"Ye Shall Be Witnesses Unto Me"One Man Distributed
I7HE Lord Jesus finished all the
work pertaining to His first ad-
vent; and before ascending, said to
His disciples: "Ye shall be witnesses
unto Me both in Jerusalem, and in all
Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the
uttermost part of the earth."
(Acts 1:8)
Every believer should feel the re-
sponsibility and value the privilegeof witnessing for Christ.
Only Eternity will reveal the far-
reaching effects of such confession.
Your personal testimony will have
more effect upon some particular per-
son than any other Christian's wit-
ness
In this connection we have always
liked Frances Ridley Havergal's
poem:Have you not a word for Jesus? not a word to say for Him?
He is listening through the chorus of the burning seraphim!
He is listening; does He hear you speaking of the things of earth,
Only of its passing pleasure, selfish sorrow, empty mirth?
He has spoken words of blessing, pardon, peace and love to you,
Glorious hopes and gracious comfort, strong and tender, sweet and true:
Does He hear you telling others something of His love untold,
Overflowings of thanksgiving for His mercies manifold?
Have you not a word for Jesus? Will the world His praise proclaim?
Who shall speak if ye are silent? ye who know and love His name.
You, whom He hath called and chosen His own witnesses to be,
Will you tell your gracious Master, 'Lord we cannot speak for Thee'?
'Cannot!' though He suffered for you, died because He loved you so!
'Cannot!' though He has forgiven, making scarlet white as snow!
'Cannot!' though His grace abounding is your freely promised aid!
'Cannot!' though He stands beside you, though He says: 'Be not afraid!'
What shall be our word for Jesus? Master, give it day by day;
Ever as the need arises, teach Thy children what to say.
Give us holy love and patience; grant us deep humility,
That of self we may be emptied, and our hearts be full of Thee;
Give us zeal and faith and fervor, make us winning, make us wise,
Single-hearted, strong and fearless-Thou hast called us, we will rise!
Let the might of Thy good Spirit go with every loving word;
And by hearts prepared and opened be our message always heard!
Yes, we have a word for Jesus! Living echoes we will be
Of thine own sweet words of blessing, of Thy gracious 'Come to Me.'
Jesus Master! yes, we love Thee, and to prove our love, would lay
Fruit of lips which Thou wilt open, at Thy blessed feet today.
Many an effort it may cost us, many a heart-beat, many a fear,
But Thou knowuest, and wilt strengthen, and Thy help is always near.
Give us grace to follow fully, vanquishing our faithless shame,
Feebly it may be but truly, witnessing for Thy dear Name.
Yes, we have a word for Jesus! we will bravely speak for Thee,
And Thy bold and faithful soldiers, Savior, we would henceforth be:
In Thy name set up our banners, while Thine own shall wave above,
With Thy crimson Name of Mercy, and Thy golden Name of Love.
Help us lovingly to labor, looking for Thy present smile,
Looking for Thy promised blessing, through the brightening 'little while,'
Words for Thee in weakness spoken. Thou wilt here accept and own,
And confess them in Thy glory, when we see Thee on Thy throne."0 Lord, open Thou my lips; and
my mouth shall show forth Thy
praise." (Psalm 51:15)
"My soul shall make her boast in
the Lord: the humble shall hear there-of and be glad." (Psalm 34:2)
"Go home to thy friends, and tell
them how great things the Lord hath
done for thee, and hath had compas-
sion on thee." (Mark 5:19)2 1/2 Million Tracts

he was a prodigious

6% years agoHe was saved b
grace, through faitl
without works, 5
retired from busin,e
and devoted hirnstentirely to the important work I
spreading the Gospel of Chiist by th
printed page, in the vicinity of Ch
cago.
Day in and day out, he could b
seen at his loved work of tract distn
bution. When the weather forbade lh
being out, he would remain indoors
fold and prepare the tracts for ea
distribution.
It is estimated that he has place
over two and one-half million tract
-furnished him by the LeTournea
Evangelistic Center.
Only eternity can reveal the he
vest resulting from such faithful soa
ing of "incorruptible seed" on th
part of this elderly, quiet and unef
suing worker.
The divine and unfailing promise
is: "He which soweth sparingly she
reap also sparingly; and he which
soweth bountifully shall reap alI
bountifully." (2 Corinthians 9:6)
Evangelizing by tract distribute
is a grand way of spending one's tia
in this needy world! Are you usE
tracts? If not, you should; for it is
Effective method of spreading
name and fame of the Savior
sinners.
