Lord Calls Women to His Service

of God, who should be bright and shining lights. There should be
thousands who know the time in which we are living, and who wait
not to be urged, but who are constrained by the power of God to diffuse
light, to open to others the truth that is so distinctly revealed in the
Word of God. There is no time to lose.
Men and women should be ministering in unenlightened commu-
nities in regions beyond. After they have awakened an interest, they
should find the living preacher who is skillful in the presentation of the
truth, and qualified to instruct families in the Word of God. Women
who have the cause of God at heart can do a good work in the districts
in which they reside. Christ speaks of women who helped Him in
presenting the truth before others, and Paul also speaks of women who
labored with him in the gospel. But how very limited is the work done
by those who could do a large work if they would! There are families
that have means which they could use for God’s glory in going to
distant lands to let their light shine forth in good works to those who
need help. Why do not men and women engage in the missionary
work, following the example of Christ?—
