Dignity of <strong>the</strong> Book Work<br />

The work of bookmaking is a grand and good<br />

work; but it has not always stood in <strong>the</strong> high and<br />

holy position that God designed it should occupy,<br />

because self has been interwoven with <strong>the</strong> work of<br />

some who have engaged in it. The book work<br />

should be <strong>the</strong> means of quickly giving <strong>the</strong> sacred<br />

light of present truth to <strong>the</strong> world. The publications<br />

that come <strong>for</strong>th from our presses today are to be of<br />

such a character as to streng<strong>the</strong>n every pin and<br />

pillar of <strong>the</strong> faith that was established by <strong>the</strong> word<br />

of God and by <strong>the</strong> revelations of His Spirit.<br />

The truth that God has given <strong>for</strong> His people in<br />

<strong>the</strong>se last days should keep <strong>the</strong>m firm when <strong>the</strong>re<br />

come into <strong>the</strong> church those who present false<br />

<strong>the</strong>ories. The truth that has stood firm against <strong>the</strong><br />

attacks of <strong>the</strong> enemy <strong>for</strong> more than half a century<br />

must still be <strong>the</strong> confidence and com<strong>for</strong>t of God's<br />

people.<br />
