Faithful Service

By Rosette Runck

“And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.” All around us are the hungry, the naked, the thirsty, and the sick. Are we feeding and clothing them? or do we let their cries go unnoticed until our hearing is so dull we hear not and, having eyes, see not? “Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.”
People are not only hungry for physical food, but spiritual food as well. Our nurses in Madison, Wis., have been doing house-to-house work in the city. Some canvass for “Ministry of Healing,” and some sell Life and Health and other magazines. Others give demonstrations in cooking and simple treatments. They have started an interest in three different places, with demonstrations of hygienic cooking and the simple treatments given every two weeks. Those who are interested invite their friends and neighbors to these meetings.
We believe this work will do much to break down prejudice and to prepare the way for the whole truth, as well as to interest the people in sanitarium work. They find the people eager to learn how to take care of their bodies.
The Macedonian cry is coming from the cities. There ought to be more of our nurses working in them. This entering wedge will open the way whereby many souls may be gathered into the kingdom.
“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”
ROSETTE RUNCK, M. D.
