It is a law among physicians that whatever new discovery in medical science one makes he must communicate it to the whole profession, that all may use the new knowledge for the alleviation of suffering or the saving of life. It should be a law of Christian life that every good or blessing one may receive from God, any new revealing of truth, any new lesson, should be used for the helping of others in the name of Christ.
“Oh, strengthen me, that while I stand,
Firm on the Rock and strong in Thee,
I may stretch out a loving hand
To wrestlers with the troubled sea.
“Oh, teach me, Lord that I may teach
The precious things Thou dost impart;
And wing my words that they may reach
The hidden depths of many a heart
“Oh, give Thine own sweet rest to me,
That I may speak with soothing power
A word in season, as from Thee,
To weary ones in needful hour.”
