We are God’s stewards, and “it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” 1 Corinthians 4:2. The money that God has intrusted to us is to be carefully husbanded. We are to increase in efficiency by putting to the best use the talents given us, that at God’s coming we may return to Him His own with usury.—The Review and Herald, June 13, 1907.

Repeated Taking of Pictures VC

The youth have their hearts filled with the love of self. This is manifested in their desire to see their faces daguerreotyped by the artist; and they are not satisfied with being once represented, but sit again and again for their picture, each time hoping that the last will excel all their previous efforts, and appear really more beautiful than the original. Their Lord’s money is squandered in this way, and what is gained?—Testimonies for the Church 1:500. (MYP 319.2) MC VC
