disclosure of the Saviour’s love turns the balance for some soul in one
direction or the other. The end of all things is at hand. The men of the
world are rushing on to their ruin. Their schemes, their confederacies,
are many. New devices will continually be brought in to make of no
effect the counsel of God. Men are heaping up treasures of gold and
silver to be consumed by the fires of the last days.—

The Lord Calls for Many—The new year is just before us, and
plans should be laid for earnest, persevering effort in the Master’s
service. There is much to be done to advance the work of God. I have
been instructed that the canvassing work is to be revived, and that it is
to be carried forward with increasing success. It is the Lord’s work,
and a blessing will attend those who engage in it with earnestness and
[18]
diligence.—

The Lord calls for many more to engage in the canvassing work....
For Christ’s sake, my brethren and sisters, make the most of the hours
of the new year to place the precious light of present truth before the
people. The Angel of the covenant is empowering His servants to carry
the truth to all parts of the world. He has sent forth His angels with
the message of mercy; but, as if they did not speed on their way fast
enough to satisfy His heart of yearning love, He lays on every member
of His church the responsibility of proclaiming this message. “Let him
that heareth say, Come.” Every member of the church is to show his
loyalty by inviting the thirsty to drink of the water of life. A chain of
living witnesses is to carry the invitation to the world. Will you act
your part in this great work?
Both Men and Women—Jesus is calling for many missionaries, for
men and women who will consecrate themselves to God, willing to
spend and be spent in His service. Oh, can we not remember that here
is a world to labor for? Shall we not move forward step by step, letting
God use us as His helping hand? Shall we not place ourselves on the
altar of service? Then the love of Christ will touch and transform us,
make us willing for His sake to do and dare.—

Many, both men and women, can do an excellent work by canvass-
ing for books that are full of direct, simple instruction on practical
godliness.—
