Te 224
(Temperance 224)
We cannot do a better work than to unite, so far as we can do so without compromise, with the W.C.T.U. workers. (Te 224.1) MC VC
Concerning this matter I wrote to one of our sisters in 1898: (Te 224.2) MC VC
“The Lord, I fully believe, is leading you that you may keep the principles of temperance clear and distinct, in all their purity, in connection with the truth for these last days. They that do His will shall know of the doctrine.... The Lord does not bid you separate from the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union. They need all the light you can give them. Flash all the light possible into their pathway. You can agree with them on the ground of the pure, elevating principles that first brought into existence the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union. The Lord has given you capabilities and talents to be preserved uncorrupted in their simplicity. Through Jesus Christ you may do a good work.”—The Review and Herald, October 15, 1914. (Part used in Gospel Workers, 384, 385.) (Te 224.3) MC VC
They to Teach Our Women How to Work—Much good would be done if some of the W.T.C.U women were invited to our camp meetings to take part in the meetings by teaching our sisters how to work. While at the meeting they would be hearing and receiving as well as imparting. There is a great work to be done, and instead of presenting the features of our faith which are objectionable to unbelievers, let us say to them as Philip said to Nathanael, “Come and see.” John 1:46. (Te 224.4) MC VC
We Cannot Unite With Them in Exalting Sunday—I want to unite with the W.C.T.U. workers, but we cannot unite with them in a work of exalting a false Sabbath. We cannot work in lines that would mean the transgression of the law of God, but we say to them, Come on to the right platform.—Manuscript 93, 1908. (Te 224.5) MC VC
Never Refuse Invitations to Speak—The question has been asked me, When asked by the W.C.T.U. to speak in their meetings, shall we accept the invitation? (Te 224.6) MC VC
