110 TEE ACTS OF THE APOSTLES walking in the footsteps of Him who went abont doing good. With hearts filled with sympathy and compassion, they are to minister to those in need of help, bringing to sinners a knowledge of the Saviour's love. Sncli work calls for laborious effort, but it brings a rich reward. Those who engage in it with sincerity of purpose will see souls won to the *Saviour; for the influence that attends the practical carrying out of the divine commission, is irresistible. Not upon the ordained minister only rests the responsibility of going forth to fulfil this commission. Every one who has received Christ is called to work for the salvation of his fellow-men. ''The Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say. Come. ' ' ' The charge to give this invitation includes the entire church. Every one who has heard the invitation is to echo the message from hill and valley, saying, "Come." It is a fatal mistake to suppose that the work of soul-saving depends alone upon the ministry. The humble, consecrated believer upon whom the Master of the vineyard places a burden for souls, is to be given encouragenient by the men upon whom the Lord has laid larger responsibilities. Those who stand as leaders in the church of God are to realize that the Saviour's commission is given to all who believe in His name. God will send forth into His vineyard many who have not been dedicated to the ministry by the laying on of hands. Hundreds, 3^ea, thousands, who have heard the message of salvation, are still idlers in the marketplace, when they might be engaged in some line of «Rev. 22:17.
