true, undo the wrong teaching, or supply a lack of
the right word at the fitting season; but this only at
the cost of precious time, that might have been bet-

promptly remedied, it is by no means forgotten;
"for we must all be made manifest before the judg
ment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the
things done in his body, according to what he hath
done, whether it be good or bad." And He who is
to judge us there, says, as to the little things in our At the
teaching and conduct, "that every idle word that
men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in
the day of judgment;" and as to any failure in min-
istry to his loved ones before whom he has set us,
his word will come: "Inasmuch as ye did it not to
one of the least of these, ye did it not to me." Ah!
there is a weight of meaning in the reminder of that
Judge, as he calls to his every representative in this
sphere of preparation for that day: "Behold, I come
quickly, and my reward is with me, to render to
each man according as his work is."
Then, then, "they that be teachers [they that cause others to discern the truth] shall shine as the Daniel's brightness of the firmament; and they that turn [they that influence] many to righteousness [shall shine] as the stars for ever and ever."
