The Colporteur Evangelist
it may be heard by all the world. Let it be seen that ’here are they that
keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.’
Revelation
14:12
. Let our literature give the message as a witness to all the world.”
Books That Deal with Bible Subjects
Our workers should now be encouraged to give their first attention
to books that deal with the evidences of our faith—books that teach
the doctrines of the Bible and that will prepare a people to stand in the
trying times before us. Having brought a people to the enlightenment
of the truth by prayerful labor in Bible instruction, and through a wise
use of our publications, we are to teach them to become laborers in
[101]
word and doctrine. We are to encourage them to scatter the books that
deal with Bible subjects—books the teachings of which will prepare a
people to stand, having their loins girded with truth and their lamps
burning.
Preach by Books and Periodicals
We have been asleep, as it were, regarding the work that may be
accomplished by the circulation of well-prepared literature. Let us
now, by the wise use of periodicals and books, preach the word with
determined energy, that the world may understand the message that
Christ gave to John on the Isle of Patmos. Let every human intelligence
who professes the name of Christ testify: “The end of all things is at
hand; prepare to meet thy God.”
Amos 4:12
.
Publications to Go Everywhere
Our publications should go everywhere. Let them be issued in
many languages. The third angel’s message is to be given through
this medium and through the living teacher. You who believe the truth
for this time, wake up. It is your duty now to bring in all the means
possible to help those who understand the truth to proclaim it. Part of
the money that comes in from the sale of our publications should be
used to increase our facilities for the production of more literature that
will open blind eyes and break up the fallow ground of the heart.
