Gospel Workers 1915
* * * * *
The number of workers in the ministry is not to be lessened, but
greatly increased. Where there is now one minister in the field, twenty
[66]
are to be added; and if the Spirit of God controls them, these twenty
will so present the truth that twenty more will be added.

Christ’s dignity and office-work are in imposing such conditions
as He pleases. His followers are to become more and more a power in
the proclamation of the truth as they draw nearer to the perfection of
faith and of love for their brethren. God has provided divine assistance
for all the emergencies to which our human resources are unequal. He
gives the Holy Spirit to help in every strait, to strengthen our hope and
assurance, to illuminate our minds and purify our hearts. He means that
sufficient facilities shall be provided for the working out of His plans.
I bid you seek counsel from God. Seek Him with the whole heart, and
“whatsoever He saith unto you, do.” [
John 2:5

With such an army of workers as our youth, rightly trained, might
furnish, how soon the message of a crucified, risen, and soon-coming
Saviour might be carried to the whole world! How soon might the
end come,—the end of suffering and sorrow and sin! How soon, in
place of a possession here, with its blight of sin and pain, our children
might receive their inheritance where “the righteous shall inherit the
land, and dwell therein forever;” where “the inhabitant shall not say, I
am sick,” and “the voice of weeping shall be no more heard!” [
