Working for the Master

SOME are inclined to think that as they grow older the time is past for speaking or engaging in work for the Lord. This is not so, however, with a dear Christian known to the writer, who has reached the patriarchal age of one hundred years, and yet he does not think his work is done. For some time he has been in the habit of writing letters to different friends who attend the same chapel as he does (especially if he misses them from their accustomed places). These letters are full of Scripture, and are, in fact, short sermons. He will write verses of Scripture on slips of paper and drop them by the roadside, so that the careless passer-by may find and perchance get a “word in season.” What an example for the young Christian to work “while it is day.” May we who know His Name have the same love for precious souls as this dear Christian centenarian.
