THE burden of the fight comes to-day as it came in the long ago, upon the faithful three hundred. They are the ones who work and give; who, with all their earnest hearts, fight the battles of their Lord. Look over Israel to-day, and see how much larger a proportion are doing their duty than when Gideon and his band crossed over Jordan, "faint yet pursuing." When souls are brought to Christ, is it not the three hundred who give? When an emergency arises, and some unexpected call is made, is it not the three hundred who have given liberally, who give again? Do you sometimes feel discouraged, O faithful three hundred? Do you think, "I have done so much more than others, they must do this while I rest"? Does it seem hard that you must carry all the burdens, do all the fighting, and deny yourselves, while thousands do nothing? Think of the three hundred who followed Gideon across the Jordan, "faint yet pursuing." If, after doing all they had done, they had refused to do more and left the destruction of Zebah and Zalmunna to others, the kings of Midian would have made their escape.—Selected.
