In selling <strong>the</strong>se books <strong>the</strong> youth would be<br />

acting as missionaries, <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>y would be bringing<br />

precious light to <strong>the</strong> notice of <strong>the</strong> people of <strong>the</strong><br />

world. At <strong>the</strong> same time <strong>the</strong>y would be earning<br />

money to enable <strong>the</strong>m to attend school, where <strong>the</strong>y<br />

could continue <strong>the</strong>ir preparation <strong>for</strong> wider<br />

usefulness in <strong>the</strong> Lord's cause. In <strong>the</strong> school <strong>the</strong>y<br />

would receive encouragement and inspiration from<br />

teachers and students to continue <strong>the</strong>ir work of<br />

selling books; and when <strong>the</strong> time came <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>m to<br />

leave school, <strong>the</strong>y would have received a practical<br />

training fitting <strong>the</strong>m <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> hard, earnest, selfsacrificing<br />

labor that has to be done in many<br />

<strong>for</strong>eign fields, where <strong>the</strong> third angel's message<br />

must be carried under difficult and trying<br />

circumstances.<br />

How much better is this plan than <strong>for</strong> students<br />

to go through school without obtaining a practical<br />

education in field work, and, at <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

course, leave under a burden of debt, with but little<br />

realization of <strong>the</strong> difficulties <strong>the</strong>y will have to meet<br />
