Men Wanted.

THE great want of this age is men. Men who are not for sale. Men who are honest, sound from center to circumference, true to the heart’s core. Men who fear the Lord and covetousness. Men who will condemn wrong in friend or foe, in themselves as well as in others. Men whose consciences are steady as the needle to the pole. Men who will stand for the right if the heavens totter and the earth reels. Men who can tell the truth and look the world and the devil right in the eye. Men who neither brag nor run. Men who neither swagger nor flinch. Men who can have courage without whistling for it. Men in whom the current of everlasting life runs still, and deep, and strong. Men careful of God’s honor and careless of men’s applause. Men too large for sectarian limits, and too strong for sectarian bands. Men who do not strive, nor cry, nor cause their voices to be heard in the streets, but who will not fail nor be discouraged till judgment be set in the earth. Men who know their message and tell it. Men who know their duty and do it. Men who know their place and fill it. Men who mind their own business. Men who will not lie. Men who are not too lazy to work, nor too proud to be poor. Men who are willing to eat what they have paid for. Men who know in whom they have believed. Men whose feet are on the everlasting Rock. Men who are not ashamed of their hope. Men who are strong in divine strength, wise with the wisdom that comes from above, and loving with the love of Christ. Men of God!
