Spalding and Magan's Unpublished Manuscript Testimonies - Ellen G. White

If our church members were awake, they would
multiply their resources; they would send men and
women to our schools, not to go through a long
course of study, but to learn quickly, and go out
into the field. 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.
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
making themselves 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 our churches see that our youth
are educated in the Scriptures: for the gospel is the
power of God unto salvation.
