The words OF Isaiah the prophet Of

rlstian 10 be Gods man, or woman,
Gods place doing Gods work in
DDS way for Gods glory. When this
the ideal OF ones life they mus. sur
nder themselves entirely and unre-
erVedly to the will Of God. This is
what Isaiah did when he uttered the
words. Here am J. send me" and when
we are true followers Of the Lord
Jesus Christ this will be the express
sion Of our innermost soul, Here am
7 send me" This involves the giving
OF our entire self, spirit. soul and body.
and before spending ones self in such
a way he should know what h, is
about. Some que tions should be on
swered and we should be conscious Of
the fact that the right and best thing
was being done The facts Of a case

lieved - need fully realized; and a
solution or remedy for the problem
must be in readiness before any Of us
viii contribute OF our time, talents or
money to any cause Now that the Civ
ing Of our entire self Is at stake we
should fare some facts as they are,
consider the vastness Of the need AMI
decide as TO whether or not we are
needed TO apply the remedy.
Some facts which we should face are
the following: We are in an etarnal
universe where there is a real God and
a real Devil. a real Heaven and a real

mankind through His Son Je us Christ

redeemed and Is made by God for that
purpose Hell is a real place which will
last through the ages and has no end,
Il is the eternal abode OF Satan and
his angels and was made for that pur-
pose Then too, we should remember
that every human being has a soul 9nd
that that soul mu Q spend an endless
eternity somewhere We must also face
the fact that all men are sinners and
because Of their sins are on the road to
destruction. Many Bible writers are an
authority for this but we Will only
quote Paul as he said, AS IL is writ
ten, There is none righteous, no, not
one and again he says, For all have
sinned and come short Of the glory Of
Cod We also know from Gods word
that man in himself Is hopeless and
helpless, he can do nothing TO save him
self and is by nature q sinful creature.
He is on the train which leads TO Hell
and the Devil Is working 10 keep him
there until tho terminus Is reached.
But, God SO loved the world that lie
gave His only begotten Son that who
soeyer believeth in Him should not
perish but have everlasting life. For
God sent not His Son into the world to
condemn the world but that the world
through Him might be saved He that
believeth IN Him is not condemned but
he that bolieyeth not is condemned al
ready because he hath not believed In
The name of the only begotten Son OF
God Jesus Christ came 10 earth, died

has done and is doing all He can to
save men from Hell and to land them
IN Heaven and II they will only sur
render TO Him and let Him land them
safe the Devil is the looser ami God
and man are victorious.
BY looking these facts in the face we
will certainly decide that the need is
great. A travelling man once said after
much investigation, "The world has
