The sands have been washed in the footprints 
Of the Stranger on Galilee's shore, 
And the voice that subdued the rough billows, 
Will be heard in Judea no more. 
But the path of that lone Galilean 
With joy I will follow today; 
And the toils of the road will seem nothing, 
When I get to the end of the way. 
There are so many hills to climb upward, 
I oft am longing for rest, 
But He who appoints me my pathway 
Knows just what is needful and best. 
I know in His Word He bath promised 
That my strength, it shall be as my day ; 
And the toils of the road will seem nothing, 
When I get to the end of the way. 
When the last feeble step has been taken, 
And the gates of that city appear, 
And the beautiful songs of the angels 
Float out on my listening ear; 
When all that now seems so mysterious, 
Will be bright and as clear as the day ; 
Then the toils of the road will seem nothing, 
When I get to the end of the way.

EASTERN CANADIAN MESSENGER 
WORD FROM WASHINGTON 
A letter just received today from Elder J. L. 
Shaw, Treasurer of the General Conference, 
expresses the real concern felt by the mission 
hoard at this time. We are passing on the 
letter, just as it has come, and trust that 
every believer in Eastern Canada will accept 
it as a personal invitation to join us in lifting 
as we have never lifted before. The letter reads 
as follows: 
Dear Fellow-workers : 
As we come to the end of the year, the pros-
pect at the present rate of giving is that we 
shall have a deficit of $200,00. From infor-
mation given out from time to time, you are 
doubtless aware that owing to the pressing 
needs of the work in foreign fields a 15 per cent 
increase of appropriation, or approximately 
$300,000, was promised for 1925. Through 
the liberality of our people, we have received 
about $100,000 thus far this year, leaving fully 
$200,000 to be provided. 
For some reason the amount received last 
year :n the Week of Sacrifice offering was not 
as large as in previous years. We believe 
that as our workers and leaders now under-
stand the situation, they will do their part and 
lead our people to give special help at this time. 
The action of the Autumn Council is as fol-
lows :— 
"In view of the dire need of securing $200,-
000 in addition to the amount of money now in 
sight for 1925, to enable the Mission Board to 
meet the additional 15 per cent appropriated 
for the current year,— 
"We recommend, 1. That the plan for the 
observance of Self-Denial Week for 1925, as 
provided by action of the Autumn Council of 
1924, be carried out, and we suggest November 
14-21 as the date. 
"2. That we request each church to set a 
goal equal to $2.00 per member. 
"3. That we earnestly invite our confer-
ence and institutional workers to set an ex-
ample in sacrifice by giving one week's salary, 
and that we encourage the rank and file of our 
people as far as possible to join in a similar 
sacrifice, following the Bible principle found in 
2 Cor. 8:12: 'For if there be first a willing 
mind, it is accepted according to that a man 
hath, and not according to that he hath not.' " 
It was remarkable how the call of the Week 
of Sacrifice following the Autumn Council in 
1922 gripped our workers. It was a call of 
great need, and in a truly remarkable way our 
workers and people did their part, and as 
result $200,000 came into the mission treasury. 
This year the need is just as great, and the 
mission treasury more greatly reduced. With 
less funds in sight, we have a more extended 
work to be financed around the world,—hence 
the present emergency. We must now look to 
God's people who have made a covenant with 
Him by sacrifice, to come to the help of the 
cause. 
Last year our people in Europe in their 
great poverty raised in the Week of Sacrifice 
$40,000. Surely not less than $200,000 should 
be raised by our people in this offering in 
prosperous America! 
We trust our people will read the next num-
ber of the Review, November 12, 1925, setting 
forth the Week of Sacrifice and the reason for 
it. It should stir them to help. 
There is every reason to praise God for the 
advance of the message in the worldwide field. 
We have never received such reports as during 
the last year. The faithful efforts of our mis-
sionaries in seed-sowing are bringing on an 
abundant harvest in many places, and now is 
the time to press in with men and means to 
reap the harvest. Let us work and pray and 
lift as never before, that the message may speed 
on to the darkest corners of earth. 
Yours in the Master's service, 
J. L. SHAW 
ADDRESS :GIVEN AT THE AUDITORS' CON-
VENTION, DES MOINES, IOWA, 
October 1, 1925 
There is one man who seems to be set be-
fore us in the Bible as an example or model of 
efficiency. He is one of the very few Bible 
characters in whose life the Scriptures record 
no fault, and yet he was a man who carried 
exceedingly heavy administrative responsibility 
in a wonderfully well-organized kingdom. I 
refer to the prophet Daniel. The experience 
in his career to which I refer is recorded in 
the sixth chapter of the book of Daniel and be-
gins with the first verse. In the organization 
of the Persian Empire under Darius, the king-
dom was divided into provinces. Over each of 
these provinces a prince was set as ruler, and 
so we read that one hundred twenty of the 
princes of the kingdom were called to the prov-
vincial rulership by Darius. Now over these 
princely rulers three presidents were appointed, 
and of these Daniel was first. 
The service of Daniel in this high responsi-
bility was so marvelously efficient and so corn- 
EASTERN CANADIAN MESSENGER �

