of God and have greatly retarded <strong>the</strong> work of God's<br />

messengers.<br />

in many places. Sometimes those who have<br />

indulged in a censorious, condemnatory spirit have<br />

repented and been converted. Then God has been<br />

sustaining this work. God is calling <strong>for</strong> men who<br />

will consecrate <strong>the</strong>mselves to <strong>the</strong> work of<br />

soulsaving. When we begin to comprehend what a<br />

sacrifice Christ made in order to save a perishing<br />

world, <strong>the</strong>re will be seen a mighty wrestling to save<br />

souls. Oh, that all our churches might see and<br />

realize <strong>the</strong> infinite sacrifice of Christ!<br />
