From the converts in Uganda Comes to us a story grander, In the lesson that it teaches, Than a sermon often preaches.

For they tell what sore temptations Come to them; what need of patience, And a need, all else outweighing, Of a place for private praying.

So each convert chose a corner Far away from eye of scorner, In the jungle, where he could Pray to God in solitude.

And so often went he thither, That the grass would fade and wither Where he trod and you could trace By the paths, each prayer place.

If they hear the evil tiding That a brother is backsliding, And that some are even saying, “He no longer cares for praying,”

Then they say to one another, Very soft and gently, “Brother, You’ll forgive us now for showing, On your path the grass is growing.” And the erring one, relenting, Soon is bitterly repenting:

“Ah, how sad I am at knowing On my path the grass is growing. But it shall be so no longer; Prayer I need to make me stronger; On my path so oft I’m going, Soon no grass will there be growing.”

Have a trysting place with God! And keep a little path open!

I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.

Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

He which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.—Comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

Let us not . . . judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.—We . . . that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourelves.

Charity . . . rejoiceth not in iniquity.—Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.

Let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works.

How forcible are right words!—I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance.

They that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.

If two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.

The Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone.

Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up.

Let . . . no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.

Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. Considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently.

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

Be kindly affectioned one to another in brotherly love; in honour preferring one another.

Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.

We . . . that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.
