Evangelism
in Revelation and Daniel, are effective. Let the young men learn as
for their lives what is truth and how it should be presented. We are
living in the last days of the great conflict; the truth alone will hold us
securely in this time of trouble. The way should be prepared for Elder
S to give the message, and our young men should attend his evening
meetings.—
Letter 349, 1906

Workers to Originate Devices—Let the workers for God mani-
fest tact and talent, and originate devices by which to communicate
light to those who are near and to those who are afar off.... Time has
been lost, golden opportunities have been unimproved, because men
have lacked clear, spiritual eyesight, and have not been wise to plan
and devise means and ways whereby they might preoccupy the field
before the enemy had taken possession.—

Devices to Teach, Not Entertain—By the use of charts, symbols,
and representations of various kinds, the minister can make the truth
stand out clearly and distinctly. This is a help, and in harmony with
the Word of God. But when the worker makes his labors so expensive
that others are unable to secure from the treasury sufficient means to
support them in the field, he is not working in harmony with God’s
plan.
The work in the large cities is to be done after Christ’s order,
not after the order of a theatrical performance. It is not a theatrical
performance that glorifies God, but the presentation of the truth in the
love of Christ.—
