Ulus. Isa. 6:8 (Note that God did not speak directly to Isaiah, but Isaiah was standing so close to God that he could hear), m . How we may recognize the still small voice of God. A. God speaks to US through His Word (2 Tim. 3:16). There is no need to seek advice from man when the issue has al ready been settled by God (1 Cor. 10:31; Col. 3:17). B. God speaks to us by the con victions of our higher judg ment. With a new mind “in Christ Jesus,’’ there are many things which common sense will set tle. Illus. Acts 5:29. C. God speaks to us by providen tial circumstances (but never in a revelation contrary to His Word). Ulus. Gen. 45:7, 8 . D. God speaks to us by Inward im pressions. Here is an opportunity to pre sent the truth of the indwelling Holy Spirit—the “Christ in you’’ life (Col. 1:27; Gal. 2:20). Then our decisic and choices are right because they are His, For the Leader 1. Choose hymns or chcruses of deep devotional nature on the subject at hand, such as: "When He Calls Me I Will Answer,” and “Where He Leads Me I Will Follow.” 2. Give oppor' jnity for testimonies as to unusual ways in which “the still small voice” has come to individuals. MARCH 17, 1940 INTRODUCE YOUR FRIENDS TO CHRIST J o h n 1 :35-46 For Those Who Have Topics I.- To “introduce our friends to Christ,” we must first “behold” Him for ourselves (v. 36). A. What we will see when we be hold Him. 1. Ourselves, in need of a Sa viour (Rom. 3:23; Isa. 53:6). Ulus. Isaiah (Note Isa. 6:1, 5). 2. Christ, sufficient for our need (John 1:29; 14:6; Acts 4:12; Heb. 7:25). B. If we are to be influential, a personal experience of salvation is essential. 1. When confronted with such ah experience, opposition is speechless. Ulus. Man born blind—John 9 (Note “I know” in v. 25). 2. Because of such an exper ience, the testimony becomes effective. Ulus. Woman of Samaria—John 4 (Note v. 39).

Devotion «makes us desire the companionship of those we love. B. Conscious of our lack of wis dom, we seek the Source of help (Jas. 1:5). . C. Abiding with Him makes a pro found impression ,pn us, hence on others. Ulus. Peter and John (Acts 4:13), Illus. 2 Cor. 3:18. As Mirror Lake, Yosemite, reflects beauty of Half Dome, so our lives when clear, clean, unruffled, and “in the proper location,” reflect His beauty. HI.

(Point out the importance of keeping self in background.)

Is Your Heart open for The Russians? T HERE is not a single nation In the whole world so neglected and forgotten by most of the North American Christians as the Russians are. Thousands of Rus sian Believers are passing through eco nomic hardships because of their faith. Millions of that great nation are sitting in spiritual darkness and only a small number of North American Christians are realising tbeir responsibility in helping the suffering Russian Believers and in giving out the Gospel to the unsaved ones. The Russian Christian Relief Society under the leadership of the Holy Spirit was organized for this purpose; to ad minister material relief to the suffering Believers abroad and to Evangelize mil lions of Russians living in spiritual dark ness in Europe, Asia, United States and Canada. We are urging all God’s dear children to help us in this great work of the Lord* All communications and gifts sent to: Russian Christian Relief Society 690 Eighth Ave., Boom 506K New York, N Y. Bev.
