Evangelism
There is work for all to do in order that the simple truths of the Word
of God may be made known. The words of Scripture should be printed
and published just as they read. It would be well if the nineteenth and
the greater portion of the twentieth chapters of Exodus, with verses
twelve to eighteen of the thirty-first chapter, were printed just as they
stand. Crowd these truths into small books and pamphlets, and let the
word of God speak to the people. When a discourse concerning the
law is preached that is right to the point, if you have any means of
doing so, get it into a printed leaflet. Then when those who plead for
Sunday laws meet you, place these leaflets in their hands. Tell them
that you have no discussion over the Sunday question, for you have a
plain “Thus saith the Lord” for the keeping of the seventh day.—

Make the Distinguishing Mark Prominent—We are to give to
the world a manifestation of the pure, noble, holy principles that are to
distinguish the people of God from the world. Instead of the people of
God becoming less and less definitely distinguished from those who
do not keep the seventh-day Sabbath, they are to make the observance
of the Sabbath so prominent that the world cannot fail to recognize
them as Seventh-day Adventist.—

Called to Expose Man of Sin—In the very time in which we live
the Lord has called His people and has given them a message to bear.
He has called them to expose the wickedness of the man of sin who has
made the Sunday law a distinctive power, who has thought to change
times and laws, and to oppress the people of God who stand firmly to
honor Him by keeping the only true Sabbath, the Sabbath of creation,
as holy unto the Lord.—

A Distinct People With a Testing Message—The Lord has been
pleased to give His people the third angel’s message as a testing
message to bear to the world. John beholds a people distinct and
separate from the world, who refuse to worship the beast or his image,
who bear God’s sign, keeping holy His Sabbath—the seventh-day to
be kept holy as a memorial of the living God, the Creator of heaven
and earth. Of them the apostle writes, “Here are they that keep the
commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.”—
