who are in normal spiritual health will give their lives in seeking the lost, using whatever secular pursuits they are in to pay expenses, while the main line business of their lives will be the same as it was with Christ.

The conclusion of all this is inevitable. Christ’s Program of every-member evangelism is the only thing that will save the Church. The reason is that constant soul-winning activity on the part of every Christian is the life of Christ in us normally expressed, and will therefore keep the Church in vigorous health; while ceasing the work of soul-winning means the life of Christ abnormally suppressed in all who do not engage in it, and by that much heads the Church toward certain death. Normal exercise of the life that is in us means vigor, and strength, and abounding vitality; while suppression of normal activity and lack of exercise, means increasing ill health, and heads us in the direction of death.

Now there are two features of the present condition of the Church that need most serious attention. One is the present increasing decline which is becoming an alarming drift toward death, and the other is the imperative call for revival and the renewal of vigorous health.

The Present Decline

The present condition of the Church, both in numerical and spiritual strength, is cause for serious apprehension, to say the least.