pletely satisfactory to the king that King 
Darius thought to set him over the whole realm. 
This plan of the king aroused the envious op-
position of the princes and they determined on 
the downfall of Daniel. As we read in the 
fourth verse, "Then the presidents and princes 
sought to find occasion against Daniel." 
Having read thus far in the story I want 
you to notice what their idea really was. We 
can catch the trend of their envious thought 
by noticing the direction of their search; the 
place where they sought occasion against him. 
Was it in his home? No. In his private life? 
No. Among his friendships? No. His re-
ligion? No. His nationality? No. What they 
really wanted to question was his efficiency in 
the office that he occupied in the kingdom. 
Therefore they sought occasion against him 
"concerning the kingdom," and then began a 
terribly critical examination of the affairs of 
his office. One hundred twenty-two of the 
most critically minded auditors went to work 
to find fault with his business efficiency, his 
business system, his business methods, his 
ability as an administrator. His right to the 
king's notice as an able man of affairs must be 
effectually destroyed, and so every transaction 
must be tested, every method explored, every 
account checked, every motive weighed, and 
every result measured; a cruelly exhaustive 
search ; truly a wickedly critical espionage 
which was to discover occasion for complaint. 
But never were wicked men more completely 
confounded. The record says: "They could 
find no occasion nor fault . . . neither was 
there any error or fault found in him." Surely 
that was a wonderfully efficient office and surely 
Daniel was a model administrator. One hun-
dred twenty-two men, princes of the blood and 
capable of making a thorough examination of 
Daniel's affairs, were compelled at the end of 
that examination to admit that there was not 
one error, not one fault. He had applied no 
weak principle. He had employed no faulty 
business method. He had displayed no inat-
tention. He was a marvel of accuracy, a 
model of success. He was prompt and up-to-
date. He was efficient. How pleased those 
one hundred twenty-two princely auditors 
would have been could they have found him 
even behindhand in his work ! Do you suppose 
they would have excused him on the plea that 
he was overworked? Why, they would have 
triumphed in the charge that he was incompe-
tent or unfaithful or lacking in diligence. But 
Daniel was prompt, and promptitude is an 
absolutely necessary quality to a successful 
and efficient management of the business affairs 
of God's cause. How pleased they would have 
been could they have found any evidence of 
inattention to the affairs of state, or careless-
ness in his manner of giving them attention. 
But no, they were not to experience that sort 
of pleasure, for Daniel was faithful, reliable, 
prompt, and efficient ; so wonderfully so that 
not a single fault, not a single error in his work, 
himself, or his relation to the kingdom could be 
discovered. And so convincing were the evi-
dences of his efficiency that those one hundred 
twenty-two princely auditors despairingly ac-
knowledged : "We shall not find any occasion 
against this Daniel except we find it against 
him concerning the law of his God." And even 
in that they had, perforce, to go with murder-
ous purpose and lying lips to King Darius to 
win from him the means by which Daniel was 
to be overthrown. 
In the sixth verse the record states that these 
presidents and princes assembled (margin, 
came tumultuously) to the king and said thus 
to him : "King Darius, live forever. ALL the 
presidents of the kingdom, the governors and 
the princes, the counsellors and the captains, 
have consulted together." 
Now the lie in this statement is obvious, for 
Daniel, the chief of the presidents, was not only 
not consulted, but was the one whose influence 
and life were being plotted against. 
But leaving that part of the story, Daniel 
stands in this Scriptural record as a model of 
business efficiency. His experience - is here 
tapped for our benefit at the most difficult time 
and point of his whole career. When stand-
ing next to the king, beneath responsibilities 
that would weigh down any but the extraordin-
arily efficient, he was compelled to bear his 
load not only without the co-operation of his 
associate presidents and subordinate princes, 
but with all their envied hatred directed against 
him for his overthrow.

