Introduction
Remuneration for services rendered is a subject of constant and
practical interest to everyone. It is a topic well represented in several
current Ellen G. White books
.
Presented here are supplementary counsels that were drawn to-
gether for the study of certain committees appointed by the General
Conference to review the principles that should govern in the remuner-
ation of Seventh-day Adventist workers. This material proved to be
helpful to the committees, and at their suggestion it is being included
here
.
The review of these and other principles, drawn from various doc-
uments and counsels given regarding the relationship of Seventh-day
Adventist workers to the organizations with which they are connected,
will be read with profit
.
And to any who may be tempted, because of financial pressures, to
accept an inviting offer of a larger income in lines of work not directly
connected with the cause of God, the chapter, “counsel to one who
for financial reasons, was planning to leave the work of God,” will
offer challenging and sobering thoughts. In all these Ellen G. White
messages the spirit of Christ, which is the spirit of sacrifice, is the
keynote
