A Soul Winning Year A S WE stand at the beginning of another year and pastors are fl nlans to make this year the most successful in all their ministry, would it no be weU t o toem to begin to train their people for intelligent soul-wmmng work? Many pastors are organizing classes for the definite training, both■of the younger members of the church and those who are more mature “ ^ g!® °of a n t s f i 1ssss r g B S there^re scores ofpersonsTeady to go^owork w ltfth e ir Bibl™to lead individuals women ind^M ip eo^ le^h^w u ldb^^ a^ a^ an^m omm it^ trrundm t^ c^ ind ivkUm i d e X g with souls?

Daily Bible Readings H OW many readers of this note will be numbered among .^ose who will start to read the Bible through during 1913, and who will fall by the way Per haps lack of a definite system and of a worthy purpose will account for mo of the failures than any other causes.
