FILL IT OUT.

By M. Wood

WHAT? That blank report just received. Do not throw it aside as a worthless thing, nor lay it away in some secluded place where you will never see it again, but hang it up, as recommended by Eld. St. John, by the side of your looking-glass, or in some other conspicuous place. At the proper time fill it out, direct it, and mail it to your librarian, who will forward it to the district secretary. If there are two or three hundred blank reports sent out, let the same number be returned. It is the only means we have of ascertaining how much labor has been accomplished during the quarter. If you have done so little that you have some delicacy about reporting, let that fact stimulate you to greater activity in the future. But, much or little—report it. It is the life of the Tract Society.

If, in the fear of God, we act faithfully our part, no matter how small and insignificant that work may appear to be, the Judgment will reveal the fact that that very work was important, and that by and through it the cause of Christ was advanced upon the earth. These are golden moments, brethren and sisters. “Let us not be weary in well doing; for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” Gal. 6: 9, 10. M. Wood.
