The Call for Laborers.

By A. P. Lawton

FROM the aged and feeble, not much may be expected. The young and strong, must bear most of the burdens; while we that are older, will do what we can, to hold up their hands by encouraging words. May we all arise in the name of the Lord and put on strength, and do what we can to win souls. Those who are willing to wear a starless crown, will wear none. Each soul saved by our faithfulness will add luster to a fadeless crown. We must let go of earth, if we would take hold of Heaven. True and living faith will give us the victory. God is a detector of the heart. He weighs every motive. Love for perishing souls must outweigh, and take the place of, every selfish feeling and needless self-indulgence. God will send us one with tidings who has none. Those he sends he will give something to say. I earnestly pray that we may be so taught of God that each may know what he will have us to do. Though we may sow the seed in great weakness, God will raise it in power.
