The Gospel to Every Nation

Two articles in the Field Work department this week will be found of special interest; namely, “The Message for the Blind,” by Elder S. N. Haskell, and “Progress of the Work Among the Jews,” by Elder F. C. Gilbert. It is interesting to note in these days of the rapid advancement of this movement the manner in which the gospel of the kingdom is being carried to all classes of people. The prophecy predicts that the message shall go to every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, and we see the fulfilment of this word taking place before our eyes to-day. Soon the work of God will have been accomplished, and those who have been true and faithful will be gathered home. How small then will appear the sacrifice that is now required of us in the prosecution of this movement. Like the man in the parable, we may give our all for the purchase of the field, but we shall find the treasure so exceeding great that all which we may give will be counted as of little moment. What are a few years of toil compared with an eternity of bliss? What is the sacrifice required in the salvation of some soul compared with the satisfaction of seeing that soul saved to all eternity? We shall feel that heaven is cheap enough, and that no comparison can be drawn between the sacrifice we shall make in obtaining it and the infinite and inestimable blessing that God bestows in return.
