 7J GAIN we present a list of Themes. Enough of them, if rightly 
 -^ used, to make one's soul like a watered garden. May the smile 
 of heaven be on them and on the people who use them. 
 
 The list begins with ''Jesus, the Saviour of Sinners," is held in the 
 centre by **The Blood of Christ," and closes with the Christian's 
 watchword, "Victory." 
 
 They begin by leading the sinner from the City of Destruction, and 
 end by setting his face like a flint toward Mount Zion. 
 
 Their aim and object is to make the Young People's Meetings and 
 evangelistic services so full of point and power that the attendance 
 shall be doubled, the interest trebled, and the results fourfold greater 
 than they have been. 
 
 They are sent forth with a prayerful God-speed, to visit and bless not 
 only the thousands who in summer visit Ocean Grove, but the hungry 
 and thirsty ones in home, hall, prayer circle, social meeting, and the 
 church. 
 
 May God bless each one into whose hands the little collection shall 
 fall, as greatly as he has blessed me in the compiling of the same. 
 
 Yours to win souls, 
 
 C. H. Yatman. 
 
 HOW TO USE THE THEMES: 
 
 Announce beforehand the number of the Theme for the meeting. 
 
 Let the leader and the audience read in concert the seven "suggest- 
 ive lines." The last two, printed in italics, are always in the form of a 
 question, and are to be the central idea of the service. 
 
 Let the "Gems of Thought" be read by some one person who can 
 explain them in a brief, pointed way. 
 
 The "Question" should always be asked by the leader and answered 
 by the full congregation. 
 
 Weave in the song sayings, hymns, and proverbs. 
 
 Get your scripture out of the chapter named. 
 
 Urge that all prayers and remarks be on the lines of the Theme, and 
 select hymns that bear directly on the subject.

 OF • SINN6RS. 
 
 I'm so glad He came to save me. 
 
 A sinner can find no Saviour but Jesus. 
 
 Saved with righteousness, peace and joy here. Heaven and glory 
 
 First Jesus becomes a Saviour, then a helper. [hereafter. 
 
 Not the righteous, but sinners, Jesus came to call. 
 
 Who of us can say, "-He saves me^^f 
 
 Who will say, ''^ I wish He would save me^^f 
 
 •^Qems of I'hought/t^- 
 
 A little girl fell into a cistern, and called 
 loudly for help, when her mother hastened 
 to her rescue. Telling how she was saved, 
 she said, " I reached up as far as I could, 
 and mother did the rest." So Christ saves 
 the sinner. 
 
 The saddest road to hell is that which 
 runs under the pulpit, past the Bible, and 
 through the midst of warnings and invita- 
 tions. — J^y/e. 
 
 "Sir," said an ungodly man, " I hope to 
 be saved at last." "It would be better. 
 
 friend, to be saved at first," was the reply. 
 Let us go down on our knees and seek the 
 blessing now. 
 
 When the Rev. John Newton in his old 
 age found memory failing him, he used to 
 say, "two things I won't forget: ist. I am a 
 great sinner; 2d, Jesus is a great Saviour." 
 
 Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget 
 The wormwood and the gall. 
 
 Go, spread your trophies at his feet, 
 And crown him Lord of all.

 QuESTiON — What must I do to be saved? — Actsxvi.31. 
 
 " Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and 
 thou shalt be saved," for Jesus said," Verily, 
 verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on 
 
 in Jesus and his atoning work for YOU as a 
 lost sinner. To be saved you must turn 
 from all sin, receive Jesus, and give your-

 Heaven has all the music, hell has none. In eternity a saved soul always sings, a lost 
 soul never sings. Oh, to hear the song of Moses and the Lamb. It's worth all life's bat- 
 tles to hear them sing just once in heaven. 
 
 JOY TO THE WOl\LD, 
 
 Joy to the world ! the Lord is come ; 
 
 Let earth receive her King; 
 Let every heart prepare him room, 
 
 And heaven and nature sing. 
 Joy to the world ! the Saviour reigns ; 
 
 Let men their songs employ ; [plains. 
 While fields and floods, rocks, hills and 
 
 Repeat the sounding joy. 
 
 No more let sin and sorrow grow, 
 
 Nor thorns infest the ground ; 
 He comes to make his blessings flow 
 
 Far as the curse is found. 
 He rules the world with truth and grace, 
 
 And makes the nations prove 
 The glories of his righteousness, 
 
 And wonders of his love.

 ^^Qems of T'houglit/i^^ 
 
 A frightened lark was once pursued by a 
 hawk. Round and round in narrowing 
 cycles the scared bird flew, till it seemed as 
 if its foe would soon plant its beak in its 
 breast. A friend of mine standing under 
 the birds, feeling a sympathetic interest in 
 the chase, opened the folds of his coat, and 
 by soothing tone and gesture wooed the 
 weak, frightened lark, till it sank panting to 
 his breast, safely sheltered from its ravenous 
 
 foe. Its natural timidity was overcome by 
 a greater fear, and thus its peril and its 
 powerlessness led it to come to a sure ref- 
 uge. The tempted believers will likewise 
 seek the everlasting arms, and say, " Let me 
 hide myself in thee!" 
 
 True Christian experience involves both 
 hope and fear. The more we fear his jus- 
 tice, the more we hasten to the shelter of his 
 mercy. — A Contrite Heart.

 The answer is. He whose transgression is I Lamb. Therefore are they before the

 These are they which came out of great 
 
 tribulation, and have washed their robes, 
 
 and made them white in the blood of the 
 
 throne of God, and serve him day and night 
 in his temple. — Rev. vii. 14, 15. 
 
 When Christ appears we who trust and 
 serve him shall be made like unto him.

 Even the beasts of the field like singing. I've seen the cows listen to open-air song. 
 Serpents like songs. The birds warble till the air rings. I wish I could get the folks to 
 take hold of the music with the same interest that a mocking-bird does.

 In thy pleasant pastures feed us, 
 
 For our use thy folds prepare :

 Thou hast bought us thine we are. 
 We are thine, do thou befriend us, 
 
 Be the guardian of our way ; 
 Keep thy flock, from sin defend us. 
 
 Seek us when we go astray : 
 Blessed Jesus, 
 
 Hear, oh, hear us, when we pray. 
 
 Thou hast promised to receive us. 
 
 Poor and sinful though we be; 
 Thou hast mercy to relieve us, 
 
 Grace to cleanse and power to free :

 We will early turn to thee. 
 Early let us seek thy favor. 
 
 Early let us do thy will ;

 Thou hast loved us, love us still.

 The Bible, God's printed invitation to the sinner. 
 
 I believe in the full inspiration of Scripture. 
 
 The Scriptures, our only rule for faith and practice. 
 
 The key-word of the whole Bible is "Come." 
 
 To love the Bible, prove its promises. 
 
 Who trusts the promise for salvation? 
 
 Who will take Isaiah xii. 2 a^ theirs ? 
 
 ^Qems of T'hought/*- 
 
 What the Scripture forbids, avoid ; what 
 it affirms, believe; what it commands, do; 
 what it reproves, amend. As many as walk 
 by this rule, peace on them, and on all the 
 Israel of God. — TTiomas Adams. 
 
 When we have Bible conversations, our 
 lives as rich as diamonds cast a sparkling 
 lustre in the Church of God, and are in 
 some sense parallel with the life of Christ, as 
 the transcript with the original, — Watson. 
 
 Don't think you can read the Word of 
 God without incurring responsibility — you 
 cannot; nor can you shirk responsibility by 
 not reading it. 
 
 To the complaint, "I make no progress in 
 
 the Christian life," Sarah Martin, the pris- 
 oner's friend, made answer, Take your Bible 
 on your knees, plow into it, and you will 
 not stand still. 
 
 The Bible must be the invention either of 
 good men or angels, bad men or devils, or 
 God. (i) It could not be \\\& first, for they 
 neither could nor would themselves invent a 
 book meantime lying in saying. "Thus 
 saith the Lord." (2) not the second, for 
 they would not make a book which com- 
 mands all duty, forbids all sin, and con- 
 demns their souls to hell to all eternity : 
 (3) therefore the Bible must be given by di- 
 vine inspiration. — Wesley.

Theme 4. 
 
 No Christian can live without prayer. 
 
 All prayer is based on the fatherhood of God. 
 
 There should be public prayer, private prayer, and family prayer. 
 
 The great prayer of Jesus is in John xvii. 
 
 The man who prays is the man of power. 
 
 Who have had answers to prayer f 
 
 Who will pray for salvation now ?

 Prayer is not conquering God's reluctance, 
 but taking hold of Gods willingness. —

 Never was faithful prayer lost at sea. No 
 merchant trades with such certainty as the 
 praying saint. Some prayers have a longer 
 voyage than others, but they return with a 
 richer lading at last. — Gurnall. 
 
 Human prayer falls below divine re- 
 sources. 
 
 The arrow of prayer that would hit the 
 mark must be drawn with full strength. 
 He that, in prayer for grace, ivill not be de- 
 nied, shall not be denied. — Switinock.

 and stayed the sun in its course; in a word,

 — St. Chrysostotn. 
 
 If tempted not to pray, pray the more. 
 If tempted to postpone prayer, pray at that 
 very time; most probably God has a bless-

Theme 5. 
 
 In all points like we are, Christ was tempted. 
 Thus he knows how to succor the tempted heart. 
 Christ Jesus was made perfect through suffering. 
 Whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth. 
 God will not let us be over tempted or tried. 
 Who has been delivered in temptation f 
 Wlw have found trials a blessing ?

 The hand must be steady. The arm 
 must be strong. The soul should be well 
 armed, so that it may be prepared for every 
 attack, or for every expedient of the enemy. 
 Life, honor, virtue, success, and immortality 
 are before us. 
 
 (In persecution.) Let us sing the forty- 
 sixth psalm in spite of the devil and all his

 For what ends, then, does God permit 
 spiritual heaviness to befall so many of his 
 children? The apostle gives a plain and 
 direct answer to this question. ( i Pet, vii. 7.) 
 
 The Lord gets his best soldiers out of the 
 Highlands of j\fifiiction. — Spurgeon. 
 
 One of the greatest evidences of God's 
 love to those that love him, is to send them 
 afflictions, with grace to bear them. — Wesley. 
 It was a storm that occasioned the discov- 
 ery of the gold mines in India. Hath not 
 a storm driven some to the discovery of the 
 richer mines of the love of God in Christ ?

 When the bright temptaion lies 
 Glittering in thy dazzled eyes;

 One day I was climbing a mountain in 
 the Alpine range near the boundary line be- 
 tween France and Switzerland. By and by 
 we came upon snow and icicles and all the 
 usual attendants in the train of winter; but 
 when we got higher we found delightful 
 flowers, blooming in all the beauty of floral 
 loveliness. I said to myself, How is this? 
 Down yonder are icicles and snow; up here 
 are these exquisite flowers. The secret of 
 the matter was that this part of the mount- 
 ain had a southern aspect, and faced the 
 sun, while the other was turned from it. 
 Even so it is with ourselves. When our 
 
 hearts are turned toward Him who is the 
 fountain of love and of marvelous spiritual 
 beauty, we bring forth the fruits and the 
 flowers of Christian character, and show the 
 world what a blessed and beautiful thing it 
 is to be a disciple of Christ. It is when our 
 affections and thoughts are turned from 
 Him that the graces which would otherwise 
 abound in us languish and die. — Dr.

 Be assured that sin is not a light thing, 
 either as you find it in yourself, or see it in 
 others. It is hateful to God; it is ruinous 
 to man. If not confessed to God. forsaken 
 in practice, and pardoned, it will shut the 
 soul out of heaven. But Christ is a Saviour. 
 He came into thp world to save us from the 
 guilt and power of all sin. Go to Him with 
 faith in His atoning sacrifice, and though 
 your sins have been great, and your ex- 
 ample only for evil, you shall find that He 
 is able to save even you. 
 
 If you think you can trust in Christ's 
 sacrifice for salvation, without obeying his 
 precepts as a rule of sanctification, you are 
 greatly mistaken : trust in Christ will lead 
 you to take the yoke of Christ.

 as our law ; and eternal life as our end.

 The gospel of salvation is the world's only- 
 hope. Ethical teaching can never reach to 
 the depth of the evil. I have no harsh word 
 to utter against any who are honestly trying 
 to do good to their fellow men; but when 
 you can dispense with sunlight, and make 
 your wheat fields flourish by the agency of 
 moonshine, then you may expect to break 
 the power of sin by mere ethical culture, — 
 Prof. Fisher, of Yale College. 
 
