Counsels on Stewardship
A Means of Conversion
Why not ask the Gentiles for assistance? I have received instruction
that there are men and women in the world who have sympathetic
hearts, and who will be touched with compassion as the needs of
suffering humanity are presented before them....
There are men in the world who will give of their means for schools
and for sanitariums. The matter has been presented to me in this light.
Our work is to be aggressive. The money is the Lord’s, and if the
wealthy are approached in the right way, the Lord will touch their
hearts, and impress them to give of their means. God’s money is in the
hands of these men, and some of them will heed the request for help.
Talk this over, and do all in your power to secure gifts. We are
not to feel that it would not be the thing to ask men of the world for
means; for it is just the thing to do. This plan was opened before me
as a way of coming in touch with wealthy men of the world. Through
this means not a few will become interested, and may hear and believe
the truth for this time.—
