ENCOURAGEMENT FOR CHRISTIAN WORKERS.
"My word shall not return unto me void."--Isa. iv., II.
"When saddened by the little fruit thy labors seem to yield, And when
no springing blade appears in all thy barren field; When those whom
thou dost seek to win, seem hard, and cold, and dead-- Then, weary
worker, stay thine heart on what the Lord hath said; And let it give new
life to hopes which seem well-nigh destroyed-- This promise, that His

word, shall not return unto Him void. For, if, indeed it be His truth, thy
feeble lips proclaim, Then, He is pledged to shadow forth, the glory of
His name. True this at present may be veiled; still trustingly abide, And
"cast thy bread," with growing faith, upon life's rolling tide. It shall, it
will, it must be found, this precious living seed, Though thou may'st
grieve that thoughtless hearts take no apparent heed. 'Tis thine to sow
with earnest prayer, in faith and patient love, And thou shalt reap the
tear-sown seed, in glorious sheaves above, Then with what joy ecstatic,
thou wilt stand before His throne, And praise the Lord who used thee
thus to gather in His own! Adoring love will fill thine heart, and swell
thy grateful lays, That thou, hast brought some souls to Christ, to His
eternal praise, That thou hast helped to deck His brow, with
blood-bought jewels bright; Trophies of His wondrous love, and His
all-saving might. Oh, the grandest privilege to be thus used, to bring
them in! Oh, grandest joy to see them safe beyond the reach of sin!
Then mourn not, worker; though thy work shall cause thee many a tear,
The glorious aim thou hast in view, thy saddened heart will cheer,
Remember, it is all for Him, who loveth thee so well; And let not
downcast weary thoughts, one moment in thee dwell, It is for Him! this
is enough to cheer thee all the way; Until thou hearest the glad "Well
done", and night is turned to day." --Author Unknown

A MOTHER'S CRY,
Yes I represent the mothers. "Rachel wept for her children and would
not be comforted because they were not." So I am crying for help,
asking men to vote for what their forefathers fought for--their firesides.
Republican and Democratic votes mean saloons. There is not one effort
in these parties to do ought but perpetuate this treason. Yes, it is treason,
to make laws to prohibit crime and then license saloons, that prohibit
laws from prohibiting crime. There is not a lawful or legalized saloon.
Any thing wrong can not be legally right. "Law commands that which
is right and prohibits that which is wrong." Saloons command that
which is wrong and prohibit that which is right. This is anarchy. There
is another grievous wrong. The loving moral influence of mothers must
be put in the ballot box. Free men must be the sons of free women. To
elevate men you must first elevate women. A nation can not rise higher
than the mothers. Liberty is the largest privilege to do that which is

right, and the smallest to do that which is wrong. Vote for a principle
which will make it a crime to manufacture, barter, sell or give away
that which makes three-fourths of all the crime and murders thousands
every year, and the suffering of the women and children that can not be
told. Vote for our prohibition president and God will bless you. Pray
