Do Not be Discouraged.

By Editor

MANY missionary workers get discouraged if they cannot soon see good resulting from their labors. They should not be discouraged, nor cease their efforts if they never see any fruit. Work in faith. It is written in a certain testimony that that which is done in love will be fruitful. We have known instances of good resulting where the instrument could never be aware that the fruit was through his instrumentality. Bro. Taylor wrote from Georgia as follows :—

"I cannot say how it is in all such cases; but many who have not answered letters addressed to them are much interested, and have received some light. In some instances they intended to write, but put it off till they were ashamed, or the card or letter got lost and they did not remember the address. I speak from personal knowledge when I say that the reading has done good in several cases of this kind."
