The Meetings at Woodland.
By Editor
WE again bespeak a general attendance of the brethren, as far as possible, at the Woodland meetings, February 7 to 18. Our people cannot afford to let slip any opportunity for thorough preparation in this cause. The time past is sufficient for half-hearted and half-executed work. More thorough work, and more extensive effort is needed as the end draws nigh. Individuals who have done imperfect work in the past, may find excuse in that they did the best they could under the circumstances; but if they fail to improve as opportunity is presented, inefficiency on their part in the future will be without excuse. And persons contemplating entering upon the work in any department should bear in mind that every efficient laborer in the cause of "present truth" has become such by persistent and self-sacrificing preparation. As the end approaches, perfect work becomes more necessary. Soon there will be no time for correcting mistakes. If one has but six months in which to labor, it would be better to spend half the time in preparation than to go forth in ignorance of his mission. But the importance of such meetings does not lie solely in gaining a knowledge of how to labor in the cause; the matter of living out the truth will also receive much-needed attention, and no doubt a reviving impetus. As heretofore announced, a strong corps of experienced speakers, instructors, and successful laborers will add to the efficiency of the meetings, which will be the most important ever held in that vicinity.
