MH 216.1

Draft source version

There are miracles to be wrought in genuine conversion, miracles that are not now discerned. The greatest men of the earth are not beyond the power of a wonder-working God. If those who are workers together with Him will do their duty bravely and faithfully, God will convert men who occupy responsible places, men of intellect and influence. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, many will be led to accept the divine principles.

Genuine conversion among men of intellect and influence is a divine miracle possible through the Holy Spirit. This paragraph speaks of spiritual transformation and divine agency as miracles.

MH 216.2

Draft source version

When it is made plain that the Lord expects them as His representatives to relieve suffering humanity, many will respond and will give of their means and their sympathies for the benefit of the poor. As their minds are thus drawn away from their own selfish interests, many will surrender themselves to Christ. With their talents of influence and means they will gladly unite in the work of beneficence with the humble missionary who was God's agent in their conversion. By a right use of their earthly treasures they will lay up for themselves “a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, neither moth corrupteth.”

Engaging in philanthropic work and relieving human suffering draws individuals away from selfishness and toward spiritual commitment. The paragraph focuses on spiritual motivation, stewardship, and conversion through charity, lacking empirical medical assertions.

MH 216.3

Draft source version

When converted to Christ, many will become agencies in the hand of God to work for others of their own class. They will feel that a dispensation of the gospel is committed to them for those who have made this world their all. Time and money will be consecrated to God, talent and influence will be devoted to the work of winning souls to Christ.

Converted believers from wealthy or influential classes will dedicate their time, money, and talents to missionary work among peers. The text describes religious conversion and subsequent missionary activities directed toward specific social classes.

MH 216.4

Draft source version

Only eternity will reveal what has been accomplished by this kind of ministry—how many souls, sick with doubt and tired of worldliness and unrest, have been brought to the great Restorer, who longs to save to the uttermost all that come unto Him. Christ is a risen Saviour, and there is healing in His wings.

Spiritual restoration brings healing and peace to those troubled by doubt and worldliness through a risen Savior. This passage uses religious metaphor and spiritual healing language without making testable empirical claims.
