Our evidence to nonprofessors that we have the truth of the word
of God will be given in a life of strict self-denial. We must not make
a mockery of our faith, but ever keep before us the example of Him
who, though He was the Prince of heaven, stooped to a life of self-
denial and sacrifice to vindicate the righteousness of His Father’s
word. Let us each resolve to do our best, that the light of our good
works may shine forth to the world.
Unity in Progress
Perfect agreement should exist in the plans laid for the publica-
tion of our books and periodicals, that the light which they contain
may be quickly carried everywhere to the nominal churches and to
the world. Much more should have been accomplished in the sale of
our books than we see accomplished today.
Our ministers should call upon the church members to let the
truth triumph. “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of
the Lord is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover
the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise
upon thee, and His glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles
shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.”
Isaiah 60:1-3
. Unity and love will accomplish wonderful things for
the believers. Will not our churches arouse and give the last warning
message to the world?
Our Relief Books
Christ’s Object Lessons
is a book that speaks for itself, and it
has accomplished a good work. As it has been sold, and the object

of its sale related, money has been received that has relieved the

the book have been blessed by its lessons of truth, and many others
will be blessed by reading it.
The book
Ministry of Healing
may do the same work for our
sanitariums and health institutions that
Christ’s Object Lessons
has
done for our schools. This book contains the wisdom of the Great
Physician. To me it has been a precious privilege to donate my work
