Gospel Archery and the Mighty Hunters of Faith
In a sermon style akin to a nineteenth century address, the speaker likens Christian work to archery. He urges personal consecration and bold, unseen outreach, comparing gospel arrows to ancient longbows. He calls believers to hunt for souls, confront social evils like temperance, and bring converts into the church as a ready encampment.
