, pp. 4, 5.
{13MR 303.2}
Njira Zosiyanasiyana Mogwirizana
• In connection with the proclamation of the message
in large cities, there are many kinds of work to be
done by laborers with varied gifts. Some are to
labor in one way, some in another. The Lord desires
that the cities shall be worked by the united efforts
of laborers of different capabilities. All are to look to
Jesus for direction, not depending on man for
wisdom, lest they be led astray. As laborers together
with God they should seek to be in harmony with
one another. There should be frequent councils and
earnest, wholehearted co-operation. {9T 109.1}
• Those who do the work of the Lord in the cities
must put forth calm, steady, devoted effort for the
education of the people. {9T 109.3}

• As was his custom, Paul had begun his work at
Ephesus by preaching in the synagogue of the Jews. He
continued to labor there for three months, "disputing
and persuading the things concerning the kingdom of
God." At first he met with a favorable reception; but as
in other fields, he was soon violently opposed. "Divers
were hardened, and believed not, but spake evil of that
way before the multitude." As they persisted in their
rejection of the gospel, the apostle ceased to preach in
the synagogue. {AA 285.2}

• The apostle Paul, in his labors at Ephesus, was given special tokens of divine
favor. The power of God accompanied his efforts, and many were healed of
physical maladies. "God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: so that
from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the
diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them." These
manifestations of supernatural power were far more potent than had ever
before been witnessed in Ephesus, and were of such a character that they could
not be imitated by the skill of the juggler or the enchantments of the sorcerer.
As these miracles were wrought in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, the people
had opportunity to see that the God of heaven was more powerful than the
magicians who were worshipers of the goddess Diana. Thus the Lord exalted His
servant, even before the idolaters themselves, immeasurably above the most
powerful and favored of the magicians. {AA 286.4}

Chikhristu cha Pamwamba
The apostle (Paul) would also give an example
to the Christian ministry, dignifying and
honoring industry. While thus preaching and
working, he presented the highest type of
Christianity. He combined teaching with his
labor; and while toiling with those of his trade,
he instructed them concerning the way of
salvation. In pursuing this course, he had access
to many whom he could not otherwise have
reached. {LP 101.1}
Melrose, New England
We hope that those in charge of the work in New England will co-operate with
the Melrose sanitarium managers in taking aggressive steps to do the work that
should be done in Boston. A hundred workers could be laboring to advantage in
different portions of the city, in varied lines of service. {SpTB13 12.3}
The terrible disasters that are befalling great cities, ought to arouse us to
intense activity in giving the warning message to the people in these congested
centers of population, while we still have an opportunity. The most favorable
time for the presentation of our message in the cities, has passed by. Sin and
wickedness are rapidly increasing; and now we shall have to redeem the time
by laboring all the more earnestly. {SpTB13 13.1}
The medical missionary work is a door through which the truth is to find
entrance to many homes in the cities. In every city will be found those who will
appreciate the truths of the third angel's message. The judgments of God are
impending. Why do we not awaken to the peril threatening the men and
women living in the great cities of America? Our people do not realize as keenly
as they should the responsibility resting upon them to proclaim the truth to the
millions dwelling in these unwarned cities. {SpTB13 13.2} May 15, 1906.
Centres of Influence

