Women in Evangelism
In This Time of Crisis—The Lord has a work for women as well
as for men. They may take their places in His work at this crisis,
and He will work through them. If they are imbued with a sense of
their duty, and labor under the influence of the Holy Spirit, they will
have just the self-possession required for this time. The Saviour will
reflect upon these self-sacrificing women the light of His countenance,
and will give them a power that exceeds that of men. They can do in
families a work that men cannot do, a work that reaches the inner life.
They can come close to the hearts of those whom men cannot reach.

be a larger number of women engaged in the work of ministering to
suffering humanity, uplifting, educating them how to believe—simply
to believe—in Jesus Christ our Saviour. And as souls give themselves
to the Lord Jesus, making an entire surrender, they will understand the
doctrine....
I am pained because our sisters in America are not more of them
doing the work they might do for the Lord Jesus. Abiding in Christ,
they would receive courage and strength and faith for the work. Many
women love to talk. Why can’t they talk the words of Christ to perish-
ing souls? The more closely we are related to Christ, the heart learns
the wretchedness of souls that do not know God, and who do not feel
