that
“The
sleep
of
a
laboring
man
is
sweet.”
If
invalids
who
can,
would
engage
in
light
useful
labor
in
the
open
air
a
portion
of
each
day,
they
would
find
physical
exercise
one
of
God’s
appointed
agents
for
the
benefit
of
man.”
Children
should
be
allowed
to
exercise
freely
in
order
that
their
bodies
may
be
well
devel-
oped.
“
Labor
is
life.
Tis
the
still
water
faileth;
Idleness
ever
despaireth,
bewaileth,
Keep
the
watch
wound,
or
the
dark
rust
assaileth
;
Flowers
droop
and
die
in
the
stillness
of
noon.
Labor
is
glory.
The
flying
cloud
lightens;
Only
the
waving
wing
changes
and
brightens;
Idle
hearts
only
the
dark
future
frightens;
Play
the
sweet
keys,
wouldst
thou
keep
them
in
tune.”

from
AM
I
DOING
ALL
I
CAN?
Tat
men
“can
do
nothing
against
the
truth,
but
for
the
truth,”
and
that
God
can
make
even
the
wrath
of
men
to
praise
him,
is
well
illustrated
by
the
experience
of
Sisters
McCormick
and
Gertie
Link
who
have
been
can-
vassing
in
Windber,
a
little
town
near
Johnstown
where
our
late
camp-meet-
ing
was
held.
The
ministers
of
the
place
soon
learned
that
our
sisters
were
selling
Seventh-day
Adventist
books
in
their
town,
and
four
Protes-
tant(?)
ministers
and
a
Catholic
priest
used
their
combined
influence
to
hin-
der
their
work.
They
spoke
against
them
publicly,
and
even
went
from
house
to
house
and
warned
their
peo-
ple
not
to
order
the
books,
and
if
they
had
ordered
them
not
to
take
them.
They
had
rented
a
room
from
a
lady
who
was
a
member
of
one
of
the
churches,
and
through
the
mflu-
ence
of
the
minister
she.
refused
to
allow
them
to
occupy
the
room
any
Bat
longer,
so
they
had
to
move.
ATLANTIC
ONION
GLEANER
they
found
another
room
and
went
right
ahead
with
their
work.
This
lady
was
soon
ashamed
of
her
course,
and
asked
them
to
come
back
and
live
with
her
again.
They
found
that
the
work
the
preachers
had
done
was
really
a
help
instead
of
a
hin-
drance
to
their
work,
for
it
had
aroused
a
curiosity
in
the
minds
of
the
people
to
know
what
there
was
im
this
book,
and
what
these
people
really
did
believe.
One
lady
said
before
they
had
time
to
show
the
book,
“I
have
heard
of
your
book,
and
I
will
take
one
in
the
best
binding.”
They
anticipated
trouble,
however,
when
the
time
came
to
deliver;
but
in
this
they
were
hap
pily
disappointed,
for
they
delivered
every
book
but
one.
But
this
inci-
dent
also
shows
that
the
enemy
is
active.
The
influence
and
authority
of
the
religious
leaders
over
the
peo-
ple
is
growing
rapidly,
and
it
will
not
be
long
until
many
of
the
people
will
not
dare
buy
a
book
if
the
minister
condemns
it.
But
just
now
1s
our
time
to
work.
Many
of
the
people
still
think
and
act
for
themselves,
as
is
shown
by
the
above
experience.
This
demonstrates
the
truth
of
the
following
statement
from
¢
Testimo-
nies
for
the
Church,”
Vol.
VI,
p.
16:
¢«“
There
is
a
special
power
in
the
pre-
sentation
of
the
truth
at
the
present
time
;
but
how
long
will
it
continue?
—Only
a
little
while.”
Is
it
any
wonder
that
the
statement
follows:
“If
there
was
ever
a
crisis,
it
1s
now’?
Every
child
of
God
to-day
should
ask
himself,
¢“
What
is
my
attitude
toward
the
work
of
God
in
this
great
crisis?
Am
I
where
I
should
be?
Am
I
doing
all
I
can—all
God
requires
of
me
to
advance
the
third
angel’s
mes-
sage?
If
not,
why
not?
What
will
be
the
result
to
me?
Shall
I
continue
as
I
am?
or
shall
I
arouse
and
devote
my
time
and
energies
to
the
cause
of
Jesus
Christ,
to
‘spend
and
be
spent
for
him’
?”
God
calls
for
whole-hearted
conse-
cration
;
not
the
weak-kneed
kind
of
service
which
allows
a
man
to
get
discouraged
and
go
home
every
time
he
meets
some
difficulty,
or
has
a
book
left
on
his
hands.
It
is
time
for
those
to
whom
God
has
entrusted
the
work
of
giving
his
message
to
the
world
to
wake
up
and
act
as
though
they
were
in
earnest.
“Quit
you
like
men,
be
strong.”
