THE Holy Spirit will convict men and women of sin, but he needs human help in reaching human hearts and inducing them to act after they are convicted. Most people whom you and I know are already convicted and convinced that they should be Christians. The great difficulty is to get them to do it now and this is your part.
IN this day of such great activity and “strenuous” living there are so many new things, as well as old, continually coming up that prevent people from desiring or even thinking of spiritual life. Never was it more true that we must go out into the highways and compel them to come in. In revivals too much is left to “general results,” until the "old general” is sadly overworked. The motto of that wonderful and effective organization of Christian business men, the Gideons, is good for all Christians: “And they stood every man in his place round about the camp."
IN a “general” way, you want to see your friends converted, why not help the Lord answer your prayers by aiding Him in winning them one by one?
TRY to have some one ready to make a public profession when the evangelist gives the opportunity.

QUALIFICATIONS needed.]
If we are going to lead souls to Christ, there are a few qualification that we need.
1st. A DEFINITE EXPERIENCE is needed. We must be able to say with Paul.
I KNOW whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
II Timothy 1:12.
Or to exclaim with the blind man.
