Whatever else might be said of the assemblies which are professedly gathered unto the name of the Lord Jesus Christ alone, it is generally acknowledged that these two things characterize them all:
(1) that they are, by the grace of God, free from every taint of modernism, and,
(2) that they maintain a pure gospel testimony. We may heartily thank God that it is so, without any spirit of self-congratulation, but we may I suspect it may be well be on our guard also, lest the enemy find a way of corrupting either the doctrine or the method of working. easier to do the latter than the former, although there is a definite connection between the two. We are living in a day when evangelistic campaigns have become popular, when conversion has been made "easy" for great masses of people, and we read of thousands being "swept into the kingdom of God." But the question must arise in the minds of all sober-thinking Christians: How much of all this is the real working of the Spirit of God? And another question is: To what extent may modern methods be employed in the work of the gospel, without violating those scriptural principles by which every true servant of Christ desires to be governed? I propose, therefore, to bring those principles to your notice, and to consider their bearing on the work of evangelism. Let me first state that the object of all evangelism is to bring men truly to Christ for salvation-and not only for salvation, but for discipleship. The object should never be to merely obtain professions of faith, or to make church members. Our aim must be the true spiritual conversion and regeneration of our hearers.
