WITHOUT PURSE OR SCRIPT, Chapter 6 of The Church and The Gospel   Pages 62 to 82   The Lord’s Missionary System The Lord had a special program for missionary work-it was for His servants to devote full time to the spiritual call of preaching the Gospel. The manner He prescribed was to go without purse or scrip, meaning they were not to take a wallet or money (or credit cards) with them. It was a very unusual system by worldly standards, but one that certainly promoted faith and humility.
