There is nothing in the world like soul-winning. If you will only give
up yourself wholly to it, and let God fit you for it, He, who is no
respecter of persons, can do for you as much as for any other soul
whom He has called.
I have found one of the greatest helps to soul-winning, next to Bible
study and prayer, is the reading of helpful books. I know that the
officer who does her duty to the people has little free time, but I
used to make myself spend a certain time each day in study, and kept
a note book to make notes of any paragraph that impressed me so that
I would not forget the thoughts which inspired me. Have you read
'Tongues of Fire,' by William Arthur; S. D. Gordon's 'Quiet Talks on
Prayer'? To read such books on your knees, drinking in the wonderful
truths they set forth, would help you towards the realization of all
your desires.
Kate Lee loved girls in their teens, and they were much drawn to her.
Some officers who excel in helping the rag-tag class of young people, as
Kate Lee did, fight shy of those of refined training and better
education. This may possibly arise from a dread lest these keen young
folk may take their soundings and soon 'touch bottom' in many directions.
Kate feared nothing. Common-sense, an even balance, and true love count
most with the young, and of these qualities she had abundance.
