Former Office
Worker is Now
Lay Evangelist
By LOUIS CASSELS
United Piess International
Harry Denman is a disturb
ing kind of Christian.
He takes seriously an aspect
of Christian teaching that
most church members prefer
not to think about: The re
sponsibility of every layman
to be an outspoken "witness"
for Jesus Christ.
For more than 30 years,
Denman has been . talking
about religion, quietly and un
affectedly, to taxi drivers, de
partment store clerks, pull-
man porters and virtually
everyone else he meets. Billy
Graham calls his "the great
est practitioner of personal
evangelism in America."
Denman is not the brash
kind of extrovert who finds
it easy to strike up conver
sations with strangers.' By na
ture, he is a sensitive and
diffident man. He carries on
his private evangelistic cru
sade because he is convinced
that "Jesus was speaking to
all Christians not merely to
ministers when he said, 'ye
"Do you really believe that
the average housewife or busi
nessman could do the kind of
'witnessing' you do? I asked
Denman in an interview.
"Yes," he replied. "Anyone
can do it if he tries. It s like
jumping unde:-- a cold shower
After you get under, it's all
right."
Was Office Worker
Denman was an office
worker for a Birmingham,
Ala., industrial firm when he
began his career as a lay
evangelist. Although he is
still technically a layman in
the sense that he has never
been ordained he now de
votes full time to church
work. Since 1940, he has
served as general secretary
of the Methodist Board of
Evangelism at Nashville,
Tenn..
. He was extremely reluctant
to talk about himself or his
work, but he opened up when
the conversation switched to a
layman's opportunities for
evangelism.
"Your basic witness is the
kind of life you lead," he said.
"A sincere: Christian can
have a profound effect on the
people around him without
saying a word about religion.
But the same. Christian will
accomplish far more for the
kingdom of God if he learns
to witness with his lips as well
as his life.
Many Ways to Accomplish
"There are many ways of
doing it. It is easier, usually,
to start with someone you
know. If you have new neigh
bors and notice that they stay
at home on Sunday morning,
you have an opening to invite
them to go to your church
with' you. They may accept
your invitation or they may
tell you that the don't belisve
in going to church. Either way,
you have a chance to talkjto
them about Christ. -
Won't people resent such
overtures and treat you as an
unwelcome meddler in their
personal affairs.
"I've talked to a good many
thousands of people, and I've
never met one who resented
it," said Denman. "You cannot
"O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good ; for
his steadfast Jove endures for ever! Psalms 107:1.
