A USEFUL TRACT When fishermen get together, there are usually two topics of conversation, one, th e size and quality of the fish they have caught, and th e other, the bait used. In our work of following the Master as fishers of men, we need* different kinds of bait, different aspects of tru th and personal messages to reach th e in dividual. The b ait th a t has been success ful in bringing ,th ree men to a definite decision was Mr. H orton’s little tract called “Come Unto Me,” a tra c t th a t is sweetly tend er and loving, in practically the words of scripture, and then w ith a space a t the end of th e tra c t in which th e names can be signed, showing definite acceptation of th e Lord Jesus Christ on th e term s mentioned. A fter a class, these th ree men, who had had th e ir h earts touched by the tru th , and who had no t yet come over the line, had these trac ts handed to them to read and pray over, w ith the resu lt th a t all were signed and th ree more souls added to th e Kingdom, to the glory of Our Lord. These tracts are splendid for giving out to Christians who are not used to doing personal work.
DR. FRENCH E . OLIVER Dr. Oliver, w ith his wife and daugh ter, sailed, recently for New Zealand, where he will conduct evangelistic serv ices for several months. We are sure th a t he will have a season of blessed service there, and commend him and his fam ily to our readers for th e ir prayers. A pastor, w riting from Minneapolis where Dr. Oliver held evangelistic meetings in October, gives the follow ing commendation concerning his work there: “I do no t th ink I have ever listened to 'an y o n e who is so clear in his pres entation of the tru th , nor so convincing in his argum ents. He certainly does strip the evolutionist of all his covering and leaves no ground for th e higher critics to stand on. He does not have any of the usual gymnastics which seem to belong to most of the modern evan gelists. If be should retu rn , he would have no trouble in getting a very large hearing. I hope th a t wie can arrange for a united effort on his retu rn from his to u r.”
HELL NOT SO FAR A sarcastic -young man, riding past an open-air meeting, scoffingly asked a Christian worker how far it was to Hell. The Christian replied, “P erhaps nearer th a n you th in k .” He tu rned a corner, his horse shied, and he fell to the ground dead (Gal. 6:7). WORK FOR THE $350.00 SCHOLARSHIP.
