Chapter 12—Bible Evangelism
A Heaven-born Idea
The plan of holding Bible readings was a heaven-born idea. There
are many, both men and women, who can engage in this branch of
missionary labor. Workers may thus be developed who will become
mighty men of God. By this means the Word of God has been given
to thousands; and the workers are brought into personal contact with
people of all nations and tongues. The Bible is brought into families,
and its sacred truths come home to the conscience. Men are entreated
to read, examine, and judge for themselves, and they must abide the
responsibility of receiving or rejecting the divine enlightenment. God
will not permit this precious work for Him to go unrewarded. He will
crown with success every humble effort made in His name.—

Our work has been marked out for us by our heavenly Father. We
are to take our Bibles, and go forth to warn the world. We are to
be God’s helping hands in saving souls,—channels through which
His love is day by day to flow to the perishing.—

If we follow in Christ’s footsteps, we must come close to those
who need our ministry. We must open the Bible to the understanding,
