God has ordained the canvassing work as a means of presenting before the people the light contained in our books, and canvassers should be impressed with the importance of bringing before the world as fast as possible the books necessary for their spiritual education and enlightenment. This is the very work the Lord would have His people do at this time. All who consecrate themselves to God to work as canvassers are assisting to give the last message of warning to the world. We cannot too highly estimate this work; for were it not for the efforts of the canvasser, many would never hear the warning. {6T 313.2}

Gud har forordnet kolportørarbejdet som et middel til at bringe menneskene det lys vore bøger indeholder og man bør understrege for kolportørerne, hvor vigtigt det er så hurtigt som muligt at skaffe verden de bøger, der er nødvendige for dens åndelige undervisning og oplysning. Dette er netop den gerning Herren ønsker at hans folk skal udføre i denne tid. Alle, der helliger sig til Gud for at arbejde som kolportører, hjælper til med at give det sidste advarselsbudskab til verden. Vi kan ikke værdsætte denne gerning for højt, for uden kolportørens bestræbelser ville mange aldrig få advarselen at høre.
