Let the Work Be Thorough.
By Jabez C. Tucker
At our last camp-meeting, precious instruction was given us, and good resolutions were there formed. We promised to live a better life, a life more consecrated to God and his cause, that we may do some good in winning souls to Christ. It is of the utmost importance that we begin right. Let us not skip over our past errors; if we do, all our efforts will be in vain, but let us search the Scriptures. If we have wronged our brethren, let us take a scriptural course toward them, as our Saviour has given us instruction in Matt. 5:23; or if our brethren have trespassed against us in any way, or have reproached the present truth, for by so doing they have trespassed against us, inasmuch as we love the truth, let us follow the instruction given in Matt. 18:15. Now, let us make thorough work, that we may not be disappointed when Christ shall come to gather his elect. Kingston, R. I., Sept. 8, 1875.
