The Need of True Men

The greatest want of the world is the want of men - men who will not be bought or sold, men who in their inmost souls are true and honest, men who do not fear to call sin by its right name, men whose conscience is as true to duty as the needle to the pole, men who will stand for the right though the heavens fall.    Education, p 57, Ellen G White

Solve the Problem

There are not many, even among educators and statesmen, who comprehend the causes that underlie the present state of society.  Those who hold the reins of government are not able to solve the problem of moral corruption, poverty, pauperism, and increasing crime.  They are
struggling in vain to place business operations on a more secure basis.  If men would give more heed to the teachings of Gods word, they would find a solution of the problems that perplex them.

Testimonies, Vol. 9, p. 13, Ellen G White
