WORKERS FOR THE MASTER.

By A. Trogan

Are you a worker for the Master? If so, you have a noble calling. If you are a laborer for God, you ought to feel what a solemn privilege you have,—the privilege of helping to promote a cause in which all the holy beings of heaven are interested,—a cause which the God of the universe is so interested in that he gave his only begotten Son as an offering for those who by faith would look up to him as their Saviour. You have a noble calling. Think what a joy there will be by and by if you have been the means of turning one sinner from the kingdom of Satan to the kingdom of Christ. And if faithful, you may be the means of saving more than one. An entire consecration to God, and a full determination to work when and where opportunity offers, will surely be blessed of God. If you are faithful, you will finally enter the earth made new, with Christ as chief. Should you there find those whom you have been the means of bringing to the light, and see their countenances beaming with heavenly radiance, enjoying eternal life with its endless privileges, will not your own souls be refreshed, and the petty trials of this life sink into insignificance!

Then, weary worker, cheer up. Work while the day lasts, and that with all the energy and might God has given you. It will not last long. Soon the “Captain of our faith” will appear to relieve the weary and foot-sore pilgrim, and to give to him an inheritance among beings that have no sorrow, where weary limbs and aching hearts will never be known. Let us take courage; for we can now see tokens of the dawning of the eternal day. A. TROGAN.
