Spalding and Magan's Unpublished Manuscript Testimonies - Ellen G. White

Chapter 67
A Call to Service
A Call to Service God calls for workers. The
cause needs men who are self-made, who, placing
themselves in the hands of God, as humble learners
have proved themselves workers together with
Him. These are the men that are needed in the
ministry and in the school work. Let those who
have shown themselves to be men, move out and
do what they can in the Master's service. Let them
step into the ranks of the workers, and by patient,
continuous effort prove their worth. It is in the
water, not on the land, that we learn to swim. Let
them fill with fidelity the place to which they are
called, that they may be qualified for still higher
responsibilities. God gives all opportunity to
perfect themselves in His service.
He who puts on the armor to war a good
warfare will gain greater and still greater ability as
he strives to perfect his knowledge of God,
working in harmony with the plan God has laid
