Evening Republican, Volume 19, Number 28, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 February 1915 — Winning Souls for Christ. [ARTICLE]

Winning Souls for Christ.

Soul-saving is the chief business of the church. Superficially, many things short of actual, personal salvation as the goal of Christian work may be worth while; but essentially our best efforts are a dismal failure unless they result In bringing the unsaved into the kingdom. The work of the church is many-sided, and under modern conditions there must be diversity of operation in order to meet the needs of the hour. There is danger of devoting all interest and energy" to a multiplicity of methods and measures without getting at the real kernel of things. It is possible to attract and engage the attention and Interest of the general public and to get the crowd looking and coming our way without succeeding in getting real acceptance of Christ as a personal Savior. Yet this is the one thing needful. —Evangelical Messenger. —— *
