The Clilrrth of Jess Christ of Latter-day Soists
"There is dishonor in
'rethinking a problem," wrote an
acute observer, "but there is
disaster in pursuing a wrong
"course." •
But often. pride or
.perverseness or embarrassment
could cape a person to continue a
wrong course, even when he
knows, he is wrong. People rnav
issue an ultimatum, sometimes in
anger, sometimes on impulse.
They lav down rigid,
unreasonable rules. They sav,
-Do this -or -else." Or. "I'1'1 show
them." Or, "I'll do this if it's the
last thing 1 do. " And it may be so.
There are basic principles
which justify firth siecisions. But
Wien stubborn _ positions are
assumed • simply on personal
opinion.
This • recalls the plea of
Crmwe•11--to-•his•--opponents":I

During the past two weeks the
St. Peter's Youth Group has been
involved in several events such as
the Youth Rally which was held
two weeks ago last Sunday.
Close to 100 teenagers showed
up for that very entertaining day.
The Saturday after that a few
members of the group sold apples
just off the highway, and it is
understood that; a "fairly good
fit was made..
A general meeting was held the
Monday after which was followed
by a recreation night.
This week they are.having a
film at St. Mary's school on
drugs. All the members and their
friends are invited.
p,ossple that you may be
mistaken." (2) ,
Sometimes loved ones separate
because of pride or stubbornness.
or because of the er?itdarrassment
of admitting a' mistake. But we
shouldn't let such lesser things
keep us from reconsidering
something 'that 'ought to be
recons„itere'd. It we are wrong. it
may take courage and character•
to reverse ourselves • But loved
ones should never leave loved
ones simply because of something
that has been rashly said. when'
reconsidering will save making
moreserious mistakes or save a
'Lifetime of regret. wishing we had
done differently
Let no one doggedly continue
down a wrong road Simply
because, in . SOIIIe' moment of
ignorance or angeror impulse. he
said he would do so. In such
fcrcumstance:s, always we shbuld
have the courage to reconsider, to
retract, to withdraw an
ultimatum, to admit a wrong, and
to say that we.are sorry. .
Young and. old, friends and
loved ones, children who have

__Ausbansisaestwives who ave set

BY REV. W. H. McWHINNIE

A message to all.
ChrIstian churches
The stury ut Evangelism isothe
specific stury of the Cross of
Christ. Great movements and
revivals have made up much of its
gener;11. history but slowly and ,
quietly through the years and
centuries the Evangel has won

fellow human beings to repetence
and have by, precept and example

individuals, sought others, and
brought them tip Jesus., .
Johrrttre' Baptist said ' Behold
two nights,a week in the slums' of
San. Antonio, Texas, dealing with
anyone who would listen to his
story cif salvation through Christ.
Needless to say, he won many.
Wherever there is a needy heart
the .personal soulwinner can
tactfully • present a crucified'
Christ who "is able ... to save
them to the uttermost.that come
unto God by him."
We hear a great deal
concerning the piitlpit. 'power of _
Spurgeon, hut few realize that tie

because he was a great personal
soulwinner. It is said of him that
during his forty years in• London
he averaged one convert a "day in
personal 'work. This is most
certainly an almost unparalleled .
