This book contains the substance of a series of messages delivered at the Evangelical Fellowship of India's 20th Anniversary Conference at Vellore during January 1971.

<p>
I do not speak here as one who has attained, but as one who is seeking grace from the Lord to press towards the mark, painfully conscious of the fact that I have a long way yet to go.
</p>
<p>
It has been my conviction that the Word of the Lord must be spoken faithfully, even if in the process the messenger himself is condemned by that Word. I therefore consider these messages as God's Word to my own heart first. They convict me at more than one point.
</p>
<p>
It pleased the Lord to bless this Word at the Conference because many all over the world were praying. It is now sent forth with the prayer that it may prove a blessing to many more.
</p>
<p>
The messages are reproduced here in their spoken form.

""What the Church needs today is nor more machinery or better, not new organizations or more and novel methods, but men whom the Holy Spirit can use... The Holy Spirit does not flow through methods but through men. He does not come on machinery but on men. He does not anoint plans but men...

Natural ability and educational advantages do not figure as factors in this matter; but capacity for faith, the ability to pray, the power of thorough consecration, the ability of self-littleness, an absolute losing of one's self in God's glory and an ever-present and satiable yearning and seeking after all the fullness of God-men who can set the Church ablaze for God; not in a noisy showy way, but with an intense and quiet heat that melts and moves every thing for God.
