Power of the Truth to Convict and Convert Souls

Sinners Become Workers
I am instructed to say that some who outwardly appear the most
fully given to sin will, when light flashes into the soul, make most
successful workers in places where there are just such sinners as they
themselves once were.
Written for Canvassers
I write this because those engaged in canvassing work and in
house-to-house labor often meet men and women who are coarse and
forbidding in outward appearance, but who, if won to the truth, will
be among its most loyal and stanch adherents. The spirit of truth is
indeed of value in any church. Those whom the Lord uses may not
always have outward polish, but if they have integrity of character, the
Lord accounts them precious.
Principles of Strictest Integrity
As the end draws near, the work of God is to increase in full
strength and purity and holiness. The workers are to be filled with
love for God and for one another. They are to cherish principles of the
strictest integrity. When the true keynote is struck, God will reveal
himself as a God of mercy and love. Angels of heaven will draw near

to the members of the church on earth to aid them in their necessity.
Let us ever remember that we are laborers together with God. In this
heavenly union we shall carry forward his work with completeness,
with singing and rejoicing. In every soul will be kindled the fire of
holy zeal. Company after company will leave the dark standard of the
foe to come up to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against
the mighty.
Must Gain Deeper Experience
God’s workers must gain a far deeper experience. If they will
surrender all to him, he will work mightily for them. They will plant
the standard of truth upon fortresses till then held by Satan, and with
shouts of victory take possession of them. They bear the scars of battle,
