Forty-One Little Sermons.

Story★★★★

A man was preaching about Christians recognizing each other in heaven, and some one said, “I wish he would preach about recognizing each other on earth.” In one place where I preached, I looked over the great hall of the old circus building where it was held, and saw men talking to other men here and there. I said to the Secretary of the Young Men’s Christian Association who got up the meeting, “Who are these men?” He said, “They are a band of workers.”

They were all scattered through the hall, and preaching and watching for souls. Out of the fifty of them, forty-one of their number had got a soul each and were talking and preaching with them. We have been asleep long enough. When the laity wake up and try and help the minister the minister will preach better.

The point

A preacher's sermon about heavenly recognition inspires a listener to point out that Christians should recognize and help each other on earth, not just in heaven.
