The harvest is about closing up, and the wrath of God is about to be poured upon our world…Yes, brother, - it will soon be over when sinners can be converted. I would, therefore, advise you to lead your hearers by slow and sure steps to Jesus Christ. "I say slow, because I expect all are not strong enough to run yet; and sure, because the bible is a sure word; and where your hearers are not well indoctrinated, you must preach Bible; you must prove all things by Bible; you must talk Bible; you must exhort Bible; you must pray Bible, and love Bible; and do all in your power to make others love Bible, too. {1853 SB, MWM 100.4}
