Heroic Firefighters and Gospel Messengers

One engine company of eighteen men fought the flames that attacked an extensive range of railroad freight sheds in San Francisco, and saved them after twelve hours of incessant, unflinching work. These have been reckoned as fire-traps for many years, yet blocks of substantial buildings in close proximity were swept before the flames. The old sheds were valuable for their treasures of freight. When men are ready to do such unselfish, heroic work for the salvation of souls, the Gospel of the coming kingdom will soon be heralded to the world. "And then shall the end come" (Matt. 24:14), and great will be the reward of the faithful messengers.
