SLEEPING IN GODS ACRE recently heard the soprano in a

Tha writer great church sing a simple and beautiful solo about the angels guarding the sleepers in Sleep sleep 0 Gods Acre The refrain was tender and clear We must all soon be sleeping sleep the Sheperd lovet His sheep there and only God knows how soon That thought need not trouble us It will be sweet to rest attended by the angel watchers have done well some worthy work The Master said I must work the works of Him that sent me The when no man can work while it is day The night greatest work of God that which is nearest His heart and which calls for the exercise of our noblest energies is the salvation of a lost world The toiler who labors not that he may make a living but that he may live a life for Christ the business man who consecrates his moneymaking powers the mother who prayerfully trains her children for the Lord the pastor who faithfully leads his flock the evangelist who pleads for souls and the missionary at the front all having in view the supreme end worldwide evangelization are doing the work of God and can rest in peace when the day is done not if we train our But if we give our labor for that which children merely to shine in the world if we seek to make money for the sake of riches if we preach for popular applause or if we have been halfhearted in our work we may well shudder at the thought of 1

To sleep Gods Acre Perchance to dream aye theres the rub

For in the sleep of death what dreams may come Must give us

am delighted with Dear my home in China Have begun the study of the language and enjoy it very much I of course was almost overwhelmed at first with the needs of the field but I hope that God will give me grace to be patient and willing to wait till I can learn the language and then be ready and willing to do what I can Truly this is a great Held and there is so much to he done and so few to do it so many thousands of souls who have never heard the sweet old story of Jesus and Ills Love and so few here to tell it that It almost over whelms one at first and we need to pray for patience while we must wait for the time when our tongues can Speak of His wondrous love and for more laborers to come to tiTIs great and needy field I was very much im pressed with the welcome we received from the missionaries I wish the peo at home could see their joy over new workers and hear their prayers that ascend daily for the Lord to send forth more laborers But I cannot be lieve that God will turn a deaf ear to the cry that Is going up from China I believe that He will send men and women to this field in larger numbers