THE CRIMES OF THE TONGUE 
'The second most deadly instrument of de-
struction is the dynamite gun,—the first is the 
human tongue. The gun merely kills bodies; 
the tongue kills reputations and ofttimes ruins 
characters. Each gun works alone; each 
loaded tongue has a hudred accomplices. The 
havoc of the gun is visible at once. The full 
evil of the tongue lives through all the years; 
even the eye of Omniscience might grow tired 
of tracing it to its finality. 
"The crimes of the tongue are words of un-
kindness, of anger, of malice, of envy, of bitter-
ness, of luirsh criticism, of gossip, lying, and 
scandal. Theft and murder are awful crimes, 
yet in any single year the aggregate sorrow. 
pain, and suffering they cause in a nation is 
microscopic when compared with the sorrows 
that come from the crimes of the tongue. Place 
in one of the scale-pans of Justice the evils re-
sulting from the acts of criminals, and in the 
other the grief and tears and suffering result-
ing from the crimes of respectability, and you 
will start hack in amazement as you see the 
scale you thought the heavier shoot high in air. 
"At the hands of thief or murderer few of 
us suffer, even indirectly. But from the care-
less tongue of friend, the cruel tongue of enemy, 
who is free? No human being can live a life 
so true, so fair, so pure as to be beyond the 
reach of malice, or immune from the poisonous 
emanations of envy. The insidious attacks 
against one's reputation, the loathsome innu-
endoes, slurs, half-lies, by which jealous medi-
ocrity seeks to ruin its superiors, are like those 
insect parasites that kill the heart and life of 
a mighty oak. So cowardly. is the method, so 
stealthy the shooting of the poisoned thorns, 
so insignificant the separate acts in their seem-
ing, that one is not on guard against them. It 
is easier to dodge an elephant than a microbe. 
"Every individual who breathes a word of 
scandal is an active stock-holder in a society 
for the spread of moral contagion. They be-
come like certain carrion flies, that pass lightly 
over acres of rose-gardens, to feast on a piece 
of putrid meat. They have developed a keen 
scent for the foul matter upon which they feed. 
"There are pillows wet by sobs: there are 
noble hearts broken in the silence whence comes 
no cry of protest; there are old-time friends 
separated and walking their lonely ways with 
a hope dead and memory but a pang; there are 
cruel misunderstandings that make all life look 
dark,—these are but a few of the sorrows that 
come from the crimes of the tongue. 
"To sustain ourseh es in our own, hasty 
judgments we sometina s say, as we listen, and 
accept without investigation, the words, 'Well, 
where there is so much smoke, there must be 
some fire.' 
Yes, but the fire may be only the 
fire of malice, the incendiary firing of the repu-
tation of another by the lighted torch of envy, 
thrown into the innocent facts of a life of 
superiority."

DOING THE MASTER'S WORK 
Many regard Harvest Ingathering as a ne-
cessary though very unpleasant work, while to 
others it is ai source of spiritual uplift, and a 
renewing of strength that carries with it one 
of the greatest blessings and comforts that 
Christians can experience. 
Every reader of this little paper, has at 
some time or other been engaged in the Har-
vest Ingathering work, and all are more or less 
familiar with the experiences to be met with. 
To tell of the ordinary work of the campaign 
would therefore be neither interesting or neces- 
sary, but I believe �
would be interested 
in an experience which I recently had at Grand 
Falls, the pulp, and paper town, and some who 
read this will have pleasant recollections of 
the very places I am about to mention. 
Somehow, (hiring the summer I felt a call 
to visit this place. Something prompted me 
to make an effort to go there, and when I 
heard of the rh �
of Arthur Manuel the call 
became too insistent to he overlooked. Elder 
Manuel was about to leave for Fall Council, 
and intended stopping over for a day with 
Brother and Sister Manuel at Grand Falls, 
on his way across country, so I decided to take 
advantage of this opportunity and go with him 
to see what God had in store for me at that 
We left St. John's on Monday evening, and 
arrived at Grand Falls next morning at seven 
o'clock, after a pleasant run, and drove im-
mediately to the home of Brother Manuel, 
which is situated in the town some two miles 
EASTERN CANADIAN MESSENGER �

