Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students
Great blessings are in store for us as we wisely handle these
precious books given us for the advancement of the cause of present
truth. And as we labor in accordance with the Lord’s plan we shall
find that many consecrated youth will be fitted to enter the regions
beyond as practical missionaries, and at the same time the confer-
ences in the home field will have means with which to contribute
liberally to the support of the work undertaken in new territory. May
17, 1908.

The word of God is to stand on its own eternal merits; to be
accepted as the word of God; to be obeyed as His voice, which
declares His will to the people. The will and voice of finite man are
not to be interpreted as the voice of God.
Those who teach the most solemn message ever given to the
world should discipline the mind to comprehend its significance.
The theme of redemption will bear the most concentrated study,
and its depths will never be fully explored. Do not fear that you
will exhaust the wonderful theme. Go to the fountain for yourself,
that you may be filled with refreshment. Drink deep at the well of
salvation, that Jesus may be in you a well of water, springing up
unto everlasting life.
