Wm. W. Boddie, yj Kingstree, S. C.?It. ; O JSS s ,. The Greatest Work in the World || (By Evangelist H. C. Buckholz) Without a doubt the greatest work that one can do is to win souls. "He 1 that winneth souls is wise." I would 1 rather be a soul winner than to be ^ ? the sovereign of the greatest nation i on earth. I would rather experience J the conquest of one soul for good than pp to have been Alexander, Ceasar or: Napoleon in their conquests of the pa 1 world. In the last day I would rather have a soul come to me and say: "Under God, you were instrumental ? in leading me into a knowledge of the truth," than to have climbed to ^ * the topmost round in the ladder of ^ fame. Du "And perchance in heaven to me one!* s , ian ay' j yo Some blessed Saint will come and Lj0 say: ! , 'Al! hail, beloved, but for thee, we s My soul to death had been a prey; je<. And Oh, what rapture in the thought, ^ One soul to glorv to have [ brought!' ? ' 2 To win souls, however, is not an to s easy task. It is the most difficult sei work to which one has ever addressed v himself. Harder is it than to build ^ e railroads, than to project great com- ^ j mercial enterprises, than to conduct a 0 a successful war. than to raise the ^ s price of cotton or tobacco. It ref quires consecration of life. None can jj s be a successful sou! winner who points ^ . to the atoning sacrifice with a hand ^ t leprosied by sin. It requires a burn- yQ, j ing passion for souls. One's heart s must be on fire with love for souls pe e if he would win them. It requires' pa r tact. To go rough-shod for one; J whom you are trying to win is u>: i drive them farther away. Tact, or .'wisdom, is nor manufactured. but it is promised to the one who sincerely s asks for it. "If any man lack wis- m( e dom, let him ask of God. who giveth an to all men liberally and upbraideth not" Soul-winning, to be fruitful 0f must be accompanied by personal effort. Hand-picked fruit is the best. tjr I We do not sweep jewels into the King- pgj j dom; we must cany them in one by , | one. Some of the greatest trophies m{ of salvation, like John Gough and D. L. Moody, were the result of personal jov effort. The early deciples were me brought to the Master one at a time. < Each soul must be won by one. Oh, that this might be the time when the -q Christians of Kingstree shall give themselves to the work of soul-win- gU( ine. If each Christian will try to influence iust one person to come to C0I *? in fliO the meetings now in (iivgicoo ? w.~ ]n^ s Baptist church and then will pray jjjj t earnestly for that one and back it pr s by personal effort, many souls will 0f be reached.
