Countless are the opportunities of the physician for warning the impenitent, cheering the disconsolate and hopeless, and prescribing for the health of mind and body. As he thus instructs the people in the principles of true temperance, and as a guardian of souls gives advice to those who are mentally and physically diseased, the physician is acting his part in the great work of making ready a people prepared for the Lord. This is what medical missionary work is to accomplish in its relation to the third angel’s message. {6T 233.4}

Utallige er en læges anledninger til at advare de ubodfærdige, opmuntre de trøstesløse og de håbløse og til at give forskrifter vedrørende sindets og legemets sundhed. Når han således underviser folk om grundsætningerne for sandt afhold og som en sjælenes vogter giver råd til dem, der er åndeligt og legemligt syge, udfører han sin del i den store opgave at berede Herren et velskikket folk. Dette er, hvad arbejdet i sundhedsmissionen skal udrette i sit forhold til den tredje engels budskab.