stant. We found Sister Manuel very natu-
Llly depressed over the loss of her dear boy, 
it she was not all together despondent, and 
It that she would be under condemnation if 
Le did not raise at least ten dollars for the 
Luse. Everything I could do or say to corn-
,rt her I did, and I feel sure that God helped 
e to put fresh courage into her heart. 
On the afternoon of our arrival Elder Man-
1 and I went back to the station, and between 
5 we collected some eighteen dollars. The 
Al work in the town proper, however, was to 
nnmence on the morrow, and this work I had 
lanned to do with Sister Manuel, as the Elder 
Id to leave then in order to connect with the 
.ain for Halifax. 
When I left St. John's my husband who saw 
e off at the train had said "Good bye, Jennie, 
)me back with a hundred and fifty," and 
lough I knew he intended this as a joke, and 
aver dreamed that I would get that amount, 
;ill I decided there and then to make that my 
Dal, and with that figure always before me, 
:Id a constant prayer in my heart, I toiled 
eadily on. 
Each morning before starting out, I would 
-t my goal, and nearly always I would, with 
ad's help reach the mark set. Nor was Sis-
3' Manuel idle, for she too had caught the 
irit, and was striving hard to gather the 
rgest possible amount. So each day we fared 
rth, doing the Masters' work, never doubting 
nt He would look after us, and if it Was for 
E.'. good of His cause give us the desired 
mount. 
The time came for my return to St. John's 
=er two weeks, and on counting over my 
I found I was something like seventeen 
lars short. Sister Manuel seemed to think 
would never get that amount, but my faith 
s strong, and in my heart I knew that God 
old not let me return without my goal. The 
_ht before leaving for home I called at the 
me of a friend of mine, and told him how 
ch I was short, and asked him, more as a 
e, to make good the amount. This he did 
do, but he gave me a nice donation, his 
gave me another, and still another came 
-n his daughter, so that all together from 
t house I collected eight dollars. Thus en-
raged I went out into the streets, and was 
long in collecting the balance of the amount 
.quired. When all was finally in, and count-
: found that I had gathered one hundred, 
fifty-two dollars, and fifty cents, and Sis-
Manuel had taken something over forty 
mrs. And right there, I thdnked God for 
what he had done for us in giving us this large 
sum from what was, to me, an entirely new 
territory. 
There were many little incidents of the trip 
that would be of interest to the readers, but 
space will not permit. Suffice it to say that 
we went as the Divine Master commanded, 
taking no thought for ourselves and obtaining 
our meals wherever the kindness of some 
person's heart prompted them to offer us the 
hospitality of their board. One or twice it 
was suggested we buy something for lunch, 
but each time I replied that "the laborer is 
worthy of his hire." 
The experience was a splendid one, and I 
came home refreshed in body, and with a re-
newed feeling of God's tender care over me, 
and a determination to do His work, whenever 
the call came. To all workers in the harvest 
field I would say, give of your best to the 
Master, and your reward will be 'twofold: 
your earthly strength will be renewed, and you 
will be fitted for a place in the Kingdom that 
is to be.

WORK ON THE RESERVE 
Dear Messenger Readers: 
It is a much longer time since I wrote to the 
Messenger than I had intended it should be, 
especially as I am well aware that any news 
from the Six Nations Reserve is always an item 
of interest to our people. 
You will be glad to hear that on October 21, 
it was my privilege to baptize six dear souls in 
a watery grave, to rise to walk anew in the 
Saviour's footsteps. The charge given at the 
church just prior to the baptism was deeply 
impressive, and we hope some lasting results 
will be the outcome of the solemn vords spoken. 
Two sisters of the Galt company promised 
the writer that they would give a day at Har-
vest Ingathering, so as to help our Indian 
brethren reach their goal of $125. This offer 
by Sisters Lowry and Liscombe is greatly ap-
preciated by us. 
November 2 and 3, Mrs. Young, James, and 
the writer, together with the above mentioned 
sisters drove to the city of Guelph, canvassed

that place two days, returning with a sub-
stantial sum that will encourage the Iroquois 
Church, bring joy to the mission board, help 
to the mission field, as well as courage and bles-
sing to our own souls gained from the ex-
perience of those two days in active service. 
We were kindly entertained at the home of 
Sister Needham at Galt, whose kind words of 
hospitality were an inspiration to all of us. 
We hope to write further in the near future 
of the progress in the Harvest Ingathering as 
well as the evangelical work.

