Spalding and Magan's Unpublished Manuscript Testimonies - Ellen G. White

"The advice that was given to Moses when he
was overburdened with cares and perplexities, is of
the highest value today to those who are in
positions of responsibility in God's cause. The
counsel given him should be carefully studied by
those entrusted with the management of the work
in the Lord's vineyard. No one man or set of men is
to have supreme authority to shape and to control
the policy of the workers in the entire field, even
with respect to the canvassing work; for every
section of the country, especially the Southern
field, which has been so long neglected, has its
peculiar features, and must be worked accordingly.
Let men be willing to understand these features and
in their work for these fields prepare themselves by
putting on every piece of the Christian armor, not
forgetting to wear the gospel shoes."
The apostle says: -- (Quoted, Ephesians 6:11-
18.)
My brethren, these are the directions given you
by God. Let no man complicate or mystify the
plain directions by the highest Authority. Preach