 The beauty of that holiness which is en- 
 shrined in the four brief biographies of the 
 Man of Nazareth has done more, and will 
 do more to regenerate the world and bring 
 
 in everlasting righteousness, than all the 
 other agencies put together. — Chalmers. 
 
 If we do not see the golden thread through 
 all the Bible marking out Christ, we read the 
 Scripture without the key. — Cecil. 
 
 Love strong as deatii, nay, stronger, 
 
 Love mighter than the grave ; 
 Broad as the earth, and longer 
 
 Than ocean's widest wave : 
 This is the love that sought us, 
 This is the love that bought us, 
 This is the love that brought us 
 
 To gladdest day from saddest night, 
 From deepest shame to glory bright.

 The first fruit of the Spirit is LOVE. 
 Where the Spirit is, there is joy and pe^ce. 
 Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit. 
 We all are to be rooted and grounded in love. 
 By our fruit bearing we are known.

 ^^Qems of I'hought.-gV- 
 
 Sour godliness is not the fruit of the love 
 of Christ. Sweetness, gentleness, and pity, 
 are the qualities with which he endows' his 
 disciples. It is imperfect virtue which is 
 sour, severe, and implacable. Perfect vir- 
 tue is meek, affable, and compassionate. It 
 thinks of nothing but doing good, "' of bear- 
 ing one another's burdens." There is no 
 acidity in pure Christ love. 
 
 Fruit might as well be e.xpected from a tree 
 without a root, as meekness and temperance 
 without the indwelling Spirit. Gal. v. 23. 
 
 Religion, in the very essence of it, is noth- 
 ing short of holy tempers. — IVcs/ey. 
 
 Pure religion and undefiled is " minister- 
 
 ing;" not the other thing, "being ministered 
 unto." It is handing over the morning 
 paper to another for first perusal. It is va- 
 cating a pleasant seat by the fire for one 
 who comes in chilled. It is giving the most 
 restful arm-chair or sofa-corner for one who 
 is weary. It is "moving up" in the pew to 
 let the new-comer sit down by the entrance. 
 It is rising from your place to darken the 
 blind when the sun's rays stream in too 
 brightly upon some face in the circle. It is 
 giving up your comfort and convenience 
 every time for the comfort and convenience 
 of another. This is at once true courtesy 
 and real Christianity. — J^ev. A. L. Stone.

 Israel's apostasy began when she made 
 affinity with the people of the land, and 
 confessed that she was not strong enough to 
 drive them out. The apostasy of the Church 
 begins at the same point. Whenever the

 becomes a respecter of persons, going after 
 one class to the neglect of another, and con-

 she is not equal to the task of evangelizing 
 the world, her power is gone, and she rpust

 A number of young men were walking 
 down Princes street, Edinburgh, one even-

 church clock suddenly struck ten. The 
 thought instantly occurred to one of them, 
 "This is the time when at home father is 
 taking down the Bible for family prayers." 
 He stopped short, and said, " I can't go 
 with you." They enquired why not, and 
 tried to laugh him mto going; but he 
 turned and went home, and there on his 
 knees he prayed and wept before God. It 
 
 was the sinner arrested, convicted, saved. 
 The voice of the clock was God's voice to 
 him ; he heard, and obeyed. But how 
 many there are who stop their ears to every 
 call, and rush on to eternal ruin ! Yet a lit-

 the apostle said: "This I pray, that your

 Ten thousand foes arise;

 To draw thee from the skies.

 ''They that turn many to righteousness shall shine as the stars."

 To win souls you must know God, the Scriptures, and men.

 He put a high value on the souls of men ; 
 for them he had an unmanageable passion, 
 often crying out, '"Oh, what a glorious thing! 
 how rich a prize for the expense of a man's 
 whole life, were it to be the instrument of 
 rescuing any one soul." — Li/g of Dr. Ham- 
 mond, by Dr. Fell. 
 
 A man arose in one of Moody's meetings 
 and gave his experience. " I have been for 
 five years on the Mount of Transfiguration." 
 " How many souls did you lead to Christ 
 last year?" was the sharp question that 
 came from Mr. Moody in an instant. " Well, 
 
 I don't know," was the astonished reply. 
 "Have you saved any?" persisted Mr. 
 Moody. " I don't know that I have," an- 
 swered the man. " Well, we dont want 
 that kind of mountain -top experience. 
 When a man gets so high that he can't 
 reach down and save |)oor sinners, there 
 is somethmg wrong."

 WALK IN THE LIGHT. 
 
 Walk in the light! so shalt thou know 
 
 That fellowship of love. 
 His Spirit only can bestow 
 
 Who reigns in light above. 
 Walk in the light! and thou shalt find 
 
 Thy heart made truly his, 
 Who'dwells in cloudless light enshrined, 
 
 In whom no darkness is. 
 
 Walk in the light! and thou shalt own 
 
 Thv darkness passed away, 
 Because that light hath on thee shone 
 
 In which is perfect day. 
 Walk in the light ! and e'en the tomb 
 
 No fearful shade shall wear; 
 Glory shall chase away its gloom. 
 
 For Christ hath conquered there.

 The Gospel of the Grace of God is no 
 org:inized theory for the reconstruction of 
 society ; it is no Utopian dream for the ele- 
 vation of the human race; it comes before 
 the world with no high-soundmg phrases or 
 elaborate schemes for the bettering of man's 
 earthly condition. It is no philanthropic, 
 humanitarian association for the elevation of 
 the masses. It deals with man as a ruined, 
 fallen, dead creature, and seeks to bring each 
 individual one by one under the energy and 
 power of the Holy Spirit. 
 
 It does not elevate, but it transforms; it 
 seeks not to repair, but to renew. It has 
 
 Redemption by Substitution as its funda- 
 mental groundwork, and this substitution is 
 the action and work of the Holy One, en- 
 tirely apart from man in every form and 
 shape. 
 
 Since God loved you (Johniii. i6) — since 
 Christ died for you (Rom. v. 8) — since the 
 blood that cleanseth from all sin has been 
 shed (i John i. 7) God offers now (2 Cor. vi. 
 2) a free, full, and eternal salvation from the 
 guilt and power of sin to whosoever will 
 (Rom. vi. 23; Heb. v. 9; Hcb. vii. 25; 
 Rev. xxii. 17).

 Look up! look up! Look to Jesus; at

 be forgotten of me. I have blotted out, as 
 a thick cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for 1 
 
 I have redeemed thee. — Isa. xliv. 21, 22. In 
 returning and rest shall ye be saved; in 
 quietness and in confidence shall be your

 TT'S a grand thing to really love to read and search the dear old Bible. I want to help 
 you to this experience. It is such a big book, we can only take it in bits (and that's the 
 way to feed, anyway). Now, if you are hungry at heart, just read the Bread Chapter; or, 
 if your feet are slipping, read the Rock Chapter ; or, do you find yourself getting a little 
 cross, read the Charity Chapter. Have you had lots of defeats with Satan, read the Vic- 
 tory Chapter. Have you no faith, then read Hebrews xi. 
 
 To tell a young convert or some inquiring soul to "read the Bible" is like sending a 
 patient into a drug store with the injunction to help himself. That won't do. Well put 
 prescriptions are needed. You will find some here, and others may be had by just a little 
 study. May they do you good.

 Training Cliss Lessons, 
 
 Lesson i. 
 
 • HOW TO STUDY THE BIBLE BY 
 CHARACTERS. 
 
 First— Know Jesus, everything points 
 to him from Genesis to Revelations. 
 Know him as Redeemer and Friend. 
 
 Second— Know all the Bible says a- 
 bout the Holy Spirit, then know him as 
 Comforter and Guide. 
 
 These two will lead to the knowledge 
 of God the Father and his attributes. 
 " He that hath seen Jesus hath seen the 
 Father." Now begin the following: 
 
 Moses — As starting points take He- 
 brews xi. 24 and 25, then following him 
 from Nile to Nebo When you spend a 
 month with him and his God your face 
 like his will shine. 
 
 Paul — Next acquaint yourself with 
 him. Put three "greats" to his name, 
 then begin. '" Great Sinner," " Great 
 Apostle," " Great Writer." Begin with 
 the "Saul of Tarsus" chapter, Acts ix., 
 then follow him till from Rome "he 
 climbs the marble stairs to the Palace of 
 the King." One hour a day for four 
 weeks on this name and 'twill take a ton 
 weight to keep you from leaping for joy. 
 
 John— This character will take you 
 from where he leaned his head on Jesus' 
 breast to the glories of Revelation where 
 the city of gold is seen from Patmos' 
 hills. To study John you begin with the 
 gospel by him, chapter xx., verse 31. 
 Keep in mind three things, love, believe, 
 and Jesus the Son of God. It is safe to 
 say that never pen wrote like his, never. 
 That matchless chapter is beyond com- 
 parison, — ^John xiv. 
 
 David— To study him you go from 
 sheep pastures through battle fields to 
 music halls and earthly thrones. David 
 takes you from depths of sin to summits 
 of glory where you behold in type the 
 Lord. 
 
 Epaphroditus — The man who nearly 
 killed himself working for Christ. 
 Philipi>ians, chapter ii. 
 
 Bartimeus — The man who got up a 
 mighty Praise meeting in Jericho, and 
 only a blind beggar. Liike xviii. 
 
 Daniel— The man of character, begin 
 
 with a study of his converts, his friends, 
 his purposes and his trials. Mark chap- 
 ter xi. 32 and xii. 3. 
 
 Elijah — The mighty prophet. 
 
 Mary — The one who anointed Christ. 
 
 Joshua — The soldier. 
 
 The women of the Bible. 
 
 The writers of the Bible. 
 
 The converts of the Bible. 
 
 The lost people of the Bible. Rich 
 man, Jezebel, etc. 
 
 The preachers of the Bible. Noah, 
 Jonah, etc. 
 
 The prophets of the Bible. Isaiah, 
 Malachi, etc. 
 
 The angels of the Bible. 
 
 The eight characters — Lost — Revela- 
 tions xxi. 8. 
 
 The four characters who first saw 
 Christ in Luke ii. 
 
 The converts of Paul in Acts. 
 
 The apostates and backsliders of the 
 Bible, etc., etc. 
 
 Lesson 2. 
 
 THE OFFICE AND WORK OF THE 
 HOLY SPIRIT. 
 
 The One Triune God— He the Third 
 Person. Speak, think, and teach of him 
 as a person and not "it" or an "in- 
 fluence," 
 
 Jesus and the Holy Spirit — Christ now 
 in heaven as advocate. The Spirit here. 
 
 He convinces the world of sin, right- 
 eousness and judgment. This we can- 
 not do. It is his work. 
 
 He is the author of the new birth, only 
 by which we can enter the kingdom of 
 heaven. 
 
 He is the Comforter — "Another" Tike 
 Jesus, knowing us and our surroundings, 
 both past, present, and future. He can 
 comfort us as no one else can. 
 
 He gives wisdom — i Corinthians xii. 8. 
 This needed for Christian work. "We 
 need more brains." Many have knowl- 
 edge but are not wise. Wisdom price- 
 less. Note what the Bible says about 
 wisdom. 
 
 He sheds abroad the love of God in 
 our hearts. This the only kind of love 
 that will "love your enemies" and be- 
 gets a desire for the salvation of the lost.

LESSON 3.] 
 
 CHRISTIAN WORKERS' 
 
 He guides into all truth— John xvi. 13. 
 Truth is God's instrument for salvation. 
 He wrote the Scriptures, hence can best 
 open them to us. What Jesus did for 
 the two disciples walking to Emmaus 
 and to the eleven just before his ascen- 
 sion, the Spirit will do for us. 
 
 He helps mightily in prayer — Romans 
 viii. 26. Unction and power in public or 
 'private prayer comes by the Holy Ghost. 
 
 He makes us "abound in hope" — Ro- 
 mans XV. 13. Not a little hope, but 
 boundless hope. Hope in our work. 
 Hope in death. 
 
 He gives great strength to the inner 
 man — Ephesians iii. 16. This is the 
 foundation of courage and perseverance. 
 
 He gives Liberty — 2 Corinthians iii. 17. 
 Tongues united and lips unsealed. 
 Thoughts flow freely and with power. 
 
 He gives assurance of salvation — Ro- 
 mans viii. 16. This needed to one joy- 
 ful in service. 
 
 He gives power to witness for Christ — 
 Acts i. 8. Not only at home but over the 
 whole world. 
 
 He reveals Christ in his fulness, ad- 
 ministers redemption, sanctifies the 
 heart, and dwells in our bodies. 
 
