THE TIME TO LABOR.

By R. F. Cottrell

WHEN will the time be, if it is not now? Every department of the work of God, at home and abroad, is calling for means and for consecrated talent to carry it forward. Those who truly love the cause, and can command means, will embrace the opportunity to use it now. No time will be better to lift than now. And talent of every kind is now in demand. The cause calls for workers everywhere. The field is all ready. And ere long it will be too late. Many who intend to do will find that the time is past, and they are too late. “Lord, is it I?” The turning point with Laodicea is at hand, as we have been forewarned by the spirit of prophecy. Everything indicates that God has been leading us and is still leading. Those who lack heart will not be ready for the loud cry. Time has lingered; but it will not always wait. The tardy will be left behind.
There is glory and honor and immortality for the true and the faithful. All may reach the goal who will be diligent. We may all run so as to obtain. Every one will be rewarded according to his work, according to the heart’s motive in doing what we can. Courage! then, courage in the Lord! Go forward, and the Lord will bless. Pray for me.
