"There is little that any <strong>of</strong> you can do alone. Two or more<br />

are better than one if you will each esteem the other<br />

better than yourself. If any <strong>of</strong> you consider your plans and<br />

modes <strong>of</strong> labor perfect, you greatly deceive yourselves.<br />

Counsel together with much prayer and humbleness <strong>of</strong> mind,<br />

willing to be entreated and advised. This will bring you<br />

where God will be your counselor. . . . p. 303, Para. 3,<br />

[LS15].<br />

"We are not to make the world's manner <strong>of</strong> dealing ours. We<br />

are to give to the world a nobler example, showing that our<br />

faith is <strong>of</strong> a high and elevated character. Do unto others<br />

as you would that others should do unto you. Let every<br />

action reveal the nobility <strong>of</strong> truth. Be true to your faith,<br />

and you will be true to God. Come to the Word, that you may<br />

learn what its claims really are. When God speaks, it is<br />

our duty to listen and obey. . . . p. 303, Para. 4,<br />

[LS15].<br />

"From the very first establishment <strong>of</strong> your work, begin in<br />

a dignified, Godlike manner, that you may give character to<br />

the influence <strong>of</strong> the truth which you know to be <strong>of</strong> heavenly<br />

birth. But remember that great care is to be exercised in<br />

guardedly. Dwell upon practical godliness, weaving the same<br />

into doctrinal discourses. The teachings and love <strong>of</strong> Christ<br />

will s<strong>of</strong>ten and subdue the soil <strong>of</strong> the heart for the good<br />

seed <strong>of</strong> truth, and you will obtain the confidence <strong>of</strong> the<br />

people by working to obtain acquaintance with them. But<br />

keep up the elevated character <strong>of</strong> the work. Let the<br />

publications, the papers, the pamphlets, be working among<br />

the people, and preparing the minds <strong>of</strong> the reading class<br />

for the preaching <strong>of</strong> the truth. Let no stinted efforts be<br />

made in this line, and the work, if begun wisely and<br />

prosecuted wisely, will result in success. But do be humble<br />

and teachable, if you would teach others and lead them in<br />

the way <strong>of</strong> truth and righteousness." p. 304, Para. 1,<br />

[LS15].<br />

"Go Forward!" -- In reviewing the progress attained up to<br />

the close <strong>of</strong> the year 1887, Mrs. White wrote freely<br />

concerning the opening providences <strong>of</strong> God in Europe, and<br />

the opportunities <strong>of</strong> the future. She said: p. 304, Para.<br />
