IN looking up matter that it has been thought desirable to present in this study, I find myself almost overwhelmed with the greatness of the subject. I suppose it is expected that in the few hours allotted to this work we will consider the various lines of work that are under the direction of the general Medical Missionary and Benevolent Association. This Association is composed, as you know, of the presidents of Conferences, members of the General Conference, and a few others who have contributed one thousand dollars to the enterprise.

This Association has under its charge a very extensive work. Its field is as large as the world; and there are demands for its efforts wherever a human being can be found. We do not have to wait for an opening; there is something to be done everywhere you go, — wherever there are sick and suffering, or those in need. I will speak of a few of the different branches into which the mission and benevolent is work divided. GCB February 4, 1895, page 3.9
