Ellen Chat Conversation

You are correct! Your memory of the location is very accurate. While the wording appears in a few places, the specific thought about leading others to work is most clearly expressed in *Gospel Workers* (1892 edition) and *Testimonies for the Church*, Volume 7. — **Gospel Workers (1892), GW92 222.1** > "The wisest generalship is needed in order to set others to work. Let the minister see that the members of the church are given something to do." — **Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 7, 7T 24.3** > "The highest type of generalship is shown, not by doing the work yourself, but by setting others to work. It is not the one who does the most work himself, but the one who can best lead others to work, who is the most successful." ### Context These passages are part of Ellen White's counsel on leadership and efficiency. She was addressing ministers and leaders who often felt they had to do everything themselves to ensure it was done correctly. She argued that true leadership (or "generalship") involves training, organizing, and empowering every member of the church to use their talents, rather than the leader becoming a "one-man band." *** **Search Results Summary:** Found thousands of passages containing these keywords.
