"Chapter 41—United Effort in Canvassing Perfect unity should exist among the workers who handle the books that are to flood the world with light. Wherever the canvassing work is presented among our people, let both the health books and the religious books be presented together as parts of a united work. The relation of the religious and the health books is presented to me as illustrated by the union of the warp and the woof to form a beautiful pattern and a perfect piece of work. 6T 326"
"For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ."
EGW uses the analogy of warp and woof to illustrate the unity needed between health and religious books, which parallels the concept of unity in the body of Christ as described in 1 Corinthians 12:12.
"Divisions and distinct parties should not be seen among our canvassers and general agents. All should be interested in the sale of the books treating upon the health question as well as in the sale of the distinctively religious works. The line is not to be drawn that certain books only are to occupy the attention of the canvassers. There must be perfect unity, a well-balanced, symmetrical development of the work in all its parts. 6T 326.3"
"Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment."
EGW's emphasis on unity and avoiding divisions among canvassers directly reflects the principle of unity urged by Paul in 1 Corinthians 1:10.
