God expects personal service from everyone to whom He has entrusted a knowledge of the truth for
this time. Not all can go as missionaries to foreign lands, but all can be home missionaries in their
families and neighborhoods. There are many ways in which church members may give the message
to those around them. One of the most successful is by living helpful, unselfish, Christian lives.
Those who are fighting the battle of life at great odds may be refreshed and strengthened by little
attentions which cost nothing. Kindly words simply spoken, little attentions simply bestowed, will
sweep away the clouds of temptation and doubt that gather over the soul. The true heart expression
of Christlike sympathy, given in simplicity, has power to open the door of hearts that need the
simple, delicate touch of the spirit of Christ.
Christ accepts, oh, so gladly, every human agency that is surrendered to Him. He brings the human
into union with the divine, that He may communicate to the world the mysteries of incarnate love.
Talk it, pray it, sing it, fill the world with the message of His truth, and keep pressing on into the
regions beyond.
Heavenly intelligences are waiting to cooperate with human instrumentalities, that they may reveal
to the world what human beings may become and what, through their influence, they may
accomplish for the saving of souls that are ready to perish. Those who are truly converted will be so
filled with the love of God that they will long to impart to others the joy that they themselves
possess.
The Lord desires His church to show forth to the world the beauty of holiness. It is to demonstrate
the power of Christian religion. Heaven is to be reflected in the character of the Christian. The song
of gratitude and praise is to be heard by those in darkness.