 NOTES TO BE REMEMBERED. 
 
 We should pray more for the Holy 
 Ghost. 
 
 He is given to us by God. 
 We should be filled with the Spirit. 
 We should honor the Holy Ghost, 
 Don't work till we get his power. 
 
 THE GREAT QUESTION. 
 
 " Have ye received the Holy Ghost 
 since ye believed?" 
 
 Lesson 3. 
 
 HOW TO MARK YOUR BIBLE. 
 
 Have one to mark, one of your own, 
 one with good print, marginal references, 
 well bound in silk, printed on rice paper 
 that will stand ink. One with a text 
 book bound in the back is the best. 
 
 Might as well use other people's hats 
 or shoes as to use other people's Bibles. 
 I'd sell my clothes any day to buy a good 
 one if 1 had none. 
 
 Mark the first page with your name 
 and your life text and then add your 
 year text as the years come and go. 
 
 Make a memoranda of your conver- 
 sion, and the dates of great spiritual 
 blessings. If some earnest prayer gets 
 a mighty answer, make a note of it, with 
 a reference to the promise which brought 
 the blessing. 
 
 Make the promises stand out by un- 
 derlining them with ink. When you 
 
 find a promise for gold mark that. 
 There are hundreds of Bible verses that 
 centre around Hag. ii. 8. I always go 
 to them when in need of money, and it 
 always comes. Take a promise like 
 Matt. vii. 7. and you should mark it so 
 you could find it almost in the dark, 
 Take the prayer verses, mark them ia 
 red. Know just where they are to bo 
 found. 
 
 Every great event in your life ought 
 to be marked in your Bible. That's the 
 place to put it; for God by his promises 
 and providences is working out your 
 eternal welfare, all for good if you will 
 let him. 
 
 Mark the books and the chapters, for 
 instance, at the beginning of Exodus 
 write " Book of Redemption ;" over Jere- 
 miah write "The Backsliders' Book;" 
 over James write "Work;" over the 
 eleventh chapter of Hebrews write 
 "Faith (Chapter ;" and Proverbs xxxiii. 
 "Wife's Chapter," and so on till each 
 chapter and book is well marked up. 
 When a preacher takes a text and gives 
 you some good thoughts mark by its 
 side date of sermon and preacher with 
 the seed thoughts, when you turn to that 
 it will all come back as fresh as when 
 delivered. Don't mark your Bible up 
 with poor sermons, and there are a 
 mighty lot of them that we preachers 
 give. 
 
 Take the promises for grace and mark 
 them. Why, 2 Cor. 1-8 is as powerful as 
 an army. One promise like that is bet- 
 ter to trust in than forty centurian bands. 
 
 You want the passages marktd that 
 will help you in dealing with inquiries 
 of every kind. Then, too, you want the 
 texts that will help you to help weak 
 and discouraged Christians. When 
 souls come into the light put their 
 names in your book, then when you see 
 them, pray for them. 
 
 Now and then a stanza of some hymn 
 will be so blessed to you that you will 
 want to copy it on the blank pages. 
 Have some blank pages put in with 
 rubber; when full )^ou can take it out. 
 Also have a place where you can make 
 a note of good illustrations. Lastly, 
 have your own plan; but have one. If 
 you don't make a note of the good 
 things they will go from you. Put your 
 own name alongside of the best prom- 
 ises; mine is written many times all 
 through my Bible; this makes them 
 more personal to me, and thus the Bible 
 becomes a very precious book. I'd not 
 take a thousand dollars rash for my 
 own Bible. It's piiceless.

 THE USE OF PROMISES. 
 
 God's word is God's will. 
 
 The meaninj? of 2 Pet. i. 4. 
 
 Thirty thousand promises that cover 
 every condition of life. 
 
 Some promises good only for twenty- 
 four hours, like Deut. xxxiii. 25. 
 
 Others good for time. Matt. vi. ^^. 
 
 Others good for time and eternity. 
 Rom. viii. 32. 
 
 Two classes of promises — for saint and 
 sinner. 
 
 Temporal promises. 
 
 Spiritual promises, i Tim. 4-8. 
 
 To love the Bible — prove the promises. 
 
 Trusting God's word is trusting God. 
 
 The conditions of fulfilment. 
 
 Meet the conditions — Obedience and 
 faith. 
 
 A five dollar bill is as good in the 
 hands of a beggar as in the hands of a 
 prince. 
 
 Now — all promises are for the "Who- 
 soever." 
 
 None to fail, Joshua xxiii. 14, and 
 1 Kings viii. 55 
 
 Time when fulfilled, not always at once. 
 
 EXAMPLES. 
 
 The Spirit's power— 800 years in an- 
 swering, as in Joel ii. 28, and Pentecost. 
 
 It took 4000 years to have Gen. iii. 15 
 fulfiled. 
 
 God not slack concerning his promises 
 as some men count slackness. 
 
 The promise in Joshua i. 5. 
 
 The promise in Ps. xxxii. 8 put me in 
 the ministry. 
 
 The promise in Ex. iv. 12 and its ful- 
 filment. 
 
 One thousand dollars on Phil, iv. 19. 
 
 Lesson 5. 
 
 WORK EVERY ONE CAN DO. 
 God doesn't want any idle or lazy 
 Christians either here or in heaven. 
 Every saved sinner can be a soul win- 
 ner, and ought to be. Men, women, 
 children, the sick and well, weak or 
 strong, can do a little. Don't talk 
 louder than you live. Hypocrites are 
 poor witnesses. The first person you 
 want to help is — yourself. The next 
 one to help is the nearest and most 
 needy. Keep in mind the two classes — 
 the saved and the lost. Help the lost 
 sinner first. Invite them to service; do 
 it by word or letter, or any good way. 
 Pray for them in private. The power of 
 prayer, illustrate. Speak of the meet- 
 ings ; attract them there by your i^raiscs. 
 Give a timely tract or a good clipping. 
 
 Work with your scissors and pen. Get 
 apt scripture passages and quote them. 
 Scatter them like wheat over the field. 
 Harvest is sure to follow. Introduce 
 the unsaved to some one who will better 
 tell them the way of salvation. If you 
 can't run the engine you can serve as 
 brakeman. Go with the inquirer to the 
 anxious seat, altar, or inquiry room. 
 Ask them to your home and talk and 
 pray with them there. Help make every 
 meeting you attend a good one. In 
 public services always be brief, both in 
 remarks and prayer. Watch for those 
 who in any way manifest a desire for 
 salvation, and lead them to Jesus or to 
 some one else who will. Live for Christ 
 in your home. This is the great need of 
 to-day. Wash dishes, mold beds, broil 
 steaks, sell calico or silk like a Christian. 
 Keep sweet, happy, and hopeful. Be a 
 walking sermon ; don't growl with your 
 looks. Work as follows: — wives at 
 home, mothers with children, friends 
 with friends. If you are sick show what 
 grace can do. If you are tried bear as 
 only a heaven -helped man can. If you 
 are in trouble let the world see in you 
 the peace of God and the comfort of the 
 Holy Ghost. Let employers pay as they 
 pray. Let em ployees give good service 
 and work like Christians. Let love to 
 God and man flow out in every act and 
 word. Lead the children to Christ. 
 This all can do. Keep away from 
 doubtful things and thus help your 
 weak brother. Ask God to direct you 
 to work, and he will do it inside of 
 torty-eight hours. Don't quit work till 
 the breath quits the body. Then begin 
 service on the other side— in heaven. 
 
 FOUR GREAT PROMISES. 
 
 Ex. iv. 12; Is. xli. 10; Josh. i. 5-9, and 
 2 Chron. xv. 7. 
 
 Lesson 6. 
 
 HOW TO STUDY THE BIBLE BY 
 TOPICS. 
 
 Just study Salvation, That's the first 
 thing a man wants to know about. Who 
 gives it? To whom it is given. How it 
 is gotten. What it is when we get it. 
 What it does for a sinner. A study of 
 David's life will give it; also that of 
 Peter. Begin with Is. xii. 3, and end 
 with Judges xxiv. See what it saves 
 from and what it saves to Look at the 
 things that represent it, like rock, tower, 
 helmet, lamp, etc. Close by taking a 
 heavy portion for vour heavy heart. 
 
 Then look up all the Bible says abotit 
 Praise. This will set the dumb man 
 singing. Samuel and Psalms are food 
 
 83 
 
Lesson 7.] 
 
 CHRISTIAN WORKERS' 
 
 books for this. Follow this with the 
 study of The Blood. Begin with the 
 Passover and end with Calvary. Get 
 God's estimate of it. Then apply it to 
 your sin-burdened heart. John xix. 34, 
 and Eph. i. 7. 
 
 Little things. — Go through the 
 B )ok and find all the little things that 
 God speaks about, and how he used 
 them. As, for instance, the rod in .Mo- 
 ses' hand, a cup of cold water, the nap- 
 kin in Christ's grave, etc. Then take 
 the WEAK THINGS, and see what mighty 
 works have been wrought by them. Be- 
 gin with I Cor. i. 27-30, and look both 
 back and forward. 
 
 The DOCTRINES. — Take the seven 
 great doctrines of the Bible — God, man, 
 sin, redemption, justification, regenera- 
 tion, and sanctification. Give these all 
 a full and complete research, and you 
 will come out a regular theologian and 
 strong Christian. 
 
 The way to study the Bible by topics 
 is to study it so. Take any one great 
 theme and study it. I like the follow- 
 ing: Love, joy, grace, light, prayer, obe- 
 dience, faith, power. Holy Spirit, truth, 
 wisdom, able, punishment, heaven, re- 
 ward, mercy, humility, angels, and a 
 hundred more. 
 
 Take a great topic like Assurance, 
 and search what the Book teaches on 
 that subject, find the "We knows" of 
 Romans and i John. See who in the 
 Bible knew they had passed frem death 
 unto life. Yet what is written on it from 
 Genesis all the way down. Don't close 
 the study till in prayer both the Bible 
 and the Spirit witness to the fact that 
 you are " born again from above." 
 
 Lesson 7. 
 
 THE WORKER AND HIS GOD. 
 
 We must never forget the following 
 all important truths. They are the rock 
 upon which we build our hopes. They 
 underlie all other themes. They are the 
 pillars of our temple. 
 
 First, we are co-laborers with God. 
 Second, his omnipotent power is ours 
 for service. Third, we do the work, he 
 gives the increase. Fourth, God is our 
 Father, Jesus is our Advocate, and the 
 Holy Spirit is always with us. Fifth, 
 with God we can never fail. Sixth, his 
 Word stands for himself Seventh, the 
 final result — the world for Christ. God 
 and man co-laborers. — Matt. xi. 28-30, 
 Christ's yoke; Acts xv. 4, all things that 
 God had done with them ; i Cor. iii. 9, 
 laborers together with God. The dream- 
 ers. The wishers. " Do much and say 
 
 little " family. " Do little and say much " 
 family. " Four pints to a quart." Om- 
 nipotent power — Acts i. 8, witnesses to 
 the world. Begin at home. As much 
 power will be given us as we can use. 
 The character of this power— Can save 
 by few or many, 1 Sam. xiv. 6. Is the 
 source of all strength, i Cliron. xxix. 12. 
 Ail things are possible. Matt. xix. 26. 
 " Shoes or no shoes— hallelujah !" Work 
 and increase: r Cor. iii. 6. All the in- 
 crease is of God. This will help to keep 
 us humble. None can say, " I did it." 
 hence boasting is in vain. Note — that if 
 we want any increase one must plant 
 and another water, or else God will not 
 give the increase. The Triune God : 
 "Our" Father makes Jesus our brother. 
 The fatherhood of God — we children. 
 Jesus our advocate in heaven. "Moody 
 and his brother George." Let him in. 
 The Holy Ghost, now here, adminis- 
 trator of redemption. His power our 
 power. His wisdom our wisdom. He 
 reveals Christ. He guides into all truth. 
 Makes our tongues "tongues of fire." 
 " Hump. back — black girl." No failures: 
 We are afraid of making mistakes and 
 failures. Mistakes keep us humble. No 
 man ever failed whom God sent. See 
 Moses in Egypt. Gideon and the Mid- 
 ianites. Feeding the hungry. Matt. xix. 
 15-21. God's word and himself: No Bi- 
 ble — no God. See Matt. iv. 4 and Deut. 
 viii. 3. The more Bible — the more God. 
 Study the Bible as often as you eat. 
 God is never absent from his Word. 
 The final result: Dan. ii. 44 and vii. 13, 
 14, "All people and nations shall serve 
 Christ," "of his kingdom there shall be 
 no end." Luke i. 33. 
 
