QUESTION OF EVANGELISM.

Honor to soul-saving! Show us the man who wins men to our Master, that
we may clasp his hand and look into his face. Right here hangs all the
discussion about evangelism. If the evangelist gets men soundly and
scripturally converted and sanctified, let us bid him Godspeed! If he
only amuses them and deals in paltry three-cent sensationalism, away
with more of the same sort of stuff which we already have in so many
pastors!

THE DIVINE RECIPE.

One thing is certain: God intends success and only success for His
people. If, as His children, we fail, it must be because we have not
followed the divine recipe for power and accomplishment. It was because
the one hundred and twenty obeyed Christ and tarried at Jerusalem that
God used the early Church to whip the Roman Empire.

"HOW TO SUCCEED"

"How to Succeed," used as the title for a book, will make any book
sell, though it be as dry as a patent-office report. People want to
know how to succeed in the world. How strange then that ministers and
churches who are brilliant and conspicuous failures should shun the
preaching of Pentecost--the one cure for failure and the sole guarantee
of success.

EMPTY COMFORT.

How many times some of us have sighed over our inefficiency! How
frequently, in default of apparent results, we have been forced to
console ourselves with the thought that we are "sowing seed" and that
there will be an abundant harvest at no distant date! Thank God! there
is success for us all. Pentecost will give it to us.

JOHN THE BAPTIST.

We do not mean by success financial opulence. A man may be a success
and yet as poor as John the Baptist lunching on dried locusts and
honey-comb. One may be as wealthy as Croesus and yet be an awful
failure. A church may be rich and increased with goods and incur the
Laodicean curse.

PADDED STATISTICS.

Neither does success mean a great and highly-trumpeted statistical
report to lug to conference. Some of our most inspiring "successes" are
all right on paper, but in reality they are stuffed and padded
scandalously. No, success in Christian work is to "turn many to
righteousness," save souls, and secure the sanctification of believers.
If we do not see such results following our labor, we have either
missed God's plan as to our selection of a field or we are not living
in the present enjoyment of the Pentecostal Baptism.
