Women to Be Gospel Workers
The work that has been begun in helping our sisters feel their
individual accountability to God is a good and necessary work. Long
has it been neglected. The Lord would have us ever urge the worth of
the human soul upon those who do not understand its value. And when
this work is laid out in clear, simple, definite lines, we may expect that
the home duties, instead of being neglected, will be done much more
intelligently.
If we can arrange to have regular, organized companies instructed
intelligently in regard to the part they should act as servants of the
Master, our churches will have a vitality that they have long needed.
The excellence of the soul that Christ died to save will be appreciated.
Our sisters generally have a hard time with their increasing families
and their unappreciated trials. I have so longed for women who could
be educated to help our sisters rise from their discouragement and feel
that they could do a work for the Lord. This will bring rays of sunshine
into their own lives, which will be reflected into the lives of others.
God will bless all who unite in this grand work.
Many youth as well as older sisters appear shy of religious con-
versation. They do not appreciate their opportunities. They close the
windows of the soul that should be opened heavenward, and open their
windows wide earthward. But when they see the excellence of the
human soul they will close the windows earthward, which depend on
worldly amusements and associations in folly and sin, and will open
the windows heavenward to behold spiritual things. The word of God
must be their assurance, their hope, their peace. Then they can say: “I
will receive the light of the Sun of Righteousness, that it may shine
forth to others.”
[115]
The most successful toilers are those who cheerfully take up the
work of serving God in little things. Every human being is to work
with his life thread, weaving it into the fabric to help complete the
pattern.
