Be Christ-like
9. It is not necessary that we do so many things, or that we have our own way, but it is necessary that we should be Christ-like.
Strive for Excellence
10. We should never be content with second best.
Build Teams—thinking, planning and acting together as groups.
11. Group thinking, planning and action constitute the most highly multiplying method. Christ sent workers out two by two and in groups. We cannot know the full mind of our Lord or achieve the finest and largest results if we play a lone hand.
Look for Loyalty
12. Loyalty is the cardinal virtue in Christian work. After wide observation and prolonged study of biography, I place it first. Loyalty ensures unity, confidence, liberty and power in all Christian movements which, year in and year out, achieve the greatest spiritual results.
Trust the Next Generation–Constantly weave them into your movement.
13. We must be constantly weaving into our organization the new generation. My work the world over and across the many years has shown me that young men can be trusted with great loads and great responsibilities. You have never disappointed me when I have put heavy burdens upon them.
Continue to Grow and Grow
14. We must preserve the power of growth and continue to grow. Remember the word of the Psalmist, “He shall be full of sap; he shall bring forth fruit in old age.”
Have a Sense of Immediacy
17. We should live under the spell of immediacy. “I must work the works of Him who sent me while it is day, for the night cometh, when no man can work.”
