26:1 Cap. 23 - Lucrarea prin reviste 26:2 Prezentarea adevarului prin publicatiile noastre periodice. In revistele noastre sunt publicate adevaruri binecuvantate, pentru salvarea de suflete. Sunt multi care pot fi de folos in lucrarea de punere in vanzare a publicatiilor noastre periodice. - Testimonies, vol. 9, p. 63 (1909) 26:3 Suntem adormiti, dupa cate se pare, in ce priveste lucrarea ce poate fi indeplinita prin punerea in circulatie a literaturii bine pregatite. Fie ca acum, prin folosirea inteleapta a publicatiilor noastre periodice si a cartilor, sa predicam Cuvantul cu efort hotarat, pentru ca lumea sa poata intelege solia pe care Hristos i-a dat-o lui Ioan pe insula Patmos. Fie ca fiecare fiinta omeneasca ce poarta Numele lui Hristos sa poata da marturie ca sfarsitul tuturor lucrurilor este aproape; pregateste-te sa intalnesti pe Dumnezeul tau. - Review and Herald, 30 iulie 1908 26:4 Proclamati intreita solie ingereasca. Lucrarea cea mareata si minunata a ultimei solii a Evangheliei trebuie dusa acum mai departe, ca niciodata inainte. Lumea trebuie sa primeasca lumina adevarului prin propovaduirea cuvantului prin cartile si publicatiile noastre periodice. Publicatiile noastre trebuie sa arate ca sfarsitul tuturor lucrurilor este aproape. Sunt indemnata sa spun caselor noastre de editura: Ridicati stindardul; inaltati-l mai sus. Proclamati intreita solie ingereasca, pentru ca sa poata fi auzita de intreaga lume. Sa se vada ca "aici sunt cei ce 26:5 pazesc poruncile lui Dumnezeu si credinta lui Isus". Fie ca literatura noastra sa duca solia ca marturie in toata lumea. - Review and Herald, 30 iulie 1908 26:6 Abonamente pentru publicatii periodice. S-a facut greseala de a solicita abonamente pentru publicatiile noastre periodice doar pentru cateva saptamani, cand, printr-un efort corespunzator, s-ar fi putut obtine abonamente pentru perioade mai lungi. Un abonament pentru un an intreg este mai de valoare decat mai multe abonamente pentru un timp scurt. Cand revista este luata doar pentru cateva luni, adesea interesul inceteaza o data cu scurtul abonament. Sunt putini cei care isi reinnoiesc abonamentele pentru o perioada mai lunga si in acest fel exista o cheltuiala mai mare de timp, care aduce venituri mai mici, cand, cu putin mai mult tact si perseverenta, s-ar fi putut obtine abonamente pe un an intreg. Va zbateti prea putin, fratilor; planurile voastre sunt prea inguste. Nu puneti in lucrul vostru tactul si perseverenta pe care le merita. Exista mai multe dificultati in aceasta lucrare decat in alte ramuri de afaceri; insa lectiile ce vor fi invatate, tactul si disciplina dobandite va vor face potriviti pentru alte campuri in care sa va dovediti utilitatea, unde sa puteti sluji pentru suflete. Cei care nu isi invata lectia si sunt nepasatori si repeziti atunci cand ii abordeaza pe oameni ar manifesta aceleasi defecte de caracter, aceeasi lipsa de tact si pricepere, daca ar intra in lucrarea de propovaduire a Cuvantului. 26:7 Abonamentele pe timp scurt, o greseala. In timp ce sunt acceptate abonamentele pe perioade scurte, unii nu vor sa depuna efortul necesar pentru a obtine abonamente pentru perioade mai indelungate de timp. Colportorii nu trebuie sa mearga pe teren cu nepasare si lipsa de preocupare. Ei trebuie sa aiba simtamantul ca sunt lucratori ai 26:8 lui Dumnezeu, iar iubirea pentru suflete ar trebui sa-i determine sa faca orice efort cu putinta pentru a-i lumina pe oameni cu privire la adevar. Providenta si harul, banii si scopurile sunt intr-o stransa legatura. Cand lucratorii Sai fac tot ce pot mai bine, Dumnezeu face pentru ei ceea ce ei insisi nu pot face; insa nici unul nu trebuie sa se astepte sa aiba succes in mod independent si prin propriile sfortari. Trebuie sa existe actiune imbinata cu incredere ferma in Dumnezeu. 26:9 Este nevoie de economie in fiecare departament al lucrarii Domnului. Tendinta naturala a tinerilor din acest veac este de a neglija si dispretui economia si de a o confunda cu zgarcenia si ingustimea. Insa economia este in acord cu cele mai largi si liberale vederi si simtaminte; nu poate exista generozitate adevarata acolo unde aceasta nu este practicata. Nimeni nu trebuie sa creada ca nu merita sa studieze economia si metodele cele mai bune de a aduna firimiturile. Domnul Hristos a spus, dupa ce a facut o minune remarcabila: "Adunati firimiturile care raman, astfel ca nimic sa nu se piarda". - Testimonies, vol. 5, p. 399, 400 (1885) |

Special note for ANDROID SmartPhones
I recommend to download PhoneMe emulator for Android from here.
