1112 THE K I N G ’ S BUS I NESS call tells us that hundreds of such meetings were held last year all over the country, and pleads for yet other hundreds for this year to pray for the outpouring of God’s Holy Spirit upon the evangelists and evangelistic meetings and for the bringing to the feet of our Lord Jesus Christ a great multitude of sinners who will accept Him as Saviour and confess Him to he Lord to the glory of God the Father. Take the matter to heart, and arrange for such a meeting in your church or home, and enter into fellowship with thousands of fellow saints in definite prayer for the salvation of the lost. The headquarters of the Great Commission Prayer League are at 808- North LaSalle Street, Chicago. T. C. H. M AK E TH EM Produce the Proof You can silence some of these critics who prate about the Bible and what it does not mean, by challenging them to prove their position from the Bible itself. We preached one noonday to a thousand people in a city park, and were led to say “ If any man tells you that the Bible is not the Word of God, make him prove it. Don’t waste any time arguing with him.” At the close of the service, on the way to the Gospel meeting which fol lowed, a man linked arms with us and said, “ You took a new angle in your remarks today. I have been putting men up against the wall and compelling them to prove that the Bible is true. You have turned the tables on me.” We said, “ Well, can you prove that the Bible is not true?” He replied, “ No, I cannot.” He was an attorney and at the meeting con fessed Christ. If a preacher says Jesus was not born of a Virgin, make him prove it. If he says Jesus was not raised from the dead, compel him to prove it. If he says God is too good to punish sinners, make him produce the proof. If he says there is no future state, tell him you are waiting for the proof. If he says there is no hell, hold him to the proof.. If he denies that the big fish swallowed Jonah, tell him you will give him a week in which to proye it. -You have the Bible with its “ Thus saith the Lord,” and you will find that most of these people know as little about the Bible as. the little girl whose pastor asked her if she attended Sunday School, and she answered, “ Oh, yes, sir.” “ Do you know your Bible?” “ Oh, yes, sir.” “ Could you tell me something that is in i t ? “ Yes, sir, I can tell you everything that is in it. Sister’s beau’s picture is in it, and mamma’s recipe for vanishing cream is in it, and a lock of my hair when I was a baby, and the ticket for papa’s watch is in it.” If you know your Bible you will not have great difficulty in routing any one of these big boasters. Don’t be afraid to tackle any of them or their followers for there is one thing that they do not know,—they do not know the Bible nor its Author. T. C. H.
