the Lord Jesus in shedding the light of heaven into this sin-darkened
world.—

Workers From Every Church—God calls for workers from ev-
ery church among us to enter His service as canvasser evangelists.
God loves His church. If the members will do His will, if they will
strive to impart the light to those in darkness, He will greatly bless
their efforts. He represents the church as being the light of the world.
Through its faithful ministrations, a multitude that no man can number
will become children of God, fitted for the everlasting glory. Every
part of God’s dominion is to be filled with His glory. What, then,
is the church doing to enlighten the world, that from all parts of the

earth a tribute of praise and prayer and thanksgiving may ascend to
Him?—

different publications. Let none of you think that you cannot engage
in this work because it is taxing, and requires time and thought. If it
requires time, give it cheerfully; and the blessing of God will rest upon
you. There never was a time when more workers were needed than
at the present. There are brethren and sisters throughout all our ranks
who should discipline themselves to engage in this work; in all our

churches something should be done to spread the truth. It is the duty
