WINNING OTEHRS, y
EVANCEL|ST'S TEXT

Mr.. owen, the evangelist at the First |
NJ. e. church. spoke last night on
Winning Others" His text was talk
en- from Psalms 51:13: Then will I
teach transgressors thy ways and sin
ners shall be converted unto there.
He said in part:
THE scriptures present three rea-
sons why men should seek God. First,
in order for their personal salvation.
1t is a mock unselfishness, that calls
upon a man to pass by the interests
of his own soul Second, in order that,
being saved himself, he may be used
for the winning of others. The law.
of the kingdom is that we shall know
the truth and witness to the truth.
A third reason is that we may be to
the praise of His glory who hath re-
deemed us. Our text suggests the sec
ond of these reasons; that of winning
others.
THE little word Then of the text
may be regarded as an index finger
pointing to obligation for seeking the
salvation of men; to a preparation
| for the most effective service and to
a condemnation if we are failing to do
what we can for the winning of men.
There is little need to argue the
matter of obligation. To bring men
to Jesus is the one work of the church
and the one mission of the Christian
It is sin in the life that hinders a
real earnestness for souls. Earnest
ness is convincing. Earnestness is
eloquent. There is a, work for US al
to do. The responsibility belong tc
you and me to teach and persuade
for there are transgressors in the way
and sinners to be converted.
There are four petitions in thi.
Psalm that have to do with our prep.
aration for the most effective service
They are these: Blot out my trans
gressions. Create in me a clean heart
Take not Thy holy spirit from me
Restore unto me the joy of thy saliva
: ton When transgressions are for
given, when uncleanness is takel
away, when the presence and powe
of the Spirit are known in the life
when there is in the heart contagio
of real, a full, an abiding joy, the
: shall men take notice that we hav
been with Jesus.

that is our condemnation

TEACHERS CALLED
IN To MAKE GOOD
BEFORE OFFICIALS

State educational authorities are
reported expressing some concern Tor
the outcome of the teachers examina-
lions that are scheduled for the first
Monday and Tuesday of December at
the various county seats when large
number of teachers now holding tenn
porary certificates win be called upon
TO make good
At the office of the state board OF
public instruction yesterday it was re-
ported that approximately 1000 teach
ers and principals are employed by
the state schools at this time. In the
absence of data concerning the pros
able number of teachers who will fail
TO pass in the coming examinations Of
fetal statements on the situation were
postponed until a later time.
When questioned about what would
be done in case necessity arose sud-
denly to fill a. large number of posi-
tons, Deputy superintendent Frank
| Kykes frankly admitted that such a
problem would have to be settled the
| best way possible as the old days when
every school board had a long waiting
! list of teachers are long since passed
The demand for teachers jobs Is
said to be practically nil, or even less
than that, and it is said also that many
applicants for kindergarten and pri-
mary grades have difficulty in bon
/ ing up on their algerbras as is required
in the best interests of tiny tots.
Some of the school jobs, according
to the record, pay fat salaries, thu
principal of school in Graham count,
receiving S95 a month. Offsettin;
that, the records have reports o
teachers in some instances receivin
salaries as high as $240O year, bu
those instances are not exactly gen
eral as the reports indicate.
