He was crossing the fields from

the fields and knew the bov had
fallen into one. With all the
speed his agonzed heart could give
to flying feet, he ran to the rescue.
To his jov he found the we'll shall

out the little fellow said with qniv-

him such q long time of waiting.
those few seconds of loneliness and
fear.
1t set the father to thinking OF
The millions in the dark lands abroad
who had fallen into the pit of ig
norance and sin, many of whom
long for "A helping hand to lift
them out. He bad often thought
that some day he might go. The
experience of his own little one in
peril helped him 10 understand that
there is need for haste in rrScniag
souls from sin. With orr know
ledge OF the events Occurring upon
the earth, aud with the final mes
sage of warning committed to our
hands, we have responsibility
to do quickly all that God enables
US to do, such as was never pres sed
upon any people. The providence
of God cheers the cry from all ends
of the earth, "Why don't you hur-
ry?" and people to whom the Mar
yelons Message is just coming won
der that it had not reached their
ears sooner.
Heaven Is fastening the message
on, away beyond our own efforts
and cooperation. These provi-
dences, by which the standard is
set so often far beyond our frontier
lines serve notice upon us that the
Lord expects us to quicken our
steps. When he saws, Delay no
lonoer" tba inactivity which once
DELAYED the work will only sever
the sothful servant from the work
May every soul hear anew the
cry Of the waiting ones in all lands
We are to pray and work and give
to heather this message just as if
our very own were in the PIT crying
to us, "Why don't you hurry?"
Anything short Of this means loss
OF our own souls.

Away from care and sin,
I know that | shall watch and wait
Till He, the keeper of the gate,
Lets all the children in.