We must do more than we have done


to reach the people of our cities. We
are not to erect large buildings in the
cities, but over and over again the
light has been given me that we
should establish in all our cities small
plants which shall be centers of
influence. {HFM 15.1}
Centres of Influence
They will fulfill His purpose by helping to create centers
of influence in the large cities. Interested workers will
be led to offer themselves for various lines of
missionary effort. Hygienic restaurants will be
established. But with what carefulness should this work
be done! {HFM 12.2}
Every hygienic restaurant should be a school. The
workers connected with it should be constantly
studying and experimenting, that they may make
improvement in the preparation of healthful foods. In
the cities this work of instruction may be carried
forward on a much larger scale than in smaller places.
{HFM 12.3}
Sanitariums and Restaurants
God has declared that sanitariums and hygienic
restaurants should be established for the purpose of
making known to the world His law. The closing of our
restaurants on the Sabbath is to be a witness that there is
a people who will not for worldly gain, or to please
people, disregard God's holy rest day. These restaurants
are to be established in our cities to bring the truth before
many who are engrossed in the business and pleasure of
this world. Many of these are professed Christians, but are
"lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God." These are to
know that God has a people who fear Him and keep His
commandments. They are to be taught how to choose and
prepare the simple food that is best suited to nourish the
body and preserve the health.--MS. 115, 1903. {MM 306.1}
Medical and Surgical Work
Sanitariums are needed, in which successful
medical and surgical work can be done. Those
institutions, conducted in accordance with the
will of God, would remove prejudice and call
our work into favorable notice. The highest aim
of the workers in these institutions is to be the
spiritual health to the patients. Successful
evangelistic work can be done in connection
with medical missionary work. It is as these
lines of work are united that we may expect to
gather the most precious fruit for the Lord.--
Letter 202, 1903. {MM 26.6}
Madotolo
Physicians whose professional abilities are
above those of the ordinary doctor should
engage in the service of God in the large cities.
They should seek to reach the higher classes.
Something is being done in this line in San
Francisco, but much more should be done. Let
there be no misconception of the nature and
the importance of these enterprises. San
Francisco is a large field and an important
portion of the Lord's vineyard. {HFM 11.4}
Chimodzi mwa Zolinga
I have been instructed that one of the principal
reasons why hygienic restaurants and treatment-
rooms should be established in the centers of large
cities is that by this means the attention of leading
men will be called to the third angel's message.
Noticing that these restaurants are conducted in a
way altogether different from the way in which
ordinary restaurants are conducted, men of
intelligence will begin to inquire into the reasons for
the difference in business methods, and will
investigate the principles that lead us to serve
superior food. Thus they will be led to a knowledge
of the message for this time. {TSDF 110.11}
Restaurants and Treatment Rooms
Health restaurants and treatment-rooms
should be established. Our efforts in these
lines should include the great seaside
resorts. As the voice of John the Baptist
was heard in the wilderness, "Prepare ye
the way of the Lord," so must the voice of
the Lord's messengers be heard in the
great tourist and seaside resorts.--
Testimonies, vol. 7, pp. 55, 56. {ChS 127.3}
Food Stores and Restaurants
From the record of the Lord's miracles in providing wine at
the wedding feast and in feeding the multitude, we may
learn a lesson of the highest importance. The health food
business is one of the Lord's own instrumentalities to
supply a necessity. The heavenly Provider of all foods will
not leave His people in ignorance in regard to the
preparation of the best foods for all times and occasions.
{HFM 14.3}
In this movement I can see that industries may be
established which will help the cause in the Southern field.
And centers of influence may be established in many places
by the opening up of food stores and restaurants. All that
men as missionaries for God can do for the Southern field,
should be done. {HFM 55.4}
Ntchito Yovomerezeka
Those who are engaged in the work of preparing health
foods are just as much in the service of God as if they
were in the dentistry business or in the medical
missionary work. As you help to prepare health foods,
you are doing God's service. . . . {HFM 49.1}
When you have thoroughly mastered your present trade,
you will be able to do good service in teaching the people
how to prepare healthful food. This line of work is as
essential as any work you could take up. It is a most
important education for young men and young women;
for in the future this class of work will find acceptance
where many other kinds of work will not be acceptable. -
Letter 151, 1900. Written November 20, 1900. {HFM 49.2}
Njira Yofikira Anthu
Those who claim to be Christians do not do half that they might
for the Master. Beside all waters the seed of truth is to be sown.
