In view of those outstanding facts, thi tremeflidous Cneed fifidlfhe imminent second comin ' of our Lord, we ask,- W at is t e nee of t e our? ca 'lie need of the hour is spirit iilled and spirit led workers, equipped with the Word of life, to go forth at His bidding. We live in a specializing age in which generalities mean but little. 'The ., business man recognizes this fact and commissions salesmen who have his T, interest at heart, to bring the article with clinching argument in its favor, to 67 the decisive attention of the public. In this way they present the product and receive sales from those who otherwise would not be interested. And should we be contented to stand behind the sacred desk and minis- JJX ter the manifold benefits of the Gospel only to those who eome to us, when J J Q ? 3 Q G Q ? J S3 J Q Q if J S3 J G 9 a Jesus says, Go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in? The Gospel of Jesus Christ is a personal gospel- As many as received Him. The divine Commission is not exclusive of any but is a great inclusive message: The Good News to every creature. Think of the millions in the slums today! We sympathize but do we real- ize that unless we 1'Q21Cl'l these souls with a message of hope that they are doomed, not for a day but for an endless eternity in hell. The church revival is not reaching this class. Does it mean anything to you that the needy of our land, the very ones that most need the ministry and comfort of the Holy Ghost and the Word of God, are the very ones that can be reached in no other way than personal evangelism. Does your interest bespeak to the sinner the con- cern that would cause him to be awakened to his need and alarmed at his con- dition? U ' U 7 v I We live in the Laodieean period in an age when souls do not want to be stirred. liulled to sleep and confidently trusting in some refuge of lies with scarcely any warning of the wrath of God against sin, except by the causual hearing of an occasional sermon, souls are slipping out, with no hope, where they will weep and wail i11 the regions of damnation forever. Visualize with me the burning of an immense hotel. The flames are leaping high. Human life is at stake and help to be effective must be per- sonal. Over there hangs a single individual. He must be reached, the-firemen exhausts every resource. Here is personal concern. To be etfective I say the ctfort must be personal! And all this for physical life! Can we as those who realize the value of a single soul in the balance, either for God and heaven, or for the torments of an awful hell, dare to turn aside and seek to substitute for personal evangelism something less effective? A spirit satisfied with anything less than aggressive personal evangelism, underestimates the value of the Gospel to the lost, both for time and eternity. Personal salvation alone fits a man to live and prepares him to die. Every soul, including the neighbor at our door, must either have the personal knowl- edge of sins forgiven or be lost. Jesus said that He was not willing that any should perish, am I His fol- lower, and can I live longer at ease with a soul going downward, lost for the lack of help, I might give? Isaiah pronounees a blessing on those 'tWho sow beside all waters, and the Psalmist declares, He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him. -Florence White. 1 WZZESQQEGQQZEFSQQEEQQZEFSQQHGQGZZES -40- .
