Labors in Great Britain and Scandinavia
247
“My brethren, bind up with the Lord God of hosts. Let Him be
your fear, and let Him be your dread. The time has come for His work
to be enlarged. Troublous times are before us; but if we stand together
in Christian fellowship, none striving for supremacy, God will work
mightily for us.
“Let us be hopeful and courageous. Despondency in God’s service
is sinful and unreasonable. He knows our every necessity. He has all
power. He can bestow upon His servants the measure of efficiency that
their need demands. His infinite love and compassion never weary.
With the majesty of omnipotence He unites the gentleness and care of
a tender shepherd. We need have no fear that He will not fulfill His
promises. He is eternal truth. Never will He change the covenant that
He has made with those that love Him. His promises to His church
stand fast forever. He will make her an eternal excellence, a joy of
many generations.”
