The Soul-Winning Campaign

ONE of the most encouraging omens of certain success in this work is the spirit manifested throughout the ranks of this people to rise up and take hold with earnestness in the special soul-winning campaign recently inaugurated. It is bringing joy to the hearts of those who are doing the work, and already there are those rejoicing in the newfound truth who have come into the ranks as a result of this revival in the work of winning souls for Christ and his truth. Some have set their mark at one hundred souls during the year 1914, others at fifty. Is there any Seventh-day Adventist who will not work and pray to win one soul during the year?

If there are any among us who cannot set their standard this high, that fact ought to startle them into a vivid realization of their own danger. Satan would have each one of us feel, “It is not necessary that I should enter this campaign.” He would have us feel that we are secure; but feeling secure at this time is in truth the very lethargy of death.

With the close of the controversy so near at hand; with the forces of good and of evil in the last terrible grapple for mastery in this world; with all heaven looking on to see who of us will prove faithful and dependable; with the inexhaustible love of God now poured out in unstinted measure upon his people, surely we shall not prove recreant to our trust and turn our backs upon Heaven's commission to us. “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.” Isa. 60: 1.
