PERSONAL WORK.— If the privates of an army left the battle to be fought by the officers, they would imitate the example of those church-members who leave the work of the gospel to ministers. Every Christian is a “royal priest,” and to the whole body of Christians was it said, “Go ye,” “preach the gospel.” As the flag-ship of Nelson was bearing down on the enemy at Trafalgar, the signal was, “England expects every man this day, to do his duty.” So Christ expects each member of his church to do his duty.
