Dr. Storrs treats with three subjects, I. The duty of the church to be "always abounding in the work of the Lord"; II. The difficulties to be met, and only overcome by perseverance in this work - "be ye steadfast and unmoveable"; III. The promised reward - "your labor shall not be in vain in the Lord."
