The time has come when a large work should be done by the canvassers. The world is asleep, and as watchmen they are to ring the warning bell to awake the sleepers to their danger. The churches know not the time of their visitation. Often they can best learn the truth through the efforts of the canvasser. Those who go forth in the name of the Lord are His messengers to give to the multitudes who are in darkness and error the glad tidings of salvation through Christ in obeying the law of God. {6T 315.3}

Tiden er kommet, da et stort arbejde bør udføres af kolportørerne. Verden sover og som vægtere skal de lade advarselens klokke lyde for at vække de sovende op til forståelse af den fare, de befinder sig i. Kirkesamfundene kender ikke deres besøgelsestid. Ofte kan de bedst lære sandheden at kende ved kolportørens bestræbelser. De, der går ud i Herrens navn, er hans sendebud, som bringer de skarer, der befinder sig i mørke og vildfarelse, det glade budskab om frelse gennem Kristus ved lydighed mod Guds bud.
