the work of treating the diseases of their sex. They
will sometimes need the counsel and assistance of
experienced gentlemen physicians. When brought
into trying places let all be led by supreme wisdom.
Let all bear in mind that they need and may have
the wisdom of the Great Physician in their work.
We ought to have a school where women can
be educated by women physicians, to do the best

stand at its highest. Physicians should bear in mind
that it is their work to fit souls as well as bodies for
heavenly lives. Their service for God is to be
uncorrupted by evil practices.
