Living Waters for Thirsty Souls<br />

The Lord wants wise men and women, acting<br />

in the capacity of nurses, to comfort and help the<br />

sick and the suffering....<br />

It is for the object of soul saving that our<br />

sanitariums are established. In our daily<br />

ministrati<strong>on</strong>s we see many careworn, sorrowful<br />

faces. What does the sorrow <strong>on</strong> these faces show?<br />

The need of the soul for the peace of Christ. Poor,<br />

sad human beings go to broken cisterns, which can<br />

hold no water, thinking to quench their thirst. Let<br />

them hear a voice saying, “Ho, every<strong>on</strong>e that<br />

thirsteth, come ye to the waters,” “Come to Me,<br />

that ye might have life.” Isaiah 55:1; John 5:40.<br />

It is that thirsting souls may be led to the living<br />

water that we plead for sanitariums—not<br />

expensive, mammoth sanitariums, but homelike<br />

instituti<strong>on</strong>s in pleasant places.<br />