 Lesson 8. 
 
 THE POWER OF FAITH AND PRAYER. 
 In these two the worker will find the 
 mightiest human forces. They are the 
 double steam engines of all Christian 
 workshops. Prevailing prayer, or the 
 prayer of faith, makes one in part om- 
 nipotent. James v 16. Faith is taking 
 God at his word and asking no ques- 
 tions. Faith always rests upon the im- 
 perishable Word of God. The more 
 simple faith is the more powerful it is. 
 .\11 things are possible to the man of 
 mighty faith and persistent prayer. 
 What faith and prayer have done is an 
 evidence of what they will do. Exam- 
 ples: Elijah shut up the heavens for 
 three years and a half. The walls of 
 Jericho fell down for Joshua. Daniel's 
 three friends delivered in the fire Mo- 
 ses and the Hebrews saved from Egypt.

 These from the Bible— We also get 
 help from each other's victories. For 
 your help in studying these two great 
 subjects let me append an outline. 
 
 Prayer.— Look up in the Bible (and 
 elsewhere) all about earnest prayer, per- 
 sistent prayer, prevailing prayer, im- 
 portunate prayer. The prayer of faith. 
 The prayers of the righteous. The 
 prayers of the wicked. The publican's 
 prayer. Our Lord's prayer. The Prayer 
 Chapter, John xvii. Prayers answered 
 and not answered in the Bible. How 
 prayer is to be offered. What to pray 
 for. Bible rules for praying by precept 
 and example. Repetition and ostenta- 
 tion in prayer. Keep in mind that 
 praver is based on the fatherhood of 
 God. 
 
 Faith— To study this find in the Bi- 
 ble its definition How it comes. Who 
 had it. What are its possibilities. Its 
 relation to God and his Word. What it 
 has done. What is promised by God 
 that it will do. Who can have it. Note 
 specially what faith receives. Search 
 every written word Christ said of it. 
 Faith, trust, and belief are blood rela- 
 tions. No Christian can either live or 
 work without faith and prayer. 
 
 Lesson 9. 
 
 HOW TO RAISE MONEY FOR 
 CHRISTIAN WORK. 
 
 Every one has as much right to pray 
 for gold as for grace. Two things at 
 least are needed to carry on Christian 
 work, grace and gold, and God will give 
 both if you ask him in the right way. 
 To get grace you go direct to God, and 
 it is given to us by Jesus Christ through 
 faith by the Holy Ghost. That's the 
 way to get grace. With gold it's differ- 
 ent. You go to God for it, and he gives 
 it by his providences and his people. 
 A great many people never pray for gold 
 in their Christian work. This is wrong. 
 Men think they own the purse and hold 
 its strings, but Hag. ii. 8 of the Bible 
 says not so. A spiritual church will 
 never lack for funds. Now, to raise 
 money for any needed work you 
 
 First. Find what the Bible says about 
 temporal blessings. Search out the 
 promises that bear that way. Mark the 
 words of the book that teach about giv- 
 ing, like Prov. xi. 24, 25, Ex. xxv. and 
 xx.w., 2 Cor. ix. 6, 7, Luke vi. 38, and 
 many more. See what stress God lays 
 
 on the provisions for carrying on his 
 work here. Paul's great Resurrection 
 Chapter is followed immediately by these 
 words, "Now concerning the collection." 
 
 Second. Give yourselves; don't ask 
 others to give 'till you have gone down 
 in your own pocket, and it is better to 
 put in your share before prayers. One 
 of the biggest collections in the Script- 
 ures is told of in i Chron. xxix. There 
 you get the order of giving. 
 
 Third Get people to have a con- 
 science on the matter. Touch a man's 
 conscience and you have his open purse. 
 People need education on this line. 
 
 Fourth. When you have asked God 
 for money, go to his people and get it. 
 Use tact in going, as follows: A — Ask 
 for and expect big things. B - Don't be 
 afraid ; you are on the King's business. 
 C — Have a good cause to present or 
 don't go. D— Size up your man. E — 
 Better see him when he has had a good 
 dinner. F — See him alone and when he 
 can give you a hearing. G — Don't think 
 that " no " always means a refusal. H — 
 State your case tersely and tenderly. 
 I — Don't use undue haste; a day may 
 double the amount. J — Don't get tired. 
 K — Don't get discouraged. 
 
 Fifth. Put great trust in Ps. Ixxxi. 10. 
 Write your needs alongside of promises, 
 as in Ps. xxxvii. 3-5. 
 
 Sixth. Don't lean'on the rich. Mites 
 can make millions, and poor people, as 
 a rule, are the best givers. 
 
 Seventh. Note the plans used by dif- 
 ferent men — George Muller, of Bristol, 
 England. Mr. Kimball, and others. 
 
 Eighth. Suggestions: Let preachers 
 beg less and preach the gospel of giving 
 more; don't scold, but reason and per- 
 suade folks who give little or nothing; 
 teach systematic giving, like "Thanks- 
 givings Ann;" doubt the conversion of 
 the church members who don't give; 
 don't touch blood -money or unholy 
 gains; see the evil of church fairs, festi- 
 vals, or the like for money-making; it 
 educates the young in the wrong way. 
 Note the difference between "wants" 
 and "needs" in Phil. iv. 19. 
 
 Lesson 10. 
 
 HOW TO DETERMINE ONE'S FIELD 
 OF WORK. 
 
 God leaves no Christian without some 
 definite work. Our work here deter- 
 mines our reward hereafter. In each 
 field faithfulness is required, not suc- 
 cess. Our work should be determined 
 by God's will and not our choice alone. 
 How his will may be known : 
 
 96 
 
Lesson n.] 
 
 CHRISTIAN WORKERS' 
 
 First — By his specific and direct call 
 of the Holy Spirit. 
 
 Second — By his call through the 
 Church. 
 
 Third — By his Word, which is his will. 
 
 Fourth — By his special providences. 
 
 Fifth — By his gift of talents. 
 
 Sixth — By his birthright of sex and 
 blood. 
 
 Seventh — By his gift to us of reason 
 and judgment. 
 
 All work of a Christian should be 
 Christian work. Ability often deter- 
 mines, — no blockheads for preachers or 
 teachers. Birth and blood often fixes 
 position. Hodcarriers and philosophers 
 both wanted. Faithfulness and fruit in 
 one place may bring promotion. A 
 wife's "call " is to love and help husband 
 and home. A mother's field is her chil- 
 dren and home. "To every one his 
 work " means 
 
 a — Some for preachers. 
 
 b — Others for missionary fields. 
 
 c — Some to make money. 
 
 d— Others to spend it. 
 
 e— Some to be masters. 
 
 f— Others to serve. 
 
 g — Some as teachers. 
 
 h — Others as scholars. 
 
 i — Some for the pulpit. 
 
 j — Many for the pew. 
 
 "Opportunity" is God's mighty voice 
 saying, " I want you." Take a view of 
 the whole world, see where you can fit in 
 — there work, win, and die. Be guided 
 by these three — the Holy Spirit, prom- 
 ises, and providences. God never wants 
 any one in two places at the same time. 
 Patient waiting is often one's work. 
 Time and prayer and providences make 
 the field we are to fill very plain. The 
 following may mislead us: i. Love of 
 money. 2. Desire for honor and praise. 
 3. Popularity. 4. Ease, pleasure, and 
 power. 5. Egotism. 6. Success of oth- 
 ers. 7. A lack of knowledge of self. 
 
 Suggestions : Finish the work in hand. 
 Do the things right about you. Some 
 are sowers and some are reapers. Read 
 1 Cor xii. Finally, get all the light you 
 can from every source; then you settle 
 your life-work with prayer and your 
 own heart. 
 
 Lesson 11. 
 
 HOW TO LOVE YOUR BIBLE. 
 
 First, know it. You can't love any- 
 thing you don't know. Like good peo- 
 ple, the better you know them the better 
 you love them. It is the voice of God 
 to his people, " Lost men, this way to 
 
 safety!" Boy lost in fog; his father's 
 voice, "Steer this way!" The whole 
 book was written for vou. Mark care- 
 fully 2 Tim. iii. 16. It is either the Bi- 
 ble or nothing, for God is only known in 
 love, mercy, and justice by revelation 
 either in his Word or Jesus, his Incarnate 
 Son or by his Spirit's presence. Simply 
 reading it will not give its sweetness any 
 more than looking at a man will reveal 
 his character. It must be searched and 
 studied to be loved. 
 
 Second, use it. We love the things 
 that serve us well. That which is of the 
 greatest service is of the greatest value. 
 The Bible is eyes to the blind, ears to the 
 deaf, sword to the soldier, water to the 
 thirsty, chart to the mariner, etc. It is 
 ever ready, ever faithful, ever powerful. 
 None can appeal to it in vain for truth. 
 
 Third, prove it. "A friend in need 
 is a friend indeed." The " Proven prom- 
 ises " of the Bible. Little faith people, 
 prove Mark xi. 23. Stingy people, prove 
 Luke vi. 38. Business men, prove Matt, 
 vi. 33. Sinful men, prove Isa. i. 18, 19. 
 Troubled people, prove Ps. xxxiv. 17. 
 Let judges prove Deut. i. 17. Let back- 
 sliders prove Deut. iv. 29-31. Hungry 
 and homeless, prove Deut. viii. 79. 
 Young people, prove Ps. Ixxxiv. 11. 
 Storm driven men, prove Isa. xxv. 4. 
 Mr. Great Desire, prove Isa. Ixiv. 4. 
 Poor and needy, prove Isa. xli. 17. Mrs. 
 Very Anxious, prove Ezek. xxxiv. 25. 
 Mr. Bad Heart, prove Ezek. xxxvi. 2^-28. 
 Mr. Many Wants, prove Mai. iii. 10. 
 If afraid of death prove i Cor. xv. 55-57. 
 Everybody prove Heb. vii. 25. Every 
 sinner prove i Pet. ii. 24. 
 
 Love the old Testament because of its 
 promises and telling of Jesus. Its the 
 only book that explains the grave and 
 immortality. Should the bride love the 
 letters of her absent bridegroom ? — 
 "Christ in heaven." Does one love the 
 will which bequeaths to them fortune 
 upon fortune. Shall the one who is pur- 
 sued by the avenger have no thought or 
 love or care for the sign posts that point 
 the way to the City of Refuge ? Shall we 
 not love the only writing that tells 
 where our jewels are hid. — "Baby in 
 Heaven." Shall we carefully guard the 
 medicine the Great Physician has left for 
 souls sick unto death with sin. — 2 Pet. i. 4. 
 Shall " Mother's Bible " have none of our 
 love? It is more to us than was the Ark 
 of the Covenant to the Israelites of old. 
 The Bible is all to us that the pillar of 
 cloud and fire was to the pilgrims to 
 Canaan.

 THINGS TO KNOW. 
 Your own mind and heart must fully 
 grasp the following facts, all of which are 
 clearlv taught in the Bible : — That outside 
 of Christ there is no salvation.— Acts. iv. 
 12. That all have sinned and come 
 short of the glory of God.— Isa. liii. 6. 
 That God commands men at all times 
 and everywhere to repent and turn unto 
 hiin —.Acts xvii. 30. That the Holy Ghost 
 convinces the world of sin.— John .xvi.S.g. 
 That To u.W is the day of salvation. — 
 Heb. iii. 15. That none ever come unto 
 Christ and are cast out. — John vi t,-j. That 
 none can enter the kingdom of heaven un- 
 less born again of the Holy Spirit by the 
 word of God.— John iii. 5 -8. That saving 
 laith is when the heart clings to the object 
 of its trust — Christ. — Isa. xii. 2. That 
 faith and not feeling is the condition of 
 salvation. — Eph.ii 8,9. That repentance 
 means turning from sin and making res- 
 titution when necessary. — Prov.-vxviii. 13. 
 That the bio id of Christ makes atonement 
 and not good works. — Lev. xvii 11 ; Eph. 
 i. 7. That he that believeth is not con- 
 demned, but he that believeth not is 
 condemned already.— John iii. 18. That 
 it is faith in Christ, not in a creed, that 
 saves. — .Acts. xvi. 31. That assurance of 
 salvation is by God's Word and his 
 Spirit and the fruit thereof. — ^John xx. 31 ; 
 Rom. viii. 16; Matt. vii. 20. That obedi- 
 ence and blessing always go together. — 
 Isa. i. 14. That the Bible is man's only 
 guide for rule and practice. — Joshua i. 
 8, 9. That we are hastening to the judg- 
 ment day when the redeemed shall pass 
 to their eternal reward, and the impeni- 
 tent to their eternal punishment. — Matt. 
 XXV. 46. That there is no escape from 
 death and no salvation in hell. — Rev. xx. 
 1*4.15. "That all who repent of their 
 sins and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ 
 receive the forgiveness of sin, which is 
 Justification. And that all who receive 
 the forgiveness of sin are immediately 
 made by the Spirit new creatures in 
 Christ Jesus, which is Regeneration. 
 That all who are thus born again are 
 called the children of (iod, which is A- 
 d'ption ; and all who are adopted may 
 have the witness of the Holy Spirit. 
 That all who truly and earnestly desire 
 and seek it may love God with all their 
 heart and soul and mind and strength, 
 and their neighbors as themselves, which 
 is Sanctification. 
 
