This Afternoon
Dr Chapman spoke as follows this
morning:
"Evangelism Is the hope of the
church. It has always been so in the
past, and will continue to be so until
the church is completed and has been
taken away from the world at the re
turn of the Lord Jesus Christ, her
Head. The church has made all her
great spiritual advances along evange
listic lines. When the evangelistic
spirit has wanted, or when men have
souRht to substitute anything else in
the place of this spirit the cause of
Christ has suffered.
"In the early days of the church
two noted examples of evangelistic zeal
were given to us. St. Peter and St.
Paul went everywhere preaching the
Gospel. They counted no sacrlllce too
great, no service too hard, and no
Journey too long, if only tncy mignt
1 minister since their day has been in
lany sense worthy of his high calling
; if he has been mcKing in me spun
which possessed these two.
"The wonderful thing to me about
preaching Is this that which has
made men great in the past Is within
the reach of oil ot us. Successful
preaching is not of necessity the re
BUlt of grat Intellectual equipment, or
even mental training; these are not
to be despised, but successful preach
ing Is possible w!ien men are right
with God, when they are called of God
to preach, and are filled with Hla Spir
it Not n Method. But a Spirit
"Evangelism is not a method, but
a spirit If it were the former, it
would be bondnge for the most of us.
for we as a rule quite as unable to
use each other'a methods as David
found tt Impossible to fight with Haul s
armor, but since evangelism Is a spirit
it ta possible for us all to put Into
practice those principles which results
In evangllsm of the very highest type.
The greatest opportunity thnt the
world has ever Been for preaching ts
now fneing us. This la true for two
reasons.
'The first reason may be aomewhst
strange, but nevertheless I think the
opportunity la here, because of the
general aag in spiritual matters tn the
Christian churvh during the past two
or three years. lndd. for the past
