Christ! And this, too, when we have the promise, "If any of you lack
wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and
upbraideth not: and it shall be given him."

"Now if I could tell you," said a pastor to an unsaved business man, who
had been relating how much a friend had helped him in business, "how
much Christ has helped me, and what he has been to me, I believe I could
win you to him."

The value of tact was well illustrated in an incident which occurred
during Mr. Finney's meetings in New York City. The big cutlery firm of
Sheffield, England, had a branch house in New York. The manager was a
partner of the firm, and very worldly. One of his clerks, who had been
converted in the meetings, invited his employer to attend. One evening
he was there, and sat just across the aisle from Mr. Arthur Tappan. He
appeared affected during the sermon, and Mr. Tappan kept his eye on him.
After the dismissal, Mr. Tappan stepped quickly across the aisle,
introduced himself, and invited him to stay for the after-service. The
gentleman tried to excuse himself and get away, but Mr. Tappan caught
hold of the button on his coat and said, "Now, do stay; I know you will
enjoy it;" and he was so kind and gentlemanly that the cutlery man could
not very well refuse. He staid, and was converted. Afterwards he said,
"An ounce of weight upon my coat-button saved my soul."

To watch for opportunity, and then to know how effectively to make use
of the opportunity, is all-important in soul-winning. And there is no
better teacher than the Holy Spirit, of whom it is said, "He shall teach
you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance."
