doing this class of work there would be created an entirely different
atmosphere surrounding the soul of the workers, for the Holy Spirit
communicates to all those who are doing God’s service, and those
who are worked by the Holy Spirit will be a power for good in lifting
[568]
up, strengthening, and saving the souls that are ready to perish.—
Manuscript 14a, 1897
.
To Keep People From Becoming Abandoned—We are to use
our means and our talents of influence in proclaiming the truth that
will keep people from becoming abandoned. If we will take up the
work the Lord has given us to do, the truth will reach many of this
class in various ways. But we are not to neglect the lines of work that
the Lord has especially directed us to carry forward. All classes are to
be reached.
If those who labor for the abandoned and fallen would work in the
fear of the Lord, striving to make those for whom they labor understand
what is truth, many of these outcasts would be distinguished as children
of God.—
Letter 143, 1904
.
Selection of Workers for the Outcasts—Great care should be
taken in working for the outcasts. Neither young men nor young
women should be sent into the lowest places of our cities. The sight of
the eyes and the hearing of the ears of young men and women should
be kept from evil. There is much that the youth can do for the Master.
If they will watch and pray and make God their trust, they will be
prepared to do various kinds of excellent work under the supervision
of experienced laborers.—
