= viii lake my text said Mr.. Miller
3s 30 faced his audience. from the verse
if thc 9Th chapter OF John. AS the
rstrer has sent me- even so ! send You.
'rassa words were spoken to small
q-alD of men Anon years ago. Yet they
7aray equally AS much to everyone who
row calls himself a Christian and unless
one feels that he has actually been SENT
ly chris. into the world to do the same
.o-, of work he can hardly he called a
Christian
This Is ,r.a for the simple fact that
Christ IS with US now as then. because
He can send mon into the world I" rep
resent Him just as He sent those ii
smule lahorinc men long wears ago
Nor did Christ leave us in doubt as
10 how ~, would do the will OF GOO
IN our lives He. himself. did not
adopt any pronounced superficial meth
DDS so many people regard as essential
in religion. He spent three brief years
"f His III, in forming friendships WIN
small group of men whom He Knew he
,ould trust to tell other people about
ire Christ because of their own init
mate following with them
No matter how religious one may
he. formally, unless he is actually in
fIenrlng his roommate or his frat
mate or oAum in leading a Christian
life. his christianity is sham.
The Two Final Tests
fh.Ic are TWO final tests that can
applied IN amy man to discover
"feth' or rot he actually has this
Avins spirit of Christ in him. The first
s a consuming hate of sin. that makes

sorts itself The second test is his

Central Aim Of Work
