aspirants for high offices. There
were delegates from all over the
continent
Mrs. Christine Smith was the
presiding officer, and many ideas
were advanced for the promotion
of this great cause. The opening
sermon by the Right Rev. Noah

was instructive, inspirational and
convincing. His subject, IA

teachers, was indeed interesting.

EVANGELISM:
LABORERS ARE FEW

Text: Behold, l say unto you,
lift up your eyes, and look on the
fields; for they are white already
to harvest. John 4:35.
Sermon by
THE REV. JUDSON SWANCY
2107 Il. James
The Samaritans came to see
and hear Christ for themselves.
That caused Christ to say that
the needs of the field were ur-
gent. God expects each one of us
to do personal work, to reach
some unsaved person, and to wit
ness for Him (Acts 1:S).
You will see in st. Luke $3.50,
81, 80. But their Scribes and
Pharisees murmured against His
disciples saying, Why do we eat
and drink with publicans and sin
ners? st. Luke 5:31. And Jesus
answering said unto them, They
that are whole need not physi-
clan; but they that are sick. st.
Luke 5:32: | came not to call
the righteous, but sinners to re-
pentance.
AS we are trying to do the
will of God, then we should be
willing to do the will of God,
Jesus said unto them. Matt 9:13.
But go We and learn what that
meaneth. l will have mercy, and
not sacrifice: For l am not come
to call the righteous, but sinners
to repentance. A Christian should
be able to go any place and try
to save soul. If he has been
born again and repented of his
sins this is the duty of child
of God.
