Earlier text: Use and Abuse of the Tongue

All Can Do Something.

By Wm. Penniman

This language is applicable to all intelligent, accountable beings who are placed in a sphere in which labor is possible. It is a very good thing to pray in our closets and in our families, and to speak and pray in public assemblies; but this is not all we have to do; we must be workers in every sense of the word. We must be doers of the word, and work while the day lasts; then our Lord can say unto each at his coming, “Well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.”

“Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of Heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in Heaven.” We shall not do the will of God unless we are faithful workers. In the message to the Laodiceans, Jesus says, “I know thy works.” There is very much implied in this. Talking is no doubt included in works; but there is something more to be done. “Talk is said to be cheap, but labor costs something. The promise is to be verified to those who trust in the Lord and do good. Those who pretend to trust in the Lord, yet do nothing, resemble a certain class who are always waiting for “something to turn up;” but those who not only trust but do, will turn something up. The latter class will not always wait for circumstances, but will often make the circumstances; and, instead of waiting for the tides and winds to move them along, they will go against them. Many, because they cannot do some great thing, will do nothing. All cannot stand in the sacred desk and proclaim the truth with acceptance; but they can preach by example, by “ordering their conversation aright,” and by working in the tract and missionary cause, distributing the silent messengers, and thus prepare the way for the living teacher.

If there is but one talent, it should be used to the glory of God. It matters not whether it is a talent of mind or influence, or a talent which gives strength to labor in body, or a talent of means, all should be used. All are required to do what they can. If one has not five or ten talents of means, it is his duty to make a sacrifice, or to save something by economy. “Gather my saints together unto me, those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.” Ps. 50:5.

The rich can sacrifice as well as the poor, yet it seems to be harder for them to do it. The rich man who is worth $100,000 would not be making so much sacrifice by giving $50,000 as the poor man worth $1000 would by giving $500. On this principle, we can see how the poor widow who cast in her mite, gave more than the rich who cast into the treasury of their abundance. It is plain that none are exempt in this matter of using talents; but of those who have none, as where nothing is given, nothing is required.

As it is established that all can do something, the question arises, How can they do it? We will mention only one or two ways to which we have alluded. Make a sacrifice by denying appetite—denying self. Bow not down to fine clothes, that is, to indulge in extravagant dress. Be not enslaved by tobacco, tea, or coffee, or any hurtful indulgences. There are many things with which we can profitably dispense. We can do something by economy. There can be no doubt but that “economy is a Christian duty.” Some may inquire, How shall one exercise it? How did our forefathers practice it? Did they not, “light the fires of economy and industry”? Did they not go with little clothing and without shoes, through the cold and snows of winter, when even their foot-prints in the snow were marked with blood, to gain their liberties? If they could do all this to throw off the yoke of an earthly sovereign, should not we, who profess to be looking for the soon-coming of Christ, have far more zeal in rescuing the people from the bondage of Satan?

All should act well their part on the stage of life, and we cannot adopt a much better motto than the following lines of Longfellow:—

“Let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor, and to wait.”

Wm. Penniman.

Rejecting the Truth.

By Addie McWilliams

A FEARFUL responsibility rests upon those who hear the third angel's message; and there is danger in trifling with the mercy of God and rejecting his warnings. Some over two years ago, during a course of lectures given by one of our ministers in Macona Co., Iowa, one family consisting of ten persons became interested in the truth, and were “almost persuaded,” if not quite, that “these things were so.” But when the minister spoke of the commandments and the Sabbath, one of their church associates, “a good Methodist,” said, “These are the people I told you of; they worship the Sabbath, and reject the Saviour,” and much more equally as absurd and untrue.

