The Rev. Howard ". Pope Insists
that every Christian can b. n soul
winner. IL be viii. and gives ths
striking illustration:
II yom say that you don't hare OPP
portunities. Just stop and coun, them
for single day. and you wtll be sur
prised 20 see how many people yon
come in contact wIth 10 whom yoa
might say = word
A friend OF mine was giving .
Bible reading when . lady came up
20 her. and said: Mrs. Walker. I |
don't believe some things You said to-
day. You said every Christian could |
win souls 10 Chris. II he would. Look |
OF me. for instance. am q mother |
/ with several small children. ! have
! TO do my own work I couldn't be /
here today. only my mother has come
from the country. and 10 taking care
of the children. So you see htere Ii
one person who can, lead souls to
| Christ"
~ may be rather stupid" Mrs
a: Walker answered. but can't see IL
yet. Will you allow me to ask you a
few questions?"
Yes"
Does the milkman ever come TO
your house?"
Comes every morning"
lis he a Christian"
Well. I never thought OF It"
Does the grocer ever come to
your house,"
Yes, he comes every day-gener-
ally twice a day
"Is he q converted mani"
Really. don't know never
asked him"
Does the butcher ever come to
your house?"
Yes. he comes every morning"
us he a Christian"
By that time her face began to
color up, and she answered in a rough
way: "T don't know anything about
it." And away she went, leaving
. Mrs. Walker alone.
Two years after that a lady came
up to Mrs. Walker in another city.
and said: Mrs. Walker. do you re-
. member me?"
mo"
We'll, I have seen you" And
then she went on to recall this Incl
dent, and she said: Went home
pretty well disguised with you-and
with myself, too, if | confess the
: truth-and I lay awake that night,
thinking the matter over, and asking
myself whether 1t really was true
: that God wanted me to talk to those
people who were coming to my house
p every day. / didn't see how / could
do it. but I came to this conclusion,
: that IL the Lord wanted me to do 1t,
d He would show me the way; so
n made up my mind to begin with the
It milkman. I went down the next
O morning, and waited for him, and
e had a nice little speech all ready
l. Soon he came in and poured out his
q milk, and out he went, before I could
begin my speech. I couldn't FIND
b either end of it before he was out Of
8 the door, so I dropped the speech
8 and ran after him and called his
name. He came back.
