We should speak of Christ to those who know Him not. We should do as Christ did. Wherever He was, in the synagogue, by the wayside, in the boat thrust out a little from the land, at the Pharisee's feast or the table of the publican, He spoke to men of the things pertaining to the higher life. The things of nature, the events of daily life, were bound up by Him with the words of truth. The hearts of His hearers were drawn to Him; for He had healed their sick, had comforted their sorrowing ones, and had taken their children in His arms and blessed them. When He opened His lips to speak, their attention was riveted upon Him, and every word was to some soul a savor of life unto life. 339

Vi bør tale om Kristus til dem, der ikke kender ham. Vi må gøre ligesom Kristus. Hvor han end var i synagogen, på vejen, i båden et stykke fra land, ved farisæerens gæstebud eller ved tolderens bord, talte han til menneskene om de ting, der angår det åndelige liv. Ting i naturen og begivenheder fra dagliglivet blev brugt til at forklare sandheden. Tilhørerne følte sig draget til ham, for han havde helbredt deres syge, trøstet de sørgende og taget deres børn i sine arme og velsignet dem. Når han begyndte at tale, havde han deres fulde opmærksomhed, og hvert ord blev for en eller anden sjæl en duft af liv til liv.
