practical effectiveness of the Christian
IaIth. We therefore realize in our national
ahiction clear call TO the Immediate and
thorough evangelization of all the inhabi-
tants of America.
z We call attention to the reed Of AN
evangeliStic reformation of tho entire
church OF Christ in order to the evan
gelizatlon OF all the unsaved. The churches
nave barely held their own for the past
nNe years, as shown by the records The
present methods of evangelizatiou have
proven insufficient to meet the needs Of
the case, and consequently additional and
extraordinary methods must be adopted for
the accomplishment of the work. Every
minister must realize the Imperative ne
cessity for his engaging in eyangeIistic SER
vice, and all Christian believers outside of
The regular ministry must realize that God
Is calling them to engage in personal evan
gellstic effort in cooperation with and I'm
support OF the work of the ministry All
TINS means nothing less than the eyangal-

on the authority Of the Word of God can
not fail to reach men with the saving grace
OF our Lord, Jesus Christ; and that is the
only kind of preaching that will efrectually
eyangelize mankind

prayer for Gods blessing upon and lead
ership of the entire campaign. Thus saith
the Lord God, / will yet for this be in
CURED of by the house of Israel to do for
them; / will Increase them with men like

blessings where they are invited by prayer
We are now living in the period when He
has promised to pour out His spirit upon
all flesh; let us make sure that We through
prayer, receive our portion of that great
blessing. And let us make equally sure
that our prayers are not wanting to in
