Example of Individualism

ONCKEN was a servant, bookseller, and tract distributor. With six others he organized a church in a shoe shop. He went forth visiting every part of Germany, scattering Bibles and tracts, and gathering converts into churches. In twenty-five years this was the result of his work: Sixty-five churches and 750 stations, from 8,000 to 10,000 members, 120 ministers and Bible readers, Bibles and scattered tracts by the million, and 50,000,000 had heard the gospel.
Give us 250 such men as Oncken, and in a quarter of a century we can not only organize 16,000 churches, with 2,500,000 members, but may preach the gospel to every soul on earth.—Selected.
