SABBATH-SCHOOLS

By Roswell F. Cottrell

It is evident that Sabbath-schools have been too much neglected among us as a people. Still some have shown a commendable zeal in this department of the work of God. Most do not realize the importance of this work as they should. I confess, for one, that I have not. Had we all seen the importance of it fifteen, twenty, twenty-five years ago, how much might have been done for the salvation of the children and youth that has not been done.

Now, since an effort to introduce a better state of things in this respect is being made, let us all come up unitedly to the work. Something may yet be done, though time is short; and the shortness of the time in which we can labor should stimulate us to earnest efforts to do what we can. Let us redeem the time. Let us make a united effort to come up to duty. We may yet save many souls, by teaching in the Sabbath-school the great truths of the gospel of salvation. Let us no longer neglect this part of our duty to God and dying humanity.