 Lesson 13. 
 
 HOW TO LOCATE SCRIPTURE TEXTS. 
 The Bible is God's storehouse. It is h 
 
 big one ; has numberless rooms, all filled 
 with bins that are heaped to the full 
 with good seed. It is not all the same 
 kind, but it is all good. Where to find 
 what you want is the question When a 
 farmer wants to plant corn, he does not 
 go to the bin of wheat, nor to the barley 
 sack when he would sow rye. So with 
 the promises, if you want to reap joy 
 you get that kind of seed verses. If 
 you want grace you go to the Scriptures 
 that promise just that, like 2 Cor. ix. 8. 
 I find it very helpful to lay my finger 
 right on the verse that will cover the 
 need. A five dollar bill will stand one 
 in hand right well if he is hungry and 
 near a restaurant, but though he has it 
 yet can't lay his hands on it because it is 
 lost on his person or in his room, of what 
 value is it to him? Now thousands of 
 souls go hungry because these promises, 
 which are exchangable for bread, are lost, 
 — lost here in the Book. How shall we 
 find them? How locate them so that 
 when we are in need they can be used 
 at a moment's notice? I tell you. 
 friends, if you dont use the promises of 
 God you will never know their value. 
 You will never love the Bible. Gold as 
 gold, is worth but little, it is only when 
 it is exchanged for our necessities that 
 we get to see how good it is. So with 
 the Word of God. 
 
 Some say they can't locate these prom- 
 ises ; now that is not so, they can. Put 
 them in as salesmen and they will soon 
 find where the goods are kept in the 
 store. Just the way a clerk locates the 
 wares of a shop, so locate scripture 
 passages. Here comes a customer, he 
 wants "encouragement in christian 
 work." You take him over to the Psalm 
 room, first bin, third shelf, " And he 
 shall be like a tree planted by the rivers 
 of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in 
 his season, his leaf also shall not wither, 
 and whatsoever he doelh shall prosper." 
 Now you send him away with plenty of 
 goods like that and he will soon set up 
 business for himself. Take a good wife 
 and she knows just where every thing is 
 kept in the house. She doesn t go look- 
 ing for linen in the refrigerator or search- 
 ing for china in the clothes closet. Why, 
 bless your heart, she can find the shcef$ 
 and pillow cases in the dark/ Now, i^ 
 the same way a good Christian ought tc^ 
 know where to find the promises. Whn't 
 is the use of looking in ^Jeremiah, the 
 book of backslidihgs. for the promise, 
 ' Peace I leave with you, my peace I give 
 unto you — let not your heart be troubled, 
 neither let it be afraid." It is not there, 
 
 «7 
 
Lesson 14.] 
 
 CHRISTIAN WORKERS' 
 
 John xiv. 27 has that. Often I see Chris- 
 tians searching in the Old Testament for 
 Hebrews, or looking towards the end of 
 the Bible for Leviticus, — might as well 
 look for New York on the Pacific coast. 
 Have one Bible that you use and 
 mark, that will help a great deal. I feel 
 lost in work without this Bible I've used 
 for ten years; why, some promises I 
 could find in the dark, almost, — I know 
 just where they lay, (take Joshua i. 5, 8, 9,) 
 and they are as clear to me at midnight 
 as midday. Others I mark in blue and 
 red, that makes them stand out on the 
 page, so I know where to find them. 
 Another way is to locate the verses that 
 are alike, as in Isaiah. The eleventh 
 verses, that is, the eleventh verses of cer- 
 tain chapters, begin with chapter xxi. 
 then go to the fortieth and forty-first, 
 by the time you get to the forty-second 
 you too will shout. Then read the forty- 
 third, with the fifty-first, fifty-fifth and 
 fifty-eighth, and the chances are you 
 will rejoice like a Methodist. Take the 
 three 3-i6ths of the Bible, it is easy to 
 remember that, Malachi iii. 16, John iii. 
 16, Ephesians iii. 16, and you have what 
 every Christian ought to do, first, to speak 
 often, second, what to speak about, and 
 third, strength to speak. The great 
 trouble will be in wanting to do too much 
 at once. Build Rome in a day? it can't be 
 done. It is one at a time; you can't win 
 in this race with a spurt; slow and sure 
 is the only way of winning. Get in your 
 mind the great chapters of the Bible, 
 that will help you. Take that last cliap- 
 ter I just named which is the bottomless 
 chapter of the Bible, once get the twen- 
 tieth verse in your mind and it will 
 never leave you. The Holy Spirit has 
 brought that to me I suppose a thousand 
 times in prayer and work. Dig out the 
 l)romises in the eightii of Romans; who 
 that has proved and marked them can 
 ever forget verses 18, 28, 31 and 32. You 
 might as well try to blot out Jupiter from 
 the sky as to erase Psalm xxxii. 8 from 
 my memory. Glorious things of that 
 promise I could tell. When I want 
 money, I go to the money promises of 
 the Book, and never yet have I been 
 disappointed. Oh, you that must raise 
 funds for God's work, why dont you 
 pray more and prove the promises? You 
 would have both less of worry and work. 
 You will find that Christ knew where to 
 find the Scripture he wanted. That is 
 proven in Luke iv. 17. So did Peter on 
 the day of Pentecost. In fact every one 
 that God has used to any great degree, 
 )cnew his Word, knew it well. Oh, may 
 
 the Spirit of wisdom be given us as 
 promised in James i. 5, till hundreds, 
 yes, even thousands of the mighty prom- 
 ises of our God shall be known by us, 
 both in location, in mind, and better 
 than all, in "fulfilment."

 SCRIPTURE FOR CHRISTIAN 
 WORKERS. 
 
 Begin with the last half of Zech iv. 6. 
 There is but little power in you, but om- 
 nipotent power in God. Then take Isa. 
 Iviii. II. That will guide yo-u as well as 
 give strength. So as not to grow luke- 
 warm or cold, mark the " Duty or Blood " 
 verse in Ezek. xxxiii. 8. John xv. 16 as- 
 sures one of his position and work. With 
 this study Mark xvi. 15. which is the 
 Master's parting commission. When the 
 day of battle comes have ready i Cor. 
 XV. 57 and Zech. x. 5. For courage and 
 help be sure to read Isa. xli. 10. The 
 following verses need a month's medita- 
 tion, Deut. vi. 6, 7. In the same book, 
 chapter eight, mark verses 7 to 9. All 
 theology centres around Lev. xvii. 11. 
 The following "twentieth" chapters are 
 especially for you — Exodus, Deuter- 
 onomy, 2 Chronicles, Psalms, Jeremiah, 
 John, and Revelation. No worker should 
 miss the second chapter of Joel. 
 
 The following texts, often named, 
 should be marked in red: Ps. xxxii. 8 
 and Ixxxi. 10; Dan. xii. 3 and xi. 32; 
 2 Cor. ix. 8 with Jude xxiv. ; Joshua i. 5, 
 8, 9 with Jer. xxxii, 17; John xv. 7 with 
 Matt. vii. 7; Eph. iii. 20 with Isa. Ixiv. 4; 
 John v. 24 with Ps. xxxvii.3-5; Luke xix. 
 10 with Rev. xxii. 17; Rom. viii 28, 32, yj 
 with 2 Cor. V. i, and last and best of all, 
 Heb. ix. 14 with Rev. xxi. 7. 
 
 These but give an inkling of what God 
 has in his Word for you. There are 
 marked in my Bible fully two thousand 
 passages that at one time or another I 
 have profited by personally. 
 
 Prov. xiii. 22 lets in a stream of light 
 on the reason why so many bad men get 
 rich, and what shall become of their 
 money. I reckon it's a mighty good 
 thing to let them make the fortune and 
 we to spend it. — That's a new thought 
 to me, but as God says it's so I just take 
 him at his word. So you. young men, 
 that propose to lie, and cheat, and steal, 
 and plan with Satan to make shekels by 
 fair or foul, go on, wade in, push and 
 pull till widows cry and the poor grow 
 hungry because of the wages you pay, 
 but on the margin of your bank book 
 write, "the wealth of the sinner is laid 
 up for the just." We shall walk in with

 Lesson 15. 
 
 SCRIPTURE FOR INQUIRERS, 
 
 A /c-u> well chosen passages are much 
 better than many. For those who anx- 
 iously ask. 
 
 WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED? 
 
 John iii. 16, x. 9 with John iii. 36 and v. 
 2|. If others are needed, have ready 
 Eph. i. 7 ; Isa. liii. 6; Rom. x, 9, 10; John 
 i. 12, 29. 
 
 FOR THE BACKSLIDER. 
 
 And, alas, there are too many, but God 
 in his infinite mercy has gracious words 
 for them. Search the prophecy of Jere- 
 miah for the words to this class, espec- 
 ially mark chapter ii. 19 and iii. 13, 14; 
 also Hosea xiv. 4 with Isa. i. 16-18. 
 
 FOR THE "GOOD ENOUGHS." 
 
 For there are many who feel no need 
 of a Saviour, or say they feel no need. 
 These must be shown their lost condition 
 and sinfulness before God. The four- 
 teenth Psalm is most helpful, with the 
 following passages: Rom. iii. 10, 23; 
 I John i. 10; Isa. liii. 6. If you want 
 others, take Eccles. vii. 20; Ps. cxliii. 2. 
 
 FOR THE " can't HOLD OUTS." 
 
 Oh, how people stumble at this, just 
 as though Christ can save but cannot 
 keep. It is ours to hold on, not hold out. 
 Why will they climb mountains before 
 they reach them, or cross ditches before 
 they are even in sight? Is the God of 
 Daniel dead ? Has the " Mighty to 
 Save" and "Strong to Deliver" been 
 shorn of his strength? Nay, nay; he is 
 yet able to make Heb. vii. 25 true, and 
 the one hundred and twenty-first Psalm 
 a verity to mill.ons. Give them the fol- 
 lowing: Jude 24; John x. 28, 29; Rom. 
 viii. 38, 39; Deut. x.xxi. 6; and Isa. xli. 10, 
 xliii. I, 2. 
 
 FOR THE "not NOWS." 
 
 Sad indeed is it to see men and women 
 live on in open rebellion against God the 
 giver of every good and perfect gift ; 
 sadder yet to have them say, " Not now," 
 when in Christ's stead men beseech 
 them to become reconciled. Awful is the 
 thought that possibly he may say, "Thou 
 fool, this night thy soul shall be required 
 
 of thee." Read to them Prov. xxvii. i; 
 James iv. 13, 14 ; 2 Cor. vi. 2 ; Prov. xxix. i ; 
 Heb. iii. 13. 
 
 FOR THE "l can't GIVE UPS," 
 
 Which means they don'f want to give up. 
 For anybody, who wants to, can, with the 
 mighty grace of God ever ready to help. 
 Let them choose between the sin of earth 
 wilh attending woe in hell, and the cross 
 of Christ with the joys of heaven. There 
 is no habit so strong but what the will,^ 
 with the power of God, can overcome. 
 There is no sin so full of pleasure but 
 what is completely swallowed up in the 
 joy and peace of Christian service and 
 salvation. Joshua xxiv 15; Mark viii. 
 36, yj; Luke xiv. 24; Philip, iii. 7, 8. 
 
 FOR the "I WILL TRVS." 
 
 Try what? To trust God? Absurd! 
 Suppose you told your wife or mother or 
 friend you would try to trust them. How 
 ridiculous. The very words imply doubt 
 or unbelief, which is sin. Tell them to 
 change the " I w ill try " to " I will trust," 
 and have them read Isa. xxvi. 3, 4; John 
 X. 9; and Isa. Ixiii. i. 
 
 FOR THE " I'M AS GOOD AS OTHERS." 
 
