not to warn everyone night and day with tears.” In the day of God, how
many will confront us, and say, “I am lost! I am lost! And you never

Carry God’s Word to Every Man’s Door—The press is an in-
strumentality by which many are reached whom it would be impossible
to reach by ministerial effort. A great work can be done by presenting
to the people the Bible just as it reads. Carry the Word of God to every
man’s door, urge its plain statements upon every man’s conscience,
repeat to all the Saviour’s command, “Search the Scriptures.” Admon-
ish them to take the Bible as it is, to implore the divine enlightenment,
and then, when the light shines, to gladly accept each precious ray, and
fearlessly abide the consequences.—.

this is what the people need. If the teachers of the Word are willing, the
Lord will lead them into close relation with the people. He will guide
them to the homes of those who need and desire the truth; and as the
servants of God engage in the work of seeking for the lost sheep, their
spiritual faculties are awakened and energized. Knowing that they are

in harmony with God, they feel joyous and happy. Under the guidance
of the Holy Spirit, they obtain an experience that is invaluable to them.
Their intellectual and moral powers attain their highest development;
for grace is given in answer to the demand.—
