Counsels on Sabbath School Work

129/147

Mechanical, but Spiritless

We must come up to a higher plane of action. Let the Spirit of Jesus vitalize the souls of the workers. Then their plans and methods of labor will be of that character to win souls to Jesus Christ. In our large churches, where there are many children and youth, there is great danger of so managing the Sabbath school that it will become a mere form, mechanical but spiritless. It lacks Jesus.—Testimonies on Sabbath-School Work, 14. CSW 164.1