 To be sure they are, may be better, 
 and yet both may be lost. Hypocrites 
 have no part with Christ. VVhy even 
 stumble at the inconsistencies of Christ- 
 ians? "Every one of us shall give an 
 account of himself to God." — Rom. xiv. 
 12. At the day of final reckoning it will 
 not serve any to plead his neighbor's 
 faults. He will stand or fall by the light 
 and living of his own life. Rom. ii. i ; 
 xiv. 3, 4; Matt. vii. 1-5. 
 
 FOR THE "I DON'T KNOW HOWS." 
 
 These words might come with truth 
 from Pagan lips, but surely not from 
 those who dwell beneath the shadow of 
 God's house, or in hearing of the church 
 bells. But tell them the simple story of 
 the cross, and slip in their hand the Gos- 
 pel by John, or turn with them to your 
 own Bible and let them read John i. 12. 29, 
 then Rev. xxii. 17, after which that match- 
 less promise in Ezek. xxxvi. 25 28. 
 
 FOR THE "I'VE TRIED BEFORF-S." 
 
 Tried and failed ! Whose fault was it 
 that they did not succeed? Surely not 
 God's, for he says, "Ye shall seek me 
 and find me, when ye shall search for 
 me with all your heart, and I will be 
 found of you.' — Jer. xxix. 13, 14. In 
 matters of time if we fail once we try 
 again. Shall we do less with those in- 
 terests that concern our welfare throngh- 
 out eternity? Give them Prov. iii. 5; 
 Deut. iv. 29 with Rom. iv. 5 and Eph. ii, 8.

 HOW TO DEAL WITH INQUIRERS. 
 Be perfectly natural and courteous in 
 your approach, and when talking with 
 them. Have your own Bible so marked 
 that you can find the passages given for 
 differejit classes; also try and be able to 
 quote them correctly, giving chapter and 
 verse. It is always best to deal .with in- 
 quirers alone. Before giving the word 
 of God ascertain the condition of mind, 
 that you may rightly divide the word of 
 truth unto them. Pray inwardly, and 
 depend wholly upon the Holy Spirit to 
 guide both worker and seeker; expect 
 and work for immediate results; show 
 that you are in dead earnest, but avoid 
 excitement. Explain all objections by 
 the Word of God, but do not enter into 
 argument, it only does harm. Avoid 
 giving your own experience, as this may 
 lead tliem to expect conversions in like 
 manner as yours, which is not likely to 
 be the case. If your work is in the re- 
 vival service or inquiry room, or at the 
 altar or anxious seat, so far as you can, 
 select persons of your own sex and age, 
 and talk with them. Offer Christ as the 
 immediate remedy for every shade of 
 want or doubt or sin. After having done 
 your best, and ther.i seems to be no 
 result, leave, prayerfully, the sinner and 
 the seed you have sown to God, the 
 Judge of all. It is good to have just a 
 word of prayer (very informal) before 
 your conversation, and always after. 
 When the sinner has found Christ, let 
 the fact be doubly assured to both rnind 
 and heart by Isa. xii. i, 2. You can 
 often lead a sinking heart into the king- 
 dom as they pray with you. Urge an 
 immediate confession of their conver- 
 sion, both at home and to the pastor or 
 church of which they will unite at the 
 next communion. Take the full name 
 and address, with their church affilia- 
 tions, and hand to the leader of the 
 meeting or pastor of the church. When 
 parting with them give a promise of 
 prayer, and then three passages from 
 the Word of God, which they should 
 find and mark in their Bible, and make 
 constant use of: i Cor. x. 13, 2 Cor. ix. 8, 
 Isa xii. 10. 
 
 Lesson 17. 
 
 HOW TO APPROACH THE UNSAVED 
 ABOUT SALVATION. 
 
 Keep in mind the three classes : 
 
 1. Those who want to be saved. 
 
 2. Those who are indiflferent. 
 
 3. Those who don't want to be saved. 
 
 To all of these three go earnestly, 
 wisely, naturally, and with the gospel of 
 Jesus Christ. Keep in mind that " love 
 never fails." Approach them frankly 
 and plainly. Show no spirit of " I am 
 above you." 
 
 To those who are anxious for salvation : 
 I. Go with the message of reconcilia- 
 tion. 2. Aj^proach them as one that can 
 help, 3 Have ready Gods word to 
 them. 4. Lead them away from self to 
 Christ. 5. If at all possible pray to- 
 gether. 6. Don't leave them till they are 
 saved. 7. Urge an immediate confession 
 of Christ, 
 
 To those who are in part or totally in- 
 different to the matter of their soul's 
 welfare: i. Go to them when they are 
 alone. 2. Select an opportune moment. 
 3. Especially approach them when seri- 
 ous. 4. Take no sideswith them against 
 God. 5. Show them their awful condi- 
 tion. 6. Plead with them; don't scold. 
 7 Present both the justice and mercy of 
 God. 
 
 To those who don't want to be saved or 
 have anything to do with God, religion, 
 the church, or prayer, go as follows: 
 I. Pray much before you approach them 
 at all. 2. Try and get them under gos- 
 pel influences. 3. Quote to them script- 
 ure upon scripture. 4. Remind them of 
 death and judgment. 5. Show the con- 
 ditions of saved and lost. 6, (Jet them 
 to take some first step. 7. Give them a 
 promise of help and prayer. 
 
 SUGGESTIONS : 
 
 If you are not the best person, get 
 -someone else to approach them. Pray 
 much that the Holy Spirit will convict of 
 sin. Don t let modesty or fear of giving 
 offence deter you from approaching those 
 whom God has given you to '"reprove, 
 rebuke, exhort with all long suffering 
 and doctrine " To keep your minds 
 and hearts alive to the work of seeking 
 to save men by the cross, think of the 
 brevity of life, the length of eternity, 
 the mighty happiness of the saved, and 
 the awful woe of the lost. 
 
 Lesson 18. 
 
 WHAT CONSECRATION AND SANCTI- 
 FICATION MEAN. 
 
 Consecration is our part; sanctification 
 is God's part, and both mean "The set- 
 ting apart for service." Sanctification is 
 the perfecting of the work wrought at 
 conversion, and is an act of God's free 
 grace by the Holy Spirit, making us love 
 God with all our heart, and ready for his 
 work. It is instantaneous, like conver- 
 sion. There is progressive sanctification,

 Christ made perfect throui^h suffering. 
 The many names given to it by sects and 
 individuals. Must be wrought on us to 
 be understood, like conversion. Justifi- 
 cation is not sanctification. Read and 
 study the following texts : i Thes. v. 23 ; 
 Rom XV. 16; I Cor. i.30; John xvii. 17, 19; 
 Col. i. 12, 21, 22; 2 Cor. iii. 5. The char 
 acter of consecrated or santified persons 
 may be found in the following two chap- 
 ters, Rom. xii. and 2 Cor. vi. This to be 
 prayed for and expected. Read what 
 John Wesley, C. G. Finney, and Alfred 
 Cookman have to say about it. Mr. 
 Moody says it is "' being filled with the 
 Spirit." Sanctification and service al- 
 ways go together. How shall our sanc- 
 tification be known? a — By an holy life. 
 b — By abundance of good works, c — By 
 communion with God. Sanctification 
 makes us more like Christ, giving us 
 these three: first, a perfect Saviour; 
 second, a perfect love; third, a perfect 
 obedience in desire; and one who is 
 sanctified will, like him, seek to save the 
 lost. 
 
 Consecration — Its meaning. The 
 giving ourselves fully to God to do his 
 will, whatever it may be. It includes: 
 I. The giving of our hearts. 2. The 
 giving of our minds. 3. The giving of 
 our bodies. 4. The giving of our pos- 
 sessions. — All a consecrated man has 
 belongs by the act of consecration to 
 God: he is steward. — Progressive con- 
 secration, what it is. — The Consecration 
 Chapter, Rom. xii. — The blessing of God 
 given at consecration. — The divine side 
 of consecration. — All doubtful things go 
 at consecration. — Consecration to God's 
 service is the fuller meaning of, a phy- 
 sician's consecration to his profession ; a 
 merchant's consecration to his business ; 
 a lawyer's consecration to his practice ; a 
 wife's consecration to her husband and 
 home. — Partly consecrated people, or de- 
 grees of consecration. — How the depth 
 of one's consecration may be deter-

 HINTS ON HOW TO LEAD A MEETING. 
 Come filled to the brim with your sub- 
 
 ject. Let , your words be on fire. Be 
 tremejidously in earnest. Be on time in 
 opening and closing. Be perfectly nat- 
 ural. See that the air, light, and seats 
 are in good condition. Keej) out of the 
 old ruts. Speak so all can hear. Don't 
 take others' time. Have something to 
 say as leader. Say it. Don't let per- 
 sons speak or pray too long. Don't sing 
 funeral hymns at a praise service. Have 
 plenty of scripture, and give its meaning. 
 Don't mind critics. Don't wear squeaky 
 shoes. Adapt yourself to circumstances. 
 Be guided by the Holy Spirit. Keep to 
 the theme, and make others do so. Al- 
 ways give the best you have. Put soul 
 power into the service. Never lose your 
 grip. Select both hymns and scripture 
 beforehand. Keep your voice right to 
 the size of the room. Sit out where the 
 people can see you. Don't let cranks 
 take part. Be master of the situation, 
 by the grace of God. Strike for results 
 when the iron is hot. Be wise in giving 
 the invitation to the unsaved. Keep in 
 mind the fifteen minutes after service. 
 Use your own Bible and get others to 
 use theirs. Don't let organist or pianist 
 give a concert, with preludes, interludes, 
 etc. Urge brevity and brightness. Help 
 the weak and timid ones to take part. 
 Have great variety in all services. Make 
 the stranger welcome. If your plans 
 don't work try others. Don't imagine 
 you are the meeting : you are only leader 
 under God. Pray much before you come, 
 while there, and after. Depend on God 
 for help more than on the people. Don't 
 be afraid — mistakes, wrong plans, etc. 
 God will make true Rom. viii. 28, Let 
 your face and manner be blessed to the 
 peoples good. Get in a devotional 
 spirit. Have both solemnity and joy- 
 ousness in the meetings. Have faith in 
 God. Have an aim and object in every 
 service you lead. Don't sing too slow or 
 too fast. Get the people's mind off you 
 and on Christ. Try and build up 
 Christians, and get sinners converted. 
 Services that don't honor God, and help 
 people to live better and brighter had 
 better never be held. All people are 
 not leaders. The way to learn how to 
 lead meetings is to lead them. Don't 
 try for what can't be had in the service.

 c — The difference between a whale and 
 a mackerel, 
 
 d — Some caught with hooks, others

 e — Use bait the fish like. 
 
 f— Cast the net on the " right side." 
 
 THE TWO INVITATIONS. 
 
 First, the personal— Given to the indi- 
 vidual. 
 
 Second, the general — Given to a com- 
 pany. 
 
 THE THREE CONSTRAINING ELEMENTS. 
 
 1. Love — "The goodness of God 
 should lead to repentance." 
 
 2. Fear — "Flee from the wrath to 
 come." 
 
 3. Duty — " Give me thy heart." 
 
 With these may be added : The im- 
 mortality of the soul. The unsatisfying 
 nature of worldly things. The satisfying 
 nature of Christian religion. The final 
 judgment day of all men. The evil or 
 good influence of a life. Personal re- 
 sponsibility to God. The call of con- 
 science. 
 
 Always remember that the final invi- 
 tation should be such as to reach both 
 the conscience and the will. 
 
 Keep in mind the three classes of sin- 
 ners : The careless, without desire for 
 salvation ; the awakened, conscious of 
 needing a Saviour; the convicted, calling 
 for a Saviour. 
 
 Get the spirit and words of Moses in 
 Deut. xx.x. 15 20. 
 
 In the majority of cases in the general 
 invitation, it is best to so give it as to 
 have the sinner take a bold stand on the 
 side of Christ. Tlie excepti<jns are 
 where the sinner will in a quiet way 
 take a first step, and thereby get confi- 
 dence both in himself and Christ for a 
 bolder stand. Make sure of all this in 
 all invitations, that the sinner under- 
 stands there is salvation in nothing, or 
 nowhere but in Christ. Everv invitation 
 must mean at the bottom, " The full sur- 
 render of all to God. The complete 
 giving of all we have and are to the ser- 
 vice of Christ, and trusting him." 
 
 SPECIAL KINDS OF INVIT.\TION. 
 
