Compel Them to Come In.

THIS was the charge the servants received, as they were sent forth to the highways and hedges to gather in guests to the last gospel supper. Luke 14: 16–23: “And the Lord said unto His servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in that my house may be filled.” Brethren are now holding meetings in Lincoln, Neb., and have sent us a copy of some of the circulars they are using to call the attention of the people to the meetings, and the important subjects which will there be presented. In reading those circulars, we are reminded of the call to the supper given in the scripture just referred to. It seems to us that the Lord is giving His servants earnest and right words to set before the people the truth and the present situation, which cannot fail to make an impression upon their minds. “Compel them to come in.” Truly, those who fail to respond will be without excuse. Brother Luther Warren is conducting the meetings.
