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, A Missionary BOOKS CIRCULATED BY CARNEGIE LIBRARY FOR APRIL Fiction 102, Classed Literature 81. Total 783.
