I. That this Christian evangelization was preceded by private devotion.

II. That this Christian evangelization was accompanied by an earnest preaching of the truth.

III. That this Christian evangelization made use of the already existing agencies of the Church.

IV. That this Christian evangelization was just in its conception of work, in that it east the devil out of men. Lessons:

1. That evangelistic work requires and is worthy of the best talent that can be obtained.

2. That evangelistic work is ennobling to those who engage in it, as well as to those who are contemplated by it.

3. That evangelistic work has done much to cast the devil out of the masses of our large towns.

(J. S. Exell, M. A.)
