Preach by Example.

By H. S. Zoller

There is no more effectual way for us to labor in our Master's vineyard, than to live out the principles of pure and undefiled religion. In this way, when the work of the Lord is so great and the laborers so few, each one of us can preach the truth by a steadfast adherence to the principles of the law and the gospel.

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy mind and with all thy strength, and thy neighbor as thyself. These two commandments comprise the law and the gospel.

Are we firm and unwavering supporters of this grand system of religion, which has come down to us from Heaven? If so, we shall teach it by every act and word and look; we shall demonstrate its power as we move in our families, amid cares and storms and sorrows. We shall exemplify it by patience and kindness and charity, “Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.” Phil. 1:11. H. S. ZOLLER.
