Student Missionary Work
445
Christ desires to use every student as His agent. You are to co-
operate with the One who gave His life for you. What rich blessings
would come to our schools if teachers and students would consecrate
themselves, heart, mind, soul, and strength, to God’s service as His
helping hand! His helping hand—that is what you may be if you
will yield yourselves to His keeping. He will lead you safely, and
enable you to make straight paths for yourselves and for others. He
will give you knowledge and wisdom, and a fitness for fuller service.

With such an army of workers as our youth, rightly trained, might
furnish, how soon the message of a crucified, risen, and soon-coming
Saviour might be carried to the whole world! How soon might the
end come—the end of suffering and sorrow and sin! How soon,
in place of a possession here, with its blight of sin and pain, our
children might receive their inheritance where “the righteous shall
inherit the land, and dwell therein forever;” where “the inhabitant
shall not say, I am sick,” and “the voice of weeping shall be no more
heard.”
