Evangelism
the dishonor they are doing to Christ who has bought them with a
price.
When the believing women shall feel the burden of souls, and
burden of sins not their own, they will be working as Christ worked.
They will consider no sacrifice too great to make to win souls to Christ.
[466]
And everyone who has this love for souls, is born of God; they are
ready to follow in His footsteps, and their words and voice would be
talents employed in the Master’s service; the very nourishment coming
from the parent stock to their own souls would flow out in distinct
channels of love to souls who are withered and dried up.
In this work is a constant education. The desire to be a blessing

soul to God in prayer, and the Lord Jesus gives light and His Holy
Spirit, and they understand that it is Christ who does the melting and
breaking of the hard hearts.—

Needed in Various Branches of the Work—In the various
branches of the work of God’s cause, there is a wide field in which our
sisters may do good service for the Master. Many lines of missionary
work are neglected. In the different churches, much work which is
often left undone or done imperfectly, could be well accomplished
by the help that our sisters, if properly instructed, can give. Through

had the moral courage to decide in favor of the truth for this time
are many who have tact, perception, and good ability, and who may
make successful workers. The labors of such Christian women are
needed.—

the very highest account. Who can have so deep a love for the souls
of men and women for whom Christ has died as those who are par-

Christ better than Christian women who themselves are practicing the
truth?—

As Counselor, Companion, and Co-Worker—Woman, if she
wisely improves her time and her faculties, relying upon God for
wisdom and strength, may stand on an equality with her husband as
adviser, counselor, companion, and co-worker, and yet lose none of
