Thus our sanitariums are to be an instrumentality<br />

for reaching the people, an agency for showing<br />

them the evil of disregarding the laws of life and<br />

health, and for teaching them how to preserve the<br />

body in the best c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>. Sanitariums are to be<br />

established in different countries that are entered<br />

by our missi<strong>on</strong>aries, and are to be centers from<br />

which a work of healing, restoring, and educating<br />

shall be carried <strong>on</strong>.<br />

We are to labor both for the health of the body<br />

and for the saving of the soul. Our missi<strong>on</strong> is the<br />

same as that of our Master, of whom it is written<br />

that He went about doing good and healing all who<br />

were oppressed by Satan. Acts 10:38. Of His own<br />

work He says: “The Spirit of the Lord God is up<strong>on</strong><br />

Me; because the Lord hath anointed Me to preach<br />

good tidings unto the meek.” “He hath sent Me to<br />

heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the<br />

captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set<br />

at liberty them that are bruised.” Isaiah 61:1; Luke<br />

4:18. As we follow Christ’s example of labor for<br />

the good of others, we shall awaken their interest in<br />

the God whom we love and serve.<br />
