Spalding and Magan's Unpublished Manuscript Testimonies - Ellen G. White

Church school teachers should be men and
women who have a humble estimate of themselves,
who are not full of vain conceit. They should be
humble, faithful workers, filled with the true
missionary spirit, workers who have learned to put
their trust in God and to do their work in his name.
They should possess the attributes of Christ's
character - patience, kindness, mercy, and love;
and into the daily experience they should bring the
Saviour's righteousness and peace and grace. Then,
working with fragrant influence, they will give
evidence of what grace can do through the
weakness of the human agents who make God their
dependance and their trust.
The Lord has shown me what can be done for
the younger children of our people, if they are
educated in the fear and love of God. Let every
church school established be conducted with such
order that Christ can honor the schoolroom with his
presence. There is much work to do for the Master.
He will accept no cheap, shoddy service. Let
teachers be learners, putting the whole mind to the
task of learning how to do service for the Master.