 Who will come to the altar or anxious 
 seat to seek Christ? Who will come to 
 the inquiry room? Will you come and 
 be one of the class to be instructed "how 
 to be saved?" Will you rise up in your 
 seat? While all Christians are standing 
 or bowed in prayer, get them to rise or 
 
 lift a hand for prayer; this is a first step. 
 Ask 3II who liave decided to become 
 Christians to rise and say, " I have," or 
 " I will." Have them repeat "Christ for 
 me." Make the seat an altar of prayer. 
 Get them first to rise for prayer, then to 
 come forward as seekers for salvation. 
 Get them to lift the hand or rise for 
 prayer or as seekers, tlien invite them to 
 an after service. Have them remain in 
 their seat, and some Christian worker 
 will talk with them. "Who will meet 
 with the others and hear the plan of sal- 
 vation ?" Who will sign an "I will" 
 card? Then get a book like "Good 
 news for you." Have all who want 
 Christ, or will seek him, to walk out of 
 their seat to the inquiry room. Give the 
 plans of salvation, and then get them to 
 say, " I will trust, ' " I will take," or " I 
 will choose." While heads are bowed 
 in prayer, get them to rise and say, " I 
 take Christ." Ask, " Who will receive 
 Jesus?" Give full plan of salvation, 
 then get Christians and all who will give 
 themselves to God to stand and sing 
 "My God is reconciled." Ask those 
 who have or will give themselves to God 
 to come forward and shake hands with 
 the leader or minister. Get the Christ- 
 ians and the sinners to the altar. Ask 
 all who will seriously listen to the truth 
 to stand. Get them to ask for prayer 
 by written request. Invite them to meet 
 you in your own room. Sing " Who will 
 go," and ask who will. Who will prom- 
 ise to meet me in heaven ? Who will 
 meet loved ones in heaven? Ask the 
 older Christians to stand, then "who will 
 take their keeping Saviour?" Who will 
 accept the King's invitation to be present 
 at the marriage supper of the Lamb? 
 Who will pray, "God be merciful to me 
 a sinner?" Who will call on the name 
 of the Lord? Who will meet the pastor 
 of the church ? Go from seat to seat 
 seeking sinners. While preaching, stop 
 and ur<;e ^n immediate giving of them- 
 selves to God Between the verses of 
 song or solo get them to decide. While 
 singing an invitation hymn, get them to 
 decide and come. Ask, " VVill you be a 
 Christian now?" and get them to decide 
 then and there. Let unsaved seekers 
 come forward and seek till they find 
 that light. Ask, "Who will give up all 
 sin and serve God?" Who will write 
 thrir names after " fear not" in Isa. xliii. i. 
 Who will receive and who will reject 
 Christ? Get those who have the most 
 influence with the individual to invite 
 them. Get them to come to the uncon- 
 verted people's meeting.

 ILLUSTRATIONS— HOW TO MAKE 
 AND USE THEM. 
 
 First note their power: A child will 
 always listen to a story. We never grow 
 beyond liking them. Crowds will hang 
 upon their narration. Jesus always used 
 them. Every successful preacher uses 
 them. This kind of truth is remembered 
 longest. See how the world uses this 
 power, in theatres — a tale acted out; 
 ! newspapers — "The cry for something 
 new in story;" platform — lectures illus- 
 trated, etc. A soul winner must be able 
 ti» illustrate truth : i. It will secure him 
 a hearing. 2. It will gain the attention. 
 3. It will enable him to reach the con- 
 science, the feelings and the will. Illus- 
 trations, like bread, can both be made or 
 bought. To duy them we must pay the 
 price of, first, close attentioji ; second, a 
 retentive mind; third, a quick discern- 
 ment ; fourth, a ready application. They 
 are to be had from sermons, addresses, 
 newspapers, magazines, books, conver- 
 sations, and every like source. "Use the 
 scissors." Pencil and paper are neces- 
 sary to their being stored up for use. 
 To mai^ them we must have the faculty 
 of construction. An eye that can detect 
 good material An ear that catches 
 meaning as well as sound. Ability to 
 read between the lines, and some knowl- 
 edge of cause and effect. There must 
 be a study of human nature and mental 
 philosophy, either with or without books, 
 or both. 
 
 BIBLE ILLUSTRATIONS. 
 
 These are the most powerful, because 
 of the most truth in them. Joseph in 
 prison — God's watch care. Daniel's 
 prayer meetings — illustrate prayer. 
 Saul going to Tarsus — religion at home. 
 Shunamite woman — good guests. Feed- 
 ing the five thousand — much in a little. 
 Lot's visit to his sons — warn the wicked. 
 Four men at one time — earnestness. 
 Valley of dry bones— what God can do. 
 The ten lepers — ungratefulness; and a 
 thousand more. Bible illustrations usu- 
 ally carry or make their own points. 
 Never let an illustration cover up the 
 truth, but make it clear. Illustrations 
 from your own experience are the best 
 for you, as a rule. Keep them fresh. 
 Clothe your illustrations in words that all 
 will understand — language of common 
 life. Leave out technical terms, and 
 never use Greek or Latin. Men don't 
 carry Webster's unabridged. Illustra- 
 tions may be either real or supposed, like 
 a parable, as is that of the Prodigal Son. 
 
 Use your imagination. An illustration is 
 simply a medium by which truth is con- 
 veyed to the mind. The barbed arrow 
 is the instrument of carrying the poison 
 to the enemy's heart. Be careful of too 
 much illustration ; it can be overdone. 
 My plan of getting and using them: 
 First, incidents in mv work ; second, in- 
 cidents in my past life; third, happen- 
 ings around me; fourth, keep everylliing 
 good I hear; fifth, make them in niy 
 walks and rides; si.xth, use them the 
 first chance I get; sevetith, keep all 
 that's good and no more; the rest throw

 THE WORKER AND HIMSELF. 
 
 Before going to war. count the cost. 
 Let every one who would toil in the 
 Master's vineyard carefully examine 
 himself or herself. When a lack is 
 found, supply it at once. 
 
 The following are some of the "musts" 
 of one who would work for Jesus : Have 
 salvation; and know it. Look away 
 from your weakness to God's strength. 
 Choose lines of work fitted for you. 
 Recognize the constant inward warfare. 
 Constantly labor with yourself. Have 
 an aim, and make it by the grace of God. 
 Have plans, and work them. Be your- 
 self—sanctified individuality is a mighty 
 power. God never uses fools for his 
 work. Be like men only as they are like 
 Christ. Blaze and burn with zeal for 
 souls. Take all discouragements to 
 God in prayer. Feed yourself before 
 giving to others. Study the Bible first 
 for your own heart. Don't be a preacher 
 when you ought to be a ploughman. 
 God will guide you if you will let him. 
 Many die from overwork in business, 
 but mighty few from overwork in relig- 
 ion. Be sure and have a fresh personal 
 experience. Keep your hands clean and 
 heart pure. Think much on John xv. 7 
 and Jer. xxxii. 17. Dress neatly and be 
 clean in every way. Don't use tobacco, 
 liquors, or over eat. Get plenty of sleep, 
 but don't forget Prov. xxiv. 33, 34. Think 
 while on your feet, and cultivate memory. 
 Learn by others' mistakes rather than 
 your own. Keep humble, or God won't 
 use you. Read good books, and keep 
 good company. Don't be so modest as 
 to miss your opportunity. Know your- 
 self and men about you. Let your 
 purposes be founded on the Rock. Don't 
 be idle, but take rest, and eat well. Live 
 ever ready for Christ's coming. Make a 
 covenant with your eyes and ears. Die 
 rather than sin. Be as much like Christ 
 as grace and God can make you.

 Lesson 23. 
 
 A CLEAR IDEA OF CONVERSION. 
 
 " I have been converted " means, in 
 full, a change of service from Satan to 
 God. and the heart regenerated by the 
 Word of God tlirough the power of the 
 Holy Spirit. John iii. 7, "Ye must be 
 born again " — " Ye are his whom ye 
 obey." At conversion there is : 
 
 Repentance— toward God. A change 
 of will. Giving up all sin. Making res- 
 titution. Leaving the world. It is our 
 ])art in conversion. It is the prodigal 
 coming to himself, and not only resolv- 
 ing, but .^oing to his Father. Luke xiii. 3; 
 Isa. Ix. 6, 7; Prov. xxxvii. 13. 
 
 Faith — saving faith is a personal trust 
 in Jesus Christ for salvation. It is believ- 
 ing he died for me. It is taking God at 
 his word and resting thereon for the for- 
 giveness of sins. Faith that by the blood 
 of Christ we have redemption. Faith 
 that God receives us in reconciliation. 
 It has knowledge, assent, and, greatest 
 of all, appropriating power or laying 
 hold. It is our part in conversion, as- 
 sisted by the free grace of God. Acts 
 xiii. 38, 39; viii.37; xvi. 30, 31; Isa. xii. 2. 
 
 Regeneration — a work wrought on 
 the heart by the Holy Ghost, whereby a 
 new nature is given us, which is the 
 germ or principle of divine life. It is 
 not the old nature fixed up. Being dead 
 in trespasses and sin, by regeneration we 
 get the gift of eternal life. It is God's 
 work in conversion. Sometimes the soul 
 is conscious of the moment when this is 
 done ; sometimes not. Regeneration 
 gives life. 
 
 Adoption — We are made Sons of God 
 by adoption the moment we are con- 
 verted, so that we belong to God as a 
 child belongs to its father. We are of 
 the household of faith. Christ is the 
 great Shepherd and we are one of his 
 flock. We are not our own, but belong 
 to God, who will keep both us and our 
 trust if we will let him. 
 
 Justification — At conversion we 
 stand justified before God. because hav- 
 ing faith in Christ and his atonement 
 for sin we have his righteousness im- 
 puted unto us. We drop our own right- 
 eousness as filthy rags and trust alone 
 in the merit of the Son of God, for Christ 
 is the end of the law for righteousness to 
 every one that believeth. We are'justi- 
 fied not by good works or deeds of the 
 law, but only by faith in him who alone 
 is righieous. Justification gives peace. 
 
 Confession — This is always a part of 
 conversion, and means the declaration 
 
 given by us to the world that we are fol- 
 lowers of Christ. Practically, it is both 
 by word of mouth and a godly walk, 
 life, and conversation. It should always 
 embody the taking of the sacrament, and 
 uniting with the visible church of Christ. 
 Rom. X. 8, 9; Ps. xcii. 13. 
 
 The evidences of conversion are of 
 three kinds : 
 
 First, the inner consciousness of it by 
 the Spirit of God, which is usually knowii 
 by the love of God shed abroad in our 
 heart. "The Spirit himself beareth wit- 
 ness with our spirit that wo are the chil- 
 dren of God."— Rom. viii. 16. There is 
 a consciousness of love for God, his peo- 
 ple, his service, and his holiness. 
 
 Second, the Word of God, which be- 
 comes life to us. and we have hope in it. 
 The promises become unto us the title 
 deeds of our everlasting inheritance. 
 I John v. 13; John v. 24. 
 
 Third, by the fruit bearing of our lives. 
 "Ye shall know them by their fruit." 
 We do good for Christ's sake. The mo- 
 tive is changed from that which we had 
 before conversion, wherein we did good 
 from various motives, but never for 
 Christ's sake and to glorify God. This 
 is the difference between the good works 
 of the righteous and the wicked, or the 
 saved and the unsaved. 
 
 At conversion the mind is changed 
 toward God ; we hate sin and love right- 
 eousness. " There is no peace, saith my 
 God. to the wicked." At conversion the 
 kingdom of God is put within us, vvhicli 
 is righteousness, peace, and joy in the 
 Holy Ghost. Reformation is not regen- 
 eration. At conversion the old nature is 
 not destroyed, but a new nature added, 
 and this struggle of the new nature with 
 the old nature is called the christian 
 warfare. It is the will fighting against 
 the sensibilities. A new convert is a 
 babe in Christ, and must grow in grace 
 and knowledge. Children may be so 
 taught that neither they or their parents 
 can tell when they were converted. It 
 ought to be so in all possible cases. 
 Temptations and trials are no proof we 
 are not converted ; it is rather a proof 
 of it. Having doubts, or falling into sin, 
 is no proof that we are not or never have 
 been converted. Notice the great con- 
 trasts in the conversions of the Bible. 
 Paul, Lydia, the jailor, the thief on the 
 cross, the woman at the well, the pub- 
 lican, and others. 
 
 FEELING. 
 
 There is a godly sorrow for sin, some- 
 times before, sometimes after conversion. 
 There is conviction of sin, more or less

 deep ; the deeper it is before conversion 
 the belter. Joy over conversion never 
 coniL's till we have completely submitted 
 and surrendered to God and received 
 Jesus as Saviour, Sometimes it does 
 not come then. Sooner or later it will 
 come. Never depend on feelings.

