Preface
The desire to place in the hands of all Christian workers, instruc-
tion bearing specifically upon the need, importance, methods, and
reward of earnest, consecrated missionary endeavor, has led to a com-
prehensive survey of the field of inspired literature, and resulted in
bringing together, in convenient form, the quotations comprising this
volume, which may appropriately be termed an Encyclopedia of Chris-
tian Service.
It is by no means claimed that the following pages furnish an
exhaustive compilation from the writings of the Spirit of prophecy on
the broad subject of Christian service, but merely that they afford a
safe path into the rich and extensive mines of research, wherein the
Christian worker may go deeper into the vein of truth regarding the
science of soul winning.
In culling from the various sources of information, conscientious
care has been exercised to preserve the proper setting of the thought
expressed by the author. It is hoped that the selections will be found
invaluable to ministers and leaders in all lines of church work, and will
be appreciated by all men and women whose hearts have been touched
by the spirit of the Great Missionary, and who have “understanding of
the times, to know what Israel ought to do.”
Grateful acknowledgment is hereby made to the secretarial force
of the General Conference Home Missionary Department, general and
local, and to other Christian workers, who have rendered valuable
assistance in reading and marking various books for this compilation,
and whose suggestions and hearty approval have meant much in the
thoroughness and completeness of the task.
