Mind, Character, and Personality Vol. 2 - Second Advent Revival

consistent Christian. Possess a love of purity and humble simplicity, and let these be
interwoven with your life.--2T 314 (1869). {2MCP 632.2}
Never Feel Alone.--You may never be lonesome, never feel that you are alone, if
you will take Jesus as your Companion and your Everlasting Friend.--Lt 4, 1885. {2MCP
632.3}
Neglect Destroys the Soul.--It is not only by resistance but by neglect that the soul
is destroyed.-- DA 323 (1898). {2MCP 632.4}
Bear With One Another.--We must bear with one another, remembering our
failings. With some have compassion, making a difference; others save with fear,
pulling
633
them out of the fire. All cannot bear the same rigid discipline. All cannot be brought up
to just another's ideas of duty. Allowance must be made for different temperaments and
different minds. God knows how to deal with us. But my heart has been sick as I have
seen brother deal with brother and the disposition to catch another in his words and to
make a man an offender for a word. . . . {2MCP 632.5}
It is time for all to take hold of the work, not stop to measure off just the share of
wrong belonging to another, but each search his own heart, confess his own wrongs,
and leave his brethren with the Lord. One has only to answer for his or her wrongs; and
while so narrowly watching to pull the weeds from the garden of his brethren, the
poisonous weeds are growing strong and rank in his own. Let each labor to keep his
own soul and to possess a happy, cheerful, forbearing spirit at home, and all will be
well.--Lt 12, 1863. {2MCP 633.1}
Not All Think Alike.--Wholehearted service is required in dealing with minds. Let us
remember this. Often we are tempted to criticize a man standing in a high position of
responsibility because he does not do as we think he ought to do. But the one who has
so many responsibilities to carry needs not the criticism of his fellow workers; he needs
their encouragement, their forbearance, their patience, and their prayers. He needs the
abiding presence of Christ; for it is not always that he has wise, unprejudiced men to
counsel with. {2MCP 633.2}
In the confusion of many cares and many calls for help, he may make mistakes.
Among the scores of appeals that come for help, your case may seem to be neglected.
At such times remember the heavy burdens that are laid upon the one whom you think
has failed to do his duty. Remember that it may be impossible for him to grant your
request. Perhaps it would be a great mistake to grant it.--Lt 169, 1904. {2MCP 633.3}
The Lord Stands by His Messengers.--The Lord would have every human
intelligence in His service
