A ND there have been many others
n of Gods servants who have been
imbued by the same spirit, but the
question always rises in the heart of
the Christian, in your heart and my
heart, should that be the normal con-
dition and attitude of the Christian?
Ought 1 to feel as Paul did? Ought 1
to do as Paul did? Without nswer
ing the question directly, but that we
may answer it each for himself, let us
consider carefully just what Paul
meant when he declared that, know
ing the fear of the Lord, we per-
suade men" The term, fear of the
Lord" has a peculiar meaning here.
1t implies more than is ordinarily in
Guided in the words. The common YER
sion has the word terror" in place of
fear" Paul has just been speak
ing of the judgment, declaring that
I'VE must all be made manifest before
the judgment seat of Christ" and then
he goes on in the words of our text to
say: knowing therefore the (terror)
fear of the Lord, We persuade men,"
The word terror" enforces the
thought of the punishment which is to
be melted out to the unsaved sinner in
the last great day, when everyone will
be compelled to obey the Divine sum-
and appear before the judgment
seat of Christ. 1t is the consciousness
of God in His attitude towards sin,
and the punishment of sin. The trans
lation in the American revised version,
fear" means this and more. 1t i'm
plies an intimate and sympathetic re-
lationship with God. The Psalmist
declares that THE fear OF the Lord
is the beginning of wisdom" sug-
costing true enlightenment; and again
he says: THE fear of the Lord is
clean, enduring forever" implying
p~erpetuity. In Proverbs we read:
THE fear OF the Lore is to hate evil"-
Identification with Righteousness; and
that THE fear of the Lord is a foun-
tain of life" and again that "The fear
of the Lord is strong confidence"

THE fear of the Lord" then, I take

1.-THE fear OF the Lord" then, I take
l it, implies not only a realization
of sin and its conseqn ances, but a
definite consciousness of God, of what
He is in His perfect holiness. and of
what He is in His relationship to the
world. Knowing this, Paul declares:
w persuade men," He could do
nothing less. Because he knew" he
must, therefore, tell men of their dan
ger, and of the Christ Who could
save. Paul was a convinced preacher,
and hence he was a convincing preach
er. He knew, and ihe told what he
knew. The reason all Christians are
not p~ersuaders of men is because they
have not wildly before them the aw-
full reality of sin, the certainty of its
punishment, and the salvation there
is in Christ Jesus. The story is told
of a minister who once asked an emf
nent actor why people would flock to
a theater to hear fiction, while they
neglected church, where they could
hear the trtlh. Because we treat fiction
as though it were truth; you treat
truth as though it were fiction" was the
reply. And is not this indictment tru
and general in it's application? Are
not Christians, e many, many min
listers, too, treating Gods solemn and
eternal truth as though it were fiction?
Gods one declaration as to the condi-
ton of the world is that "alI have
sinned and come short of the glory OF
God" God says that 1.-The wages of
sin is DEATH" and that the soul that
sinneth it shall de-" yea, it goes still
farther in defining the condition of the
sinner, and declares that he is already
dead in trespasses and SINS"
w HAT would you him of a man
w who would stand on the bank of
Niagara river, a mile above the falls,
and watch a man row by n the aw-
full current and certain death, and
never arm him of his desperate peril,
or seek to turn him from his course
before it was too late? Suppose he
should talk to the man as he sped on
TO destruction of the handsome boat
he was riding in, of his splendid oars
m%anship, of the charms of nature all
about, of the common, secular in
terests of life, with never a word Of
the falls ahead and the awful death
that awaited him? When his man
gled, battered body was taken from
the waters after it had plunged over
the brink and had been sucked over
the rocks and through the furious
swirl of h whirlpool, you would point
your accusing finger of contempt and
condemnation at that man, and charge
him with the responsibility for the
poor mans death. And what think you
must be the judgment upon the Chris
tan who indifferently watches sinners
go or their way to destruction and
eternal death and never warns them
Of their danger? Is it not because the
Christian does not believe the truth
of what God says in reference to the
sinner, treating Gods truth as fiction,
or, believing it, he forgets it and lets
the things of time shut out the more
important things of eternity?
The Bolivar bulletin. (Bolivar, Tenn.) 1888-1946, 1904-06-10