Our restaurants and food stores must be made a means of
enlightening minds. Let the workers have at hand leaflets and
tracts containing the very best selections. If these can not readily
be sold, let them be given away; and good results will be seen
from the seed thus sown. . . . {HFM 90.3}
An effort should be made to utilize natural products for healthful
foods. A good work along this line may be done at Loma Linda.
{HFM 90.4}
If the patronage of our restaurants lessens because we refuse to
depart from right principles, then let it lessen. We must keep the
way of the Lord, through evil report as well as good report.
{HFM 94.3}
Zowerenga, Ndalama Zake
Those who come to our restaurants should be
supplied with reading matter. Their attention
should be called to our literature on temperance
and dietetic reform, and leaflets treating on the
lessons of Christ should also be given them. The
burden of supplying this reading matter should be
shared by all our people. All who come should be
given something to read. It may be that many will
leave the tract unread, but some among those in
whose hands you place it may be searching for
light. They will read and study what you give
them, and then pass it on to others. {HFM 16.1}
Periodicals
July, 1853, I saw that it was not as it should be, that the paper, owned and approved by
God, should come out so seldom. [THE REVIEW AND HERALD PREVIOUS TO THIS TIME HAD
BEEN PUBLISHED QUITE IRREGULARLY, AND WAS NOW ISSUED SEMIMONTHLY.] The cause,
in the time in which we are living, demands the paper weekly, and the publication of
many more tracts to expose the increasing errors of this time; but the work is hindered
for want of means. I saw that the truth must go, and that we must not be too fearful; that
tracts and papers might better go to three where they were not needed than to have one
deprived of them who prizes them, and can be benefited by them. I saw that the last-day
signs should be brought out clearly, for the manifestations of Satan are on the increase.
The publications of Satan and his agents are increasing, their power is growing; and what
we do to get the truth before others, must be done quickly. {CW 15.2}
I was shown that the truth once published now, will stand, for it is the truth for the last
days; it will live, and less need be said upon it in future. Numberless words need not be
put upon paper to justify what speaks for itself and shines in its clearness. Truth is
straight, plain, clear, and stands out boldly in its own defense; but it is not so with error. It
is so winding and twisting that it needs a multitude of words to explain it in its crooked
form. I saw that all the light they had received in some places had come from the paper;
that souls had received the truth in this way, and then talked it to others; and that now in
places where there are several, they had been raised up by this silent messenger. It was
their only preacher. The cause of truth should not be hindered in its onward progress for
want of means.--Early Writings, p. 96. (1853.) {CW 15.3}
Literature
The power and efficiency of our work depend largely on the character of the literature that
comes from our presses. Therefore great care should be exercised in the choice and
preparation of the matter that is to go to the world. The greatest caution and
discrimination are needed. Our energies should be devoted to the publication of literature
of the purest quality and the most elevating character. Our periodicals must go forth laden
with truth that has a vital, spiritual interest for the people. {CW 11.1}
God has placed in our hands a banner upon which is inscribed, "Here is the patience of the
saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus."
Revelation 14:12. This is a distinct, separating message,--a message that is to give no
uncertain sound. It is to lead the people away from the broken cisterns that contain no
water, to the unfailing Fountain of the water of life. {CW 11.2}
Our publications have a most sacred work to do in making clear, simple, and plain the
spiritual basis of our faith. Everywhere the people are taking sides; all are ranging
themselves either under the banner of truth and righteousness or under the banner of the
apostate powers that are contending for the supremacy. At this time God's message to the
world is to be given with such prominence and power that the people will be brought face
to face, mind to mind, heart to heart, with truth. They must be brought to see its
superiority over the multitudinous errors that are pushing their way into notice, to
supplant, if possible, the word of God for this solemn time. {CW 11.3}
Literature
In the work for this time, it is not money or talent or learning
or eloquence that is needed so much as faith graced with
humility. No opposition can prevail against truth presented in
faith and humility, by workers who willingly bear toil and
sacrifice and reproach for the Master's sake. We must be co-
workers with Christ if we would see our efforts crowned with
success. We must weep as He wept for those who will not
weep for themselves, and plead as He pleaded for those who
will not plead for themselves. --Manuscript 24, 1903. {CW
108.2}
The Review is our church paper, and strength and vitality should
be put into it. There is need of all the sharpened talent that
the younger helpers can give. Impress upon the contributors
the necessity of writing live, spirited articles.--Letter 54, 1902.

