Pers. AC 241 hummed with scattered groups of juniors. In one group, Mary Head thoughtfully asked her classmate, Anne lVlcCully, a ques- tion. lf you were to die tonight and stand before God, and He, were to say to you, 'Why should I let you into lVly Heaven?' what would you say? There was a little pause before Anne answered. Oh, l'd remind Him of all the good things I did dur- ing my life. Surely that's a good enough reason! ls this a new false cults class? No, it's merely two Personal Evangelism 315 students using the new method which IVlr. Merritt Hoath, their teacher, had just presented to them. They were practising opening conversations. Remember now, Mr. Hoath had said in his fatherly manner, that what l'm teaching you now is what you are to teach others. This course isn't only to train you in do- ing personal work, but to train you to become 'disciple-makers of disciple-makers'! Discipleship training of new con- verts, who in turn disciple those they win for Christ, is the new emphasis of the revised course. However there is still a vital stress on soul-winning. God doesn't intend us to be fumblers, but skilled fishers of men, Mr. Hoath emphasized. This is why we use simulated witnessing situations in our classroom. Better yet, we give opportunities for on- the-job training by visitation ministries in nearby towns.

Man still needs Evang .: Training for Christ as Saviour, and this is the goal of training personal workers. Yet this course goes one step further. Discipleship programs thrust the students into an active follow-up of new believers.
