To the Backslider.
Dear Mr. Editor: — I feel im
pressed this beautiful morning to
sav a few words in behalf of my
Saviour, who died for the sins of
the whole world. Now it is very
often the case that my heart is j
overflowed with sadness and great
anxiety when I look around and
see the people so careless about
their own soul’s salvation. Some
of them are church mem
bers and really most of them who
have professed before the world
and before God that they have
given their hearts to the Lord, and
yet they will break the laws of the
Sabbath in many ways. Some by
cursing and swearing, some by
gambling and drinking and others
by trading knives, pistols, etc,
Now, my dear readers, don’t
understand me to be referring to
any certain one, for 1 am not, but
if you are guilty of any cf these
law breakings you are in bad shape
to meet the Saviour and you dont
know what day or hour you will
go before Him, and if you have
ever found Christ, you have lost
sight of Him, and it is high
time you are seeking Him to re
claim you again, and bring you
back to His fold, for we all know
that life is unertain and death is
sure, and men, women and child
ren are dropping out more or less
ever> day, and we do not know
what hour or what moment that
God will see fit to call us from
time to eternity, whether prepared
or not. We must go when God
calls us, and if we are unprepared,
how sad it will be to meet a pure
Savior with unclean hands and
1 ipa. Do you think you could look
into His innocent face and pure
eyes? No, never; you will want to
hide from Him. I often hear peo
ple 6ay they are restless on ac
count of dry weather and that
they are ruined if it dont rain, but
now let me tell you, friends, the
Lord knows what is best for us.
Sometimes I think we are not
worthy of half the blessings we
receive much less to grumble about
the rain. You are never ruined till
you get to hell; then you are ruin
ed eternally without remedy. Oh,
cold professor, careless Christians,
poor backsliders, turn to God,
leave off that long face and finding
fault in God and His worn It is a
fearful thing to fall in the hands
of God unprepared, and now let
me tell you, friends, you are a
Christian ora sinner one, for the
scripture plainly tells us “ye
cannot servo God and mammon.”
Then it is impossible for us to
serve two masters and we must
serve the Lord indeed and in truth
or else we are servants of sin and
satan. Sometimes I have the im
pression to want to go to the heath
en country to try in any feeble
way to hold up the blood-stained
banner of Jesus, to dying men and
women, and then the thought
comes to my mind “you can find
heathens nearer your door. If you
cannot speak like angels, if you
cannot preach like Paul, you can
tell the love of Jesus, you can say
he died for all. Now, my dear
reader friends, please excuse me
for referring to mv own experience
so much, for I am obliged to tell
a little of it as Igo along. I ask
ed the Lord the first of this year
to help me, that I might learn
more about Him aud His glory
than ever before, and I am still
looking to Him for this wondersu 1
help to some extent, while I learn
more about Him by reading His
word. Sometimes I wonder if it
hurts anyone else as it does my
self to see people who profess
Christ, doing dirty works of the I
devil before sinners who do not
profess anything, hut of course 1
know it does hurt others. I believe
that every converted man aud wo
men wants to help others find
Christ, and there are various ways
in w hich to help them
We should always have a smile
and a cheering word for the sad.
and we should show our kindness
to the fallen, for we can never get
saved by scoring them or passing
ihem by unnoticed. I fear that
lots «-f us will have to suffer a
mueh if not more for »he sms of
omission than the sin of commis
ion. beeuu-e there are s> many
duties thrown m our pathway mat
we pass by unnoticed, and sit down
and suy there is nothing I can do.
My dear reader friends, let us übk
ourselves this question, “am I im- j
proving the taleuts God has given *

me, nr am I burying them.” This
is an important question and if
you are burying those talents what
will Lh vourplei when you cine
before a just God empty handed?
