Weak Brethren.

By Editor

1. THERE are some brethren so physically weak, that they cannot raise their hand as high up as their pockets, and some not quite so weak but that they could do that, who are not able to lift it out again. 2. There are some brethren so weak from the labors of business, that they have not strength to walk to church on the Sabbath, and some not quite so weak, who can get there only once that day. 3. There are some so weak after the toils of the day, that they are not able to walk to prayer meeting; and then, again, others who can get there, are too weak to speak or pray. 4. There are some brethren so weak as to be unable to rise early enough to have family worship before business hours; then there are others, who do rise early, but are too weak to reach down the old family Bible. 5. There are some brethren so weak in talents that they are not able to teach a class in Sabbath School, but who are not quite so weak when a political meeting is on hand.—Ed.
