other peopl-e? How do we treat
other. people? Are, they persot'tsv,
or are they just props for us to
use? Do we merely trample
overtop them and forget that
they have feelings, sensitivities,
needs?
It is too often a case of per-
ceiving our neighbour- 'as a

being.' , Thev are rather to be
manipulated than respected. It
is because of this attitude that
'we ha.VQ so much strain and un-

It well . may be that the
Christian evangel has not cap-
tured the world because the
salesmen have been poor exam-

not been the spirit exposed.
Thus - failure! Success is only ..
gained by total absorption in
the; cause: 'go ye, therefore, into
all the world, and preach the
Gospel.'
.When one witnesses for the
Gospel he must be sold on his .,
cornmodity. He must live and
breathe it. The world is full of
men and women lying injured
in the ditches of life -
distr-aught - frustrated - distur-

seeking some small fragrance of
love - and there is nothing.
If we are going to continue
pestering the world with the
fact that we are Christian had
we not better, return to His
cross again? Paul has said so
well, "He died for the sins of
the world." If so, let us meet
again this Man of Calvary - let
us give our lives once more to
Him - and let us live in the
Spirit of His Presence.
