Our duty towards the world was beau­ tifully figured by Christ, when he said : “ Behold a sower went forth to sow.” Ever since this was said, it has been the duty of every follower of Christ to bow the seed. To this trast we are commit- etk But are we doing so? Not as per­ sistently and effectively as we should. Farm« tb 8‘udy and practice the most ap­ proved and effective way of sowing. Shall God's people be less wise ar.d diligent than the children of this world? Can we not sow the good seed of the kingdom more effectually f Yes. Then let us be at it. 1 have just published a small tract on "Do yoa want to be saved,” suitable for general circulation. Others will be published soon.
