Study what to say, when to speak, etc.

“The minister must not feel that the whole truth is to be spoken to unbelievers on any and every occasion. He should study carefully when to speak, what to say, and what to leave unsaid. This is not practicing deception; it is working as Paul worked. ‘Though I be free from all men,’ he wrote to the Corinthians, ‘yet I have made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews. ’”—Testimonies for the Church 8:117.EGWRWJP 27.2
