Care must be taken that the religi<strong>on</strong> of Christ be<br />

not made repulsive by harshness or impatience.<br />

The servant of God should seek, by meekness,<br />

gentleness, and love, rightly to represent our holy<br />

faith. While the cross must never be c<strong>on</strong>cealed, he<br />

should present also the Saviour’s matchless love.<br />

The worker must be imbued with the spirit of<br />

Jesus, and then the treasures of the soul will be<br />

presented in words that will find their way to the<br />

hearts of those who hear. The religi<strong>on</strong> of Christ,<br />

exemplified in the daily life of His followers, will<br />

exert a tenfold greater influence than the most<br />

eloquent serm<strong>on</strong>s.... If all c<strong>on</strong>nected with the<br />

sanitarium are correct representatives of the truths<br />

of health reform and of our holy faith, they are<br />

exerting an influence to mold the minds of their<br />

patients. The c<strong>on</strong>trast of err<strong>on</strong>eous habits with<br />

those which are in harm<strong>on</strong>y with the truth of God,<br />

has a c<strong>on</strong>victing power.—Testim<strong>on</strong>ies for the<br />

Church 4:546, 547 (1878).<br />

Hold the Truth in Its Purity<br />

[The Review and Herald, February 1, 1906.]<br />
