During
the
last
two
or
threes
years
it
has
fallen
to
a
number
of
the
leaders
on
the
Pacific
Ceast
to
examine
a
great
many
of
the
manuscripts
left
by
Sister
Ellen
G.
White
on
the
subject
of
medical
ministry.
The
reading
of
these
me3sages
has
made
a
deep
impression
upon
the
minds
of
these
men
regarding
the
medical
and
health
phase
of
the
world-wide
movement
set
on
foot
by
the
threefold
message
of
Revelation
14.
They
have
been
given
a
larger
vision
of
God's
purpose
for
this
medical
work.
hzy
not
only
see
that
the
medical
missionary
work
is
an
integral
part
of
our
message
—
movement,
but
they
are
awakened
and
aroused
regarding
its
great
importance.
They
feel
a
deep
convicition
that
tals
part
of
our
message
should
be
made
more
prominent
and
helpful
in
our
endeavors
to
bless
and
save
our
fellow-men.
They
ars
impressed
that
this
Department
should
be
carried
on
with
the
same
systematic,
vigorous,
nsver-
ceasing
determination
which
the
Publishing
and
Educational
phases
of
our
movement
.
receive.
The
medical
missionary
work
meets
a
pressing
need
the
world
over.
The
darker
the
land
and
the
more
desperate
the
conditions,
the
greater
and
more
pressing
is
the
nead
forthis
phase
of
our
message
and
service.
This
being
true,
it
seems
that
tals
good
work
should
be
greatly
enlarged
in
all
the
non-Christian
and
uncivilized
lands
of
the
world.
Note
some
of
the
plain,
impressive
statements
of
the
Spirit
of
prophecy:
"I
wish
to
speak
about
the
relation
existinz
betwsen
the
medical
missionary
work

the
