Chapter 91<br />

Bound Not to Men But to God<br />

"Elmshaven," Sanitarium, Cal., August 4, 1903.<br />

Elder A. G. Daniells:<br />

My dear Brother:--<br />

Yesterday I sent you the letter containing the<br />

warning that has been given again <strong>and</strong> again: The<br />

workers in our sanitariums are not to sign contracts<br />

binding themselves to an association or an<br />

institution for a certain number of years. They are<br />

to be bound, not to men, but to God.<br />

No man is to treat those who learn under him as<br />

if he owned them, body, soul, <strong>and</strong> spirit. The Lord<br />

wants no such binding up with human beings, even<br />

if these human beings are without blame. There are<br />

those who are not holding the beginning of their<br />

confidence firm to the end. The gospel ministry<br />

<strong>and</strong> medical missionary work are to be united.<br />
