How to Win Souls
NUMBER 33
make much of it; but we should
never present it without presenting its Author. Truth is not our
Saviour, and there is no truth so
great as Jesus. Every sermon,
every Bible reading, every canvass, every missionary effort,
should have Jesus in it everywhere.
If you teach Jesus and live
Jesus, you will win souls. But
we must really appeal to men's
hearts. There is no use for us
to try to do missionary work unless we are really in earnest. In
the olden times when they didn't
have half the gospel we have,
men of God used to weep for
souls, and wish that their heads
were waters and their eyes fountains that they might weep day
and night for lost souls. If we
could have the experience now
that those men of God had in
olden times, we would get close
to men's hearts. To win souls we
must win hearts. Brethren, let
us pray and work for the power
to win souls. "This power God
is willing to give you without
stint. He asks only a humble,
contrite heart, that is willing to
believe and receive His promises.
You have only to use the means
that God has placed within your
reach, and you will obtain the
blessing."—"Gospel Workers," p.
35.
There is no blessing like winning souls.

reach you just a short time before

your mind the force of workers

brethren who are not used to
heavy physical labor, are almost
completely fagged out when the
time comes to begin the meeting.
But our objective is to prepare
a place for the Lord to meet with
His people; and we feel well repaid when we see the trains,
taxis and other conveyances unload their passengers, and we
meet our dear brethren and sisters, who have come, some by
train, others by auto and some
by wagons, to join in the feast
of good things.
We are told that "From the
beginning to the end, every campmeeting may be a love-feast,
because God's presence is with

the Lord has promised to manifest His presence on this occasion
in a very special manner.

"God desires us to make use of
every opportunity for securing a
preparation for His work. He expects us to put all our energies
into its performance, and to keep
our hearts alive to its sacredness
and its fearful responsibilities."
"A LITTLE CHILD SHALL
LEAD THEM"
Margarita Velez is only fourteen years of age; she lives in
Porto Rico, and her father is a
farmer. Nominally, her family
profess the Presbyterian creed.
One uncle is a Presbyterian
minister.
When our worker, Brother Bracero, organized a little Sabbath
school in the district where Margarita lives, he invited her to attend; but she said she would not
go to an Adventist Sabbath
school, as she was a Presbyterian.
Margarita goes to school in the
neighbouring town, where our
worker lives. It so happened that
a close friendship sprang up
between Mar
racero s ittIe daughter, who is a
consecrated little missionary. At
times, Margarita would visit
Brother Bracero's family.
One
night a heavy rainstorm prevent,
ed her from returning home; and
she was compelled to stay in our
worker's home over night. Thus
she had opportunity to attend the
seasons of family worship. A
desire .to know the Bible was
awakened in her heart, and Brother Bracero made arrangements
to give her a short Bible study,
daily, after the school lunch hour.
The seed fell on good ground.
Margarita began to pray; and
although ridiculed by her parents
at first, she continued the practice and won her little sisters to
the same blessed habit.
As yet she had not had any
study on the coming of Christ,
nor did she know anything about
it. But one night she dreamed
very vividly of His coming in
glorious clouds.
People were
hurrying excitedly in all directions when one voice very distinctly cried: "Let's go to the house of
the Adventist minister, for there
we shall find salvation." For
a long time Margarita kept the
dream to herself, but was now
more eager than ever to continue
her studies of the Adventist faith.
At this time she read "The
Marked Bible" in Spanish. After
reading it, she lent it to her uncle,
a young man who lived an irreligious and profane life. He
read it. As he returned it to Mar-
garita, she asked him: "Uncle,
what do you think of the book?"
"I am convinced it has the
truth in it, and I am an Adventist," replied the young man.
"You truly mean it?" asked
Margarita, surprised.
"Yes," he replied, "now I am
an Adventist at heart, but soon I
shall be an Adventist publicly."
When, a few weeks ago, we
were led to pitch our tent in that
district, this young man immediately identified himself with
us. In the meantime, Margarita
and he have been doing missionary work among their own friends
and relatives.
As a result of their example and
testimony, the followin
gars a s amily are now
preparing for baptism: three
uncles, two aunts, one cousin, and
two sisters—nine in all, including
Margarita, herself. Others of the
family are following a little more
slowly.
Margarita plans to be a missionary in the cause, and so does
her uncle, the young man mentioned above. Both plan to attend our training school as soon
as it opens.

