BOLLMAN .» • To those who minister for Him, God says, a " Be clean, all ye who vessels bear for •a Me. • He who would safely, surely lead the blind, The path of safety he himself must see." Be clean." There's cleansing in the Mas- ter's sword To all who fully will His will to do. There's freedom from transgression in the One Whose gracious promises are ever true. So he who'd truly water other souls Must drink himself of that life-giving Spring — The smitten Rock from which our fathers drank, And which alone can true refreshment bring. Drink, deeply drink, ye messengers of God; Then say to other souls, " Come ye to Christ, The fountainhead of life's pure, living stream; Come, drink of Him who alone truly quenches thirst." 1482•2■id2■24■2■202024 2.2.02.2■24.:4.210:.14•24 48 - PREFACE TEE following pages contain a directory of the Conferences and insti- tutions connected with the Seventh-day Adventist denomination.
