SUCCESS TO GOOD MEN.

We desire to see every man succeed who is for the “right way of the

Lord,” and hope the Lord and his people will hold up the hands of every

such man. We know the Lord will hold up the hands of every such man;

never leave him nor forsake him; but will grant him grace and glory,

and withhold from him no good thing; and we know, too, his people, when

they have time to reflect and the means of knowing before them, will

stand by the good and true, the sincere and faithful. They will let

religious adventurers pass, and turn their backs on them. They want

no charlatans under the garb of religious teachers. Be good and true,

faithful and honest, sincere and sound, in the true sense, and there is

no danger of the people getting to think you are _unsound_.