THIS may be true of us now, but it
| need not be true of us, if we will
only know Gods truth and then act as if
we believed that it was true. We must
see souls and not men. We must
not become so e%ngrossed in time, that
we forget the eternity towards which
we are rushing. We must see as God
sees, and not with the natural vision
which only is conscious of e~Xternalities

and religious forms and activities for
salvation through the cleansing power
of Jesus blood. Paul saw sin written
On every man, oma and child with
whom he came in contact unless the
cleansing power of Jesus blood was
sprinkled there. Paul felt the infinite
love and mercy of Zoo reaching out after
the lost soul as he came in contact with
people. 1t was as though Christ were
standing at Paul's side as he went here
and there, waiting to receive those whom
Paul would introduce to Him. Nay, it was
not "as though" for He WAS standing
there. And He is standing at your side
and my side. He is listening to our n
yersation. He is waiting to be intro
duced to your friend. And if we know
the fear of God we must speak the SUI
preme message. 1t is you business to
know where friend and acquaintance
stands! It is your business to warn of
the awful peril which threatens the sin

GOD'S Word tells of the way Of
~ salvation. Of the Christ Who
came into the world to save sinners
Of the Christ Who knew no sin, but
Who became sin for us that lost
souls might become the righteousness
of God through Him. 1t tells us thai
there is salvation in none other than
in Jesus, and that He is able to save
unto the uttermost. 1t tells us that
God wants all men to come to a knowl-
edge of the truth and be saved. not
wishing that any soul should perish.
We believe hat man is a lost sinner,
and that Jesus is the only way OF
salvation, but we do not act as though
we believed any such thing. What
would you think of a man who had
escaped from a burning building by
the way of an iron bridge to the build
ing opposite, who would turn about
and calmly witness the peril, the suf-
fering and the death of the man who
did moi know of the way OF escape, but
was falling back helplessly into the
seething furnace of flames behind him?
What jury is there that would not find
such a nan guilty of criminal neglect,
if not m~anslaughter or murder? When
charged with his wicked and cruel in
difference and neglect, suppose the mar
should loo at you in blank surprise and
exclaim: why, l never thought of it;
l was safe, you know, and felt quite
comfortable and at ease" Such conduct
in reference to physical peril cannot be
conceived of, and yet is not this exactly
what multitudes of Christians are doing
every day? Before the judgment seat
of God how many of us who have escaped
the awful peril of soul death because we
have accepted Christ will hear some
friend, some loved one, some acquaint-
ance. some one we have met in business
or social life OF on the journey, say:
"You never told mel? Saved, but in
different to the salvation of othersi
Glad because we belong to Christ, but
careless whether others are brought to
Him or not! Surely, the fear of God
cannot be known and realized, or this
could not be true of so many, many

OLD Uncle John Vassar, OF sacred
~ memory, had the Paul spirit. No
soul ever came in contact with the
big-hearted, loving servant of Jesus
Christ, but that it was brought face to
face with it's need and made %acquaint-
ed with its Saviour. 1t was his
business telling people where they
stood in their relations to God, and he
never lost an opportunity to introduce
those with whom he came in contact
to his dearest Friend. The story is
told of him that upon n occasion a
friend of his who knew his failing"
as he called 1t, invited him to his
home to a dinner party. Fearful that
John Vassar might so far forget the
conventionalities of the social func-
ton as to speak on the theme which
was nearest his heart, he plucked up
courage to suggest to him that it
would be quite agreeable to him, and
doubtless to the other guests, if he
would direct his conversation upon
more general and interesting topics.
With a quizzical little smile, in
which fingered a bit of sadness, he
promised to do the best he could, well
knowing that his best was to speak his
Lords message in every place and
upon every occasion possible. He
CHANGED to be seated by the side of a
charming young m whose whole
thought seemed to be centered in the
delights and activities and pleasures
of this life. Anyone but John Vassar,
imbued with the spirit of Paul, would
have been disconnected and confused,
and turned from his purpose, but not
he. Bravely and tactfully he honored
his Lord in the conversation, and ere
the dinner was ended he not only had
found in the young woman a thought
full and convinced listener, but all
about there was a hushed eagerness to
hear John Vassar's message. His bust
ness was to persuade men" know
ing the fear of the Lord" he could do
no less than that.
