Speaking Boldly.

By Isaac Taylor

WE are come to no gentle mood in the world's history. This is not the hour of leisure and soft persuasion. Whoever does not speak expressly and boldly, had better not speak at all. The adherents of the gospel must either forfeit all chance of hearing, or act with a corresponding energy and promptitude. Whatever overloads, encumbers, defaces our faith, should be thrown aside. Whoever is loaded with the stuff of the world, whether interests or prejudices, will be chased from the field, or fall there ingloriously.
"Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen to be a soldier. And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. . . . Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things." 2 Tim. 2: 3, 4, 6.—Isaac Taylor.
