Testimonies for the Church Volume 4
contrary to the spirit of Christianity. It is altogether satanic in its nature
and development.
In one of His precious lessons to His disciples, our Saviour de-
scribed God’s care for His creatures in these words: “Are not five
sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten be-
fore God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.”
He who stoops to notice even the little birds has a special care for all
branches of His work. All who are employed in our institutions are
under the eye of the infinite God. He sees whether their duties are per-
formed with strict integrity or in a careless, dishonest manner. Angels
are walking unseen through every room of these institutions. Angels
are constantly ascending to heaven, bearing up the record with joy or
sadness. Every act of fidelity is registered, every act of dishonesty also
is recorded, and every person is finally to be rewarded as his works
have been.
