The Publishing Ministry
Even though these books do not sell as readily as they would if
thoroughly revised, yet the resetting of them will place upon me a
heavier burden than I am able to bear....
I might have consented to a considerable outlay of means had not
the Lord instructed me that there would be dissatisfaction created,
because a new edition would render the old editions unsalable. I want
my every movement to be true to God and to maintain the principles
of His law. I must love Him supremely, and my neighbor as myself....
Time is nearing its close. I want every transaction to show the
marks of unselfishness.—
Letter 229, 1903
