GREETINGS

t o

s e e k and

t o

s a v e that which is l o s t; t h i s i s t h e gr e a t e s t mis s i o n ever

v e n tu r e d upon.

It is our divine privilege

to

extend

the

arm

of

Christ in

this

s ame

mission.

I . GOD,

WHO

BEES

ALL THINGS ,

KNOWS

THAT I AM

AND

THAT

ALL

MEN ARE SINNERS. Job Jl*

2-4, For what is the portion

from G o d

above and the heritage from the Almighty on

high? I s it not

c alamity t o

t he unright e ou s, and d i s a s t e r

t o t h e

w o r k e r s of

in

iquity?

Doth

n o t He s e e

my

ways,

and

number all

my

steps?

I

Samuel I6s7 But Jehovah

said

unto Samuel,

look

no t o n

his

countenance, or o n

the height

o f

his stature; for Jehovah se e th

n o t

a s man seeth; for man looketh o n

the outw a rd appe a r ance,

but

Jehovah looketh on the the he art.

ren, race

hatred,

etc., but

these

are the

ones

for

whom

Christ died.

May

I illustratet Bro. Neville

Campbell,

once a gr e a t slav e

t o

rum, finally

gave

his

h e a r t t o

Christ thro ugh

Christian

baptism. He do e s n o t look like

or

a c t

like

the

same p ers on. He h a s become a witnes s

for

Christ among those who a r e

still

en

sl a v ed by t he

bottle.

This is t h e

forgiving

gr ace of our G o d .

II. WE

KNOW

GOD SYMPATHIZES WITH

THE TERRIBLE PLIGHT OF THE

SINNER.

Hebrews

4:15,

F o r

we h ave

no t

a

high priest

t h a t cannot

be touched

with

t h e feeling

o f

our

in

firmities; but

o n e

that h a t h b e e n in all points t e m p t e d like

w e

are, yet with out

sin.

Ifatt.

But

w h e n He

s a w t h e

multitude.

He

w a s

m o v e d w i t h

compassion

on

them,

because they

fainted,

and were scattered

abroad, as

sheep

having no s h e p h e r d .

How

our h earts

are made

heavy a s

w e s e e t h e

sin

burdened, confused, religious

but

n o t Chris tian multitude.

Y e s ,

I think we know something o f t he

c o m p a s s i o n

o f t he

h e a r t

of Christ. Oh,

h o w

He l o v e d t h e sinner, wh ile

CHRIST

SAVES

THE

SINNER, WHEN HE

SURRENDERS HIS

ALL TO

HIM. Matt. Ii21, And

she shall bring forth a son,

and

thou shall call

His na me Jesus:

for

He

shall save

His people from their sine, I Tim. l:15i ' ' T h i s is a faithful

saying,

and worthy

o f

all

acceptation, t hat

Christ Jesus

came

into the

world to

save

sinners; o f

w h om

I

am chief. Amen b r o t h e r . ' Let

u s

shout it t o the

h o u s e

t o p , ' He and He alone

i

s

the

answer

to

the

mess in

which

man finds

himself.

IV.

JESUS

SATISFIES THE

HUNGER,

THE

THIRST AND

FILLS THE NEED

OF

EVERY

MAN'S

LIFE.

J o h n 4:l4, But w h o s o e v e r d r i n k e t h of t h e w a t e r that

I

s h a l l g i v e h i m s h a l l n e v e r

thirst;

but

the

water that I

shall

give him

shall

be in him a

well

of water spring

ing

up

i n t o

everlasting

life.

This thirst will be satisfied as you there at

h o m e a n d

those

of

u s abroad,lift

high

the Christ: You

in

your faithful giving

and;us

giving freely

of

this

w o r d

to

those

dying in their

sins.

May

God give us

vision; then faith

working through l ove

to

bring

the

forgiveness of God

t o

obedient sinners.

GROWTH HAS

BEEN

MOST ENCOURAGING.

W e h a v e

Last

APRIL

THE

WE GO

T O TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA

for

6

dsvs,

I

will

be

speaking

several times in their missionary conference. Then on the IJth our children are

paying for our

way

on to

Seattle

f or a two weeks visit

with

them. While there, we

will get

to

attend the Gosp el Festival at P S C B .

THE

REVOLVING LOAN

FUND IS A M U S T .

Recently, an inexperienced boatman fell over

board and his

boat

ran over him nearly cutting o ff his arms.

It is

thi s same sort

of

inexperience

that

is causing tragedy for many missions.

W e

appreciate the fact

that churches are concerned that we

h a v e

Living Link supp ort, but putting mission

aries on th e field i s only half the job. I

keep

thinking

of

this man whose

arms

were

dangling helplessly

as a result fro m

the

propellers o f his

own

boat.

Put

a r m s

T h i s f u n d ,

w i l l b e

r e p l e n i s h e d

as

the

benefiting congregations

repay the l o a n.
