100 TO 1.

In view of the oft-repeated statement that there should be one hundred workers where there is but one, it might not be out of order to call attention to a statement, by the same author, which sets forth, in no uncertain language, one of the primary causes of this poverty of laborers. “In the common walks of life there is many a man patiently treading the round of daily toil, unconscious that he possesses powers which, if called into action, would raise him to an equality with the world's most honored men. The touch of a skillful hand is needed to arouse those dormant faculties. It was such men that Jesus called to be His co-laborers, . . . “If men in humble life were encouraged to do all the good they could do, if restraining hands were not laid upon them to repress their zeal, there would be a hundred workers for Christ where now there is one.”—“Desire of Ages,” pages 250, 251.

Comment would be superfluous.
