MR No. 722 - Soliciting Funds From Non-Adventists
文稿发布-第09卷-第55章
不要拒绝来自非信徒的礼物。——耶和华以色列的上帝把祂的货财放在不信的人手中。但这些货财要用来支持为堕落的世界所必须作成的工作。奉献这些财物的人，可打开真理的通路。他们也许不赞同这项工作，也不相信基督，没有实行祂的道；但他们的奉献不应因此而被拒绝。{9MR200.1}[1]

Gifts from Unbelievers Not to be Refused.--The Lord God of Israel has placed His goods in the hands of unbelievers, but they are to be used in favor of doing the works that must be done for a fallen world. The agents through whom these gifts come may open up avenues through which the truth may go. They may have no sympathy with the work, and no faith in Christ, and no practice in His words, but their gifts are not to be refused on that account. {9MR 200.1}[1]

奇怪的是，我们的一些弟兄竟觉得有责任造成一种局面，把上帝原想释放的钱财包裹起来。在这件事上，上帝并没有要他们负起与属世的当局和执政者冲突的职责。上帝抑制的手还没有从地上收回。但愿负责圣工的人能等待时机，隐藏在基督里面，以极大的智慧行事。但愿他们灵巧象蛇，驯良象鸽子。我一再蒙指示，我们如果凭着智慧与人交往，使他们了解我们的工作，并为推进上帝的圣工，给他们机会，去做那些我们有特权劝导他们去做的事，就能在许多方面获得更多的恩惠。（《文稿》1895年41号第3,4页，〈对主要工人的劝勉〉，1895年1月31日）{9MR200.2}[2]

It is very strange that some of our brethren should feel that it is their duty to bring about a condition of things that would bind up the means that God would have set free. God has not laid upon them the responsibility of coming in conflict with the authorities and power of the world in this matter. The restraining hand of God has not yet been withdrawn from the earth. Let the leaders in the work bide their time, hide in Christ, and move and work with great wisdom. Let them be as wise as serpents, and as harmless as doves. I have repeatedly been shown that we might receive far more favors than we do in many ways if we would approach men in wisdom, acquaint them with our work, and give them an opportunity of doing those things which it is our privilege to induce them to do for the advancement of the work of God.-- Manuscript 41, 1895, pp. 3, 4. ("Counsel to Leading Workers," January 31, 1895.) {9MR 200.2}[2]

使富人有特权帮助上帝的工作。——有些平信徒能以安静的方式做比传道人更多的工作。在我们的各传道区可以在有钱财帮助的富人们心中唤起一种兴趣。若是他们愿意，就要给他们特权提供帮助。要问问他们。他们手中是主的钱。若有什么事能唤醒他们将那钱放在能行善的地方，就要那么做。这会证明对他们的心灵是一个福气。为其他不具有永生上帝之印信息的传道区所做的，我们可以做出比以往所做更多的努力，好为我们做成。上帝正在警告教会的可怕责任。但愿明智明断的人从信徒和非信徒为我们的健康机构、我们的医疗布道企业收集资金。（《文稿》1897年83号第7页，〈宣教努力的需要〉，1897年7月22日）{9MR200.3}[3]

Give the Wealthy the Privilege of Assisting God's Work.--There are laymen who can do more in a quiet way than can the ministers. In our missions an interest may be awakened in the hearts of wealthy men who have the means to assist. Give them the privilege of helping if they will. Let them be asked. They have the Lord's money in their hands. If anything can arouse them to place that money where it can do good, let it be done. It will prove a blessing to their souls. What is done for other missions, who bear not the message of the seal of the living God, we may make efforts, more than we have made, to have done for us. God is warning the church of her fearful responsibility. Let means be gathered by wise, judicious men, from believers and unbelievers, for our school, for our churches, for our health institutions, for our medical missionary enterprises.--Manuscript 83, 1897, p. 7. ("The Need of Missionary Effort", July 22, 1897.) {9MR 200.3}[3]

医疗布道工人要从非复临信徒征募资金。——现在要发出“你们要变卖所有的周济人”（路12:33）的信息。然而有许多人并不明白这个信息的目的。上帝的目的并不是让教会的收入被为穷人和被遗弃阶层做的工作所占去。这项工作可能会做成这样：会从我们的人提取每一块钱，而且不会有资源剩下用于在新园地进行积极进攻的战斗。但我们在美国从事医疗布道工作的弟兄们，却能藉着呼吁外人来得到帮助，因为他们所做的是不分教派的工作。他们不应该主要从我们的各教会提取资金。教会的资源需要用来维持福音事工，和在新园地推进工作。（《文稿》1899年4号第16页，〈在宣教园地中有效地使用钱财〉，1899年1月25日）怀爱伦著作托管委员会1979年4月24日发表于美国首都华盛顿{9MR201.1}[4]

Medical Missionary Workers to Solicit Funds From Non-Adventists.--The message "Sell that ye have, and give alms" is now to be given. But there are many who do not understand the object of this message. It is not the purpose of God that the revenues of the church should be absorbed in the work for the poor and outcast classes. This work might be presented in such a way that every dollar would be drawn from our people, and there would be no resources left for aggressive warfare in new fields. But our brethren in America, who are engaged in medical missionary lines, can by appealing to outside people obtain help, because theirs is not a denominational work. They should not draw their funds largely from our churches. The resources of the church are needed to support the gospel ministry, and to carry forward the work in new fields.--Manuscript 4, 1899, p. 16. ("The Effective Use of Means in Missionary Fields", January 25, 1899.) White Estate Washington, D.C. April 24, 1979 {9MR 201.1}[4]
