Some there are who speak disparagingly of the blessed and holy work of evangelization. We tremble for them. We feel persuaded they are not in the current of the Master’s mind, and hence we utterly reject their thoughts.
It is to be feared that their hearts are cold in reference to an object that engages the heart of God. If so, they would need to humble themselves in His presence, and seek to get their souls restored to a true sense of the magnitude, importance, and interest of the grand question before us. At least let them beware of how they seek to discourage and hinder others whose hearts the Lord has moved to care for precious immortal souls.
The present is most assuredly not the time for raising difficulties, and starting questions which can only prove stumbling blocks in the path of earnest workers.
It becomes us to seek in every right way to strengthen the hands of all who are endeavoring, according to their measure, to publish the glad tidings, and make known the unsearchable riches of Christ.
Let us see that we do so, as far as in us lies; and above all things let us never utter a sentence calculated to hinder anyone in the blessed work of winning souls to Christ.
