The faithful worker keeps his eyes fixed <strong>on</strong><br />

Christ. Remembering that his hope of eternal life is<br />

due to the cross of Christ, he is determined never to<br />

dish<strong>on</strong>or Him who gave His life for him. He takes<br />

a deep interest in suffering humanity. He prays and<br />

works, watching for souls as <strong>on</strong>e that must give an<br />

account, knowing that the souls whom God brings<br />

in c<strong>on</strong>tact with truth and righteousness are worth<br />

saving.<br />

Our sanitarium workers are engaged in a holy<br />

warfare. To the sick and the afflicted they are to<br />

present the truth as it is in Jesus; they are to present<br />

it in all its solemnity, yet with such simplicity and<br />

tenderness that souls will be drawn to the Saviour.<br />

Ever, in word and deed, they are to keep Him<br />

uplifted as the hope of eternal life. Not a harsh<br />

word is to be spoken, not a selfish act d<strong>on</strong>e. The<br />

workers are to treat all with kindness. Their words<br />

are to be gentle and loving. Those who show true<br />

modesty and Christian courtesy will win souls to<br />

Christ.<br />
