THE LORD'S ANSWER TO MANY QUESTIONS.
So MANY are asking questions like these: What shall I do? Where shall I work? How shall I work? Can you get me a place to work in the cause? All such inquiries are but an evidence that the questioner misunderstands the call to work. Each one is to “work in the cause” right where he is. Each one is to do whatever his hands find to do, doing it heartily as unto the Lord. So complete and helpful an answer is given to these and similar queries, in “Gospel Workers,” page 336, that we give it here:— “Take up the work anywhere and everywhere. Do that which is nearest you, right at your own doors, however humble and uncommended it may seem. Work only for the glory of God and the good of men. Let self sink out of sight, while with earnest purpose and solemn prayers of faith you work for him who has died that you might live. Go to your neighbors one by one, and come close to them till their hearts are warmed by your unselfish interest and love. Sympathize with them, pray for them, watch for opportunities to do them good, and as soon as you can, gather a few together and open the word of God to their darkened minds. Keep watching, as he who must render an account for the souls of men, and make the most of the privileges that God gives you of laboring with him in his vineyard. Do not neglect speaking to your neighbors, and doing them all the kindness in your power, that you may ‘by all means save some.’ The extensive work will not be neglected. The larger plans will be laid at the right time; but personal, individual effort and interest for your friends and neighbors will accomplish much more than can be estimated. It is for the want of this kind of labor that souls for whom Christ died are perishing.”
