Spalding and Magan's Unpublished Manuscript Testimonies - Ellen G. White

that he is not needed more in some other place.
The way that the Lord has presented the matter
to me is that it is not the best thing for the school to
have a long list of salaried instructors. It is to be as
the schools of the prophets. It is to have a sufficient
number of teachers, but not too many. An extra
teacher at the school might be very much needed in
some other place, where his special talent could be
used to great advantage.
It is not wise general ship for our brethren at
Berrien Springs to reach out and draw men from
work just as important as the work of the school,
work where their talents are greatly needed. We
need to offer most earnest prayer to God, that the
right men may be placed in the right places. Let the
Lord's will be done. Man may propose but God
must do the disposing. ...
The teacher is to feel entire dependence on
Christ. As capable a teacher as can be secured
should be provided to take charge of the Bible
studies.
