I have seen the angels of God passing from room to room, noting the articles that
were being published, noting every word and action of the workmen. Their faces were
lighted with joy, and their hands were outstretched in blessing. The conversation
carried on in the office should be elevating, far removed from all trifling and nonsense.
There is so much common conversation. The Lord desires everything connected with His
service to stand on an elevated plane. Remember that angels are walking through the
office. The Publishing Ministry, pp. 60.3, 61.1

The machinery may be run by men who are skillful in its management; but how
easy it would be to leave one little screw, one little part of the machinery, out of order,
and how disastrous might be the result! Who has prevented casualties? The angels of God
have supervision of the work. If the eyes of those who run the machinery could be
opened, they would discern the heavenly guardianship. In every room in the publishing
house where work is done, there is a witness taking note of the spirit in which it is
performed, and marking the fidelity and unselfishness revealed.The Publishing
Ministry, p. 60.2
The workers should take Jesus with them in every department of their labor. Whatever is
done should be done with an exactness and thoroughness that will bear inspection. The
heart should be in the work. Faithfulness is as essential in life's common duties as in
those involving greater responsibility. Some may receive the idea that their work is not
ennobling; but this is just as they choose to make it. They alone are capable of degrading
or elevating their employment. We wish that every drone might be compelled to toil for
his daily bread; for work is a blessing, not a curse. Diligent labor will keep us from many
of the snares of Satan, who "finds some mischief still for idle hands to do." {PM 109.3}

Bookkeeping is, and ever will be, an important part of the work; and those who
have become expert in it are greatly needed in our institutions and in all branches of the
missionary work. It is a work that requires study that it may be done with correctness and
dispatch, and without worry or overtaxation. God wants as perfect work as it is
possible for human beings to do. It is a dishonor to sacred truth and its Author to do His
work in any other way.The Publishing Ministry, p. 84.1

Christ is reviewing your work in every line. The Lord can commend only that
which is worthy of commendation. To those who are striving to do His will, He says with
a voice of heavenly sweetness, "Grace be to you, and peace, from God our Father, and
from the Lord Jesus Christ. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who
hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ" The Publishing
Ministry, p. 89.2
