To the Teachers in Our Schools
241
In your school life you may have opportunity to tell the poor and
ignorant of the wonderful truths of God’s word. Improve every such
opportunity. The Lord will bless every moment spent in this way.

We are living in a time when Satan is working with all his power
to discourage and defeat those who are laboring in God’s service. But
we must not fail nor be discouraged. We must exercise greater faith
in God. We must trust His living word. Unless we have a firmer hold
from above, we shall never be able to cope with the powers of darkness
that will be seen and felt in every department of the work.

Earth’s cisterns will often be empty, its pools become dry; but
in Christ there is a living spring from which we may continually
draw. However much we draw and give to others, an abundance will
remain. There is no danger of exhausting the supply; for Christ is the
inexhaustible wellspring of truth.

The ethics inculcated by the gospel acknowledge no standard but
the perfection of God’s mind, God’s will. All righteous attributes of
character dwell in God as a perfect, harmonious whole. Everyone who
receives Christ as his personal Saviour is privileged to possess these
attributes. This is the science of holiness.
