It is not q want of time that keeps us
from serving God, nor want of means
that keeps US from giving to his cause.
If our soul hunger were intense enough
we would find time to pray as easily as
we now find time for our meals If we
yearned to save dying souls az weyearn
TO bless our own children. We would
find something to give and something
TO do for their help.
