The cause of Christ needs men as well

The ministry of women in Christ's cause can never be overestimated.

Women's tears are precious as they are poured out on the paths of human suffering.

Women's hands are soft and gentle as they minister in the sick room, in the hospital, in the home of poverty.

Women's words are mighty as they come welling up from the bottom of loving hearts, in pleading with lost ones.

Women's works are beautiful as they are wrought over all the world, in the name of Jesus.

Women's power is well-near omnipotent when anointed by the Holy Spirit.

Women's influence is most blessed in home and school and church.

Yet, blessed and beautiful and mighty as is the service which the women are rendering to their Lord — the cause of Christ needs men as well .

Men of courage are needed to stand in the front ranks of truth, to resist and hurl back the assaults of the enemy.

Men with keen intellect are needed to meet the sophistries of error and the subtle attacks of infidelity and false teaching.

Men with fine business abilities are needed to carry on the secular affairs of God's house.

Men with wealth are needed to lay monetary gifts upon the altar to forward the interests of Christ's kingdom.

Holy men are needed to witness for Christ in the face of His enemies.

Men with eloquent tongues and burning hearts are needed to go into all the dark places of the cities, into the purlieus of vice, into the homes of sin — to tell the story of the love cf God and of the cross of the Redeemer!

Men of tender heart and loving sympathy and gentle touch are needed . . .

to give comfort to the world's sorrow,

to help the tempted in their battles, and

to rescue the perishing out of their bondage to sin and Satan!

"Be men of courage; be strong!" 1 Corinthians 16:13
