mo wonder that for thirty years in
| surgeons church there were from
one to one hundred conversions al
every service. The secret of it was
that his eighty deacons were in the
basement crying out to God to save
he lost The minister who has not
saved soul in year is radically
5oul-sick. He had better hunt a rem
edy and get cured Immediately The
layman who has not a burden for his
fellcwman is not true worker in the
Kingdom of God. Jesus Christ died of
4 broken heart. So did Paul. Isn't
there enough in the perils of souls,
n the glory of the Christ-life, in the
regeneration of lost men and women
to cause us to stop and ponder over
he situation. More than two million
have already been killed in the pres
ent war How much did we care
whether they were Christians or not?
How much thought have we put on
IT."
DR.. Scarborough told an incident of
ranch-Owners child. The grand
father, grandmother, mother and ia
.her or the little child lived together
IN the prairie, forty miles from the
failroad. The grandfather had a
-anch of 100000 acres of land and 20
900 cattle. The little child was taken
sick. The doctor was called and pro-
nounced the illness diptheria The
serum was forty miles away and the
life of the child depended upon get
ing the serum there in two hours.
There was no railroad, no auto. The
father telephoned in and a man start
ed on horse with orders to ride as
East as the horse would travel Ten
miles from town there was anothe:
man waiting to get the toxin from the
first rider. In a swiftly moving car
riage the babe was brought to meet
the rider. Two horses were killed and
two men nearly gave their lives in
order to save the life of that little
child. when | saw the grandparents
and parents of that little child last,
asked them what they would give
for their child. We would give all
the land we possess and all the cat
tle,' answered they. Now, dear friends,
if we value the lives of our children
to that extent, how much more should
we value their souls We have got
to wake up. We have got to put a
new revaluation on human souls and
human lives
At the morning service today Mr..
Leavell continued his Sunday school
talks. He spoke on the personal ele-
ment in Sunday school teaching. He
said that the training of the Sunday
school teacher is just as important as
the training of men and women for
the other businesses of life. ITO show
you the tremendous strides made in
the training of teachers" said Mr..
Leavell, 81 will say that 10000 have
been given diplomas in the teachers
training course. Personal work will
raise the school form a mediocre one
to a great one. Without training. this
is not possible to any great extent.
We do not want crowds at Sunday
school as much as we want students
who are learning the Word of God.
We must learn the principles gov
erning attendance teaching and evan
gelism. We must go out after the
boys and girls with personal appeal
We must equip ourselves for leader
ship as teachers And most important
of all, we must put our effort on an
evangelistic basis. We must try to
bring the student to Christ by our
teaching. We must form a chain from
the home to Sunday school and make
both ends interested in the child's
welfare The two objectionable sins
against the young is that we tell them
they are not old enough to become
Christians and that they are not good
enough to tell right from wrong, they
are old enough to come to Jesus.
Goodness does not save them and if
they wait for that to save them they
will die in their sins. Let's wake up
and make this soulgetting business
wrought out through the instrumental
ity of the Sunday school"
DR.. Scarborough spoke on Soul win
ming, or Drawing the Gospel Net"
Taking the verse "He is wise that
minneth Souls" as the foundation of
his remarks, the preacher analysed
the ministerial vocation. "Soul-win-
ming is a study of the fine arts" he
said, "the art of winning souls"
emphasize the Importance of organ
izing the church so as to make it a
soul-saving medium. l charge that
