Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers - Ellen G. White

it we convey rich thoughts of the Redeemer's love.
By this work, the canvasser can scatter the seeds of
truth, causing the light from the word of God to
shine into many minds.
I sincerely hope that no mind will receive the
impression that it belittles a minister of the gospel
to canvass. Hear the apostle Paul's testimony: "Ye
know, from the first day that I came into Asia, after
what manner I have been with you at all seasons,
serving the Lord with humility of mind, and with
many tears, and temptations, which befell me by
the lying in wait of the Jews: and how I kept back
nothing that was profitable unto you, but have
showed you, and have taught you publicly, and
from house to house, testifying both to the Jews,
and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and
faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ." The eloquent
Paul, to whom God manifested Himself in a
wonderful manner, went from house to house, with
all humility of mind and with many tears and
temptations.
