Gospel Workers 1915
They bound themselves up with the mightiest of all powers, and were
ever longing for a deeper, higher, broader comprehension of eternal
realities, that they might successfully present the treasures of truth to
a needy world.
Workers of this character are needed now, men who will consecrate
themselves without reserve to the work of representing the kingdom of
God to a world lying in wickedness. The world needs men of thought,
men of principle, men who are constantly growing in understanding
and discernment. There is great need of men who can use the press
to the best advantage, that the truth may be given wings to speed it to

the brink of ruin. There can be no harvest without seed-sowing, no
result without effort. Abraham was called to go forth from his home, a
light-bearer to the heathen. And without questioning, he obeyed. “He
went out, not knowing whither he went.” [
Hebrews 11:8
.] So today
God’s servants are to go where He calls, trusting Him to guide them
and to give them success in their work.
The terrible condition of the world would seem to indicate that the
death of Christ has been almost in vain, and that Satan has triumphed.
