“THE SERVANT OF THE LORD MUST NOT STRIVE, BUT BE GENTLE UNTO ALL.”

2 TIMOTHY 2:24-26.

We commend this text and its context to the careful consideration of all—especially do the “Volunteers” need to remember it in connection with the service they are seeking to render to the Lord’s true sheep still in Babylon. All thus engaged are “ministers” and “teachers” and hence amenable to the same instructions as Timothy.

Some have exposed themselves to rebuke and criticism justly, by intruding into church property uninvited. It is usually best to keep off the pavement fronting a church where there is any reason to think the service would give offence;—and to apologize if asked to move off it. If possible it is desirable to keep at such a distance from the building as to avoid seeming to want to serve its attendants more than other passers-by.

Especially make sure that your heart is so full of the love of the Lord and his brethren that it will shine out in your face;—then it will not be necessary to urge your gift, but merely to say—Accept a free paper! Lay stress upon the word free, because some refuse thinking that either a price or donation will be expected in return.

THE COLPORTEUR HARVEST SERVICE

The wide circulation of the Volunteer Tower should open the minds of people for further reading matter: and then nothing will fill the place of MILLENNIAL DAWN as the text book for Bible study. We shall be glad to hear from such as desire to enter the Colporteur work—such as have the heart for it, and some natural ability, and freedom from family responsibilities.
