Testimonies on Sexual Behavior, Adultery, and Divorce
Were you in this country [Australia], I fully believe you would see
doors opening where you could be at work to be a lightbearer to those
who are in the darkness of error.
How would it be should you come to this country? Like Abraham,
going out not knowing whither he went, and humbly seeking guidance,
I plead that you make a break. Come here to Australia, while we are
here. Come on your own responsibility. You will have means, if you
sell your farm, to bring you here. Then I believe the way will open
for you to work, and may the Lord direct you, is my earnest wish and
sincere prayer....
There is work in abundance for you to do in the great harvest field.
Here are fields all ripe for the harvest, work to be entered upon in Syd-
ney, of about a million people, and Melbourne numbering still more.
There is Queensland to be entered. There are thirty Sabbathkeepers
in one place in Queensland that have never seen nor heard the living
preacher, and others are scattered all through that region, waiting for
[223]
the message of truth.
Will you please consider this matter, and write us what you think?
What are your finances? What are you thinking of doing? How is the
Lord leading your mind? Please consider the matter, and may the Lord
give you wisdom to move somewhere at once. In much love.—

Following the Lord’s Leading—Dear Brother and Sister G: I am
pleased to hear from you, and to learn that you are endeavoring to be of
still greater service to the cause of God. It is your privilege to receive a
rich blessing in helping others. You may be “diligent in business,” and
also “fervent in spirit, serving the Lord.” You may help your associates
in the exercise of your judgment, and by inculcating the principles of
economy. We must spend money judiciously, and I believe that you
will endeavor to do this.
Be ever hopeful, and increase in the grace and wisdom of Christ. I
am more than pleased that you can engage in school work and unite
your influence with other workers in opening the Scriptures to those
who do not understand the Word of God. I believe that the Lord has
been leading you.—
