The Missionary Side of Medical School Work in Chicago
By David Paulson
DURING the first and second years of our medical school work the students spend only a few weeks of their time in Chicago, so they are not able to develop many lines of missionary work. They simply step into those that are already established, and assist as the way opens; but during the last two years more than half their time is spent here, and so there is afforded a great opportunity to also engage in missionary work in this great and needy city. Almost every member of the third year19class that has recently left us, in addition to his medical work, was engaged in some special missionary work, and the Lord added his blessing to these efforts. The students not only helped in our regular work here, but some of them assisted in missionary efforts carried on by other denominations, thereby accomplishing a good work, and at the same time becoming acquainted with a number of excellent people, to whom they will have opportunity to do good in days to come. We wish that all the readers of the REVIEW could have been present at our Sabbath service just preceding the close of the school, and could have heard our medical students testify of the blessing that their Chicago experience had been to them; they would certainly have been convinced that God had gone out before these students, and that here in this sin-cursed city, they, like Moses, had seen him, as it were, face to face.
