Methods of Labor
105
Christians who are living in the great centers of commerce and
travel have special opportunities. Believers in these cities can work
for God in the neighborhood of their homes.
In the world-renowned health resorts and centers of tourist traffic,
crowded with many thousands of seekers after health and pleasure,
there should be stationed ministers and canvassers capable of arrest-

them, and they must be making ready to stand in the judgment.
As they consecrate themselves to God, a convincing power will
attend their efforts to present the truth to others. We must no longer
sleep on Satan’s enchanted ground, but call into requisition all our
resources, availing ourselves of every facility with which Providence
has furnished us. The last warning is to be proclaimed before “many
peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings,” and the promise is
