Chap. 70—Singing a Means of Witness
§3
救灵工作的方法——美妙的诗歌若是明白而嘹亮地从许多人心坎中唱出,这原是上帝救灵工作的方法之一。--5T493.{VSS441.1}[1]
§4
Instrumentality for Salvation—The melody of song, poured forth from many hearts in clear, distinct utterance, is one of God’s instrumentalities in the work of saving souls.—Testimonies for the Church 5:493.?{VSS 441.1}[1]
§5
救人的能力——人声中含有极为感人和美妙动听的成分。学生如果愿意作出坚决的努力,就会养成讲话和歌唱的好习惯。这种习惯会成为他救人归向基督的能力。--Ev504.{VSS441.2}[2]
§6
Power for Winning Souls—There is great pathos and music in the human voice, and if the learner will make determined efforts, he will acquire habits of talking and singing that will be to him a power to win souls to Christ.—Evangelism, 504.?{VSS 441.2}[2]
§7
上帝的恩赐——你的声音、光阴和感化力都是上帝所赐的,都当用来得人归向基督。--9T38.{VSS441.3}[3]
§8
Gifts From God—Your voice, your influence, your time—all these are gifts from God and are to be used in winning souls to Christ.—Testimonies for the Church 9:38.?{VSS 441.3}[3]
§9
歌唱的布道士——晚上,大批听众聚集在教堂,要听比尔迪斯里弟兄和他学生的音乐节目。优秀的歌唱是敬拜上帝的重要组成部分。我很高兴比尔迪斯里弟兄在训练学生,以便他们能进行诗歌布道。--FE487.{VSS441.4}[4]
§10
Singing Evangelists—In the evening a large audience assembled in the church to listen to a musical program rendered by Brother Beardslee and his pupils. Good singing is an important part of the worship of God. I am glad that Brother Beardslee is training the students, so that they can be singing evangelists.—Fundamentals of Christian Education, 487.?{VSS 441.4}[4]
§11
在所探访的家庭中唱歌——要学会唱最简单的歌。这有助于你们挨家挨户的工作,人心也会被圣灵所感动。基督经常唱赞美的诗歌。……祂心中有喜乐。我们从圣经得知,即使一个罪人悔改,众天使也要欢喜快乐,而且主自己也会歌唱,为祂的教会高兴。--ML238.{VSS441.5}[5]
§12
Song in Home Visitation—Learn to sing the?simplest of songs. These will help you in house-to-house labor, and hearts will be touched by the influence of the Holy Spirit. Christ was often heard singing hymns of praise.... There was joy in His heart. We learn from the Word that there is joy among the angels of heaven over one repentant sinner and that the Lord rejoices over His church with singing.—My Life Today, 238.?{VSS 441.5}[5]
§13
青年人为高层人士歌唱——学生们,要出去到大路和篱笆那里,尽力接触高层和低层人士。要进入穷人和富人的家,一有机会时就问:“你们喜欢我们唱支歌吗?我们很高兴与你们一同举行一次诗歌礼拜。”人心既已软化,就为你们打开了门路,可以献上几句求上帝的祝福的祷告。不会有很多人拒绝的。这样的工作乃是真正的传道工作。上帝希望我们每一个人都悔改,学习热心参加布道工作。祂必祝福我们为别人服务。我们将看见祂的救恩。--RH1903年8月27日.{VSS442.1}[6]
§14
Youth Singing for Higher Classes—Students, go out into the highways and the hedges. Endeavor to reach the higher as well as the lower classes. Enter the homes of the rich and the poor, and as you have opportunity ask, “Would you be pleased to have us sing? We should be glad to hold a song service with you.” Then as hearts are softened, the way may open for you to offer a few words of prayer for the blessing of God. Not many will refuse. Such ministry is genuine missionary work. God desires every one of us to be converted, and to learn to engage in missionary effort in earnest. He will bless us in this service for others, and we shall see of His salvation.—The Review and Herald, August 27, 1903.?{VSS 442.1}[6]
§15
旅行中的诗歌崇拜——在安息日我们举行了一次诗歌崇拜。劳伦斯弟兄是一位音乐家,由他领唱。车里的乘客似乎都十分享受了这一次礼拜。他们中有许多人加入了歌唱。{VSS442.2}[7]
§16
Song Service During Travel—On Sabbath we had a song service. Brother Lawrence, who is a musician, led the singing. All the passengers in the car seemed to enjoy the service greatly, many of them joining in the singing.?{VSS 442.2}[7]
§17
星期日我们举行了另一次诗歌崇拜,之后柯利斯长老作了简短讲道,题目是:“你看父赐给我们是何等的慈爱,使我们得称为上帝的儿女。”乘客们很留心地听着,似乎很喜欢他所讲的话。{VSS442.3}[8]
§18
On Sunday we had another song service, after which Elder Corliss gave a short talk, taking as his text the words, “Behold, what manner of love the?Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God.” The passengers listened attentively and seemed to enjoy what was said.?{VSS 442.3}[8]
§19
星期一我们唱了更多的诗歌。我们彼此之间似乎更接近了了。--Ev503{VSS443.1}[9]
§20
On Monday we had more singing, and we all seemed to be drawing closer together.—Evangelism, 503.?{VSS 443.1}[9]
§21
天使作唱歌的教师——我们需要有唱歌恩赐的人。诗歌是属灵真理打动人心所采用最有效的方法之一。圣诗的词句往往开启了悔改和信心的泉源。……年轻和年长的信徒都应该受到造就,出去向世人宣扬这最后的信息。他们若怀着谦卑的心出去,上帝的使者就会与他们同往,教训他们如何发声祈祷,引吭高歌,宣扬现代的福音信息。--ML238.{VSS443.2}[10]
§22
Angels As Teachers of Singing—Those who have the gift of song are needed. Song is one of the most effective means of impressing spiritual truth upon the heart. Often by the words of sacred songs the springs of penitence and faith have been unsealed.... Church members, young and old, should be educated to go forth to proclaim this last message to the world. If they go in humility, angels of God will go with them, teaching them how to lift up the voice in prayer, how to raise the voice in song, and how to proclaim the gospel message for this time.—My Life Today, 238.?{VSS 443.2}[10]
