Counsels on Stewardship
Financial Talent Needed
Those belonging to the higher ranks of society are to be sought
out with tender affection and brotherly regard. This class has been
too much neglected. It is the Lord’s will that men to whom He has
entrusted many talents shall hear the truth in a manner different from
the way in which they have heard it in the past. Men in business, in
positions of trust, men with large inventive faculties, and scientific
insight, men of genius, are to be among the first to hear the gospel call.
[140]
There are men of the world who have God-given powers of organi-
zation, which are needed in the carrying forward of the work for these
last days. All are not preachers; but men are needed who can take the
management of the institutions where industrial work is carried on,
men who in our conferences can act as leaders and educators. God
needs men who can look ahead, and see what needs to be done, men
who can act as faithful financiers, men who will stand as solid as a
rock to principle in the present crisis and in the future perils that may
arise.—
