For it " is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the Vulture's eye hath not seen ; the lion's whelp lath not traveled it, nor the fierce lion passed by it." - Job. 28: 7, 3.

And being absolutely pure, kind of lions, and - vultures, and ravenous , and free from all sin and moral pollution, by the all sweeping application of the blood of Christ, we can , never become more so in this world and through all eter-nity in the world to come.' Renee there is no proggess that can he made in the purity of the wholly sanctified. 0 praise God for this fact! Since purity of heart is the great condition of entering Heaven, and seeing God in peace, how thankful we are that we can have that perfectly wrought now and here, soon after pardon, and can therefore be in a perfect state all our life, without spot, and blameless, ready for the revelation of Christ at any moment. This is the finished state in which " we are kept by the power of God, through faith ready to be revealed in the last time." Yea, not only ready, but joyfally- " looking for and haetening unto the coming of our Lord JesuS Christ." Amen I SoatE POINTS IN WHICH HOIthgESS Is PROGRESSIVE. We have seen that our nature and en-tire being is made perfectly pure in the instant of entire sanctification, and that ave can never become more pure within. But we can improve in the outward manifest-ation of inward purity. After the , heart is perfectly pure, it usually requires some time for the outward life to cast off all the force of former habits. Hence we may improve in the outward fruits of holiness. This is an important point in the Christian life. We should watch carefully, and de-tect every item in our conversation and deportment, that does not flow from, and is not in hasmony with Vie Holy Spirit, who dwells within, but is a relic of the farmer life, brought over by the force of habit. A boisterous unbecoming laugh, saying things you do not mean, all lightness in ' tg nog Ulas! to're or less cropped out all a'ong, hence he was not fit to represent this holy work, and necessttrily had to fall because he would not purge himself.

Holiness, we see, is a way as well as a state : a line of progress, a road to travel in, as well as a rock to stand upon. The way of holiness has reference to the ad-vaneement, or progress we mustmake after we are in the light. Many confessors of holiness seem not to have learned this idea \- positive.

HYGIENE FROM A BIBLE STANDPOINT. -: 0:- DEAR SaiNgs:- May the Lord bless you with all wisdom and spiritual understand-ing in all things. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and let him that glorieth glory in this that he understand-eth what the will of the Lord is. Amen ! How much suffering and sickness the peo-ple of God might avoid - if they only-derstood the Divine laws that govern our bodies. Yes I say divine laws, because our bodies are God's workmanship, and He has instituted certain laws or forces that work the machine, that causes our bodies to live, act, and move, as He designed they should. God says, " the bloed is the life," and the blood becomes pure or im-pure as the digestive organs - are treated lawfully, or abused. And if those ornns are overworked, or abused in any way, dis-ease is sure to follow. But " because sen-tence is not executed speedily, therelore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evild"- Eccl 3: 11. How can we glorify God with our bodies which are aPt- 1 at the same time transgress the physical laws that govern them ? Hence the Apostle Paul's injunction, " whatsoever you do, whether you eat or whether you drink do all to the glory of nothing."- James 1: 4. And yet the pur: God." He also speaks of some whose 5ocri n heart, come to points in their rch on is their belly."- Phil. 17- 19. Let their he way of holiness, when they do exper-ence a lack, and inward vacuum, and longing for something beyond their pre-sent attainment. At this junction satan may be ready to whisper, " you have lost tmctification," and thus try to cause you o cast away your confidence. And some, not understandin g the way of holinessanor he devices of satin draw back, instead of going forward. While there is such a thing as gradual growth in grace, it is true bat our divine elevations in the divine is a great s. ource of evil. But so inany life are chiefly by epochs. Like the canal, people are ignorant in regard to the laws we keep pretty much on °- bre lev• el for of health that they kill themselves with some distance, and then, as the boat isrun improper diet; they eat as it - were in into a lock, and the gates are closed- behind darkness. it, and the flood gates opened before, the boat is elevated, and after a- short delay n the opeaation of locking imp, it moves on again on a higher plain, until it reaches spiritual sea morn; cold ark walI s se transgsress we must sillier the atripes. But ed, and the soul seems dissatisfied, and from evil: he that keepeth his way pre-experience, by such an impassable wall. But the straightened place the soul has got in-to, moves to earnest praa- ers until the fllood gates of heaven open before us, and the soul moves on again- on the higher plain of a new experience. So when you feel a want in your soul do not allow the devil to tempt you that yon have lost salvation'. out t] 13midst of babylon and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off' in her iniquity; for this is the time of the Lord's vengeance; he will render unto her a recompense.

