value. The Lord desires to have men of intelligence connected with
His work,—men qualified for various positions of trust in our con-
ferences and institutions. Especially are consecrated business men
needed,—men who will carry the principles of truth into every busi-
ness transaction. Those placed in charge of financial matters should
not assume other burdens,—burdens that they are incapable of bear-
ing; nor is the business management to be entrusted to incompetent
men.—

Funds to be Wisely Invested—The men in positions of trust
should regard the means they handle as God’s revenue, and use it
in an economical manner. When there is an abundance in the treasury,
they are not to invest it in adding building to building in places already
provided with memorials for God. Hundreds of other places are in
need of this money, that they, too, may have something established to
represent the truth. All parts of the Lord’s vineyard are to be worked.
The power to use and disburse the Lord’s money is not to be left to the
judgment of any one man.—
