They go and come, and no cheers them Perhaps all the reward they get is harsh eriticlama, or remulse, or their own fatigue. If you have ever heard of any good they have done, let them know about it. If you find some one benefited by thelr alms, or their prayers, or their cheering word, go and tell them, They may be almost ready to give up their mission, They may be almost in despair because of the seeming lack of results. One word from you may be an ordination that | one good.” Then the pastor replied, “You do me great good every Sabbath.''
