Must Have Confidence.

We can do very little effective per-
sonal work unless people have con
fdence in our religion. We should
therefore be very careful to live lives
positive for God and the right.
Then. If we should lead people to
Christ, we must study the Word of
God. We must be able to tell the
lost soul what Gods message is;
why we are seeking to rescue the
lost; and we should know suitable
texts to meet difficulties with. And
them the spirit of the divine mes
sage, as 1t comes to US in a careful
perusal, will fill US to impart the mes
sage of life to others. Personal work
in a revival means everything.
When the members of a congrega-
ton get the burden of souls upon
them, so that they will personally
urge and invite people to accept
Christ, then there is every chance
for a revival. God reaches people
through people, and personal work
makes a revival sure. In my own
experience | entered a revival a few
years ago in which my sister and |
we're the only young people that
were Christians. In the first of the
meeting we persuaded a cousin Of
ours to give himself to God. and
then we three formed a little band
for prayer. We prayed earnestly
for the salvation Of other young
people in the place. We entreated
them personally. outside the meet
ings and in them, and soon added
three or four more to our band. We
met each evening an hour before
service for prayer, and urged each
one Of the band to pray fervently.
and to feel glad and free to tell what
God was doing for him. By so doing
they were helping and encouraging
each other. and they we're soon all
doing personal work and bringing
their friends to Christ each evening;
and | can truly say none Of US had
ever spent a happier or more blessed
fortnight and 1t is needless to say
that we felt the revival was success
