This pittance is held as an offset against

Make Them Think

A young man WAS urging his com
paniOn to seek the salvation of his
soul, but was answered that he did not
think much about it.
''Then you do sometimes think Of
il, ," said the other.
Eyes, when you, or some one else,
makes me, but / put it out of my
mind as soon as / can"
And this is true of most uneOnverted
persons. They will not think of God
and of their own spiritual interests
when they can possibly help It. We
need to Use our best efforts to make
them think. This is not done so much
by long, wearisOme appeals as by
brief, pointed, atieetiOnate seed
thoughts dropped into the heart ut an
OppOFtune moment, and left to gener-
ate there under the warm beams Ofthe
Spirits power.
But this seed sowing must be
frequently and wisely done. We
should choose n time when no one else
is near, and never let an opportunity
pass when the soil Of the heart is
especially prepared to receive it.
Many q bereavment has been the
means of bringing the thOughtless and
careless to reflection and conversion,
because a friend has wisely improved
the hour when the heart was sOftened.
Many are hindered from making
this effort from a feeling that a great
deal ought to be said, and they are
unequal to the task. But in all or
dinary cases your words should be
few. \ single sentence well put,
showing your deep interest and feel
ing, is often more powerful than a
sermon. Even a tear, or an earnest
grasp Of the hand, has stirred the
heart TO depths, showing that others
were deeply concerned for the souls
welfare.
Pray earnestly for the friend before
you address him, and the way will
open, and seem easy; follow up any
impression that may be made BY little
earnest notes and fragment words OF
loving counsel and sympathy; but
above all pray much, and never doubt
but your prayers will be heard and
answered.
