Testimonies for the Church, Volume 9 - Ellen G. White

Christian colored men will be called to the work.
But for several reasons white men must be chosen
as leaders. We are all members of one body and are
complete only in Christ Jesus, who will uplift His
people from the low level to which sin has
degraded them and will place them where they
shall be acknowledged in the heavenly courts as
laborers together with God.
There is work to be done in many hard places,
and out of these hard places bright laborers are to
come. Let the work be managed so that colored
laborers will be educated to work for their own
race. Among the Negro race there are many who
have talent and ability. Let us search out these men
and women, and teach them how to engage in the
work of saving souls. God will co-operate with
them and give them the victory.
