The Sign of our OrderI have been instructed that our medical institutions are to stand as witnesses for God. They are established to relieve the sick and the afflicted, to awaken a spirit of inquiry, to disseminate light, and to advance reform. These institutions, rightly conducted, will be the means of bringing a knowledge of the reforms essential to prepare a people for the coming of the Lord, before many that otherwise it would be impossible for us to reach. {7T 104.1}

(104) Jeg er blevet belært at vore sundhedsinstitutioner skal stå som vidner for Gud. De er stiftet for at hjælpe den syge og plagede, for at vække spørgsmål, for at udbrede lys og fremhjælpe en reform. Disse institutioner vil, hvis de ledes rigtigt, være midler til at bibringe kundskab om nødvendige reformer, der bereder et folk for Herrens komme, til mange mennesker som ellers ville være umulige at nå.
