The Mission Work of Winning Souls
H. F. Burder, M.A. Proverbs 11:30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that wins souls is wise. 1. Missionary associations and enterprises take their rise out of the most enlightened and comprehensive views of human nature. 2. Missionary Societies employ the only expedient which has ever been known to act on human nature with the power of effecting a moral transformation. 3. Missionary enterprises proceed on the most enlightened views of the harmony between the instrumentality of man and the agency of God in the work of winning and saving souls. 4. The instrumentality employed secures the most glorious of all results to the instruments themselves. 5. Missionary operations are conducive, in a high degree, to the prevalence of the spirit of Christian union. (H. F. Burder, M.A.) Parallel Verses KJV: The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise. WEB: The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life. He who is wise wins souls.
