The Gospels Influence.

But lastly. I remark that we should be careful about our gospel influence over our enemies as well as over our friends. We should strive to lead those to Christ who are attacking us as well as those who are living with us under the same roof. We should be careful about our in- fuence over those who hate US as well
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-09-15

as over those who love us. As a rule we deem our enemies the last people we are likely to have any influence over when in fact there are no classes of people we can more influence for God than those who dislike us and are misrepresenting us and are trying to destroy us.
 The story Is told that many years ago Dr. Newman Hall was sharply brought face to face with this truth. Newman Hall as all know. was one of the greatest preachers London ever pro- duced. He was the autho of that cele- brated tract called Come to Jesus,' which was printed by the million and catered broadcast over the English speaking world One day Newman Hall was most outrageously abused and mis- represented by one of his enemies. He was so indignant that he sat down and SyroteA the most eXcoriating of letters. He called his enemy almost everything in the criminal calendar. But before he sent this bitter letter he read it to one of his friends. What do you think of that letter." asked Dr. Hall. Fine, Fine!" answered his friend. "A man could not write a more crushing and oYerpowering letter than that But what are you going to call the letter? You must give il a caption" What do you mean?" asked Dr. Hall. What would you suggest?" oh" answered his friend. T would suggest you entitle that bitter letter, Go to the Devil by the author of Come to Jesus." Dr. Hall looked up in amazement. He he's itated moment; then he said: My friend, you are right. You have taught ma lesson"

"Uel1" vou answer. what is the good of my doing it? In the first place, am not wealthy. If l make public profess sion of Christianity and join the church, cannot afford to give much money, and the church does not want me un 1ase I am able to pay. Then l cannot attend church often. l am so bound down to the store and the home that when Sunday comes l am just too tired to % out Then l have not any spe- cial abilitv. I cannot sing or pray in nuhlic or teach a Bible class. It does not matter much whether I join the church or no. 1 might as well stay out as to go there and be perfect non- enitv." No my brother and sister. you know deen down in your heart you are not telling the truth. You know that inc most influential Christian men and women in your life have not been the sneakers nor the wealthy men. They were. not men and women of great so- cial nrominence but they were men and women who went to church because. they could not stay away. There their gospel faith beamed from their eyes and smiled from their lips and greeted. you in A warm handshake. Thou,< they did not know it at the time. tn q were leading you to Christ in spite Of yourselves Now, as these humble Christians of the past generation led you to Jesus by their public professions. can not you today lead others to Christ in the same way?

Speak for Christ.

Instead of sending that bitter letter, Newman Hall sat down and wrote a loving note to the enemy who had done him such wrong. Brother. can you not do the same to your enemies? You say, Ut would do no good" How do you know? You say that what your enemy needs is a club. No l think not | believe that what your enemy needs Is a message of Christian love from you. 1t may be only a random shot, but by the power of the Lord God Almighty that gospel arrow may strike his heart and bring him, a loving penitent, to Jesus Anyway. Is worth trying. You have shot arrows dipped in poison long enough Now try to crush your enc mics by winning them with gospel love. You can do it. By the power of the Holy Spirit l feel, l know, you can do it.
 I am overwhelmed as l think of the opportunities we all have for serving the Master. You may not think your words and deeds amount to much.
