Testimonies for the Church, Volume 8 - Ellen G. White

would have been made which, when strong, would
have assisted to make plants in other places.
The Lord is not partial. But He has been
misrepresented by His workmen. That which
should have been done in many different parts of
His vineyard has been greatly hindered, because
men at the heart of the work have failed to see how
the work could be advanced in more distant parts
of the vineyard. In some parts of the field the work
has been overdone. In this way money has been
absorbed that should have been used to enable
workers in other parts of the vineyard to move
forward without hindrance in planting the standard
of truth in new places. Some portions of the
vineyard are not to be robbed in order that the
means may be used freely in other portions of the
field.
Man judges in accordance with his finite
judgment. God looks at the character of the fruit
borne and then judges the tree. In the name of the
Lord I call upon all to think of the work that we are
required to do and how this work is to be sustained.
