Evangelism in Action

This book for the most part has been wrought out by the author on the anvil of experience through a period of fifteen year.s as student, pastor, and general evangelist. During these years the author has made a special study of evangelism and has given it the first place in his ministry. He has a deep conviction that winning others to Christ is the first businessof the preacher, the church, and every redeemed soul. It was this conviction that caused him to lead his own church, during a pastorate of ten years, in twelve successful revivals, and during this same period he was called upon to hold scores of revivalsin other churches. Success at home created a demand for his services elsewhere, and as a result more cans came to lend a helping hand than could possibly be accepted. During the past few years many persistent appeals have come from kindfriends in the pastorate and from some important Christian schools to write a book covering the whole field of evangelism in a brief and practical way. This the writer has endeavored to do. He realizes full well his own inability for such a task and the many imperfections of this work, but sends it forth with the hope that it may add something of value to the knowledge and literature of one of the most fascinating themes in the world-evangelism.