Especially I recommend phoneME Advanced - Foundation Profile + MIDP High Resolution b168 rev20547 from here, or from here.
Then you have to build your application, to transfer the .jar and .jad files on your mobile phone and run using this nice emulator.
1. Install a Zip Utility from Android Market.
2. Install a File Manager from Android Market.
3. Download and install PhoneMe, as mentioned above.
4. Build your application by using Download Multilingual Service or Dynamic Download (zip).
5. Copy the zip file into your Android Phone and unzip the content in a folder, and then write down the path to the unzipped files and the name of the .jad file.
6. Launch PhoneMe from your smartphone.
7. Inside PhoneMe, write to the main window the path and the name to the .jad file, above mentioned. Will look something like: file:///mnt/sd/download/BiblePhone.jad and then press enter.
8. The application will be installed, and next a hyperlink will be available below the above mentioned textbox. On this way you can install as many of MIDP application you like on your Android Phone.
How to install the application in Java Mobile enabled phones
It is possible now to have the Holy Scriptures on your mobile phone and to read
it wherever you are due to the Mobile Information Device Profile (MIDP)
technology in 1.0 and 2.0 versions, developed for Java applications.
A good advice is to try in the beginning the MIDP 1.0 / 128 Kbytes version, and
progressively to advance to MIDP 2.0 and larger volumes (512 Kbytes or more).
The application is available for MIDP 2.0, MIDP 1.0. You have only to select one
table on the field MIDP2.0 or MIDP1.0, according to the desired Bible version.
Then, you shall make a click on the JAR (Java Archive) file in order to obtain
the software to be installed on your mobile phone.
I recommend you to start with STARTER(MIDP1.0old) edition, then to continue with
INTERMEDIATE(MIDP1.0), and in the end, if the mobile phone supports this thing,
to try to install the ADVANCED (MIDP2.0) edition. Also, start with 128 kbytes
volumes, continue with 512 kbytes, and at the end try the version in one file.
There are cases where the mobile phone requires so called JAD (Java Descriptor)
files. These JAD files has to be
uploaded, on this case, together with the desired JAR files(s).
There are different methods to download the applications in your mobile phone as
follows:
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
5. If none from the above cases are valid
Next, we shall examine each case in order to have a successfully installation of
the software.
1. Directly from Internet by using a WAP or GPRS connection
If your have Internet access on your mobile phone (e.g. WAP or GPRS), it is
enough to access
https://biblephone.intercer.net/wap/ from the browser of the mobile phone,
and to access the desired Bible version, and then to make an option about
MIDP1.0 or MIDP2.0, and finally to select the desired module (e.g. one or more).
After the last selection, the desired version will be downloaded on your mobile
phone.
Many phones have only this option for installing JAVA appplications.
2. By using the infrared port of the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
If you don't have access to Internet directly from your mobile phone, then you
shall have to pass to this step requiring to have infrared ports on your mobile
phone and on the computer.
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to activate the infrared port on the mobile phone and align it with the infrared
port of the computer (preferable laptop).
c. Then a window will appear asking what file you want to send to the mobile
phone. Next, you will select the downloaded JAR file, and after OK, the mobile
phone will ask you if you want to load that file. You say YES and the
application will be downloaded on your mobile phone.
d. Probably, you will be asked by the mobile phone where you want to save it (e.g.
on the games or applications directories). After you made this selection, the
file will be ready to be loaded for run.
The displaying preference can be set inside the application in order to have
larger fonts, full screen display etc.
3. By wireless Bluetooth access to the mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones.
This situation is similar with the infrared case. You have only to activate
Bluetooth access on your mobile phone (check if exists) and on the computer (check
if exists).
4. By cable link between PC ad mobile phone
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific
mobile phones.
On this case the steps are as follows:
a. On this case, you will download the application by using the computer from
the Internet (i.e. JAR files).
b. Once the application is downloaded (preferable on the desktop) you will have
to set up the wired connection between the mobile phone and the computer. Next,
you will start the synchronization / data transfer application and download the
JAR file in your mobile phone. Surely, you will have to consult the CD of your
mobile phone.
c. By this application you shall transfer into your mobile phone the JAR file in
the games or applications directories. Next, you will have to select for run the
JAR desired file.
5. If none from the above cases are valid
On this unhappy case, I recommend you to find a friend with a laptop having
infrared / Bluetooth capabilities, or to buy a data link cable, or to change
your current model of mobile phone.
Unfortunately, some models of mobile phones require only WAP/GPRS in order to
download and run Java applications.
Sometimes there is a need for a special uploader software for specific mobile
phones. Therefore check the documentation of them and also the page for specific
models.
Why so many versions? Simple, because not all the mobile phones support the
Bible in one file with MIDP 2.0 (the most advanced for the time being).
