Gospel Archery and Mighty Hunters Before the Lord
A 1901 sermon by Dr. Talmage urges Christian workers to heightened fidelity and active outreach. It compares spiritual work to archery hunting, urging precise, courageous effort, outdoor mission camps, and bringing souls to the church, not just aiming. It warns against sloth and fear, calling for a widespread, mission-minded campaign to end in salvific conversion.
