"The work of the Christian physician does not
end with healing the maladies of the body; his efforts should extend to the
diseases of the mind, to the saving of the soul....the duties of the physician
are arduous. Few realize the mental and physical strain to which he is
subjected....Many, knowing how trying are these duties of the physician and how
few opportunities physicians have for release from care, even upon the Sabbath,
will not choose this for their lifework. But the great enemy is constantly
seeking to destroy the workmanship of God's hands, and men of culture and
intelligence are called upon to to combat his cruel power. More of the right
kind of men are needed to devote themselves to this profession."
