The Lord God of Israel desires us to link up in holy union with
Himself and exercise the living faith that works by love and purifies
the soul. He desires that we shall be a working corps of laborers
endowed with adaptability for His service, and to such He promises
power to win a glorious victory for Him.

The men who stand as leaders in any part of the solemn work
of the last gospel message must cultivate and cherish broad views
and ideas. It is the privilege of all who bear responsibilities in the
work of the gospel to be apt learners in the school of Christ. The
[88]
professed follower of Christ must not be led by the dictates of his
own will; his mind must be trained to think Christ’s thoughts and
enlightened to comprehend the will and way of God. Such a believer
will be a follower of Christ’s methods of work.
Our brethren should not forget that the wisdom of God has made
provision for our schools in a way that will bring blessing to all who
participate in the enterprise. The book
Christ’s Object Lessons
was
donated to the educational work, that the students and other friends
of the schools might handle these books and by their sale raise much
of the means needed to lift the school indebtedness. But this plan
has not been presented to our schools as it should have been; the
teachers and students have not been educated to take hold of this
book and courageously push its sale for the benefit of the educational
work.
Long ago the teachers and students in our schools should have
learned to take advantage of the opportunity to raise means by the
sale of
Christ’s Object Lessons
. In selling these books the students
will serve the cause of God, and, while doing this, by the dissemina-
tion of precious light, they will learn invaluable lessons in Christian
experience. All our schools should now come into line and earnestly
endeavor to carry out the plan presented to us for the education of
workers, for the relief of the schools, and for the winning of souls to
the cause of Christ.
