Practical Workers Needed

THE world needs practical men, not men of theories and abstract speculations, but men who can comprehend the needs of society, wisely plan for the supply of those needs, and then successfully execute their plans. How many men are living an aimless, dreamy life, cultivating an idea, but doing little or nothing to better the condition of those around them! What we need in the church, and everywhere else, is workers, heroic, persistent workers, men who are not afraid of toil, but are willing to do and dare for the right. Nothing great was ever accomplished without hard work. Ordinarily, work is the measure of success. The command of Christ to every one of us is, “Go work to-day in my vineyard.” There must be no loitering there. Men may stand idle in the market place, but when they enter the vineyard of Christ they must work. Neither the church nor the world has any use for men who can do nothing but theorize.—Sel.