From this time, the mother, who was the leading mind of the family, took a decided turn, and was as much opposed to, as she had hitherto been in favor of, the truth. The minister pleaded the necessity of obedience to the commandments of God in order to insure his favor; but the mother said she knew she was accepted of God, and was living in his favor. As evidence that her course was right in his sight, she said that the Lord had given her a kind husband and eight children, all blessed with perfect health. She had sought “first the kingdom of God,” and worldly prosperity had been “added” unto her. The eldest son, however, embraced the truth, in consequence of which he met with opposition from his mother. Other members of the family believed, but were held back by the mother, who had had the light of God's truth presented for her acceptance, but would not yield.

Let us look at the sad sequel. Thirteen months passed away, and she was called to mourn over the death of a daughter. A little more than another year rolled its round, and her second and youngest son, a dutiful and loving lad, the pride and dependence of that fond mother, and the staff of the father's age, is borne to her arms a dripping, lifeless corpse. He had gone without a moment's warning to the cold embrace of that last of enemies, death. And what seemed more strange than all, the same minister who had brought to her the message of truth carried to her her lifeless boy, although not residing in that place. On being told that he was dead, she exclaimed, Those feet are on the other shore! He is with Jesus! Still, when it was intimated that persons after having been in the water two hours had been restored, she was anxious that every means should be used to bring him back to life. Was it not inconsistent, and even cruel, to try to bring that son from the presence of the Saviour to the sorrow and care of mortal life again? oldest son, on hearing of the sad accident, hastened to the scene of mourning. Mother, said he, why is this? She replied, I do not know. He then referred her to the rejected commandments, quoting the words, “I am a jealous God, visiting the iniquities of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generations of them that hate me, and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.”

From this sad circumstance, let others take warning how they turn a deaf ear to the voice of mercy and truth, lest the day come when they shall weep and lament for “their miseries that shall come upon them;” when they shall hear from the Almighty, “I have called, and ye refused. Ye have set at naught all my counsel, and would none of my reproof;” wherefore, “I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh.”

The Sabbath Question.

By Chas. B. Reynolds

TESTIMONY OF THE “FREE METHODIST.”

Very many of our Free Methodist friends admit the necessity of coming out from the world and being separate—of becoming a peculiar people. They lament the errors of the M. E. Church, and deplore its conformity to the fashions and customs of the world. They acknowledge the necessity of exact and implicit compliance with the requirements of God’s word; but when the Sabbath is spoken of, they fall back upon—“All the people keep Sunday”—“custom of the country,” &c. The following extract from the leading article of the Free Methodist, published at Aurora, Ill., Lewis Bailey, editor, dated Aug. 8, 1872, should have weight with our Free Methodist friends, and is certainly interesting as the voluntary testimony of the leading organ of that denomination on the binding obligation of God’s holy Sabbath:—

“What is the voice of God upon this subject? We say, Voice of God, because from him alone emanates, originally and exclusively, moral precepts and commands. There can be but one source of moral law, and the Supreme Being alone can be that source. The will of God concerning the Sabbath is to us made known in his word; and the interpretation of that word in favor of keeping the day holy, as a day of repose and religious devotion, is confirmed by his providences in every age and clime.”

“The original command as given by Moses, although not reiterated in the New Testament, stands as a part of the ten, not one of which has ever been revoked. *

“In view of many considerations, of which a few have been above presented, we discover that God, the great moral Lawgiver, has, in his word, by his providences, and by his Spirit, through his saints in all ages, reiterated the command: ‘Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.’”

“With those who walk by faith, the Bible settles all controversy. The word of God is their sufficient rule of faith and practice; but with infidels the voice of reason must dictate whether the Bible is right and consistent. Every argument of those who favor the Continental Sunday is drawn from reason, and not supported by revelation. The whole fabric that they rear rests upon the discriminations of human judgment, and that judgment gives life in this world a pre-eminent position. Herein is to be found the chief cause of such antiscriptural conclusions among wise men and modern divines. *

“If Mr. Beecher, and the preachers and editors that admire and follow his pernicious ways, are determined to be cupbearers to these classes of persons, while Belshazzar-like they desecrate what God sanctified unto himself; if men of influence, skilled in the use of sophistry, are resolved to furnish fuel to feed these fires of hell in fallen human nature; if not all the days of labor only, but the sacred fragment of holy time broken from eternity and thrown into the calendar of human life, must be given to greed and lust by law, it is high time for God’s people to awake and sound the note of faithful warning until unwary souls be fairly put upon their guard, and until evil workers are revealed in all the deformity of their real character.”