Educate Educate Educate
The time will come when unguarded expressions of a denunciatory character, that have
been carelessly spoken or written by our brethren, will be used by our enemies to
condemn us. These will not be used merely to condemn those who made the statements,
but will be charged upon the whole body of Adventists. Our accusers will say that on such
and such a day one of our responsible men said thus and so against the administration of
the laws of this government. Many will be astonished to see how many things have been
cherished and remembered that will give point to the arguments of our adversaries.
Many will be surprised to hear their own words strained into a meaning that they did not
intend them to have. Then let our workers be careful to speak guardedly at all times and
under all circumstances. Let all beware lest by reckless expressions they bring on a time of
trouble before the great crisis which is to try men's souls. {CW 69.1}
Stormy times will come rapidly enough upon us, and we should take no course of our own
that will hasten them. Tribulation will come of a character that will drive to God all who
wish to be His, and His alone. Until tested and proved in the furnace of trial, we do not
know ourselves, and it is not proper for us to measure the characters of others and to
condemn those who have not yet had the light of the third angel's message. {CW 71.1}
If we wish men to be convinced that the truth we believe sanctifies the soul and
transforms the character, let us not be continually charging them with vehement
accusations. In this way we shall force them to the conclusion that the doctrine we profess
cannot be the Christian doctrine, since it does not make us kind, courteous, and respectful.
Christianity is not manifested in pugilistic accusations and condemnation. {CW 71.2}
Lectures
Lectures should be given explaining why reforms in diet are
essential, and showing that the use of highly seasoned food
causes inflammation of the delicate lining of the digestive
organs. Let it be shown why we as a people have changed our
habits of eating and drinking. Show why we discard tobacco and
all intoxicating liquor. Lay down the principles of health reform
clearly and plainly, and with this, let there be placed on the
table an abundance of wholesome food, tastefully prepared;
and the Lord will help you to make impressive the urgency of
reform, and will lead them to see that this reform is for their
highest good.--Medical Ministry, page 286. {Te 240.2}
When we have shown the people that we have right principles
regarding health reform, we should then take up the
temperance question in all its bearings, and drive it home to
the hilt.--Letter 63, 1905. {Te 240.3}
Restaurant Blueprint
The Lord has a message for our cities, and this message we are to
proclaim in our camp meetings and by other public efforts and also
through our publications. In addition to this, hygienic restaurants
are to be established in the cities, and by them the message of
temperance is to be proclaimed. Arrangements should be made to
hold meetings in connection with our restaurants. Whenever
possible, let a room be provided where the patrons can be invited
to lectures on the science of health and Christian temperance,
where they can receive instruction on the preparation of
wholesome food and on other important subjects. In these
meetings there should be prayer and singing and talks, not only on
health and temperance topics, but also on other appropriate Bible
subjects. As the people are taught how to preserve physical health,
many opportunities will be found to sow the seeds of the gospel of
the kingdom. {HFM 15.2}
San Francisco and Oakland
Some work has been done in the large city of
San Francisco, but as we study the field we
see plainly that only a beginning has been
made. As soon as possible, well-organized
efforts should be put forth in different
sections of this city and also in Oakland. The
wickedness of San Francisco is not realized.
Our work in this city must broaden and
deepen. God sees in it many souls to be
saved. {HFM 10.1}
Restaurant, Food Store, Treatment Room
In San Francisco a hygienic restaurant has been
opened, also a food store and treatment rooms.
These are doing a good work, but their influence
should be greatly extended. Other restaurants similar
to the one on Market Street should be opened in San
Francisco and in Oakland. Concerning the effort that
is now being made in these lines we can say: Amen
and amen. And soon other lines of work that will be a
blessing to the people will be established. Medical
missionary evangelistic work should be carried
forward in a most prudent and thorough manner. The
solemn, sacred work of saving souls is to advance in a
way that is modest and yet ever elevated. {HFM 10.2}
THE BEEHIVE
During the past few years, the "beehive" in San Francisco has been
indeed a busy one. Many lines of Christian effort have been carried
forward by our brethren and sisters there. These included visiting the
sick and destitute, finding homes for orphans, and work for the
unemployed; nursing the sick, and teaching the truth from house to
house; the distribution of literature, and the conducting of classes on
healthful living and the care of the sick. A school for the children has
been conducted in the basement of the Laguna Street meeting-house.
For a time a working men's home and medical mission was
maintained. On Market Street, near the city hall, there were
treatment rooms, operated as a branch of the St. Helena Sanitarium.
In the same locality was a health food store. Nearer the center of the
city, not far from the Call building, was conducted a vegetarian cafe,
which was open six days in the week, and entirely closed on the
Sabbath. Along the water front, ship mission work was carried on. At
various times our ministers conducted meetings in large halls in the
city. Thus the warning message was given by many. {RH, July 5, 1906
par. 24}
Gospel in Practice
If we fulfill the purpose of God in this work, the righteousness
of Christ will go before us, and the glory of the Lord will be our
rearward. But if there is no ingathering of souls, if the helpers
themselves are not spiritually benefited, if they are not
glorifying God in word and deed, why should we open and
maintain such establishments? If we cannot conduct our
restaurants to God's glory, if we cannot exert through them a
strong religious influence, it would be better for us to close
them up and use the talents of our youth in other lines of
work. But our restaurants can be so conducted that they will
be the means of saving souls. Let us seek the Lord earnestly
for humility of heart, that He may teach us how to walk in the
light of His counsel, how to understand His word, how to
accept it, and how to put it into practice. {HFM 20.1}

