tive
to
the
future
of
this
enterprise
than
God’s
people
were
in
a
position
to
fully
understand
at
the
time.
Some
have
thought
that
the
matter
of
having
a
complete
medical
college
was
an
after-
thought,
but
evidently
the
plan
was
not
an
after-
thought,
but
rather
the
unfolding
of
a
divine
pur-
pose
which
had
existed
in
the
mind
of
God
from
the
beginning.
Later
on
instruction
was
received
which
made
it
very
clear
that
our
people
should
conduct
a
medical
school
which
would
train
students
so
that
they
would
be
in
a
position
to
pass
the
examina-
tions
required
by
law
to
enable
them
to
prac-
tise
as
regularly
qualified
physicians.
‘Thus,
in
a
communication
to
Elders
Evans,
Andross,
and
Cottrell,
the
following
counsel
was
given
in
January,
1910:
“The
light
given
me
is:
We
must
provide
that
which
is
essential
to
qualify
our
youth
who
desire
to
be
physicians,
so
that
they
may
intelligently
fit
themselves
to
be
able
to
stand
the
examinations
required
to
prove
their
efficiency
as
physicians.
They
should
be
taught
to
treat
understandingly
the
cases
of
those
who
are
diseased,
so
that
the
door
will
be
closed
for
any
sensible
physician
to
imagine
that
we
are
not
giving
in
our
school
the
instruction
necessary
for
properly
qualifying
young
men
and
young
women
to
do
the
work
of
a
physician.
.
.
.
“And
for
the
special
preparation
of
those
of
our
youth
who
have
clear
convictions
of
their
duty
to
obtain
a
medical
education
that
will
en-
able
them
to
pass
the
examinations
required
by
law
of
all
who
practise
as
regularly
qualified
physi-
cians,
we
are
to
supply
whatever
may
be
required
so
that
these
youth
need
not
