I. THE KIND OF WORK TO BE DONE.

1. Not to swell denominational ranks, although that may be a consequence.

2. But to

(1)  "Find,"

(2)  "Tell,"

(3)  "Bring."

II. THIS WORK CAN ONLY BE DONE BY THOSE WHO HAVE FOUND CHRIST THEMSELVES.

1. Not unbelievers —

2. Not worldly professors.

3. But those who love and are in union with Christ.

III. THE SPECIAL DIRECTION OF EFFORT. Our brother:

1. Literally.

2. Socially.

3. Nationally.

4. Universally, for "God hath made of one blood all the nations of men."

IV. THE ULTIMATE AIM. To bring our brother to Jesus.

V. THE SPECIFIC MEANS — individual personal effort.

1. Subscription to a missionary society does not relieve us from this. If you were to see a man drowning it would be a poor excuse for not helping that you gave a sum to the Royal Humane Society.

2. Andrew himself brought his brother to Christ.

3. Andrew brought his brother to Christ before he was commissioned to do so. The grand weakness of our Church membership is the failure to realize that every man who is made a Christian is made a missionary.

(J. Culross, D. D.)