While therefore in-ward cleansing of our nature is an instan-taneous, and forever finiShied work of Grace, its carta ad manifestation is pro gressive. • Again, all the'Ohristian graces are real-ly planted in the soul by regeneration, their opposites removed in entire: sanctifi-cation, and their development, and ea-largement continues on through life. The new birth begets humility, meekness, kind ness, charity, benevolence, sympathy, love, pity, gentleness, longsuffering, and all the rest of the beautiful clusters of graces, in our heart. But the opposites exist in the old man, or inbred evil nature, and these two classes of elements are against each other. Hence the necessity of converted people putting off the old man. Eph. 21. When this second. work is wrought, all these inborn evil elements are destroy-ed. and the new life is left unencumbered. Both the implanting of the new life, and the ddeestsrturucctitionof the old are instanta-neous and unprogressive works. But after that comes the growth and everlasting de-velopment of the graces. • " Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises ; that by these ye might be partaken of the ivine nature, having eScap 2d the corrtia-ion that is in the world throughlust.

Accordingly we labored with her for her deliverance in Cheshire, Alle-gan Co., Mich. But all Or efforts were stubbornly disregarded. Afterward we wrote her admonishing her to get rid of her highly inflated fancies of the devil. There was jest, enough humility - manifest in reply, to justify us in withholding pub-lic reprovale and awaiting further develop-ments.

This is a ridiculous asser-tion. The Church of God is a perfect Church and cannot be reformed or im-proved. And any Church that needs ref-ormation is not Gods Church. It is claim-ed by fhe Mormons that Joseph Smith re-organized the Church of God. Did God found a Church that was so - imperfect as to need reforming by man?

The Lord witnessed - unto them by the baptism of the Holy Spirit With hunifileness and praises of God in their soulsty following in the footsteps of Christ.

All the 20 years I was unsettled; I knew the sect was not right, but did not know any better way. I often went to another sect, because I liked to hear them pray and testify. But was always dissatisfied, for it was revival in the winter, and in the . summer no time to serve the Lord. But now I have found salvation; and oh how happy I was when I saw Jesus in all His beauty in the even-ing light. Praise the Lord oh my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Now I stand in the liberty of the children of God, and have the sweet union with all the saints on earth. Jesus is all and in all to me. I have been trying to heal baby- Ion, but she is not healed : neither can she be, because Jesus is the Church and no sect babylon.

I am saved this afternoon and sanctified, and have a sweet peace in my . soul which nothing can disturb. It truly is a well of water springing up in my soul continually. I feel that the Lord leads me to tell you a little of my experience. Four years ago the Lord saved my soul.- About one year from that time I consecrated for sanctifi-cation. I was a member of the F. M. sect, but was walking in all the light I had at that time. I never heard the true light preached in all its purity until a year ago last spring when Bro. Grover came to our neighborhood. I then began searching the scriptures until I was convinced that baby-ion meant the sects, and . God was calling IEs people out of her.

