The Medical Convention at Loma Linda, Cal.
By George McCready Price
We can see evidences everywhere that medical missionary work is rising from obscurity, and taking on new life and glory. One incident in the progress of this great movement, marking a period in its history, was the medical convention recently held at Loma Linda Sanitarium. In this convention the evangelistic side of the matter was not neglected, as it so often has been, but emphasis was placed on the great need of rescuing medical work from the professionalism that has settled upon it like an incubus. Christian evangelism is immeasurably larger than professionalism of any kind, and far beyond mere humanitarianism; and this convention endeavored to place in their right relationship the ministry to the body and the ministry to the soul. The needs along both these lines were strongly presented by various speakers. It was voted to publish, in pamphlet form, a report of the convention, and all who desire may obtain copies of it thru the regular channels, as soon as it is ready. Geo. McCready Price.
