Outward Display Undesirable<br />

Those whose affecti<strong>on</strong>s are set <strong>on</strong> God will<br />

succeed. They will lose sight of self in Christ, and<br />

worldly attracti<strong>on</strong>s will have no power to allure<br />

them from their allegiance. They will realize that<br />

outward display does not give strength. It is not<br />

ostentati<strong>on</strong>, outward show, that gives a correct<br />

representati<strong>on</strong> of the work that we, as God’s<br />

chosen people, are to do. Those who are c<strong>on</strong>nected<br />

with our sanitarium work should be adorned with<br />

the grace of Christ. This will give them the greatest<br />

influence for good.<br />

The Lord is in earnest with us. His promises are<br />

given <strong>on</strong> c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong> that we faithfully do His will;<br />

therefore, in the building of sanitariums He is to be<br />

made first and last and best in everything.<br />
