Men Wanted.

The great want of this age is men. Men who are not for sale. Men who are honest, sound from center to circumference, true to the heart's core—men who will condemn wrong in a friend or foe, in themselves as well as others. Men whose consciences are as steady as the needle to the pole. Men who will stand for the right if the heavens totter and the earth reel. Men who can tell the truth, and look the world and the devil right in the eye. Men that neither brag nor run. Men that neither flag nor flinch. Men who have courage without shouting to it. Men in whom the current of everlasting life runs still, deep, and strong. Men who do not cry, nor cause their voices to be heard on the streets, but who will not fail or be discouraged till judgment be set in the earth. Men who know their message, and tell it. Men who know their places, and fill them. Men who know their own business. Men who will not lie. Men who are not too lazy to work, nor too proud to be poor. Men who are willing to eat what they have earned, and wear what they have paid for. These are the men wanted to help carry on the work of the church of God everywhere.—Sel.
