that much more would be accomplished than is now being done. Those
who have this experience have a special duty to perform in teaching
others.—

The Ministry of Song
Students who have learned to sing sweet gospel songs with melody
and distinctness, can do much good as singing evangelists. They will
find many opportunities to use the talent that God has given them
in carrying melody and sunshine into many lonely places darkened
by sorrow and affliction, singing to those who seldom have church
privileges.
Students, go out into the highways and hedges. Endeavor to reach
the higher as well as the lower classes. Enter the homes of the rich
as well as the poor, and as you have opportunity, ask, “Would you
be pleased to have us sing some gospel hymns?” Then as hearts are
softened, the way may open for you to offer a few words of prayer
for the blessing of God. Not many will refuse to listen. Such ministry
is genuine missionary work.—
