Other Church Workers

God has ordained that the talents of minds in various callings be blended to do His work—No one man, whether a teacher, a physician, or a minister, can ever hope to be a complete whole. God has given to every man certain gifts and has ordained that men be associated in His service in order that the varied talents of many minds may be blended. The contact of mind with mind tends to quicken thought and increase the capabilities. The deficiencies of one laborer are often made up by the special gifts of another.—Counsels to Parents, Teachers, and Students, 521.PaM 107.4

Minister, teacher, medical missionary, and canvasser should respect and appreciate each other—The preaching of the Word is a means by which the Lord has ordained that His warning message shall be given to the world. In the Scriptures the faithful teacher is represented as a shepherd of the flock of God. He is to be respected and his work appreciated. Genuine medical missionary work is bound up with the ministry, and the canvassing work is to be a part both of the medical missionary work and of the ministry.—Testimonies for the Church 6:323.PaM 108.1
