God calls for the strong to-day—strong in “the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints.” These must constitute God’s working force in the culmination of his great undertaking. It is not strength of personality or strength of self-assertiveness that is needed, but strength of conviction and of faith in God and his last great message. Such messengers will speak as from God; and, speaking thus, will command the attention of men and compel decisions. His messengers, bearing his last message, have a right to speak as from the very throne of God; and still they must speak as brother to brother, with a sympathy that will lay hold of human hearts, and draw as with the very power of God. The half-hearted, the weakling, the questioner, can not do this; but there is ability in God to make the humblest a power. “Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”
