Spirit will impress minds as <strong>the</strong>y read <strong>the</strong> books, just as He impresses <strong>the</strong><br />

minds of those who listen to <strong>the</strong> preaching of <strong>the</strong> word. The same ministry of<br />

angels attends <strong>the</strong> books that contain <strong>the</strong> truth as attends <strong>the</strong> work of <strong>the</strong><br />

minister.<br />

Let wise plans be laid to help worthy students to earn <strong>the</strong>ir own<br />

schooling by handling <strong>the</strong>se books, if <strong>the</strong>y so desire. Those who earn<br />

sufficient means in this way to pay <strong>the</strong>ir way through a course at one of our<br />

training schools will gain a most valuable practical experience that will help<br />

fit <strong>the</strong>m <strong>for</strong> pioneer missionary work in o<strong>the</strong>r fields.<br />

When church members realize <strong>the</strong> importance of <strong>the</strong> circulation of our<br />

literature, <strong>the</strong>y will devote more time to this work.<br />

And as long as probation continues, <strong>the</strong>re will be opportunity <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

canvasser to work.<br />

Brethren and sisters, <strong>the</strong> Lord will be pleased if you will take hold<br />

heartily to sustain <strong>the</strong> publishing institution with your prayers and your<br />

means. Pray every morning and evening that it may receive God's richest<br />

blessing. Do not encourage criticism and complaining. Let no murmurs or<br />

complaints come from your lips; remember that angels hear <strong>the</strong>se words. All<br />

must be led to see that <strong>the</strong>se institutions are of God's appointment. Those<br />

who disparage <strong>the</strong>m in order to serve <strong>the</strong>ir own interests must render an<br />

account to God. He designs that everything connected with His work shall be<br />

treated as sacred.<br />
