“God designs that we should be prompt in accepting and confessing Christ, prompt in obeying him, and in answering the call of duty. The eunuch was a good man of good refute and occupied a high and responsible position. Through his conversion the gospel was carried to Ethiopia, and many there accepted Christ.--EGW, The Spirit of Prophecy, vol. 3, p. 305.
