Those who cannot see the importance and bearing of the medical missionary work should not feel authorized to endeavor to control any phase of it. They need an increased knowledge in every line of health reform. They need to be purified, sanctified, and ennobled. They need to be molded and fashioned after the divine similitude. Then they will see that the medical missionary work is a part of the work of God. The reason why so many church members do not understand this branch of the work is that they are not following their Leader step by step in self-denial and self-sacrifice. The medical missionary work is God’s work and bears His signature, and while means must not be absorbed in this one line so as to hinder or cripple the work that should be done in new fields, it should not be regarded as unimportant. {6T 300.1}

Dem, som ikke kan se betydningen af sundhedsmissionsarbejdet skal ikke tro at de har ret til at kontrollere noget i det. De behøver at blive renset, helliget og forædlet. De må formes og dannes efter den guddommelige lighed. Da vil de se at sundhedsmissionsarbejdet er en del af Guds værk. Grunden til at så mange menighedsmedlemmer ikke forstår den del af værket, er at de ikke følger deres Leder skridt for skridt i selvfornægtelse og selvopofrelse. Sundhedsmissionsarbejdet er Guds værk og bærer hans signatur og så længe der ikke bruges midler på denne ene gren, der forhindrer og lemlæster arbejdet på nye marker, bør det ikke betragtes som uvæsentligt.
