Evangelism
will move out in the fear of God, bearing the message the Saviour
gave to the first disciples, “The kingdom of God is come nigh unto
you.”—
Manuscript 65, 1908

Missionary Families for Towns and Villages—Brethren who
wish to change their location, who have the glory of God in view,
and feel that individual responsibility rests upon them to do others
good, to benefit and save souls for whom Christ withheld not His
precious life, should move into towns and villages where there is little
or no light and where they can be of real service and bless others
with their labor and experience. Missionaries are wanted to go into
towns and villages, and raise the standard of truth, that God may have
His witnesses scattered all over the land, that the light of truth may
penetrate where is has not yet reached, and the standard of truth be
raised where it is not yet known....
Jesus did not neglect the villages. The record declares that “He
went throughout every city and village, preaching and showing the
glad tidings of the kingdom of God”....
Now is it not the duty of some who are standing idle here (Battle
Creek), to go where they can represent Christ and His precious truth?—
