Through observing our lives, the people of the world form their opinion of God and of the religion of Christ. All who do not know Christ need to have the high, noble principles of His character kept constantly before them in the lives of those who do know Him. To meet this need, to carry the light of Christ’s love into the homes of the great and the lowly, the rich and the poor, is the high duty and precious privilege of the medical missionary. {6T 258.3}

Ved at iagttage vort liv danner menneskene i verden sig deres mening om Gud og om Kristi religion. Alle, der ikke kender Kristus, behøver til stadighed at kunne beskue hans karakters principper i deres liv, som kender ham, at fylde dette behov, at bringe Kristi kærligheds lys ind i de højes og de laves, de riges og de fattiges hjem, er lægemissionærens ophøjede pligt og dyrebare forret.
