To my beloved daughters and friends that the Lord had bless them with the talent to sing. Attracting to the Truth.--A few nights since, my mind was much troubled in contemplating what we could do to get the truth before the people in these large cities. We are sure if they would only hear the message, some would receive the truth and in their turn communicate it to others. The ministers warn their congregations and say it is dangerous doctrine that is presented, and if they go out to hear they will be deceived and deluded with this strange doctrine. The prejudices would be removed if we could get the people out to hear. We are praying over this matter and believe that the Lord will make a place for the message of warning and instruction to come to the people in these last days. One night I seemed to be in a council meeting where these matters were being talked over. And a very grave, dignified man said, You are praying for the Lord to raise up men and women of talent to give themselves to the work. You have talent in your midst which needs to be recognized. Several wise propositions were made and then words were spoken in substance as I write them. He said, I call your attention to the singing talent which should be cultivated; for the human voice in singing is one of Gods entrusted talents to be employed to His glory. The enemy of righteousness makes a great account of this talent in his service. And that which is the gift of God, to be a blessing to souls, is perverted, misapplied, and serves the purpose of Satan. This talent of voice is a blessing if consecrated to the Lord to serve His cause. _____ has talent, but it is not appreciated. Her position should be considered and her talent will attract the people, and they will hear the message of truth. -- Letter 62, 1893. A Connecting Link With God.--There must be a living connection with God in prayer, a living connection with God in songs of praise and thanksgiving.-- Letter 96, 1898. To Resist the Enemy.--When Christ was a child like these children here, He was tempted to sin, but He did not yield to temptation. As He grew older He was tempted, but the songs His mother had taught Him to sing came into His mind, and He would lift His voice in praise. And before His companions were aware of it, they would be singing with Him. God wants us to use every facility which Heaven has provided for resisting the enemy.-- Manuscript 65, 1901.
