TEAMS FOR CHRIST [ Continued from Page 199] lowship, but also as Christians in the same factory, school, business office, or any other relationship in which men are thrown together, that, in the Lord’s name, they can witness 'and pray and bear fruit together. Thus are brought into being small, versatile, keen units, for Christian “active service” along specialized lines and with a definite goal in view. Whatever name we like to give then), these units bear every resemblance to what is known, wher ever men work together for common ends, as a team. How do we start a team? There is a sense in which no one’ can start a team, any more than one can conduct a revival. Revival is an act of God; and a team, if it is to be of any value, must be a creation of God. Experience shows that when the Christian, be comes burdened with the need of a particular community, or people in a similar work of life, he prays. In an swer to prayer, it is common for him to meet another person like-minded, and they pray together. Then they be gin to plan a program, waiting for the

The stories of mass murder of Jews by the Nazis com puted in the millions were first thought to be fantastic. Unmistakable proof shows that heartless cruelty has been understated. A CHRISTIAN CHALLENGE The,e Jewish persecutions may be in God’s providence our opportunity to win them to Christ and show that we really care. This Society is now sending aid to starving Jews in PpISnd, many of them children, ■rtiis is in addition to our ministry among the two and a half million Jews in New York City, including the care of Hebrew-Christian refugees. THE DIVINE IMPERATIVE "Go rather tb the lost sheep of the house of Israel" (Matt. 10:6) Is Christ's command with impressive meaning today.

The plaintive call of sheep without a shepherd; the heavy heads of fields white unto harvest, the unaccustomed teachability of men and women jolted out of their familiar rut into the midst of new people and habits and manners —think you who love Christ, o f the opportunity! What can be done to bring the magnetic message of the love of Christ to the people in your profession, the fellows in your service unit, the soldiers in your city? What about a team for Christ in your classroom, your o f f i c e , your plant, your ship, your home? THE TEAM CAN BEGIN WITH YOU.
Lord to open the door at. each stage, and so they are led forth to witness. A soldier in a barracks in the north of England first made- contact with another Christian soldier simply by carrying his Bible conspicuously. A Gospel Team in the barracks was the result. Many other teams, begun in much the same way, witness to the wonders God is doing in many a hard corner, in many a dark heart. Few of these Christians are in full-time ser vice for the Lord. Many of them are drawn from the ranks of Christian working people whose spiritual vigor is maintained in. regular fellowship with some local church, while in their' daily work they seek to win the lost. Considering the number of Chris tians in business and in war work to day, why are there so many places of business without an internal corporate testimony for Christ? God maker no mistake. When two or more Christians find themselves placed together by His unerring band among a group of lost souls, be it in a factory, plant or workshop, shipyard or office, hospital or ship, service unit or army camp.
