AND when all has been done that can be done, then what? "Be not weary in well-doing." So far as yourself is concerned. In the endeavor to lead the life of a Christian, persevere, no matter whether there are many to help you or not. In the endeavor to present yourself unblamable and unreprovable in the sight of God and men, no small perseverance is needed, no slight inward conflict is before you, no light struggle with sin. Continue on, even if alone—keep on in spite even of opposition. For one with God is a majority, and through Christ one can become more than a conqueror.
So far as others are concerned. Do not become weary in well-doing for others, though very many prove themselves to be unworthy. Do not turn away a brother to-day because one yesterday was shown to be a fraud. Do not let distrust so take the place of confidence as to cheat of all opportunities of doing good. Be on guard against imposition, but do not give up trying to benefit others because you have been imposed upon. A life redeemed from evil may sometime reward your efforts. A single life redeemed is ample compensation for a thousand efforts that have been thrown away. "Let us not be weary in well-doing, for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."—The Lever.
