Personal Evangelism.
1t is the mind and purpose of God
that every Christian. women as well
as men, should be "a personal eNangel-
list" 1t was not necessary to bring to
Jerusalem a company of professional
eyangelists. preachers and singers in
! order that there might be a revival OF
religion. 1t is not an essential today.
If ONLY each Christian man and wom-
an, baptized of the Holy Spirit. will be
a faithful witness to those dearest to
them. we shall be at once In the
midst of such religious revival as we
have never beheld.-Rev. DIR. .. 4.
