Counsels on Health - Ellen G. White

in the beginning of the work often err in judgment
in regard to how it should be advanced. They are
tempted on many points. They think that it would
be better if the talented workers had higher wages,
according to the importance of the work they do.
But one of authority stood among us in the
assembly in which I was present last night and
spoke words that must decide the question. He
said: “Looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher
of your faith, trace His work after He assumed
humanity, and remember that He is your pattern. In
the work of soul saving, His divine-human life in
our world is to be your guide. He made the world,
yet when He lived on this earth He had not where
to lay His head.”
Were the most talented workers given higher
wages, those who do the more laborious part of the
work would desire larger wages also, and would
say that their work is just as essential as any work
that is done.
Work is to be carried forward in many lines.
