What are you doing in your particular section? Have you entered this work with the Lord? Long ago He lifted His mighty arm in behalf of His schools; long ago He called us to arouse out of sleep. Are we awake to the situation here?
The Lord has prepared the ground; all things are ready for our work. He doesn’t ask us to build an oak tree, but He does ask us to sow faithfully the acorns. He doesn’t ask us to gather the harvest: “The reapers are the angels.” But, O brethren, let us sow the seed; let us put our lives into God’s hands so fully that He can use us to His glory in His appointed work. The people must have God’s truth. They will learn to love His voice in nature, they will learn to know that voice in their own souls, if they are guided to see His workings in all about them.
What a mine of wealth is stored in one single chapter of “Christ’s Object Lessons,”—wealth of truth right along this line! Are we feeding the people on this truth? Are we loyal to our Leader in following wherever He goes to prepare the way for us to work? Let every soul that has been touched with a desire to do something for the relief of God’s schools and the uplifting of Christ’s name in the earth, delay no longer. Standing on the threshold of eternity and expecting to meet the result of every neglected opportunity at the judgment bar of God, dare we put off doing what the Lord has said must be done to roll the reproach from His name and His work in the earth? Let those who hope for a home in the new earth arouse! God says that “only those who are interested in the cause of God on earth will sing the song of redeeming love above.” Do you believe it? Do you hope to mingle your voices in that song? Then “arise, shine; for thy light is come.”
Let the interest marked by faithful, prayerful, unceasing effort be shown in the work with “Christ’s Object Lessons.”