DEAR TRUMPET READERS:— I want to tes-tily to the glory of God of the healing of my baby. She is four montha old, and had been sick the most of her life. We tried medical aid but it failed. - I felt lead at different times to write to the Trumpet Office for the prayers of the saints. I spoke to sister Faris about ' it, and she wrote the letter for me. We obeyed God and sent for the elders of the church ; They anointed her in the name of our Lord and Master, and praise His holy namb, my baby is recovering. Pray for . me that in the future I may trust God- for my physi-cian. I feel that I have not given God the glory as _ I should, for His goodness and mercy to me. The dear Lord healed me about two years ago this fall of a long standing disease. I felt that the work was done instantly. Last winter my daughter had whooping cough, and the elders laid hands on her, and she was heal-ed. I do praise God to- night for victory in my soul, and I do love to do God's will. I am saved and sanctified. When the dear Lord saved me, He cleansed all sect-ism out of my soul, and all worldly things. We have a glorious little Church in this place.

Now while I be-lieve in honoring God and His Word by taking Christ for our healer, I believe in honoring Him still farther by eating and drinking to the glory of God and adopting that manner of living that will keep us from getting sick. Let us therefore obey the divine laws that govern our body, and crucify the affections and lusts that war against the soul; then we shall be fit sub-jects to inherit the new earth and. not an inhabitant shall say I am sick. He that overcometh shall inherit all things. That includes the tree of life, " blessed is he that doeth my commandments that he may have a rigl t to the tree of life' Rev. 22: 14. to him that ovecometh will Pgive to eat of the tree of life; which is in the midst of the paradise of God."

