Restaurant Work
501
But if there is no ingathering of souls, if the helpers themselves are not
spiritually benefited, if they are not glorifying God in word and deed,
why should we open and maintain such establishments? If we cannot
conduct our restaurants to God’s glory, if we cannot exert through
them a strong religious influence, it would be better for us to close
them up and use the talents of our youth in other lines of work. But our
restaurants can be so conducted that they will be the means of saving
souls. Let us seek the Lord earnestly for humility of heart, that He may
teach us how to walk in the light of His counsel, how to understand
His word, how to accept it, and how to put it into practice.
