Extracts From Testimonies

EGW

“Now as never before we need to understand the true science of education. If we fail to understand this, we shall never have a place in the kingdom of God.”GCDB February 28, 1899, par. 1

“The work that lies next to our church-members is to become interested in our youth.”GCDB February 28, 1899, par. 2

“Through a vital connection with God, men and women may quickly gain a knowledge of that great text-book, the word of God, and go forth to impart what they have received.”GCDB February 28, 1899, par. 3

“Let workers enter the field without going through many preliminaries. Teach them that they are to walk humbly with God, and to begin labor just where they see it is needed. Thus our working force may be greatly increased.” “A great work is being done in medical missionary lines, and its necessities are constantly being felt; but this work need not absorb the funds required in other lines. The medical missionary work, if rightly managed, may be made largely self-sustaining. Let our conferences and churches see that our youth are educated in the Scriptures; for the gospel is the power of God unto salvation.”GCDB February 28, 1899, par. 4

“Let us in our educational work embrace far more than we have done of the children and youth, and there will be a whole army of missionaries raised up to work for God.”GCDB February 28, 1899, par. 5
