willing to do much talking for God, but few are willing to be silent if that is His plan for them. We need to realize that whereas in other circumstances, silence would be a betrayal of sacred trust, there are times when silence is the only way to serve Him. •In those prayers of consecration, reach up by faith and claim souls for Him, whether they be won by silence or by speaking, by us or by others whom the Lord may send to them. Cling to the Saviour with the unwearied persistence of Elijah and Jacob, refusing to let Him go until we are blessed with fruits for our labor. •Finally, devise no schemes for bringing ourselves into con tact with the needy. Simply set our hand to the duties nearest us, and the Lord will take care of the rest. If we follow this missionary plan, then the common order of things will be replaced by God’s way, success will follow, and we will find ourselves resting in the Lord and experiencing a joy which knows no bounds. Hundreds of souls will be won where there is now only one.
