Excerpt from Every Church Its Own Evangelist The man has not yet appeared Who is to say the final word on evangelism, nor is the time ripe for saying it. The time is always ripe, however, for the recital Of experience in a field so vast and yet so vital, so comprehensive and yet so central, as the evangelistic field. Evangelism cannot be epitomized in a sen tence, it cannot be compassed in an epigram, it cannot be reduced to a formulary statement. It is so much a part Of the religious life Of the church that it cannot be galvanized into nu changing forms nor comprehended in unchang ing methods. If it is to reach the life Of the day, it must express itself in the nomenclature Of the people; if it is to Win in the midst Of the intense social and commercial struggles and allurements, it must adapt itself to modern methods, literally becoming all things to all men. This modest volume is not an attempt to present an exhaustive treatise in evangelism. It is not a statement Of theory nor a philosophy of evangelistic procedure.
