A Golden Opportunity

By GEO. W. WELLS.

THE calls for means are numerous; the importance of the message we have to bear, and the times in which we live, make this imperative. In the South a vast army of colored people have never been reached with this message. We find among them those who are susceptible to the truth; little companies here and there are being raised up, and some are developing into strong workers. An earnest effort is being made to push the work in this field among this class of people, and God is blessing the laborers. The results seen are indeed encouraging.

In this conference alone we have over one million colored people, and whatever

is done for them must be done quickly; for the work is fast closing up.

We are told that “as yet we have touched this work only with the tips of our fingers.” Is it not high time that we awake out of sleep, and take hold of this work as never before? The time is shorter, the demands are greater, the openings for work and calls for workers are more numerous, than at any previous time. This being true, our gifts to the Southern work on this occasion (October 3) should be larger than ever before.