WEEK OF SACRIFICE 
Letters have gone to all church elders, and to 
the isolated members enclosing a special enve-
lope for the Week of Sacrifice offering. This 
offering is to be taken in all our churches Sab-
bath, November 21. The offering should be 
placed in the envelope provided. All loose col-
lection on this day should go for the same pur—
pose. 
Every one is encouraged by the General Con-
ference to donate the week's wage or income, 
if possible to foreign missions. The call really 
anticipates the largest single donation of the 
year t missions on the part of us all. Many 
are in such circumstances that they cannot 
make such a heavy sacrifice. This is recog-
nized, and so at the last Autumn Council, it 
was suggested that church goals be set, so that 
the larger giving of those who are able, would 
make up for others in more unfavorable fi-
nancial circumstances. 
Taking the General Conference suggestion 
of a church goal, and adapting it to the con-
ditions of each local church would result in 
something like this: 
Amherst $35. 
Barrington, $15. 
Conference, $30. 
Carlingford, $15. 
Charlottetown, $10. 
Halifax, $80. 
Hopewell Cape, $10. 
Indian Harbor, $10. 
Lake George, $20. 
Minto, $10. 
Moncton, $60. 
Memramcook, $80. 
New Glasgow, $20. 
North Sydney, $10. 
Sydney Mines, $10. 
Scott's Bay, $10. 
St. John, $80. 
Tantallon, $20. 
Tiverton, $10. 
Let us count our blessings, -and bring an 
offering of self-denial, and thanksgiving, that 
others may receive the light of the world, 
Jesus our Saviour, and soon-coming King.

HARVEST INGATHERING 
We are very happy to report the following 
churches over the goal October 31, in the order 
indicated. 
Indian Harbor 
Lake George 
Fox Point 
Charlottetown 
Hopewell Cape 
Amherst 
Scott's Bay 
Halifax 
Tantallon 
Carlingford 
Barrington 
We trust that in response to the earnest ap 
peals from the Autumn Council, that individ 
uals in all these churches will do some In 
gathering in November, and not stop entire]: 
because the church goal is reached. We wit 
publish the amount received from each of th 
churches over the goal when the returns ar 
in for November. Churches which had no 
reached their goals October 31, are as follow 
St. John 
Moncton 
Mem ramcook 
Tiverton 
New Glasgow 
Sydney Mines 
North Sydney 
Some of these churches were nearly out, al 
probably are by this time. Others may 
hindered by unforseen circumstances frc 
reaching the original goal set. However, 
are sure that earnest efforts will be made 
all these churches, so that the conference vi 
not fail of reaching the suggestion of o 
keISTERN CANADIAN MESSENGER �

General Conference president, Elder Spicer, of 
each conference turning in an average of $10 
each for every member in its territory. If 
this is done, it will mean that the conferences 
in the North American division will exceed the 
goal set, by more than a quarter of a million of 
dollars. 
Let Maritime do its part, which is entirely 
possible. Think what it will mean if all con-
ferences in North America reach this average. 
How it would gladen the hearts of our faithful 
missionaries, and what a missionary advance 
would follow! 
NEWFOUNDLAND BOOK WORK 
Most of the readers of the Messenger are 
acquainted with the fact that Newfoundland 
has been doing some very fine work in the sell-
ing of our subscription books. Most of the 
books have been delivered and no doubt many 
of these purchasers are enjoying these long 
winter evenings by studying "Bible Readings" 
and other of our denominational volumes. One 
of these customers has written a letter from 
Newstead on Notre Dame Bay inquiring where 
he could secure another copy of "Bible Read-
ings for the Home Circle." 
Let us pray that many inquiring minds will 
be led to the truth by studying these good 
books which have been scattered so faithfully 
by the colporteurs in Newfoundland this past 
summer.

