. . . the school with a challenge to Y O U N G M EN AND
npH is w a s a memorable incident. It -li- made Beatrice and Mary two unforgettable people. Beatrice re sponded to the invitation to Christ and knelt at the church altar. Others too, had come and counselors knelt beside them, but no one seemed to be interested in praying with this un kempt, unattractivé young woman. Without any personal direction or hesitation, a charming young wo man whom we shall call Mary, left her seat. I can still see her as she knelt beside the lonely penitent, and put her arm around her. She did this in a way that revealed that her reason for coming was to help this poor girl and to show her love for Christ and the girl. A school teacher was having a dis cipline problem in his classroom. He explained to another educator that he really loved children, was interested in teaching and wanted to be as help ful as possible. His educator friend asked him how he showed his love for his pupils. This was a difficult question. The teacher was unable to tell any specific ways in which he demonstrated his interest and affec tion for the children in the classroom. Just how would you demonstrate your love for children or for any one? You cannot do it by impatience or criticism. It requires something different. Sin always makes people unattrac tive. It mars and destroys the most pleasing thing in human personality. If we love sinners, we overlook these things. We see in them the true per son redeemed through the love of God. Can you think of anything more unlovely to God Himself than a poor lost sinner, solvenly and unkempt, steeped in sin, staggering down a street on skid row? God loved people like that enough to give His Son for them. We are His ambassadors, His representatives; we are coming to sin ners in Christ’s stead. How do we show our love to sin ners? Have we some personal inti mate ways of expressing it in tone of voice, in attitude, in deep personal in terest? That is What it means to show our love for the lost. That is what will make God’s love real to them. We are contacting and speaking to them in His stead. His way is the way of love.