WAINIBUKA SCHOOL, FIJI
Just a few words to our readers
in the homeland who are interested in our native training schools
in the island fields. Our school
here at Navuso is full to its
capacity, with 112 students. A
number of new students came in
at the beginning of the year, and
are now nicely settled down in
their new home, and appear to
be contented and happy.
We have taken much interest
in watching the traits of character
in each child, and their desire to
come up higher and to live cleaner
and
i better lives. In their home

third year, but on the fourth
Sunday evening over two thousand three hundred people were
present. The queue began to
form at 5:30 p. m. for the service
commencing at 7 p. m. It is
very wonderful to those of us
who know London, with its multitudinous attractions, to see
people make long journeys from
all parts of the city and wait for
hours in the cold and wet to
listen to an Adventist preacher.
There is only one explanation—
the hour has come for the message
to triumph, and the Lord is
going before us and preparing the
people to listen to its warning
notes. The many prayers of our
faithful people are being answered
and souls are being helped and
saved.
It will interest our people to
know a little of what is happening
in London. Apart from the vast
Congregation and our heavy visiting list with its large quota of
genuinely interested inquirers,
we think that it is splendid to see
our advertisements on the walls
of the underground railway stations, and our large poster at the
top of the Strand. The Daily
Express, Daily News, and Sunday
Express have all carried our
advertisements, so that we are
gradually coming to the front.
The services are attracting the
attention of many thinking people and our latest seeker after
truth is a Jewish rabbi. We endeavour to make the services
attractive. Our ushers, in charge
of Brother Bartlett, are like a
band of soldiers and they handle
the crowds splendidly. The organ
is in the hands of a capable musician, and we have good soloists.
We still preach the same old
message—which is the power of
God unto salvation. It is worthy
of the best in every way.

It is encouraging, too, to notice
how some of the new, boisterous
and °noisy ones calm down, learn
how to conduct themselves, and
become accustomed to living useful and active lives.
Just recently one of our boys
left here for further training at
Buresala. He is a good, quiet boy,
and apparently will do well. As
he goes about his several tasks
and studies from day to day, let
us pray that he may become fitted
to be a worker for Christ.
It is also pleasing to us to
notice how the girls improve
from lesson to lesson in their
sewing. One little girl especially,
in my class, takes great pride in
sewing. It is really a credit to
her, for she keeps it so beautifully
neat and clean. It is a pleasure to
deal with such children when they
try so hard to please us. Of
course we must measure out a
great deal of patience with each
one. Often they, like other
children, are bubbling over with
life, and simply will get into
mischief.
We pray that God may strengthen the desire of these young
people to aim higher and yet
higher every day, and may they
find some lesson pertaining to
Christ in every thing which they
find to do, be it work or play. We
greatly enjoy our work here, and
realize that God has called us to
do a very sacred work.
May He give us strength to
be faithful.

PLANNING AHEAD FOR OUR
CHILDREN
A new school year will soon
begin.
In many households
plans are being laid for this or
that member to attend one of
our resident schools. How about
the others? The Fireside Correspondence School can give
young people who must remain at
home, regular instruction covering a year at the college or the
academy; and if they use their
time wisely, following a regular
home program, it is possible for
these stay-at-homes to do a full
year's work betweeen September
and May. Where there's a will,
there's a way. The Fireside
helps those who want to help
themselves. It brings the College
to the door of the willing student,
and it gives him instruction for
which full credit is allowed in
all our resident schools. Best
of all, it makes it possible for
conscientious fathers and mothers
to provide a Christian education
for all the members of the family.
For catalogue and further particulars apply to the
Fireside Correspondence School,
Takoma Park, Washington, D. C.
"ACTS OF THE APOSTLES"
IN FOREIGN LANGUAGES
"Acts of the Apostles" is
now available in both the German
and Swedish languages, and may
possibly be ready in the DanishNorwegian a few weeks later, at
which time our announcement
will be made.
The German book is imported
from Hamburg, is bound in
board binding, and sells at $1.50.
The Swedish book is published
at Brookfield, is bound uniformly
with the English, at the same
rate, cloth, $2.25; limp, $3.25.
Orders should be sent to your
Book & Bible House, and books
can be mailed out at once.

