Daughters of God
whom, if we remain loyal to Christ, we shall live through eternal ages.
“Be thou faithful unto death,” Christ says, “and I will give thee a crown
of life.” Then how carefully should the members of the Lord’s family
guard their brethren and sisters! Make yourself their friend. If they
are poor and in need of food and clothing, minister to their temporal
as well as their spiritual wants. Thus you will be a double blessing to
them.—
Evangelism, 353 (1898)

Be a Friend to the Family in Need—The sisters can do much to
reach the heart and make it tender. Wherever you are, my sisters, work
in simplicity. If you are in a home where there are children, show an
interest in them. Let them see that you love them. If one is sick, offer
to give him treatment; help the careworn, anxious mother to relieve
her suffering child.—

All to Have a Part in the Work of God
Our Sisters Can Do Much—Our sisters are doing comparatively
nothing, when they might do very much. Christ is searching the life
and character for fruit, and He finds many professed Christians, like
the fruitless fig tree, bearing nothing but leaves. The sisters can work
efficiently in obtaining subscribers for our periodicals, in this way
bringing the light before many minds. The distribution of tracts, and
the work of Christian canvassers and colporteurs, can be done as well
by our sisters as by our brethren.
Satan is busy in this department of his work, scattering literature
which is debasing the morals and poisoning the minds of the young.
Infidel publications are scattered broadcast throughout the land. Why
[116]
should not every member of the church be as deeply interested in
sending forth publications that will elevate the minds of the people,
and bring the truth directly before them? These papers and tracts are for
the light of the world, and have often been instrumental in converting
souls. Our publications are now sowing the gospel seed, and are
instrumental in bringing as many souls to Christ as the preached word.
Whole churches have been raised up as the result of their circulation.
In this work every disciple of Christ can act a part. Let the leaflets
and tracts, the papers and books, go in every direction. Carry with you,
wherever you go, a package of select tracts, which you can hand out as
you have opportunity. Sell what you can, and lend or give them away
