TO THE MEMBERS OF DIST. NO. 6, VT. T. & M. SOCIETY.
Dear Brethren and Sisters: My heart is stirred within me, and I feel that we must arouse and be in earnest, exercising faith and never doubting God's word. We must not rest satisfied with the present figures on our reports or with present attainments in grace, but be more zealous to overcome and reach out after others. Let us be diligent to scatter seeds of truth. The third angel's message is indeed to this dark world a shining light. Oh, who will walk in its light, and be saved by its truths? “God requires that all should be self-sacrificing workers. Every part of the truth has a practical application to our daily lives. Blessed are they that hear the word of the Lord and keep it. Hearing is not enough; we must act; we must do.” In the missionary cause there is a chance to act and to act now. Is there not some poor soul, starving for the bread of life, who may be reached by words of love and good cheer? Let us look about with our eyes wide open, and sympathies enlisted. Let us arouse and be active, and, by the aid of the Spirit, fruit to the glory of God will be the result. Let us labor on, watching for souls as they that must give an account of time spent or misspent, trusting in God for help, strength and wisdom; for soon the harvest will be past. M. A. GREEN.
