Don o. Shelton. president of the National Bible

Gates the recognition of great need. It promises
TO supply to the Christian Church increased num-
bers OF efficient eyangehstic workers. That the
Christian Church needs a reinforcement of ag-
gresslve workers is apparent. Vast mulutudes-
forty millions in America alone-are classed as
non-church attendants To these II is the duty
OF the Church to take the Gospel. But how? Not
altogether by ordained ministers. They must be

the Church.
TO take the Gospel to the unreached masses is
the primary function of the Church But in many
places the responsibility IS ignored or shirked. A
widespread and stupid neglect Of splendid opportu-
mites for evangestic zeal is evident
The call comes to the devoted brany lavmen
of the Church. They can fit themselves to give
with power their personal testimony TO Christ In
open air meetings, in Gospel halls, in Young Mems
Christian Association meetings. in the services in
their own churches their direct burning message

pastors and Iaymen Of wide Christian experience