MMW si Social Humanitarian Work
God does not want the faith of His people
to take on the features or appearance of
the humanitarian work now called
medical missionary work. The means and
talents of His people are not to be buried in
the slums of New York or Chicago. God's
work is to be carried on in right lines.
{8Testimonies 183.3}
Ntchito ya Salvation Army
The Lord has marked out our way of working. As a people we are
not to imitate and fall in with Salvation Army methods. This is
not the work that the Lord has given us to do. Neither is it our
work to condemn them and speak harsh words against them.
There are precious, self-sacrificing souls in the Salvation Army. We
are to treat them kindly. There are in the Army honest souls, who
are sincerely serving the Lord and who will see greater light,
advancing to the acceptance of all truth. The Salvation Army
workers are trying to save the neglected, downtrodden ones.
Discourage them not. Let them do that class of work by their
own methods and in their own way. But the Lord has plainly
pointed out the work that Seventh-day Adventists are to do.
Camp meetings and tent meetings are to be held. The truth for
this time is to be proclaimed. A decided testimony is to be
borne. And the discourses are to be so simple that children can
understand them. {8Testimonies 184.3}

• The Lord does not give us direction to erect buildings for
the care of babies, although this is a good work, but it is
not the work for the present time. Let the world do all it
will in this line. Our time and means must be invested in
a different line of work. We are to carry the last
message of mercy in the very best way to reach those in
the churches who are hungering and praying for light.

• If there are men who can take up the work for the
most degraded, if God lays upon them a burden to
labor for the masses in various ways, let these go

means which God intends shall sustain the work of
the third angel's message. {Testimonies, vol. 6, p.

• Satan will so mingle his deceptions with truth that side issues will be
created to turn the attention of the people from the great issue, the test
to be brought upon the people of God in these last days. From the light
that God has given me, I know that the gospel message for this time is
being turned aside for work among the lowest class of people. This work
is being made the all-absorbing work for this time, but God does not
make it thus. But it is a never-ending work, and if it is carried on as it
has been in the past, all the powers of God's people will be required to
balance it, and the work of preparing a people to stand amid the perils
of the last days will never be done. {14Manuscript Releases 160.2}
• There are those who are specially impressed to come into direct contact
with this class, and the Lord gives them a commission to work in the
worst places of the earth, doing what they can to redeem outcasts and
place them where they will be under the care of the church. But the Lord
has not called Seventh-day Adventists to make this work a specialty. He
would not have them in this work engross many workers or exhaust the
treasury. {Manuscript 16, 1900. Welfare Ministry 259.2}

