CONGREGATIONS GROW! AT SAINT ANDREW’S! Large Crowds Hear Dr. Thacker; Subject Last Night Was Evangelism.” Tiu' second day of the meeting- un der Dr. J. Earnest Thacker at St. An dn-w's Presbyterian church, showed a large increase in attendance and in in terest. Dr. Thacker called for a meet ing of alliofficers, Sunday school teach ers. and others interested in the suc cess ef the meeting at the close of the service. Practically 100 people respond ed to his invitation. He spoke for ten minutes on the way in which each one might work and pray for the success of the meeting. The subjects for today at 10:30 will be "The New and Irre traceable Way” and tonight atf 7:45 -The Church, Her Complaint and its Cure." Due of the remarkable things about in- Thacker is the unusual hold which j,,. lias upon the scriptures. He never , pens the bible, either during the scrip un e lesson or in quoting. The .singing of Thomas B. Roddy is proving a strong factor in the spiritual l,fo of this meeting. He sings the gos pel into the hearts of the people. The men choirs under his leadership are developing at each service and are add ing greatly to the power and attrac liveness of the meeting. Last night Dr. Thacker spoke on -Evangelism” and said in part: The 'worlds greatest teacher said •One tlcng is needful,’ ” said Dr. Thacker. "It is a comfort and- an in spiration to us, amid the multitplie? pares and complex duties of life, to l,,ar Jesus say—and Jesus knows— ■iliere is only one absolute necessity.’ Christ is essential to the world. ‘He ihat hath the Son hath life, and he that hath not the Son of God shall not so, life.’ To take Christ to a lost world and to bring a lost world to Christ, this is evangelism. Evangelism and Method. With manifests’. Tower manifests itself through mrthods,’ but method must not be sub stituted for power. A church may be the most Pauline and yet at times the most un-Pauline of churches. We are Pauline in doctrine, but often un-Pau line in method. We are in danger of forgetting that the greatest theologian said that he was willing to be, and was all things to all men, if by any means he might save us.’ Occasionally one of our ministers is heard to say *hat he doesn't believe in ‘evangelist and evan gelism.’ He intends this, of course, as a criticism of men and methods. "One of our older, learned, most re spected and conservative ministers said to me not long ago that he feared we erticised other workers, and their methods to such an extent that we sometimes forget to rejoice over the souls saved through their instrur, tality. "John spoke to Jesus, saying, ur. we saw one castinge-nut devils in and we forbade him, because he follow ,-tli not us.' But Jesus said, “Forbid him not.' Evangelism is the fundamental duty of the church and the most sub lime privilege and responsibility of ,-very Christian. The Shepherd search 'd for the last sheep until he found it. We may say that a man is wise who alwhys does things ‘in decency) Lind in order* who is a gregt exegete. j a fine ^ogicidn, a profound theologian. ;md a 'spellbinding’ orator, but God -.ems to say that he is wise who is willing to be ‘all things to all men, if by any means he may save some,' who seeks tlie lost until the lost is found and saved. Thy name, and he not us; Evangelism and Individual tlinstian. i " 'Hand picked fruit is the best.’ I Personal evangelism counts most. One] great remedy for the inertia of the rhureli. the shortage in the ministry,] the Jack of results, will be found In -very Christian—minister of layman— becoming, as Christ intended he should. ;i personal worker. ‘Let him that I'.enreth, say come.’ This was largely the method of Christ. Let the minister who thinks that he is to be ‘apt to teach.’ to feed i'i flock, 'to instruct and comfort God's people,’ know that in all this he is doing ill- will of Gcd, and that this work must not be neglected; but let him not I forget that Christ seemed to lay a hun-! flr-d-fold more stress upon winning on- soul, when he bids us leave the ninetieth and nine, if necessary, and seek the lost till we find it. Joy Over Our Sinner Won. "Boubless all Heaven was thrilled with joy when Pentecost came and 3,000 were born into the Kingdom in a single bay, but that isn't what the Bible tells ns caused joy in Heaven —‘Joy shall be in Heaven over one sinner that1 re p-tileth." Jesus Saved the Individual. "Jesus was the great ‘wonder work er.' the 'crowd compelling’ preacher of 11 is day. but His great example was in nersonal work, and many of His most profound lessons were given to the in dividual. It was to an unworthy wom an that He gave the message of the water of life, of which if a man drink 1 tli lie shall never thirst any more. It "'as a Jewish rabbi to whom "He gave i h- lesson of the new birth.. It vac His interest in the dying thief, stained, and steeped in SOn, that caused 'Jesus to forget even the pangs of Calvary that H- might save the individual sin^jr. "'Hie disciples practiced this tneYhod. Andrew found his own brother and "■ought him to Jesus, Philip found Na theniel, and Paul preaqhed his great sermon on the plan of salvation to the Jailer. The doctor ministers-to the in dividual patient. the lawyer repfe s-nts the individual client, the mer- j -nan! sells to the individual customer. I in a pastorate of seventeen years I r'n|nd that more than three-fourths of, thns- uniting with the church came !l' as j1 result of personal work. j [IVould you go and, empty handed?
