Chap. 31—Publishing Houses in Mission Fields
教会证言-卷七-第32章
在为新的地区建立工作机构的事上，有许多事要做，在许多地方应创办布道的出版机构。区会学校也应有印刷设备，并训练这方面的工人。何处若有不同国籍讲不同语言的人在接受培训，就应让他们学会用他们自己的语言印刷，以及把英语译成他们母语的技术。他们在学英语的时候，也要把自己的母语教给需要学习的讲英语的学生，这样既可让一些国外来的学生赚取学费，又能给布道事业以重要的帮助。{7T 169.1}[1]
教会证言-卷七-第32章
There is much to be done in the way of establishing centers for our work in new fields. Missionary printing offices should be established in many places. In connection with our mission schools there should be facilities for printing and for training workers in this line. Where there are in training persons of various nationalities, speaking different languages, each should learn to print in his own tongue, also to translate into that tongue from the English. And while he is learning English, he should be teaching his language to such English-speaking students as may need to acquire it. Thus some of the foreign-born students might defray the expense of their education, and workers might be prepared to give valuable help in missionary enterprises.{7T 169.1}[1]
教会证言-卷七-第32章
有许多地方，出版工作应从小规模开始。虽然要遇到许多困难，还要用简陋的设备来推进工作，但决不要因此灰心。世人开创一番事业靠的是吹嘘，炫耀、自夸、但这一切都毫无价值。上帝的方法就是使小小开端的日子成为真理和公义之胜利的开始。因此，起初的兴旺不用洋洋得意，外表的衰弱也不用灰心胆怯。上帝的子民若能仰望那看不见的事物，祂就会成为他们的财富、丰盛和能力。听从祂的指引就是选择了安全和真正成功的道路。“使我们胜了世界的，就是我们的信心”（约壹5:4）。{7T 169.2}[2]
教会证言-卷七-第32章
In many cases the publishing work will have to be started on a small scale. It will have to contend with many difficulties and to be carried forward with few facilities. But none should be discouraged because of this. The world’s way is to begin its work with pomp and show and boasting, but all will come to nought. God’s way is to make the day of small things the beginning of the triumph of truth and righteousness. For this reason none need to be elated by a prosperous beginning or cast down by apparent feebleness. God is to His people riches and fullness and power as they look to the things that are not seen. To follow His direction is to choose the path of safety and true success. “This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.”1 John 5:4.{7T 169.2}[2]
教会证言-卷七-第32章
人的力量既无法建立也无法摧毁上帝的工作。上帝要不断指引并派圣天使保护那些面对困难和反对推展祂圣工的人。祂在地上的工作决不会停止。祂灵宫的建筑工程要继续进行，直到大工告成，那时主必搬出一块石头，安在殿顶上，人且喊着说：“愿恩惠恩惠归与这殿”（亚4:7）。{7T 170.1}[3]
教会证言-卷七-第32章
Human power did not establish the work of God, neither can human power destroy it. To those who carry forward His work in face of difficulty and opposition, God will give the constant guidance and guardianship of His holy angels. His work on earth will never cease. The building of His spiritual temple will be carried forward until it shall stand complete, and the headstone shall be brought forth with shoutings: “Grace, grace unto it.”{7T 170.1}[3]
教会证言-卷七-第32章
基督徒应对他人成为福惠，这样他自己也会蒙受福惠。“滋润人的，必得滋润”(箴11:25)。这乃是上帝神圣管理工作中的一个律例，祂定意藉着这一律例使仁慈的河川，象深渊的水一样不住地循环，不断地流归到源头那里。基督教团体的能力乃在于遵行这一律例。{7T 170.2}[4]
教会证言-卷七-第32章
The Christian is to be a benefit to others. Thus he himself is benefited. “He that watereth shall be watered also himself.”Proverbs 11:25. This is a law of the divine administration, a law by which God designs that the streams of beneficence shall be kept, like the waters of the great deep, in constant circulation, perpetually returning to their source. In the fulfilling of this law is the power of Christian missions.{7T 170.2}[4]
教会证言-卷七-第32章
我蒙指示，不论在什么地方，若经过克己和不懈的努力获得了建立和推进圣工的设备，主也使工作兴旺起来了，那里的人就应拿出资财来帮助那些派往新园地的上帝仆人。无论哪里圣工若已打下了良好的基础，信徒们就当感到自己有责任帮助需要的人，把部分或全部过去年间曾投在他们地区的资财奉献出来，即使要作很大的牺牲也在所不惜。上帝就是这样安排扩大祂的圣工。这就是用在圣工上的偿还的定律。{7T 170.3}[5]
教会证言-卷七-第32章
I have been instructed that wherever by self-sacrifice and urgent efforts facilities for the establishment and advancement of the cause have been provided, and the Lord has prospered the work, those in that place should give of their means to help His servants who have been sent to new fields. Wherever the work has been established on a good foundation, the believers should feel themselves under obligation to help those in need, by transferring even at great sacrifice, a portion or all of the means which in former years was invested in behalf of the work in their locality. Thus the Lord designs that His work shall increase. This is the law of restitution in right lines.{7T 170.3}[5]
