A Broader View
In carrying forward the Lord’s work at home and abroad, those
in positions of responsibility must plan wisely so as to make the
best possible use of men and of means. The burden of sustaining
the work in many of the foreign lands must be largely borne by our
conferences in the homeland. These conferences should have means
with which to assist in opening new fields, where the testing truths

men and women are needed to enter these doors and begin earnest
work for the salvation of souls.
Our educational institutions can do much toward meeting the
demand for trained workers for these mission fields. Wise plans
should be laid to strengthen the work done in our training centers.

young men and women to bear responsibility and to win souls for

present the third angel’s message in an attractive manner. And in the
management of financial matters they should be taught lessons that
will help them when they are sent to isolated fields where they must
suffer many privations and practice the strictest economy.

that await them in the regions beyond. During their school life, as
they handle these books they may learn how to approach people
courteously and how to exercise tact in conversing with them on
