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

sometimes appear for efforts to be made, in a quiet,
unobtrusive manner, by white laborers for the
colored people. Such opportunities should not be
overlooked.
But we must not unnecessarily arouse prejudice
that would close the way against the proclamation
of the third angel's message to the white people.
They need this message; for a time of trouble is
before us, such as never was since there was a
nation.
Great care must be exercised that nothing be
said or done to inflame the feelings of the colored
people against the whites. Let us not aggravate the
difficulties that already exist. However wisely the
workers labor, they will have opposition to meet,
without creating an agitation over the color line.
Let us clear the King's highway. Let God have a
chance to work. Let men keep out of His way. He
will plan and manage better than human beings
possibly can. Let us remember that our first great
work is to preach the word of God, to give the
warnings of the Bible.
