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

No Other Human Being Fully Shares Inner Life.-- Viewed from its human side, life
is to all an untried path. It is a path in which, as regards our deeper experiences, we
each walk alone. Into our inner life no other human being can fully enter. As the little
child sets forth on that journey in which sooner or later he must choose his own course,
himself deciding life's issues for eternity, how earnest should be the effort to direct his
trust to the sure Guide and Helper!--Ed 255 (1903). {2MCP 429.3}
Character Is Personal.--Character is personal. We each have a work to do for time
and for eternity. God abhors indifference in regard to the formation of character.--Lt
223, 1903. {2MCP 429.4}
Recognizing Man's Rights.--One of the very highest applications of these
principles [recognition of personal responsibilities] is found in the recognition of man's
right to himself, to the control of his own mind, to the stewardship of his talents, the right
to receive and to impart the fruit of his own labor. Strength and power will
430
be in our institutions only as in all their connection with their fellowmen they recognize
these principles--only as in their dealing they give heed to the instruction of the Word of
God.--7T 180 (1902). {2MCP 429.5}
Dependent Upon Christ.--Each soul has an individuality. Each soul must live in
hourly communion with Christ; for He says, "Without Me ye can do nothing" (John
15:5). His principles are to be our principles; for these principles are the everlasting
truth, proclaimed in righteousness, goodness, mercy, and love.--Lt 21, 1901. {2MCP
430.1}
Individuality in Christian Experience to Be Preserved.--Teach every soul to lean
heavily on the arm of infinite power. There is an individuality in Christian experience that
must be preserved in every human agent, and the responsibility cannot be removed
from any soul. Each one has his own battles to fight, his own Christian experience to
gain, independent in some respects from any other soul; and God has lessons for each
to gain for himself that no other can gain for him.--MS 6, 1889. {2MCP 430.2}

The Law of Mutual Dependence.--We are all woven together in the great web of
humanity, and whatever we can do to benefit and uplift others will reflect in blessing
upon ourselves. The law of mutual dependence runs through all classes of society.--PP
