Speak for Jesus.

By L. E. Millne

WHAT can I do for Jesus to-day? I asked myself, as I arose, and lifted my thoughts heavenward. How shall I honor my blessed Master? An opportunity soon offered. A lady called, and after a short conversation, I began speaking of the soon coming of Jesus, and the joy and gladness of the dear saints who loved his appearing. While speaking, I felt the sweet Spirit of the Lord witnessing with mine that I was in the path of duty. Oh! the blessing of the Lord! It makes us rich! This afternoon a gentleman called, and was shown into the room where I was sitting. My REVIEWS were lying on the table before me, and they attracted his attention. He commenced asking questions, and I referred him to the remnant people spoken of in the Revelation, who keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus. He seemed to listen with so much interest that I gave him some of our tracts, which he promised to read. I pray the Lord to bless the good seed sown in this wicked city.

Let us be encouraged to speak for Jesus. Let us not be ashamed of his word, but let us be diligent in his service. Our days are swiftly passing, and shall we not improve each passing hour? Shall we not speak often of his wondrous love, of his tender mercies with which he is blessing us every day? Let us honor Jesus each day in all we do and say, and he will remember us when he comes with power and great glory to gather his jewels, and will give us a place in his everlasting kingdom. L. E.
