Study of the Bible

“‘If the medical students will study the Word of God diligently, they will be far better prepared to understand their other studies; for enlightenment always come with an earnest study of the Word of God. Let our medical missionary workers understand that the more they become acquainted with God and with Christ, and the more they become acquainted with Bible history, the better prepared they will be to do their work. PH095 32.1

“‘The students in our schools should aspire to higher knowledge. Nothing will so help to give them a retentive memory as a study of the Scriptures. Nothing will so help them in gaining a knowledge of their other studies.’ ... PH095 32.2

“‘Faithful teachers should be placed in charge of the Bible classes, teachers who will strive to make the students understand their lessons, not by explaining everything to them, but by requiring them to explain clearly every passage they read.

Thoughtful investigation and earnest, taxing study are required in order for this Word to be understood.’ ... PH095 32.3

“‘The Bible is the great lesson book for the students in our schools.... Those who consult the divine Oracle will have light. In the Bible every duty is made plain.

In the Word the science of Salvation is plainly revealed Search the Scriptures, for they are the voice of God speaking to the soul.” PH095 32.4

“‘Remember, my brother, that medical missionary work is not to take men from the ministry, but is to place men in the field, better qualified to minister because of their knowledge of medical missionary work. Young men should receive an education in medical missionary lines, and then should go forth to connect with the ministers.’ ... PH095 33.1
