Spalding and Magan's Unpublished Manuscript Testimonies - Ellen G. White

We are preparing for a life that measures with
the life of God. Never should a Seventh-day
Adventist medical missionary do anything that will
dishonor the name that he bears. Every medical
missionary is to show to the world, to lawyers, to
doctors, to the church, and to the gospel ministry,
that he is a Christian, bound by a solemn covenant
to be upright in word and action, to follow a course
free from all deception and subterfuge. His life is
to be holy. He is to respect his God-given talents,
using them in a way that will honor the One who
gave his life to redeem humanity from all iniquity,
and to purify unto himself a peculiar people,
zealous of good works. There must be in his life no
taint of dishonesty, no perversion of the holy
principles of truth.
In the world men are tried by the standard of
wealth and position. Men worship men who meet
this standard. But is this the true standard of
character? No, no. It is riches, but purity of heart
and life, that will gain for human beings entrance
into the city of God.