May the Lord help us, to whom he has given the clear light of his glorious truth, to realize the need of awaking—of being willing to make cheerful sacrifice, that the warning may be faithfully sounded, and honest hearts may be united in keeping the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus.

The Camp-Meetings.

By James White

FIVE camp-meetings have been held the present year with the very best results. We think our brethren in each of the several States where they have been held will agree with the statement that they have been the very best camp-meetings they have ever enjoyed. We can plainly discern the fact that each year our people are standing on higher ground, and that the yearly additions to our numbers are persons of greater moral value and influence than formerly.

There is a good state of union existing in the western Conferences, and the prospects of future success are encouraging. Our object at each meeting has been to relieve from embarrassments, encourage active co-operation, and leave a feeling of good cheer upon the minds of all.

We here notice with the greatest pleasure the tender care with which our wants were supplied upon the several camp-grounds of Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. We would mention particularly the affectionate attention of the newer friends at the last camp-meeting at Sparta, Wis., which was by no means the least.

After a few weeks of that rest which change gives, we take up the Eastern Camp-meetings as suggested at the head of this column. Probably Mrs. W. has never been able to hold the attention, and move the hearts of the people as now. Bro. Smith is getting the camp-meeting armor on. He adds to his ever clear manner of presenting the truth of God, a force and earnestness which make him eminently useful at these great annual gatherings of our people. And God be thanked that he gives the writer great freedom in his word, and makes him very happy in speaking words of good cheer to all fellow-pilgrims.

Let each of the eastern camp-meetings be full of success. Let there be a general turn-out at each one of them. Take time, dear friends, and be in season, and remain on the ground until your camp-meeting breaks up. Come praying, stay working, and go home rejoicing. JAMES WHITE,

North Pacific Mission.

By James White

The success which has attended the North Pacific Mission is a cause of devout gratitude to God, the Author of all good. And we have not lost the least degree of interest which we have ever felt in our very dear brother and sister Van Horn, who have so faithfully labored in that destitute missionary field. May the Lord crown their future labors of love with still greater success in time to come.

During the present year we have repeatedly requested Bro. Van Horn by letter to state the financial condition of the mission, and if he had wants to report them and they should be met. As our letters, probably, have not reached him, we take this public manner of stating that particulars will meet prompt attention at the next session of the General Conference, or at a later date.

European Mission.

By James White

Our American brethren feel the deepest interest in the work in Europe as reported by Eld. Andrews. They offer many earnest prayers to God for our dear brother, that he may be guided in wisdom, and that great success may attend his efforts. And while they give him their prayers and their full sympathy, they inquire, What more can we do? If Eld. Andrews needs means to carry on the work, he has only to state what the cause in Europe really needs, and the General Conference will promptly forward it to him. James White.

Lost Spring Wagon Seat

Some one left a spring wagon seat on the camp-ground at Sparta, Wis. It is left with Orcutt Burr, Leon, Monroe Co., Wis., where the owner can prove property and obtain it.

China and Japan.

CHINA has appropriated $60,000 for representation at the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition. The local government of Hong Chow proposes to send independently $15,000 worth of porcelain and silks.

A great Typhoon visited Hong Kong May 31. The steamer Poyang was wrecked near Macao, and one hundred and twenty-five lives lost; one hundred and fifty junks were destroyed and great damage done.

A recent investigation of the number of missionaries and converts in Japan gives the following results: Greek church, one missionary, 3,000 converts; Roman Catholic church, forty missionaries, 20,000 converts; Protestant, seventy missionaries, 200,000 converts.
