TO CHRISTIANS AND SINNERS
The First part Of the Evangelist's
discourse was directed to Christians
and the latter part to the unsaved.
| He asked all ChristiaL5 to read the
| second chapter of St. James, as it was
the working chapter of the Bible He
quoted st. James 2:26 and said
That if faith did not produce
works it is no good and he didn't be-
lleve it would keep people out of hell
| In Phil. PIP we are requested to work
out our own salvation with fear and
| trembling. Salvation is worked in US
| by faith. We don't work for salvation,
| but we work it out. II you have faith
| it will work salvation out for you; the
| two go together; faith clings to the
| Lord Jesus Christ and work goes out
among the people to rescue souls from
a burning hell.
| Mr.. Fife said there was no one who
| could not do something for Christ;
| that if we could not do big things we
| could do little things; if we can't be a
| big ocean or river we can be small
| ones; if we can't be Moody or SankY
| we can be something for Christ
The Evangelist told Of his CONVEX
sion under Pearson and said little did
he (Fife) think seven years ago that
more than $4,000 people would make
| profession under his preaching. He
| added that as far as as he could learn
80 young men, converted under his
preaching, were now in seminaries
preparing themselves fer the minis
try.
God only wants US to do our best
then He will honor our labors, and we
will win souls for Him, said the Evan.
gelist.
Mr.. Fife paid high compliment to
Evangelist Moody by saying that he
was the only man that has made both
continents quake, religiously. Mr.
Moody's river was small at first, but
| it widened. Mr.. Fife said he recently
saw an invitation, signed by IS!
ministers, inviting Mr.. Moody to Lon
don to preach.
There is not a man or woman in
Winston but who can be won tC
Christ if we show that we love them
said the Evangelist, who read 126tf
Psalms, 9th verse. He urged tn,
Christians to show to the people, Ou
of Christ, that they 1.-THE Christians
= loved them aud wanted to see then
saved.
Mr.. Fife said he had been told By
church members since coming II
Winston that their pastors Otter
visited them and talked about Othe
: things, but did not ask about thei
: condition spiritually. They left, too
without holding prayer. He appealet
to the Christians to be for God an,
and everywhere and to ask God t.
save those out of Christ. We dom
serve God for him to save us-b
. faith in God we have been saved-be
cause He has redeemed US.
TALK TO THE UNsAvED.
Mr.. Fife asked the Christians t
] pray for him while he talked to TIN
unsayed. His appeals to those OUT o
| Christ were touching and his argU
| ments were nothing If not convincing
: This was followed by the after sci
. vice when number of Christians tes
! fed to their faith in God.
