That some mistakes are made is not to be
wondered at. When men are laboring to the very
best of their ability to gather up something with
which they can advance the work, let us be
considerate. Let those who would find fault with
them go right out into a new place where the work
is hard, and endeavor to give a presentation of a
perfect work, as an encouragement to others.
Let us be kind and courteous, and let us be sure
that we do not discourage at a time when we
should cheer and lift up. God wants every soul to
be encouraged that our brethren in Nashville have
been striving to advance the work.
The work in the South will go forward. And I
beg of you, Do not let any one here, whether he
comes from the North or the South, listen to words
of criticism and discouragement. When men's
hearts are sanctified to God, and they see their
brethren struggling with all their might and power
to pull the heavy load up the hill, will they stand
