Let us Awake.

By S. W. Hickok

THE injunction given in the word of God is, “Let us not sleep as do others,” but exhort one another, &c. It would seem as though sufficient had been said on this subject to arouse us. The remarks of Bro. Cottrell and others are to the point. We can accustom ourselves to sleep amid the rattle of machinery, the roar of the trumpet, or the booming of the cannon; but can we sleep, shall we sleep, when the result will prove so fatal? What more evidence could we wish of the truthfulness of our position? How just will be our condemnation if we neglect the present opportunity to secure the favor of God. My heart rejoices to see some waking up to the work, cutting loose from earthly encumbrances, and setting themselves to work earnestly for the salvation of perishing souls. Oh! that all might thus feel the importance of the work.
