Let them strive each day to live the life of Christ, seeking to know the
way of the Lord.—

After Twelve Months’ Trial—To those whom He calls to the
work of the ministry, the Lord will give tact and skill and understanding.
If after laboring for twelve months in evangelistic work, a man has no
fruit to show for his efforts, if the people for whom he has labored are
[687]
not benefited, if he has not lifted the standard in new places, and no
souls are converted by his labors, that man should humble his heart
before God, and endeavor to know if he has not mistaken his calling.
The wages paid by the conference should be given to those who show
fruit for their labor. The work of the one who recognizes God as his
efficiency, who has a true conception of the value of souls, whose heart
is filled with the love of Christ, will be fruitful.—
