Temperance
To Sense Our Responsibility
—Those who have labored in the
[222]
temperance cause, and who in their work have had the Lord behind
them, should have had far more labor put forth in their behalf. We
need to feel our responsibility in this work.—
The Review and Herald,
May 8, 1900

Relieved of Establishing Buildings
—It is the plan and constant
effort of Satan to entangle the work of God in a supposed beneficent
and excellent work, so that doors cannot be opened to enter new
fields and work with people who have an advanced acquaintance with
temperance principles. To unite with them in their work would be to
do a special work for this time, without taking on the responsibilities
of a work which will enforce an expenditure of means in establishing
buildings that will embarrass the conferences, a work which will
absorb and consume but not produce.—
Manuscript 46, 1900
.
God Will Open the Way
—Seek every opportunity to enlighten
and benefit the temperance workers. The temperance organization
is one that I have ever respected. If you will be guided by the Holy
Spirit, ways will open for you to work.—
Letter 316, 1907
