have been good.
They believe in carrying out
this scripture: “And let 11s consid
er one another unto love and good
works: Not forsaking the assemb
ling of ourselves together as the
manner of some is.”
The Lord often withholds bless
ings from us, as societies and
even churches, on account of the
unfaithfulness ot some who claim
to be followers of Christ. As in
the case of Jonah, it was disobe
dience and unfaithfulness on the
part of Jonah that brought such a
tempest on those shipmen going to
Tarshish, But even faith, if it has
not works is dead being alone. Now
we see the necessity of reading the
Bible. For we are taught to
search the scriptures and learn
what our duties are to Christ and
our fellowman.
“Study to show thyself approv
ed unto God, a workman that
needeth not to be ashamed; rightly
dividing the word of truth.” There
are people who think we have
plenty of heathen in our own coun
try. and so we have; but there are
enough Christians or those who
claim to be Christians, in every
community to administer to all the
needy ones. These things we
ought to do, and not leave the
other undone, because the Saviour
commands His followers to go into
all the world and preach His gos
pel to every creature. It we are
God’s children, we are to be led
by His spirit, “For the fruit of the
spirit is in all goodness and right
eousness and truth.” There is a
way by which we all may know
whether we are God’s children or
not; that is to have in our hearts a
willingness to obey everything
that He has commanded us to do.
If we have not the spirit of Christ,
we are none His,