• Dr. D. C. Ross was asked to read the paper prepared by Dr. Lillis
Wood-Starr entitled "Schools of Health." Dr. Starr gave experiences
illustrating the fact that by means of schools of health, hearts may
be reached promptly and efficiently. Her medical missionary
experiences began with single individuals and families; but it was
not long before she was conducting schools, and this was followed
by openings for nurses to enter families, and teach mothers the
principles of cooking and healthful living. The doctor, as a result of
her small beginning, has had the opportunity of lecturing to forty
thousand school-children on alcohol and tobacco. {May 30, 1909
WASe, GCB 203.12}
• Elder R. S. Owen spoke with regret of the fact that he had been so
many years in evangelical work without being directly connected
with the medical work. … {May 30, 1909 WASe, GCB 203.13}

• Dr. Lauretta Kress expressed pleasure in the fact that
we are returning to our first love in the matter of our
health work… {May 30, 1909 WASe, GCB 203.14}
• L. A. Hansen said, "The word of the spirit of prophecy
is, Educate! educate! educate!" I believe the
sustenance of our medical work is dependent upon
this. Our work in Nashville was opened up through the
work in schools of health. He related their experience
there in demonstrating the wisdom of teaching the
proper preparation of commonly used foods, rather
than encouraging the use of the manufactured health
foods. {May 30, 1909 WASe, GCB 204.1}
Educate, Educate, Educate
• J. A. Burden quoted from the Testimonies that "we are not called to
feed the world, but we are called to educate them." He related far-
reaching results of health talks given in the first vegetarian restaurant
in Australia. One discouraged slave to drink, a banker, gave up
intoxicants from the first day he was there, and later brought in, of his
friends, many of the most prominent and influential men in the
country to learn the health principles being taught at the tables
during meals. {May 30, 1909 WASe, GCB 204.2}
• Dr. A. B. Olsen stated that in England they conducted schools of health
in which they furnished printed programs, giving the details of what
would be taken up at the various sessions. Ordinarily a course
consisted of four days' work with afternoon and evening sessions. A
half was secured, and a gas range provided. Sometimes admission was
by ticket, and at other times a collection was taken up. The Leicester
Sanitarium was the fruit of one of these schools of health. The
program was somewhat as follows:-- {May 30, 1909 WASe, GCB 204.3}
Program
First Evening.--True Temperance; What It Means. {May 30, 1909 WASe, GCB

Third Evening.--Common Errors of Diet. {May 30, 1909 WASe, GCB 204.6}

attention was given to the evils of drug medication. {May 30, 1909 WASe, GCB

WCTU Boston
In the central union of the W. C. T. U., in Boston, we were invited to speak to
them in their meeting in Tremont Temple. And as we came to the Temple,
we found that they had a large attendance. The lady who led the meeting,
after the usual opening, called for a second prayer, and a lady on the front
seat prayed in response to the request for her to pray. It was a remarkable
prayer. She arose and said, "Now, Lord, we have met together today to
hear Mr. and Mrs. Starr, from the sanitarium. Lord, we are expecting
something out of the ordinary. Lord, give us something out of the
ordinary; and help us not to reject it, but to accept it." It was a wonderful
starter; and when I arose I said, "Did you notice this lady's prayer?" and I
repeated it: "Lord, we are expecting something out of the ordinary. Lord,
give us something out of the ordinary." I said, "Did you all say, Amen?" Of
course they all smiled. "Well, Lord, help us to receive it." "Did you all say,
Amen?" And I said: "My dear women, you are going to get something out
of the ordinary. I am not going to stand here and preach temperance in
the way you usually have it, because you can do it better than I." {June 3,
1913 WASe, GCB 253.15}
Chakudya Choyenera
And so we began with the postponement of old age.
We told them that all true food grows standing still. It
does not run around, and use up energy. Flesh food is
only an emergency food, and contains a very small
amount of real nourishment, and should only be used
in case of emergency, when one cannot get true food.
In Deut. 20:19 the Lord told the people not to destroy
the trees in times of battle with the enemy, because
those trees are the life of man. When you plant
strawberries, peaches, pears, you know where to go to
find them. They do not run away. You do not have to
run after them to catch them, then use a knife, or
anything of that kind. {June 3, 1913 WASe, GCB 253.16}
Chakudya Choona
Another point I want to bring to you is that the handling of
true food, the eating of it, looking at it, planting it,
everything we have to do with it, is pleasant to men. The
fruits, the grains, the nuts, are all tempting to us. But even
before you take the life of an animal, there is a disinclination
to touch it, and especially so afterward. {June 3, 1913 WASe,
GCB 254.1}
In these schools of health there are many things we present.
We usually have foods prepared,--an ideal breakfast, an
ideal dinner, an ideal supper. If we have drink, we pass it to
the audience. If we have food, we pass it. We pass it with a
little white serviette, and a spoon, and they keep the spoons.
The cook tells them how each article is prepared, and they
are very much interested. {June 3, 1913 WASe, GCB 254.2}
Zotsatira
Then we have a demonstration in the use of common applications
of water for common ailments, and we find these demonstrations
always hold the people. We save them to the last, until the
speech is over; but they come again and again, and keep asking
for more of the schools of health. ….This brings us in close touch
with these people. While they do not become Sabbath-keepers at
once, they do become our friends. {June 3, 1913 WASe, GCB

