Excerpt from The Pastor His Own Evangelist: Methods, Texts, Seed Thoughts and Illustrations This book presents to us the ideal as regards evangelistic effort. There will always be a place in the Church for evangel ists who are called and equipped of God, and especially adapted by training and temperament to do a special work. I have always believed, and more firmly during the past few years than ever before, that the call to be an evangelist should be as distinct and clear as that which one receives to be a minister of the Gospel or a pastor of a Church. It ought to be true that every pastor would possess, in some slight degree at least, the gift to do evangelistic work, but even if this be true, neverthe less the fact remains as above stated, and in my own experience I was as clearly called to do the work to which I am now devot ing my life, as in the other days I was called to preach the Gospel in the church of a special congregation. However, I am clearly convinced that an evangelist cannot settle the prob lems of achurch, who as an emergency man is called to ren der a service which, when it is needed at all, is sorely needed. The only man of all others who can do this work and do it well, and do it continually, is the pastor himself. Any form of general evangelistic effort which does not leave him strong er in the afiection of his people is not worth while, and any evangelistic effort which fails to make his work easier when the special helper is gone, is not worthy of the name. Each pastor should be his own evangelist; at the same time, he should hold himself in readiness to assist his brother min isters. This is an ideal position to take and the suggestions made by the author of this book are practical and helpful.
