EZRA-LIKE SERVICE

EZRA-LIKE SERVICE

I quite agree with you about letting evil workers alone. We ought to feel like Ezra — too much absorbed with setting forth and maintaining the truth which our Lord has been pleased to commit to us to have any time, not to say heart, for what its adversaries are doing. The Lord ever supports those who are faithful to the light He has given, and this faithfulness must be proved by separation from all evil. The tendency of many earnest ones is to be occupied with another line of things, or dispensation, other than the one the Lord is set on, but though He answers their faith, He cannot give the succour that He desires, because His interests are not entered on. I may not be able to make known the mystery of the gospel because souls are not prepared for it, but I am below the ^[p. 139] mark if I have any lesser aim. Hoping to see you, and with constant remembrance before the Lord.
