I' ' 3 1 1 I - Q. va ' . I 1, f 1 , , .f t lffif , 131 1?-ffl? DISCIPLESHIP means self-denial, cross bearing, and following Christ. The disciple has renounced self. He has affiliated himself with Holy Principles and Standards-thus all of his motivating purposes and energies are directed away from self, and he is clothed with the Spirit and Power of Christ. THE WORLD is our possession, if we reclaim it from Satan's con- trol. Upon the CROSS, the debt for every soul was cancelled. We must enforce Ca1vary's Claims and compel Satan's release of individuals and finances, and impel the continuous building of Christ's Kingdom within hearts. After Christ's ascension, the disciples were resonsible for the evan- gelization of the WORLD. The evangelization of the present WORLD depends upon the readiness of true discipleship. What if the disciples had failed after the giving of the Great Commission QMatt. 28:21J? What if we fail after the promise of indwelling of the Dynamic Power? The compelling inward drive forces us into the regions beyond- into the darkened, untouched, unexplored areas of the globe. The love of God Constrainth Us Go? Go, we must! Great Commission Schools train young people to be loyal Ambassa- dors. These Ambassadors are nurtured in the principles of active faith, the study of the Word, and the practice of prayer. The courses have five main emphases: 1. Direct Study of the Bible Text. 2. Gospel Music. 3. World Missions. 4. Child Evangelism. 5. Personal Evangelism.

Oh! the bitter shame and sorrow, That a time could ever be, When I let the Saviour's pity Plead in vain, and proudly answered 'All of Self and none of Thee! Yet He found me: I beheld Him Bleeding on the cursed tree g Heard Him pray, 'Forgive them, Father,' And my wistful heart and faintly - 'Some of Self and some of Thee! Day by day His tender mercy, Healing, helping full and free, Sweet and strong, and oh! so patient, Brought me lower while I whispered - 'Less of Self and more of Thee! Higher than the highest heavens, Deeper than the deepest seag Lord, thy love at last has conquered: Grant me now my soul's petition - 'None of self and all of Thee!
