essential matter has been greatly neglected. In the office at Battle
Creek, at Basel, and at Christiana [now Oslo], there is pressing need of
translators in these different languages.... We want a hundred workers
where there is one.
The heavy responsibilities should not rest upon one man in any
branch of the work. Two or three should be fitted to share the burden,
so that if one should be called to another post of duty, another may
come in to supply his place. Provision has not been made half as
extensively as it should have been, against any and every emergency.
A fund should be raised to educate for missionary work those who
will give themselves unreservedly to God and the cause, and who will
labor not for large wages, but for the love of Christ, to save souls for
whom He died.—

A Liberal Education to Be Provided—As a people who claim
to have advanced light, we are to devise ways and means by which to

the Lord. We have done something toward reaching this standard, but
still we are far behind that which the Lord has designed.—

is to be done, and I have tried to present this before our people. I spent
two years in Europe, going over the field three times. And each time
I went, I saw improvement in the work, and the last time a decided
[135]
improvement was manifest. And oh, what a burning desire filled my
heart to see this great field, London especially, worked as it should
be. Why have not workers been sent there, men and women who
could have planned for the advancement of the work? I have wondered
why our people, those who are not ordained ministers, but who have
a connection with God, who understand the Scriptures, do not open
the Word to others. If they would engage in this work, great blessing
would come to their own souls. God wants His people to work. To
every man—and that means every woman, also—He has given His
