Coming to Close Quarters.

Five minutes private, personal en-
treaty will often accomplish more in
winning souls to Christ than five
months of public preaching. Close
action is effective. A pistol at mans
head is more dangerous to him than
a hundred cannOns laundering at
him two miles away. The preaching
may mean any one or no one in the
crowd but when you talk to me.
you mean me. David might have
listened calmly to long exhortations
and pious counsels without number,
but Nathan's "Thou art the man !"
cut him to the heart and brought him
to his knees.
Preaching often runs all around
men and all over them, like bucket
of water sprinkled over a pile oi
corked bottles. Personal effort un-
corkS the bottles one by one, puts in
a funnel, and pours them full OF
water.
"But 1 do not know how to talk
to people personally about Christ and
salvation" Confessed ignorance is
a good preparation for learning. How
will man know anything unless he
is taught? You can talk to people
about rain, sunshine, crops, weather,
fires and the news of the day-"out
of the abundance of the heart the
mouth speaketh"-why not read
Gods word, pray for his Spirit and
pour out that when it burns within !
Study your own heart. Know
yourself and you will know others.
Talk to others as you used to wish
some Christian to talk to you. Seek
Gods direction. Speak when he
gives the word. and wait and pray
till it comes. Do not talk when you
have nothing to say. nor bore people
with endless exhortations and dry
disputes. Observe, think, pray and
act.
Eyes, but it is such a cross !" Ah,
you do know how to do it, but are
not willing to try. Well, the rod is
heavier still, and the rod NAV yet
make you love the cross. You must
learn TO bear the cross if you would
he Christ's disciple. A word spoken
for Jesus may cost you momentary
struggle, but it may also win a soul
to God and open to you well-spring
of joy. Try It'll. l.. Hastings.
