much, and the Holy Spirit’s power will attend your labors. Our richest
blessings will come to us as we see our need and walk humbly with
God....
The loss in Mountain View has come as a test to the believers in
present truth. Those who carry on the work of printing the truth, to
be sent out broadcast, now need tangible evidence as to how the work
for this time is regarded by God’s people. In the rebuilding of Pacific
Press, money will be required. Let us remember that all we have is
the Lord’s. Let us manifest faith and put into the Lord’s treasury that
which is necessary, that this institution may be prepared to proclaim
the truth in its purity.—

Rebuilding and Witnessing in Mountain View—If it seems best
that the office shall be rebuilt in Mountain View, then let everyone
connected with the work here be a missionary, a blessing to those who
know not the truth. “Ye are laborers together with God.” Think how
tender Christ was with all who came to Him for help. If all will look,
not at the faults of others, but at their own shortcomings, and see that
they individually carry out the true principles of the law of God, our
brethren and sisters will be a blessing to the community.
A solemn responsibility rests upon everyone to maintain a living
connection with the God of truth. “Ye are,” Christ says, “the light of
the world.... Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your
good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven” (
Matthew
5:14-16
).—
