moro Important for us to open our henrt to
Him nnd have Him abide with us contin

John himself, its ho would not bo likely to

was that Andrew (which slgnlllis manly)

lor he henceforth live to bring men to Jesus
nnd mnke Jesus known to meu, mi l begins

4J. "And he brought him to Jesus." This
is the one thing to do -not bring him to a
church or prnyer meeting mrely, or to a
truth or doctrine, but to Jesus as a living
person. Andrew orottgni nun to jckus, who
was to dlu as a saorlllee, but wo tiring people
