Excerpt from Personal Evangelism Among Students: Studies in the Practice of Friendship in School and College This volume is the second of a series of handbooks which attempt to suggest some of the tested methods by which Christianity may be effectively presented to specialized groups of men. The first volume dealt with the "Practice of Friendship in Army and Navy." It was issued during the second year of our participation in the European conflict, and represented the combined experience of enlisted man, officer, and War Work Secretary in the approach to the soldier and sailor mind under the peculiar strain and abnormal conditions of war. In the present volume, "Personal Evangelism among Students," a similar attempt has been made to present the combined experience of pupil, teacher, and Student Secretary, in their efforts to reveal Christian truth to men during a less abnormal but still somewhat disturbed period - the restless years of higher education.

CHAPTER VI THE GOAL OF THE PRACTICE OF FRIENDSHIP We have already defined evangelism as the art of helping men in their quest for complete living, and personal evangelism as the attempt to assist men in attaining that goal through the processes of friendship. In the preceding chapter we have considered what some of these processes are, their costliness as well as their compelling power, as revealed in the life and teaching of Jesus. It remains for us to consider what we mean by complete living--the abundant life, which Jesus set as His goal in His practice of friendship among men, and which He intended should be not only every human being's birthright but also his actual achievement. No thoughtful man can look into the eyes of a group of school boys or college men as they stand on life's threshold, eager, ingenuous, responsive, with powers unabated, without picturing to himself in fancy what they may become. Some are to make a success of life; others, complete or partial failure. So much is sure. But no man, not the most skilled analyst of human character, can predict in which of even these two broadest of divisions--the successes or the failures--any one of the group will be found when life's work is done. Gladly would we give our all to make just this one fundamental choice between success and failure for even the least of the group, but this we are sadly conscious we cannot do. The least of these is master of his fate. He "inherits from thousands, from hundreds of thousands of ancestors. The blood of many families and tribes and races is mingled in his veins. There are many men potential in every man, and which of them is to emerge he chooses for himself by a thousand silent moral preferences."1 Before the sovereign power of decision of a lad of sevente...

A massive and comprehensive history of the Civil War and Allied intervention in Russia after the 1917 revolution which brought the Bolsheviks to power. Particularly rich in maps and photos, Stewart's account shows clearly why the diffuse and disunited Whites were no match for the single-minded and ruthless Reds.
