Nurses, Be True to Your Profession
By G. L. Brown
A few weeks ago the wife of a prominent man was brought to one of our sanitariums in a critical condition. Through the blessing of God upon the means used for the restoration of her health, she made a very satisfactory recovery. During one of the husband's visits while the wife was in the sanitarium, he expressed himself as much pleased with the way his wife had been treated, and said: "I am glad you people here are all Seventh-day Adventists. I believe there are no better nurses in the world than Seventh-day Adventists. I believe your people have a special work in the world in treating the sick." I felt much impressed with the fact that our nurses who go out into the world to do private nursing and do not identify themselves before the world with the Seventh-day Adventist denomination, lose a great blessing. I have known nurses who nursed in homes for weeks and went away, and yet the family did not know there was such a people on the face of the earth as Seventh-day Adventists. It is a sad fact, but nevertheless true, that those nurses did not long remain loyal to the truth. They soon lost their interest in the things of God, and drifted into the world. So I say, Be true to your profession. Be Seventh-day Adventist nurses, and be proud of it. Be the best nurses in the world, and let God have the glory for the results that are obtained by his working through you for the relief of suffering humanity.
