I have a message for the leaders in Minnesota<br />

<strong>and</strong> Iowa. They need to call their forces into<br />

exercise by engaging actively in missionary work.<br />

Our brethren need to go forth as the first disciples<br />

did, to the byways <strong>and</strong> the highways, teaching the<br />

message of truth. They need to become laborers in<br />

the Lord's vineyard. God's servants must not be<br />

idlers, but must work diligently to win souls. One<br />

soul saved is of more consequence than all the<br />

riches of the world. Let our church members ask<br />

themselves the question, Do I improve my<br />

opportunities? What fruit am I bearing to the glory<br />

of God?<br />

God forbid that there should be a large outlay<br />

of means in a few places without considering the<br />

needs of the many fields that have scarcely any<br />

help. Self-denial exercised by the brethren in<br />

favored localities in order that adequate help may<br />

be given to needy fields, will aid in accomplishing<br />

a work that will bring glory to God. None can<br />

afford to build a high tower of influence in one<br />

locality while they leave other places unworked.<br />
