Chap. 77 The City Mission Training-School
传道良助-第78章
挨家挨户的布道工作,与开布道会是同样重要的。在大城市中,有几等人是公众聚会所接触不到的。我们必须寻找他们,就像牧人寻找他迷失的羊一样。我们必须为他们作殷勤的个人之工。个人之工若被忽略,许多宝贵的机会就会失去;若能善用这些机会,圣工就必稳步前进。{GW 364.1}[1]
传道良助-第78章
Of equal importance with public effort is house-to-house work in the homes of the people. In large cities there are certain classes who cannot be reached by public meetings. These must be searched out as the shepherd searches for his lost sheep. Diligent personal effort must be put forth in their behalf. When personal work is neglected, many precious opportunities are lost, which, were they improved, would advance the work decidedly. {GW 364.1}[1]
传道良助-第78章
在大会上宣扬真理,会激发人探索的精神;尤其重要的,是要有个人之工跟在这股兴趣之后。要教导那些愿意研究真理的人殷勤查考圣经,帮助他们建立在坚固的根基上。在他们宗教经验的这一重要关头,受过聪明指导的查经员去帮助他们,向他们的悟性敞开圣经的宝库是多么重要啊!{GW 364.2}[2]
传道良助-第78章
Again, as the result of the presentation of truth in large congregations, a spirit of inquiry is awakened, and it is especially important that this interest be followed by personal labor. Those who desire to investigate the truth need to be taught to study diligently the word of God. Some one must help them to build on a sure foundation. At this critical time in their religious experience, how important it is that wisely directed Bible-workers come to their help, and open to their understanding the treasure-house of God's word! {GW 364.2}[2]
传道良助-第78章
在城市中开布道会的期间,也应开办查经训练学校来教导工人,这样就可圆满地进行均衡的工作。从事这种训练学校或城市布道所工作的,必须是经验丰富而有深切属灵悟性的工人,他们能够每日指导那些查经员,又能全心全意地协力作公众布道工作。人们既然悔改归向真理了,凡在布道所中当领袖的就该多多祷告,指示这些新悔改的人,如何在心中体验真理的能力。这样的布道会,在知道如何聪明管理的人主持下,必如明灯照在暗处。{GW 364.3}[3]
传道良助-第78章
A well-balanced work can be carried on best in the cities when a Bible school for the training of workers is in progress while public meetings are being held. Connected with this training-school or city mission should be experienced laborers of deep spiritual understanding, who can give the Bible-workers daily instruction, and who can also unite whole-heartedly in the general public effort. And as men and women are converted to the truth, those standing at the head of the mission should, with much prayer, show these new converts how to experience the power of the truth in their hearts. Such a mission, if conducted by those who know how to manage wisely, will be a light shining in a dark place. {GW 364.3}[3]
传道良助-第78章
这些布道所是我们城市布道工作的重要基础。担任领导工作的人切莫忘记要处处提防,凡事为荣耀上帝而行。在这些布道所中,青年男女要接受训练,以适合为主作工。但他们如果没有坚强的品格和献身的精神,则所有使他们适应圣工的努力都会失败。他们如果没有充分认识真理的正确、严肃和神圣性质和圣工的崇高性质,就不能成功。年长的传道人也是如此。他们如果没有因真理成圣,就不能教导手下的人,使他们成为高尚优雅的人。{GW 365.1}[4]
传道良助-第78章
Missions are essential as the foundation of missionary effort in our cities; but let it never be forgotten that those standing at the head of them are to guard every point, that all may be done to the honor of God. In these missions young men and women are to receive a training that will qualify them to work for the Master. But if they do not possess solidity of character and a spirit of consecration, all effort to fit them for the work will prove a failure. Without a high sense of propriety, of sobriety, of the sacredness of the truth and the exalted character of the work, they cannot succeed. The same is true of the older workers. Unless they are sanctified by the truth, they cannot give those under their charge an education that will elevate, ennoble, and refine them. {GW 365.1}[4]
传道良助-第78章
我们的布道所不应有任何不良、粗俗、散漫的现象。凡与布道所有关的事都应是无可指责的。参与布道所工作的人应当作信徒的榜样。要多用时间私下祷告,与上帝亲切来往。只有这样才能取得胜利。布道所中的种种安排,都应防备人屈从试探。要藉着上帝所赐的丰富恩典,用圣洁的理性制伏不圣洁情欲的一切冲动。{GW 365.2}[5]
传道良助-第78章
Our missions must be kept free from all wrong practices, all coarseness, all carelessness. Everything connected with them should be above reproach. Every one who has any part to act in them should be an example to believers. There is need that many moments be spent in secret prayer, in close communion with God. Thus only can victories be won. Every arrangement of the mission should be such as to garrison the soul against yielding to temptation. Every unholy passion must be kept under the control of sanctified reason, through the grace abundantly bestowed by God. {GW 365.2}[5]
传道良助-第78章
当一个被信任负责我们机构或布道所工作的人不忠于所受的委托,落入撒但手中,作为不义的工具,播散邪恶的种子时,他就成了最恶劣的叛徒。青年往往从这等污秽腐败的人身上接受不洁之念,导致耻辱污浊的生活。{GW 365.3}[6]
传道良助-第78章
When a man who is counted worthy to fill a position of trust in one of our institutions or in a mission, betrays his trust and gives himself into the hands of Satan as an instrument of unrighteousness, to sow the seeds of evil, he is a traitor of the worst type. From one such tainted, polluted mind the youth often receive the impure thoughts that lead to a life of shame and defilement. {GW 365.3}[6]
传道良助-第78章
负责布道所工作的人应当与上帝有密切的关系,以保持自己的纯洁,知道如何谨慎地对待青年,使大家的思想不至于污秽腐败。所发出的教训应具有高尚尊贵的性质,使人心中充满基督化的纯洁思想。“凡向祂有这指望的,就洁净自己,象祂洁净一样”(约壹3:3)。上帝在祂的范围里是圣洁的;照样,人也要在他的范围里圣洁。如果基督在他心中成为有荣耀的盼望,他就会变得纯洁,因为他要效法基督的生活,反映祂的品格。{GW 366.1}[7]
传道良助-第78章
The men and women at the head of a mission need close connection with God, in order to keep themselves pure and to know how to manage the youth discreetly, so that the thoughts of all shall be untainted, uncorrupted. Let the lessons given be of an elevated, ennobling character, that the mind may be filled with pure, Christlike thoughts. "Every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as He is pure." [John 3:3.] As God is pure in His sphere, so man is to be pure in his. And he will be pure if Christ is formed within, the hope of glory; for he will imitate Christ's life and reflect His character. {GW 366.1}[7]
传道良助-第78章
在城市中设立布道所之后,我们的信徒就当关心它,以实际的行动支持它。布道所的工人艰苦工作,克己牺牲,待遇也不高。但愿我们的信徒不要以为在城市中主持布道所是一件容易或能赢利的事。布道所往往经济拮据,惨淡经营。工人们天天恳求上帝赐下资财推进圣工。{GW 366.2}[8]
传道良助-第78章
When a mission is established in a city, our people should take an interest in it, showing this interest in a practical, substantial way. The mission workers labor hard and self-sacrificingly, and they do not receive large wages. Let not our people think that the conducting of city missions is an easy work, or one that brings financial profit. Often the missions are carried on with no means in sight, by men and women who from day to day beseech God to send them means with which to advance the work. {GW 366.2}[8]
