Helpers in the Warfare.
By The Christian
THERE are many people who would gladly be helpful in fields of labor wider than those where their work has been assigned them. They would be glad to preach, to write, to edit papers, or to do many things which seem beyond their power. There is something they can do; they can help others who are engaged in this kind of warfare. If they have a heart of labor they will surely find a way. If they cannot write tracts, they can purchase and distribute those which others write; if they cannot publish papers, they can subscribe for those which others publish, and extend their circulation in quarters where they would otherwise be unknown. They can help forward after a godly sort those who go forth "taking nothing of the Gentiles," and they can, by their influence, their words, and their money, do much to diffuse the knowledge of God and aid others who are set for the defense of the gospel. It is not possible that all soldiers in the army should be in the front of the battle or out on the skirmish line; there must be some ready to fall in when the alarm is heard; there must be forces kept in reserve in time of extremity and emergency. There is work for all to do, and those who have a heart to labor have only to report themselves to the great Captain of our salvation, saying, "Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" and he will surely assign them their proper position.—The Christian.
