The Lord would have the workers make special<br />

efforts to point the sick and suffering to the Great<br />

Physician who made the human body.—<br />

Testim<strong>on</strong>ies for the Church 9:178 (1909).<br />

Equity in the Matter of Wages<br />

[The Spirit of Sacrifice, 32, 33 (1902).] Dear<br />

Brother: I did not suppose that it would be so l<strong>on</strong>g<br />

before I fulfilled my promise to write to you. I have<br />

been thinking of the questi<strong>on</strong> that was agitating<br />

your mind in regard to wages. You suggest that if<br />

we paid higher wages, we could secure men of<br />

ability to fill important positi<strong>on</strong>s of trust. This<br />

might be so, but I should very much regret to see<br />

our workers held to our work by the wages they<br />

receive. There are needed in the cause of God<br />

workers who will make a covenant with Him by<br />

sacrifice, who will labor for the love of souls, not<br />

for the wages they receive.<br />

Your sentiment regarding wages, my muchrespected<br />

brother, is the language of the world.<br />
