Means and earnest labor may be safely invested<br />

in such a work as this, for it is a work that will<br />

endure. Thus those who have been dead in<br />

trespasses and sins are brought into fellowship with<br />

the saints and are made to sit in heavenly places<br />

with Christ. Their feet are placed <strong>on</strong> a sure<br />

foundati<strong>on</strong>. They are enabled to reach a high<br />

standard, even the loftiest heights of faith, because<br />

Christians make straight paths for their feet, lest the<br />

lame be turned out of the way.<br />

All to Act a Part<br />

Every church should labor for the perishing<br />

within its own borders and for those outside its<br />

borders. The members are to shine as living st<strong>on</strong>es<br />

in the temple of God, reflecting heavenly light. No<br />

random, haphazard, desultory work is to be d<strong>on</strong>e.<br />

To get fast hold of souls ready to perish means<br />

more than praying for a drunkard, and then,<br />

because he weeps and c<strong>on</strong>fesses the polluti<strong>on</strong> of<br />

his soul, declaring him saved. Over and over again<br />

the battle must be fought.<br />