Every door is open to us. A nurse who meets these women, said to
my wife: "What have you been doing with these people? They
seem like your old friends?" and so they are. Now, some day those
people are going to find their way into these audiences here.
Some have already come into the truth from these schools of
health, and we expect to see more coming. The Lord will see that
they come. {June 3, 1913 WASe, GCB 254.4}
Restaurant
E. G. Fulton, being asked to occupy ten minutes
describing the work of the vegetarian restaurants,
cafes, and cafeterias, stated that vegetarian work is
real missionary work, and constitutes an opening
wedge for the entrance of the message. Many who
inquire about food by so doing have their interest
aroused in regard to spiritual matters. We always have
reading matter. The Testimonies say that vegetarian
restaurants should be established in all large cities.
Twice the number of employees necessary to conduct
restaurant work may be employed, and let them
alternate between restaurant work and various lines
of city mission work. {June 2, 1909 WASe, GCB 267.1}

• Elder Starr: We have found in Australia that these lunches are a
means of introducing our health foods in the homes. {June 2,
1909 WASe, GCB 267.4}
• E. G. Fulton: And I will say also that the restaurants are a great help
to the sanitariums. Moreover, properly conducted restaurants pay
well; but in order to do this, they must have good cooks and good
service. It is my conviction that not one girl in forty knows how to
set a table. Our work should be educational. We should have the
very best service in America. {June 2, 1909 WASe, GCB 267.5}
• Dr. A. B. Olsen: I move that we ask Brother Fulton to prepare a
manual on service. The motion was carried. {June 2, 1909 WASe,
GCB 267.6}
• Dr. W. A. Ruble: I am very anxious to have this restaurant work
started here in Washington and in other Eastern cities. We are
behind the times in this matter. {June 2, 1909 WASe, GCB 267.7}

Where are the working forces? Men and
women who are thoroughly converted, men
and women of discernment and keen foresight,
should act as directors. Good judgment must
be exercised in employing persons to do this
special work—persons who love God and who
walk before Him in all humility, persons who
will be effective agencies in God's hand for the
accomplishment of the object He has in view—
the uplifting and saving of human beings.

Vision
In visions of the night, representations passed before me of a
great reformatory movement among God's people. Many
were praising God. The sick were healed, and other miracles
were wrought. A spirit of intercession was seen, even as was
manifested before the great Day of Pentecost. Hundreds and
thousands were seen visiting families and opening before
them the word of God. Hearts were convicted by the power
of the Holy Spirit, and a spirit of genuine conversion was
manifest. On every side doors were thrown open to the
proclamation of the truth. The world seemed to be lightened
with the heavenly influence. Great blessings were received
by the true and humble people of God. I heard voices of
thanksgiving and praise, and there seemed to be a
reformation such as we witnessed in 1844. {9T 126.1}
What we Do
How do you all get
along? Are you all
striving for eternal
life?...Now is the
preparation time and I
hope we shall all make
sure work for eternity.
Time looks very short
and what we do we must
do quickly. {16MR 207.3}
KUCHITA UTHENGA

The world needs today what it needed


nineteen hundred years ago--a revelation of
Christ. A great work of reform is demanded,
and it is only through the grace of Christ that
the work of restoration, physical, mental,
and spiritual, can be accomplished.
