Faithful Continuance.

By H. A. St. John

THE work of obtaining subscribers for our periodicals is a good work, but in most places these hard times require faithful continuance to make much success. Our canvassers, however, are gaining ground slowly. The great lack is courage and perseverance. When the work goes slowly, to hold on and keep to work is the thing. A long pull, a strong pull, and a pull all together, should be our watch words.

We wish to say to all that are thus engaged, If the battle goes hard, pray more and labor harder. Do not abandon the field because of hard times or repulses. Commit your case to the Lord every night in earnest prayer, and with new courage and good hope continue the good work every day. H. A. St. John.