 Lesson 25, 
 
 INCENTIVES TO SOUL SAVING 
 WORK. 
 
 First. The command of our Lord. 
 Second. The reward for the service. 
 Third. The good that comes to those 
 saved. Fourth. The greater praise that 
 comes to God. Fifth. The blessing that 
 comes to society. Sixth. The joy in 
 three worlds. Seventh. The defeat of 
 Satan. 
 
 THE COMMAND. 
 
 This is explicit and direct. Mark xvi. 
 15; John XV. 16; 2 Cor. v. 12-20; Ezek. 
 xxxiii. 8. Have we been saved if we 
 deny the cup of salvation to others? 
 Can we be saved if we fail in this com- 
 mand ? See that awful warning in Ezek. 
 xxxiii. 12. To neglect to give the pa- 
 tient the medicine and he die thereby, 
 are we not responsible for the death? 
 Consider the result of a Levite who re- 
 fused to tell the serpent-bitten Israelites 
 that Moses had lifted the brazen remedy, 
 and he that would look should live. 
 Read John iii. 14, 15. Christ said, " If ye 
 love me keep my commandments." "If 
 I be lifted up I will draw all men unto 
 me." It's ours to lift him up that the 
 whole world may see him. See John 
 xvii. 20, 21. 
 
 THE REWARD. 
 
 James v. 20; here is the promise of a 
 double reward. Dan. xii. 3 gives the 
 eternal reward. John xii. 26 has a dei)lh 
 of meaning in it which only heaven can 
 reveal. Think of meeting those you 
 have led to Christ, in heaven, i. There 
 is no "oy like that of soul saving. 2. We 
 
 06 
 
Lesson 25.] CHRISTIAN WORKERS' TRAINING CLASS LESSONS. 
 
 grow mightily in grace thereby. 3. We 
 make friendships that are eternal. 4. It 
 brings gladness next to our own conver- 
 sion. 5. We gain the love and esteem 
 of the Church. 6. It helps to answer 
 prayer. 7. It sets all heaven singing for 
 joy. — Luke xv. 
 
 THE GOOD THAT COMES. 
 
 A soul saved from hell. A wicked life 
 changed to one of righteousness. The 
 fires of a burning conscienco put out, 
 and peace, like a river, put in. A soul 
 set free from the service of Satan. 
 Good influences let loose, bad influences 
 changed. A soul reconciled to God. 
 " Harmony once more." Hope restored, 
 manhood regained, life found. Con- 
 demnation gone; victory over death. 
 Companionship of Jesus The indwell- 
 ing God and power of the Holy Ghost. 
 Love the controlling motive, and not self 
 or selfishness. 
 
 THE GRE.\TER PRAISE OF GOD. 
 
 A soul saved will sing forever. God 
 will never hear the last of "saving a sin- 
 ner like me." Everlasting praise for 
 everlasting salvation. 
 
 BLESSING TO SOCIETY. 
 
 Hatred, malice, strife lessened, and 
 love, joy, and peace increased. There 
 is no Christianity without morality. 
 Convert the race and prisons close, two- 
 thirds of all asylums and hospitals will 
 not be needed. One judge will do for 
 every fifty we now have. War will be 
 known only in memory, and every sol- 
 dier can beat his gun into pruning 
 hooks and go to work. The cry of the 
 poor will be stopped with mouthfuls of 
 meat, and the destitute will sing for joy 
 of plenty. 
 
 JOY IN THREE WORLDS. 
 
 Heaven will rejoice. Earth will re- 
 joice. Some mother will weep tears of 
 joy over her boy saved at last. Wife 
 will have the glad knowledge that she 
 and her husband will not part forever 
 
 at the grave. Brother and sisters will 
 sing the same songs of salvation. Hell 
 will rejoice. Yes, strange as it may 
 seem, lost brothers, like the one in Luke 
 xvi. 27-30, will be glad to know that 
 others of the same household have es- 
 caped the torments of the wicked. 
 
 THE DEFEAT OF SATAN. 
 
 The enemy of Christ foiled at last. 
 Seeking whom he may devour, he has 
 lost his prey. Christ and the angels 
 victorious. Satan and the devils de- 
 feated. The glory of triumph in battle. 
 One more in heaven — one less in hell.

 1. O, think of a home over there, By the side of the river of light, 
 
 2. O, thiuk of the friends over there, Who before us the journey have trod, 
 
 3. My Saviour is now over there,There my kindred and friends are at rest; 
 
 4. I'll soon be at home over there. For the end of my journey I see; 
 
 Where the saints all immortal and fair. Are robed in their garments of white. 
 Of the songs that they breathe on the air, In their home in the palace of God. 
 Then away from my sorrow and care. Let me fly to the land of the blest. 
 Many dear to my heart, over there, Are watching and waiting for me.

 How he came from the bright realms of glory Glad news of salvation to bring. 
 Showing mercy and love as they lingered To hear his blest words unto them. 
 He rc-plied to them, "He that is sinless, B3' him let the first stone be cast." 
 See him bursting the tomb by his power. Saying," Laz'rus, come forth from the dead ! 
 And he i>romised a home where's no sighing, And loved ones shall ne'er again part.

 Nor the burdens hard to bear.

 Makes each burden light appear;

 Worldly honors all forsaking

 5 Oh, the Cross has wondrous glory! 
 
 Oft I've proved this to be true; 
 When I'm in the way so narrow 
 
 I can see a pathway through; 
 And how sweetly Jesus whispers: 
 
 Take the Cross, thou need'st not fear. 
 For I've tried this way before the^

 Have prayed for many-a year ; 
 
 Yet, still they wander far away, 
 O'er mountains dark and drear;

 Believing I shall find : 
 I listened, and a low refrain 
 Came to me on the wind ;

 Joy! joy! O blessed joy divine! 
 The lost one I have found.

 JUST AS I AM. 
 
 Tune and Chorus above. 
 
 I Just as I am, without one plea. 
 But that thy blood was shed for me. 
 And that thou bid'st me come to thee, 
 O Lamb of God, I come ! 
 
 a Just as I am, and waiting not 
 To rid my soul of one dark blot. 
 To thee whose blood can cleanse each 
 O Lamb of God, I come ! [spot, 
 
 3 Just as I am, though tossed about 
 With many a conflict, many a doubt, 
 Fightings within, and fears without, 
 O Lamb of God, I come ! 
 
 4 Just as I am — poor, wretched, blind; 
 Sight, riches, healing of the mind, 
 Yea, all I need, in thee to find, 
 
 O Lamb of God, I come ! 
 
 5 Just as I am— thou wilt receive. 
 
 Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve; 
 Because thy promise I believe, 
 O Lamb of God, I come ! 
 
 6 Just as I am— thy love unknown 
 Hath broken every barrier down. 
 Now, to be thine, yea, thine alone, 
 
 O Lamb of God, I come !

 Your many sins are all forgiven. 
 
 Oh, hear the voice of Jesus ; 
 Go on your way in peace to heaven, 
 
 And wear a crown with Jesus. 
 All glory to the dying Lamb ! 
 
 I now believe in Jesus; 
 I love the blessed Saviour's name, 
 
 I love the name of Jesus. 
 The children too, both great and small, 
 
 Who love the name of Jesus, 
 May now accept his gracious call 
 
 To work and live for Jesus. 
 
 Come, brethren, help me sing his praise. 
 
 Oh, praise the name of Jesus ; 
 Come, sisters, all your voices raise, 
 
 Oh, bless the name of Jesus. 
 His name dispels my guilt and fear. 
 
 No other name but Jesus ; 
 Oh, how my soul delights to hear 
 
 The precious name of Jesus. 
 And when to that bright world above. 
 
 We rise to see our Jesus, 
 We'll sing around the throne of love 
 
 His name, the name of Jesus. 
 
 MY SOUL, BE ON THY GUARD.— Laban, key D. 
 
 1 My soul, be on thy guard. 
 
 Ten thousand foes arise ; 
 The hosts of sin are pressing hard 
 To draw thee from the skies. 
 
 2 Oh, watch, and fight, and pray ; 
 
 The battle ne'er give o'er ; 
 Renew it boldly every day. 
 And help divine implore. 
 
 3 Ne'er think the vict'ry won, 
 
 Nor lay thine armor down ; 
 The work of faith will not be done 
 Till thou obtain the crown. 
 
 4 Then persevere till death 
 
 Shall bring thee to thy God ; 
 He'll take thee, at thy parting breath. 
 To his divine abode.

 1. When my Sav - iour I shall see, In his glo- rions likeness be, 
 
 2. When I'm whol-ly freed from sin, Spot -less, clean, and pure within, 
 
 3. When my feet shall press the shore Trod by an- gels' feet be- fore, 
 
 4. Oh, till then be this my care. More his im - age blest to wear ;

 For this is the grandest of missions, — Lost souls for the Master to win.

 And pass through the vale of the shadow of death, 
 The presence of Jesus will brighten the tomb. 
 With hope and with gladness dispelling its gloom. 
 
 With gladness dispelling its gloom. 
 
 4 For me his free bounty a table has spread ; 
 
 And blessings unmeasured he pours on my head ; 
 My cup with abundance and joy overflows; 
 He dries all my tears, and he heals all my woes. 
 He heals all my woes, all my woes. 
 
 5 His goodness and mercy shall crown all my days. 
 
 My mouth shall be filled with thanksgiving and praist; 
 I'll dwell in his temple of glory above. 
 And sing evermore of his grace and his love.

 Before the God we love, 
 And thousand hearts ascending 
 
 In gratitude above ; 
 While sinners, now confessing, 
 
 The gospel call obey, 
 And seek the Saviour's blessing, 
 
 A nation in a day. 
 
 The darkness disappears; 
 
 sons of earth are waking 
 To penitential tears; 
 Each breeze that sweeps the ocean 
 HIE Brings tidings from afar, 
 ~|| Of nations in commotion. 
 Prepared for Zion's war. 
 
 3 Blest river of salvation, 
 
 Pursue thine onward way ; 
 Flow thou to every nation. 
 
 Nor in thy richness stay : 
 Stay not till all the lowly 
 
 Triumphant reach their home : 
 Stay not till all the holy 
 
 Proclaim, "The Lord is come !"

 4 O Jesus, blessed Jesus, dear, 
 I'm coming now to thee ; 
 Since thou hast made the way so clear. 
 And full salvation free. 
 
 5 Come, then, and join this holy band. 
 And on to glory go ; 
 To dwell in that celestial land 
 Where joys immortal flow. 
 
 Come, Humble 
 
 1 Come, humble sinner, in whose breast 
 
 A thousand thoughts revolve, 
 Come,with your guilt and fearopprest. 
 And make this last resolve : — 
 
 2 ni go to Jesus, though my sin 
 
 Like mountains round me close ; 
 I know his courts, I'll enter in, 
 Whatever may oppose. 
 
 3 Prostrate I'll lie before his throne. 
 
 And there my guilt confess ; 
 
 Sinner. Tune aboTC 
 
 I'll tell him I'm a wretch undone, 
 Without his sovereign grace. 
 
 Perhaps he will admit my plea, 
 Perhaps will hear my prayer ; 
 
 But, if I perish, I will pray, 
 And perish only there. 
 
 I can but perish, if I go; 
 
 I am resolved to try : 
 For if I stay away I know 
 
 I must forever die. —Edmund Jonbs.

 There is welcome for the sinner, 
 And more graces for the good ; 
 
 Tnere is mercy with the Saviour; 
 There is healing in his blood. 
 
 For the love of God is broader 
 Than the measure of man's mind ; 
 
 And the heart of the Eternal 
 Is most wonderful and kind. 
 
 If our love were but more simple. 
 We should take him at his word ; 
 
 And our lives would be all sunshine 
 In the sweetness of our Lord.

 1. Prayer is the key For the bending knee To open the morn's first hours; 
 
 2. Not a soul so sad, Nor a heart so glad, When cometh the shades of night, 
 
 3. Take the golden key In your hand and see, As the night tide drifts away, 
 
 
 See the incense rise To the star- ry skies, Like per - fume from the flow'rs. 
 But the daybreak song Will the joy prolong, And some darkness turn to light. 
 How its blessed hold Is a crown of gold. Thro' the weary hours of day. 
 
 4 When the shadows fall, 
 And the vesper call 
 
 Is sobbing its low refrain, 
 'Tis a garland sweet 
 To the toil dent feet. 
 
 And an antidote for pain.
