emit districts in town. This il movo in
the right direction-it means work 1t il
following the injunction go into the
highways and hedges and compel them to
com. in" Not being content to attsad
church sleep q little, hear little, talk
about the bad weather, to secure crops a
little, etc. but 60 into the vineyard with
willingness to labor, and plenty Of
work will be found to do, some perhaps
that should have been done long ago. We
may fold our arms, yet the solemn toll Of
the bell tells the too oft sad tale, another

ed. Christ meant something when nc said,
Work while tho day lasts"
