of fellow human beings as their Master shared the sorrows of the
whole human race, will by faith see Him working with them.
“The great day of the Lord is near; it is near and hastens quickly.”

Zephaniah 1:14
. And a world is to be warned.
With such preparation as they can gain, thousands upon thou-
sands of people of all ages should be giving themselves to this work.
Already many are responding to the call of the Master Worker, and
their numbers will increase. Christian educators should give such
workers sympathy and cooperation. They should encourage and
assist students under their care to gain the preparation needed for
service.
In no line of work can young people receive greater benefit.
All who engage in ministry are God’s helping hand. They are
co-workers with the angels; rather, they are the human agencies
through whom the angels accomplish their mission. Angels speak
through their voices, and work by their hands. And the human
workers, cooperating with heavenly agencies, have the benefit of
their education and experience. As a means of education, what
“university course” can equal this?
With such an army of workers as our youth, rightly trained, might
furnish, how soon the message of a crucified, risen, and soon-coming
Savior 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 in it forever,” where “the inhabitant will not say,
‘I am sick,’” and “the voice of weeping shall no longer be heard.”
