Cautions to the Bible Instructor
Personal Work More Taxing—Women, as well as men, are
needed in the work that must be done. Those women who give them-
selves to the service of the Lord, who labor for the salvation of others
by doing house-to-house work, which is as taxing as, and more taxing
than, standing before a congregation, should receive payment for their
[494]
labor.—
Manuscript 149, 1899
.
Avoid Overwork—There is danger that the women connected
with the work will be required to labor too hard without proper periods
or rest. Such severe taxation should not be brought upon the workers.

Letter 61, 1896
.

of Sister _____’s health. Do not allow her to work too much on the
nerve-taxing strain. You will understand what I mean. She needs to
understand that we are mortal and that if we are not careful of our
health we may lose it.—
Letter 44, 1900
.

moving with decision in the way she knows to be the way of the Lord.
The wife is to stand by the side of the husband as his equal, sharing
all the responsibilities of life, rendering due respect to him who has
selected her for his life-long companion.—
Manuscript 17, 1891
.
Avoid Praising Men and Familiarity—I am pained when I see
men praised, flattered, and petted. God has revealed the fact that some
who receive these attentions are unworthy to take His name into their
lips; yet they are exalted to heaven in the estimation of finite man, who
reads only from outward appearance. My sisters, never pet and flatter
poor, failing, erring men, either young or old, married or unmarried.
You know not their weaknesses, and you know not but these very
attentions and this profuse praise may prove their ruin. I am alarmed