OBITUARIES 
Dauphinee-Mrs. Isabel! Dauphinee nee Bur-
goyne, was born at French Village, N. S., April 
5, 1863; and died at Halifax, N. S., on Nov. 5 
1925. In the year 1884 she was married to Capt. 
Judson Dauphinee, and to this union three sons, 
and one daughter were born. Thirty-six years ago 
she accepted the Third Angel's Message under the 
labors of Elder R. F. Cottrell. All these years 
she has been a faithful member of the Tantallon 
church. It was said that she was especially faith-
ful in tithe paying. As she gathered the garden 
produce, fruit, eggs, milk, butter, and other things, 
she measured, weighed, or placed a value upon 
them and gave a tenth to the Lord. Her home was 
the worker's stopping-place when the ministers 
visited the Tantallon church. She was always ready 
to lend a helping hand to any in the neighbourhood 
who were in trouble or sick. Sister Dauphinee 
was highly respected in her community. On the 
day of the funeral, the Tantallon church was filled 
to its seating capacity, and some standing in the 
porch, who came to pay their last respects. Surely 
a mother has fallen in Israel. 
She is survived by her husband, two sons, Charles 
and Noah of Tantallon, and one daughter, Ida,

JOSEPH CAPMAN 
Cooley.-Ian, oldest child of Mr. and Mrs. W. E. 
Cooley, died September 19, 1925, at the age of 6 
years and 9 months, in St. Joseph's Hospital, Hamil-
ton, Ontario, after a very short illness. A slight 
injury became infected so seriously that no medical 
aid could save him. Ian loved the Sabbath school 
although it was not possible for him to attend 
regularly, and during his sickness grieved because 
he could not be there every Sabbath. He has left 
to mourn father, mother, a little sister, and other 
relatives, but all who knew him will miss him. 
On Sabbath afternoon, September 12, we sorrow-
fully laid him to rest in beautiful Hamilton Ceme-
tery till the morn of eternal day shall dawn. 
E. A. JONES 
Sterling,-Mrs. E., wife of David Sterling died 
in Hamilton September 21, 1925. Sister Sterling 
had not been physically strong for some time, but 
the end came very suddenly. Her last sickness 
lasted only a few hours, and she slept her life 
away. Left to mourn are the husband, two daugh-
ters, one son, and other relatives. She was laid 
.o rest in Woodlawh Cemetery. 
A. E. JONES 
NEARING HOME 
What matters that the waves in fury lash 
The rock whereon we stand? 
What matters that the clanging sabre clash 
Resounds through all the land? 
The wild beasts prowling in the thickest night 
Cannot affright us, nor the ominous sky 
Awake our fears. 
Across the flood betwixt us and our home, 
The city bright descry; 
Its light gleams out upon the water's foam 
From glittering turrets high. 
The waves will part, and we in triumph tread 
The firm, dry rock upon the river bed; 
So banish tears.

FOR CHRISTMAS 
Christmas time presents a splendid oppor-
tunity for the sale of literature. It is a time 
when people will spend money for presents. 
Our people everywhere should take advantage 
of this opportunity to bring the attention of 
their neighbours and friends to our books, and 
the splendid assortment we have for both old 
and young should make us bold to suggest that 
no better gifts could be made. There are many 
who will welcome a suggestion of books and be 
pleased to find that such appropriate material 
is at hand. 
The "Home Missionary Prospectus.' has 
been newly equipped for the 1925 Christmas 
delivery. The neat green felt folder contains 
five splendid books moderately priced. There 
arc stories for the little ones, inspirational 
reading for the youth and older members of the 
family, and a good practical cook book for 
the busy housewife. "1"ncle Ben's Clover 
Field," "Best Stories," "New Testament Prim-
er," "Steps to Christ," and "The Science of 
Good Food and Cookery," make up the list. 
The retail price of these books is $8,55. As 
a special inducement to help our people take 
hold of this the Canadian Watchman Press has 
quoted a price of $4.50 for the complete out-
fit, which is 23 cents less than the wholesale 
price of the books. 
This is the best time to begin to work with 
this prospectus as people have only begun to 
make their selection of Christmas gifts. Tak-
ing the orders now, with a delivery about the 
20th of December gives them time to raise the 
money. Write to the Tract Society office for. 
a sample kit, and they will send you full pal'-
ticular?,. with instructions about ordering and 
delivering. Your field secretary will be glad 
to help you also. Join the Home Missionary 
Workers' ['Mon and you will be a blessing to 
your neighbors and to the cause of God.
