I have not learned whether he had the shot removed or not, . Let us heed the text of my outline and lovingly find and compel some one to come to Jesus this year. . "Go out into the highways and hedges and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled." -Luke 14:23: 1. In the first place we want to know where to find the high ways and hedges? L The home. 2. The field. 3. The shop. 4. The road side. 5- The store. 6. The mill 7. The railroad. t 8. The school. 9. The railway station. 10. The office. 11. The world. 1L How to compel them to come in? 1. By kind persuasion. 2. By convincing them that they are lost 3. By a deep interest in their return. 4. By showing them the right road. 5. By asking them to turn from their evil ways. Ezek 33:11. 6. By asking them to look and be saved. Isah 4322. 7. By pleading with them to eat and live forever. John 6:51. 8. By telling them to call on the Lord or salvation. Rome 113. 9. By entreating them to think and lire. John 4:14. III.

We will never amount to much if we only see the faults of oth ers, but we should seek for the noble acts ana deeds of people and use them as sign boards to direct us through the darkness and across the rough journey of life. I will give a short quota tion from Mr. Spurgeon, which is in point here. "I have no patience with those who poke their noses "into every man's house to smell out his faults, and put on magnifying glasses to discover their neighbor's plans. Such folks had better look at home. They might see the de vil where they little expected. What we wish to see we shall see, or think we see. Faults are always thick where love is thin.
