Working for All Classes
Preach the Truth to All Classes—The gospel invitation is to be
given to the rich and the poor, the high and the low, and we must
devise means for carrying the truth into new places, and to all classes
of people.—
Medical Ministry, 312
(1899).
Give Them an Opportunity to Understand—Let none receive
the idea that the poor and unlearned are to be neglected. Right methods
of labor will not in any sense exclude these. It was one of the evidences
of Christ’s Messiahship that the poor had the gospel preached to them.
We should study to give all classes an opportunity to understand the
special truths for this time.—
The Review and Herald, November 25,

A Saving Message for Every Soul—Many have a deep sense of
need—a need that earthly riches or pleasures cannot supply; but they
know not how to receive that for which they are longing.
The gospel of Christ is from beginning to end the gospel of saving
grace. It is a distinctive and controlling idea. It will be a help to the
needy, light for the eyes that are blind to the truth, and a guide to souls
seeking for the true foundation. Full and everlasting salvation is within
the reach of every soul. Christ is waiting and longing to speak pardon,
and impart the freely offered grace. He is watching and waiting, saying

as He said to the blind man at the gate of Jericho, “What wilt thou that
I should do unto thee?” I will take away thy sins; I will wash you in
My blood.
In all the highways of life there are souls to be saved. The blind
are groping in darkness. Give them the light, and God will bless you
as His laborers.—
Letter 60, 1903

Plans for the High Classes Will Reach All—Bring your minds
up to the greatness of the work. Your narrow plans, your limited
ideas, are not to come into your methods of working. There must be
reform on this point, and there will be more means brought in to enable
the work to be brought up to the high and exalted position it should
ever occupy. There will be men who have means who will discern
