Equipment for Service
51
The completeness of Christian character is attained when the im-
pulse to help and bless others springs constantly from within, when the
sunshine of heaven fills the heart and is expressed in the countenance.—

The Highest Service
When men and women have formed characters which God can
endorse, when their self-denial and self-sacrifice have been fully made,
when they are ready for the final test, ready to be introduced into God’s
family, what service will stand highest in the estimation of Him who
gave Himself a willing offering to save a guilty race? What enterprise
will be most dear to the heart of infinite love? What work will bring the
greatest satisfaction and joy to the Father and the Son? The salvation
of perishing souls.—
Manuscript 51, 1901
