我们生活的时代有着特殊的重要性。许多向来拒绝福音的国家，现今却是门户大开，求人为他们讲明上帝的道。许多君王正在开放他们长久关闭的门户，请那些宣传十字架福音的人进去。要收的庄稼实在是很多，工人却很少。世界是基督徒的园地，他岂可闲懒地抱着手，不收禾捆呢？只有在将来的永恒岁月中，才可以看明现今善用精力所得的效果。每一个自称相信第三位天使信息的家庭，都应该付出认真不倦的努力，宣扬真理。{SpM 396.4}
§5
The times in which we live have a peculiar importance. Countries hitherto closed to the gospel are opening their doors, and are pleading for the word of God to be explained to them. Kings and princes will open their long-closed gates, inviting the heralds of the cross to enter. The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few. Can the Christian, who has the world for his field, fold his hands in idleness, and leave the sheaves ungathered? Eternity alone will reveal the results of well directed efforts put forth now. Let every family who claims to believe the third angel’s message put forth earnest, untiring efforts to proclaim the truth.?{SpM 396.4}
§6
我的姐妹们，不要把钱花在不必要的衣服上，而要衣着简朴。父母们哪，要教育你们的儿女穿得便宜；教导他们为布道工作省下自己的小钱。基督是我们的榜样。祂是荣耀之君，却如此关心我们的世界，以致撇下自己的财富，来到这个世界过了穷人和富人都应当效法的一生。祂教导说，人人都应本着爱心和团结来到一起，像祂那样作工，像祂那样牺牲，并且像上帝的孩子一样去爱。{SpM 396.5}
§7
My sisters, do not spend your money needlessly for dress, but dress plainly. Fathers and mothers, educate your children to dress inexpensively; teach them to save their pennies for missionary work. Let every member of the family practice self-denial. Christ is our example. He was the Prince of Glory,but he had such an interest in our world that he left his riches, and came to this earth to live a life that should be an example to rich and poor alike. He taught that all should come together in love and unity, to work as he worked, to sacrifice as he sacrificed, and to love as children of God.?{SpM 396.5}
§8
我的弟兄姐妹啊，你们必须自己愿意归正，以便实行基督的克己。服装要简朴而整洁。要尽可能地节省你们自身的费用。最好能在家里设置一个舍己箱，把平日从小处克己上所节省下来的钱储放在里面。要一天一天地更加明白上帝的话，并利用每一次的机会传扬你们所获得的知识。你们行善，不可丧志，因为上帝是在继续不断地将祂所赐予世界之恩赐的大福分给予你们。当与主耶稣合作，祂要将关于祂爱的无价宝训教导你们。光阴短促；到了时候，不再有时日了，你们就必得到所当得的赏赐。……{SpM 397.1}
§9
My brethren and sisters, you must be willing to be converted yourselves, in order to practice the self-denial of Christ. Dress plainly, but neatly. Spend as little as possible upon yourselves. Keep in your homes a self-denial box, into which you can put the money saved by little acts of self-denial. Day by day gain a clearer understanding of the word of God and improve every opportunity to impart the knowledge you have gained. Do not become weary in well-doing; for God is constantly imparting to you the great blessing of his Gift to the world. Cooperate with the Lord Jesus, and he will teach you the priceless lessons of his love. Time is short; in due season, when time shall be no longer, you will receive your reward....?{SpM 397.1}
§10
许多地方都在呼吁传道人、教师、医生来进行疗养院的工作，但我们却没有受过训练的工作人员可以派去。我们有疗养院，但我们需要更多的这些机构在不同的地方。我们需要自给自足的学校，如果老师和学生乐于助人、勤奋和节俭，我们就能做到这一点。我们学校没有必要积累债务。旧债应该还清。{SpM 397.2}
§11
From many places calls are coming for ministers, for teachers, for physicians to carry on the work in sanitarium, but we have not the trained workers to send. We have sanitariums, but we need more of these institutions in various places. We need schools that will be self-supporting and this can be, if teachers and students will be helpful, industrious, and economical. There is no need for debts to accumulate on our schools. And the old debts should be cleared away.?{SpM 397.2}
§12
必须在各方面做出牺牲；我们必须设计和计划，尽最大努力做到节俭和节约。{SpM 397.3}
§13
Sacrifices must be made on every hand; we must devise and plan, and labor to the utmost to be thrifty and economical.?{SpM 397.3}
