The question conies to my mind, What is the cause of this indiffer ence? And tho answer, We are all thinking too much of ourselves, our social enjoyment, our luxuries, our , business prospects,, our anxieties of j various kinds, to entertain a serious . thought for EVEN THE STARVING. Friends of Oconee, let's stop and think seriously for a moment, Just Uko we wore at tho Judgment Bar*" of God-and jift as sure as the Word of Cod is true wo will have to face these people there. When we gather those near and dear to us around the family table, spread with substantial, sustaining food, may tho Lord help us to think of Ills little ones who are STARV ING FOR ENOUGH TO KEEP THEM j A LI VE. When we lay ourselves down al night on comfortable beds for rest, may tho Lord help us to remember His little ones who aro in rags and havo not even a shelter to protect them from exposure. When wo awake In the morning and "lind "all ls well," and we look out upon a promising, peaceful coun try, may the Lord help us to think of His little one3 who aro homoless, without evon a ray of hope for the future except as lt comes from the friends of tho Lord Jesus Christ. Somo of us can do nothing; some can do but little; otb ora can do more. However, lot all who can, come to tho rescue. Wo will feel bet ter when wo have discharged this duty-and every day it is TOO LATE FOR SOME of thom, and the oppor tunity for us, so far as they aro con cerned, ls sealed!
