Testimonies for the Church, Volume 8 - Ellen G. White

which should be given to the world is lost sight of.
God impresses different men to be laborers
together with Him. One man is not authorized to
gather too many responsibilities upon himself. The
Lord would have the physician upon whom so
much depends so closely connected with Him that
his spirit will not be irritated by little things. The
Lord desires you to be one of the most efficient
workers in the medical profession, slighting
nothing, marring nothing, knowing that you have a
Counselor close by your side, to sustain and
strengthen you, to impart quietness and calm to
your soul. Feverishness of mind and uncertainty of
spirit will make the hand unskillful. The touch of
Christ upon the physician's hand brings vitality,
restfulness, confidence, and power.
I write to you as a mother would write to her
son. I would help you if I could. I would go to see
you if I could feel it my duty to leave the work here
in Australia, but I dare not do this. You have built
up hopes and nurtured plans without due
consideration of how the tower is to be completed.
