V - ------------------ -----------------------------f POINTERS FOR PREACHERS * --------------------------- :------ j----|------ p Four Steps Towards Effective Soul Winning 1. Have a clear apprehension of the vital importance of winning men to Jesus Christ. A minister’s work is not deter mined by his pulpit eloquence but by ac tual efficiency in winning souls. 2. Make a complete surrender to Jesus Christ. In order to be efficient in winning others to Him, the preacher himself must first be absolutely won. 3. Let your evangelistic effort always be preceded by the spirit of prayer. Grief over the coldness of the church and the prevalence of sin in the world leads to definite, earnest prayer that is heard and answered by God. 4. Study the Bible m o r e—not more books about the Bible. Let a class be or ganized for Bible study and instruction in personal work. Then the Holy Spirit will find the preacher and his people ready to be used in the winning of souls for Jesus Christ. — Rev. E. Iverson. Eph. 2:8. John 4:9, 10. 2 Pet. 3 :15. Heb. 5:9. 1 Tim. 1 :15.

A few primary spiritual realities. B. Today vast creedal and ceremonial heritage. Do we know God better than they ? 3. A Life A. Close to the example and spirit of Christ then. B.
