BIBLE STUDY CLASS
 HAS HELPFUL MEETING

The Bible study for men at the Y. NJ. c. A. last evening proved interest ing and helpful The topic was "Qual- ifications for Christian Work" and several passages of scripture brought out the following facts: That first of all, it is necessary to know that we ourselves are saved before we can at tempt to win others to Christ. It is al so necessary tohaye real love for others before we can go very far in helping them into the Christian life. Faith is an absolutely necessary quali- fication for Christian worker, and the man who would be successful in the work of God must believe in and practice prayer Boldness is an ele- ment that one must have, thata kind of bcdlness that makes 3 man cour- ageous in his efforts. At the same tine a man must be possessed of humili- ty and not to think of himself too highly. The final qualification and one of the most important is consistent life; without this all that man may attempt to do in the line of Christian work will be well nigh fruitless.
