Danger in Adopting Worldly Policy in the Work of God warns against importing secular business methods into denominational operations. This pamphlet emphasized: maintaining distinctive Christian principles in institutional management, resisting pressure to adopt worldly efficiency methods disregarding spiritual principles, preserving worker welfare over profit maximization, and trusting divine guidance versus human wisdom. White emphasized that worldly policy measures success financially while God measures spiritually, that human efficiency schemes often sacrifice spiritual values, and that adopting world's methods leads to losing distinctive witness. The testimony called for maintaining faith in God's methods despite appearing inefficient by worldly standards. This counsel addressed recurring temptation to abandon distinctive principles for apparent practical advantage.
