We are to work while it is day, for the night cometh, in which no man can work. Our life is represented as a day, and when our work is ended, when the worker ceases his busy activity, the work does not cease. Others take it up. Though the human agents pass away, the work of Christ does not cease, but goes on, each worker doing God service by working as Christ worked. (UL 165.4) MC VC

“I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” John 9:4. (UL 305.1) MC VC

God lives and reigns. All who are saved must fight manfully as soldiers of Jesus Christ; then they will be registered in heaven’s books as true and faithful. They are to work the works of Jesus Christ, fight the good fight of faith.—Letter 2, December 29, 1889, to W.C. White’s first wife, Mary White, who was dying of tuberculosis. (UL 377.6) MC VC
