N 0 portion of that life is more vitally important than its early stages. A new convert to Christ - whether he or she is young in years or not - has had but a very limited experience; and experience is like the stern-light of a vessel; it only shows the path that has already been sailed over. But every voyager may profit by the experiences of others who have sailed the same track and encountered the same difficulties or perils. Every word of counsel therefore which is in accordance withsetting out. It is my aim in the following pages to present a few such frank and fatherly counsel's. Some of the chapters may be equally applicable to those who are farther advanced in Christian growth. But my chief aim is to reach and to instruct those who have newly enlisted in the ser vice of the Lord Jesus Christ. My dear friends, you must bear in mind that conversion is simply an enlisting in the army of Jesus. The battles and the hard bivouacs are yet before you. Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it We want to impress it upon the mind of every young convert that the real con ict has only be gun, and they have done no more than to put on their armor and enroll their names.