It is unique in its field.
Although written in plain,

will not find it shallow.
When you glance over the

SETTING THE CAPTIVES
FREE
On the last day of the old year.
the Seregina policeman arrived
at the Efogi mission with two of
his men in handcuffs. He brought
them over to see Gobeli, our
Efogi policeman, as the other
policemen look upon him as
"the big boss boy."
In the afternoon Gobeli, who
had been out shooting, arrived,
and I told him the Seregina policeman had two boys in handcuffs. He said, "I will go down
and see what the trouble is, and
if they are bad I will take them
down to Port Moresby."
A little later I saw them all
coming up to the house, and Gobeli said they wanted to talk with
me in the office ( our usual place
when troubles have to be settled).
So to the office we went. I
enquired the nature of the trouble,
and he told me the two boys had
been fishing, when the smaller
one of the two was wearing the
other boy's beads or dog's teeth,
and while diving for fish lost
them. A fight followed, and when
the policeman ordered them to
stop fighting, the older boy would
not; so the policeman put the
handcuffs on them and brought
them over.
I asked if they wanted to take
the boys to Port Moresby, but
Gobeli said, No; the Government
had told him if blood was spilt
they were to take them down; but
in this case no blood was spilt,
and they wished to let the boys
go, but as they had no key to
unlock the handcuffs they looked
to me for help.
Formerly keys were supplied
.0.4M1.00.1111110.11111•41.11.0•1

to policemen, but the Government found that in some cases a
policeman would be taking his
man to headquarters when the
promise of a pig, etc., on the
part of the prisoner, would bring
about his release, so the Government called all the keys in.
I examined the handcuffs and
said I would try to make a key.
I set to work and soon had the
prisoners free; after giving the
boys a little fatherly advice I
took advantage of the opportunity to give them a spiritual lesson,
telling them that Satan wanted to
put the handcuffs on us all, and
make us all prisoners, causing us
to do bad deeds, and he wanted to
keep us in prison all the time. I
then explained to them how
Jesus had died for us and He has
the keys to set us free, and He
wants to set us all free, if we will
let Him take the handcuffs off
of us; and that we had come here
to tell them about Jesus, as we
wanted all the people to be free,
and by and by live with Jesus.
Gobeli thought a moment and
said, "Taubada, we policemen
are like Satan. We put the handcuffs on the boys and take them
to prison, but you are. like Jesus,
you come here to set the boys
free."

COLLEGEDALE NOTES
The August number of The
Southland was issued early this
month, and this issue is fully up
to the standard set for our
student journal.
The actual
number of subscribers to whom
this issue went, was 814. Can't
we make it a thousand before
the next number appears?
Recently 28 more seats have
been placed in the rear of the
chapel, raising the seating capacity to 314. What are you doing
to help fill these seats when
school opens next month?
It has been arranged for Professor Hamilton to visit each one
of the camp-meetings in the
two union conferences forming
the territory of S. J. C. Under
this arrangement he can, of
course, spend only a limited
time at each meeting.
WEDDING CHIMES
On Tuesday evening, August
10, at the home of Professor
Hamilton, his daughter Evelyn
was united in marriage with
Mr. William Shephard, Elder
Field officiating.
The happy
couple left next day on an auto
trip to Washington, D. C., and
vicinity. They are to be connected with the new Florida
Academy for the coming school
year.
STUDENT NURSES WANTED
In order to meet the increasing
demand for more help in the
Florida Sanitarium and Hospital,
we shall need forty nurses to enter
the course beginning September
1. While many of the students in

than twelve grades of school
work, we are still accepting appli-

Mrs. Plummer, Secretary of the
General Conference Sabbath School
Department, referring to this series
of lessons and the value of a help,
says of this book:
"There is no better lesson help for
teachers of any grade of pupils. The
details that are given are helpful, but
better than all else are the deeply spiritual truths that are set forth in this
volume. It affords the richest spiritual
food. One who m:sses the study of this
book along with the Sabbath school lessons, misses that which can never be
replaced. I would rather have that book
alone as a study-help than all the volumes that have been written—and they
are many—on the Book of Acts by religious writers of the day."
The thorough student of these
lessons will wish to secure a copy of
the lesson help prior to the time
this interesting series begins.
