The elders laboring in the vineyard should never lose sight of the fact that they are ambassadors of heaven, bearers of good and glad tidings to peoples who know not the Lord, whose knowledge of Him cannot possibly extend beyond the story told of Him in holy writ. This kind of knowledge is not sufficient either to save or condemn, it being merely hearsay or knowledge born of tradition.

The Gospel must be preached to the world, that the wicked may be left without excuse.
It is necessary that all have the privilege of receiving or rejecting eternal truth, that they may be prepared to be saved, or be prepared to be damned.
Our Father in Heaven, Jesus, our Elder Brother and the Savior of the world, and the whole heavens, are calling upon this people to prepare to save the nations of the earth, also the millions who have slept without the Gospel.
