Unfaithful Helpers are a Burden
Young Men's Review
Numbers 4:34-49
And Moses and Aaron and the chief of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites after their families…


An overworked minister, whilst lamenting the lack of workers in his church, dozed, and, as the story goes, dreamed. He thought he was between the shafts of a four-wheeled coach, and four of his helpers were each pushing a wheel, and up the hill they all toiled together. Soon he felt the coach drag heavily, and at last he could pull no further so came to a standstill. On looking behind he discovered that his four helpers had quietly got inside to ride. How much happier and easier Christian work would be if all would do their best.
