Call for Recruits

Angels Accompany and Prepare Way
I ask you, dear Christian workers, to do what you can to circulate
the books that the Lord has said should be sown broadcast throughout
the world. Do your best to place them in the homes of as many people
as possible. Think of how great a work can be done if a large number
of believers will unite in an effort to place before the people, by the
circulation of these books, the light that the Lord has said should be
given them. Under divine guidance, go forward in the work, and look
to the Lord for aid. The Holy Spirit will attend you. Angels of heaven
will accompany you, preparing the way.
Entire Surrender to God
If you have neglected the sowing time, if you have allowed God-
given opportunities to pass unimproved, if you have given yourselves
up to self-pleasing, will you not now repent, before it is forever too
[41]
late, and strive to redeem the time? The obligation to use your talents
in the Master’s service rests heavily upon you. Come to the Lord,
and make an entire surrender of all to him. You cannot afford to lose
one day. Take up your neglected work. Put away your querulous
unbelief, your envy and evil-thinking, and go to work, in humble faith,
and with earnest prayer to the Lord to pardon you for your years of
unconsecration. Ask the Lord for help. If you seek him earnestly, with
the whole heart, you will find him, and he will strengthen and bless
you.
Help the Intemperate
In your work you will meet with those who are fighting against
appetite. Speak words that will strengthen and encourage them. Do
not let Satan quench the last spark of hope in their hearts. Of the erring,
trembling one, struggling with evil, Christ says, “Let him come to me;”
and he places his hands underneath him, and lifts him up. The work
that Christ did, you, as his evangelists, can do as you go from place
to place. Labor in faith, expecting that souls will be won to him who
gave his life that men and women might stand on God’s side. Draw
with God to win the drunkard and the tobacco devotee from the habits
which debase them till they are below the level of the beasts that perish
