Testimonies and Missionary Activity

“It is noticeable that those of our people who possess copies of the ‘Testimonies for the Church,’ and read them, are most active in missionary work.” This is the statement made by one of our brethren who has been visiting some of our general meetings. There may of course be exceptions to the rule laid down in the statement, but we believe that for the most part the statement is true. We do not believe that we can neglect the instruction which the Lord through his servant has sent to the church and maintain that measure of spiritual life which he designs we should possess. We believe that every Seventh-day Adventist family should have, if possible, a full set of the “Testimonies for the Church;” a copy each of such books as “Patriarchs and Prophets,” “The Great Controversy,” “The Desire of Ages,” and “Early Writings.” Next to the study of the Bible the reading of these books will infuse new spiritual life into the soul.
