principles guiding to successful methods in the evangelistic camp
meetings serve safely and well in leading to fruitful methods in present-
day evangelism
.
The instruction in this book is restricted almost entirely to the evan-
gelistic work of the minister and the Bible instructor. The voluminous
counsel in regard to lay evangelism, set forth so fully in other E. G.
[8]
White productions, also guidance on literature evangelism which fills
such an important place in our work, are not repeated here because
of space limitations. Likewise, medical evangelism, treated so fully
and well in Ministry of Healing, Medical Ministry, and Counsels on
Health, is not dwelt upon except as it relates to the public presentation
of the message. Much more might be included on the qualifications of
the evangelist, but the quotations on this topic are here limited to such
points as have a direct bearing on his special work
.
This volume is now sent into the field with the conviction that its
appearance will mark a definite advance in methods of evangelism.
Its constructive, up-to-date counsel, its timely cautions, its views of
the triumph of the message, will, we believe, constitute a “blueprint,”
guiding an evangelism that will reach its glorious climax under the
loud cry of the third angel
