These workers should not at any time be charged a high price for board and treatment, neither should they be regarded as beggars, or in any way made to feel as such by those whose hospitality they receive. To manifest liberality in the use of the facilities God has provided for His worn and overworked servants is genuine medical missionary work in His sight. God’s workers are bound to Him, and when they are received it should be remembered that Christ is received in the person of His messengers. He requires this, and is dishonored and displeased when they are treated indifferently or dealt with in a small or selfish manner. God’s blessing will not attend close dealing with any of His chosen ones. Among the medical fraternity there has not always been a keenness of perception to discern these matters. Some have not regarded them as they should. May the Lord sanctify the perception of those who have charge of our institutions, that they may know who should have true sympathy and care. {7T 292.3}

Disse arbejdere skal aldrig afkræves højere priser for kost og behandling og bør heller ikke (293) betragtes som tiggere eller på nogen måde bringes til at føle sig som sådanne af dem, hvis gæstfrihed de nyder. At vise rundhåndethed i brugen af de hjælpemidler Gud har tilvejebragt for sine udslidte og overanstrengte tjenere, er i hans øjne sand evangelisk sundhedsvirksomhed. Guds arbejdere er et med ham og når man tager imod dem, skal man erindre at man tager imod Kristus i skikkelse af hans budbærere. Han kræver det og det vanærer og mishager ham når de behandles med ligegyldighed eller på en smålig eller egoistisk måde. Guds velsignelse vil ikke ledsage en nøjeregnende behandling af nogen af hans udvalgte. Inden for lægernes kreds har der ikke altid rådet en klar opfattelse af disse forhold. Nogle har ikke betragtet dem i det rette lys. Måtte Herren hellige opfattelsesevnen hos dem som har ledelsen af vore institutioner, sådan at de kan forstå hvem der bør være genstand for sand medfølelse og omhu!
