“Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not?” – Isaiah 55:2
Agitate, agitate, agitate the public mind. There must be no spiritual stupor now. Bring out important points of truth bearing directly upon genuine conversion—tracts of a few pages—and multiply copies for circulation. This will be at some expense if they are given away, but that should not deter or hinder the great work of spreading the truth.
Pamphlets and books should be prepared containing subject matter upon important points of present truth in English, German, French, Swedish, Danish, and Italian.
Men of other nations and tongues should be educated as missionaries, translators, and publishers. This will call for means; therefore no dollar should be spent needlessly.
The message of warning must be carried to every nation upon the globe. The work should move forward with alacrity. Satan is already astir to hedge up the way. We must be wise or he will prevail. What we do must be executed with greater promptness.
Publications must be multiplied in regard to health reform from a small to a large number of pages, [and] should be printed and passed through our churches for their use to arouse the suffering humanity. (1)
This matter has been most clearly presented to me. I have been instructed that the money expended for worthless literature should be spent for the books and papers containing the light of present truth. Let these be sent to those who have not yet heard the truth for this time. As they read these publications, light from the throne of God will shine into the soul-temple. Jot by jot, here a little and there a little, the truth will appear to the mind, and the soul will be fed with provender thoroughly winnowed from the chaff. Pamphlets and leaflets dealing with the truth for this time should be scattered everywhere like the leaves of autumn. (2)
Charge for the Day: How can you spend your money wisely to help spread the present truth through literature?