" And He gave some apostles; and some prophets: and some evangelists: and some pastors and teachers for the perfect-ing of the saints, for the work of the minis-try, for the edifying of the body of Christ." Epha 4: 11- 12. I believe I have my place in the body of Christ, and I have long felt the spirit prompting me to write on this subject, and lay before God's people this portion of scripture, which others have neglected to present, hoping and praying that the Lord will bless it to the good of His people. I remain your humble brother saved sanctified healed and kept by the power of God. through faith unto salvation both soul and body. Amen A. M. Brown. LOVE NOT THE WORLD. + 0+ T'- e0VE not the world, neit her the things that are in the world. If any man Love the world, the love of the Father is not in Him.-- 1 John. 2: 15. This is a sub-ject that is worthy of our attention and deserves our deepest thought. Many get over zealone, and become fanatic on this subject : even manifesting hatred toward sinners, which causes persecution that is not for righteousness sake. Jesus said: " Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake:. for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."- - Matt. 5:). 0. - We have no promise of the blessing if we prove by our action that we hate men ; and by. so doing cause them to hate- and persecute us. " Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee."- Prov. 9: 8. It is a mis-taken idea among the saints that we manifest a spirit of fight or hatred toward sinners. Jesus said also in this fifth chapter of Matt. 44 verse. " But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you." " Well" says one, " the- text say" " love not the world neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world the love of the Father is not in him. Let us see what the love of the Father is. " For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life."- John. 3: 16. " But Ged command-eth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."- Rom. 5: 8. " Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down His life for us."- 1 John. 3' 16.* " He that loveth net, knoweth not God : for God is love." In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because, that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him." 4: 9. We see by these scriptures that the love of the Father toward the world was eat; and as the Father and Son are one, the Son's love also is great. - Jesus when upon the earth manifested His love to the world in diffdreot waya. At one time He was seen at a publicans table feasting with sinners their came the old grumbling Pharisees saying., " Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners"? We hear the same pharisaical sound to- day among those that have a zeal not accord-ing to knowledge, saying " you must not patronize sinners." You must not visit sinners nor be found in their company. Jesus said : " they that are whole need not a physician ; but they that are sick." ame not to call the righteous, but sinners repentance.- Luke 5: 27- 32. • The Word teaches us that there is lass of persons we should not company. S it sinners that • make no profession? ( Continued froh ist page.) ner of meat, and. they draw near to the gates of death. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them' out of their distresses."- Psa. 107: 17- 19. I know God says, " let no ma'i judge you in meats or drinks. But this simply means we are not under the old cermothal law. But if people would judge them-selves by the Word, and abstain from glut-tonous habits and sub: tante bread and watengraham and oatmeal, beef, vegetables and fruit, and such things as God can bless, instead of bolted bread, pie, cake, and all manner of condiments, and swines flesh, which-- is a curse to any one that eats there-of, and be temperate in' all things, using this world as not abusing it, then we might almost defy disease. " Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. A thousand shalffall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come nigh thee." Glory to God for-ever .? Wherever we see the bill of fare given for God's people, it is very plain fare. When the angels of the Lord visited A-bra'hana. he set before his royal guests bread, butter, milk and veal. Gen. 18: 5- S. A simple stew of venison was a favor-ate food for Isaac.. David says, " let me not eat of the dainties of them that work iniquity."- Psa. 111: 1. Solomon says when thou sittest to eat with a ruler cnn-sider diligently what is before thee: and put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite : be not desirous of hi dainties: for they are deceitful meat." Prey 23: 1- 5. Daniel refused to eat of the King's fare hut chose a simple dish called " pulse," ( which was a cereal, or grain. And at the end of tendays was much fat ter an- 1 fairer in face than those that ate the kings - meat."- Dan. 1: 12- 15. Whei Christ appeared to the twelve, He said have you any meat? and they gave him l• fish and a lieneycomb. When Chris prepared a breakfast for His disciples i was only bread and fish. When He fe( the twelve thousand, it was bread and fish When the prodigal retuned to_ his fa ther's houseshe did not prepare a roast pig but the fatted calf'. Now this is sufficien to show that God's people in all ages hay been plain livers. Peter says the part 6 our life may suffice us to have wrough the will of the Gentiles when aye walk ed in lasciviousness, lasts, excess o wine, revellings, banquetings, and„ abomi iiableidolatries."- 1 Peter 4: 3. Webste gives the definith n of rcvellings as feast ing of banqueting; as feasting, entertain ing with rich fare. Partaking of rich fare so you see whether we entertain other with rich dainty fare, or partake onrs'elve we break the commandment. Paul say they that do such things shall not inheri the kingdom of Cod.-( al. a: 12. Pete and Paul both place gluttony - with th works of the flesh. " If we live after th flesh * e shall die."- Rom. 8: 13. A. pru dent man foreseeth the evil, and hidet1 . himself: but the simple pass on and are punished. But Daniel purposed in hi heart that he would not defile himsel with the portion of the king's meat.- Dan 1: 8. The Word says, our bodies are the temple of God. Paul says, " he that de fileth the temple, him shall God destroy.' So then let us who profess to be the chil dren of God, see to it that holiness to the Lord is written in all our pots, and ves-sels as Zech. prophesies it shall be. Zech 11: 20, 21. Yes dear saints of the Living God, there must be a great health reform brought about before Isaiah's prophecy can be fulfilled. " For behold I create new heavens, and a new earth and the former shall not he remembered nor come into mind ; but be ye glad and rejoice forever in that which I• create : for behold I cre-ate Jerusalem a rejoicing and her people a joy. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people ; and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not fulfilled his days, for the child shall die an hundred year, old : but the shiner being a hundred years old shall be accursed."---- Isa. 65: 17- 21. " And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick : The people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquities."--- Isa. 33: 24. It is not in the order of God that His redeemed ones should be sick, for Christ came to redeem us from the, curse of the aw, ( of which sickness was a prominent eat tire) for He made a complete atone-cut for both soul and body. • For hhiffi elf lcok our infirmities and bare our sicknesses." Matt. 8: 17, and " Ile hatly Let us see what the Apostles say about it. " I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators : yet not alto-gether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then ye must need go out of the world. But now I have written unto you, not to keep company, if any man. that is • CALLED A BROTHER. be afornica-tor, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer or a drunkard, or an extortioner : with such an one no not to eat.- 1 Gor. 5: 9- U. " A man that is an heretic, after the first and second admonition, reject; know ing that he that is such, is subverted, and sin-neth, being condemned of himself."- Titus. 3: 10, 11. ." Now we command you, breth-ren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every BROTHER that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us." 2 Them. 3: 6. " If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God's speed."- 2 John. 10. By these scrip-hires we learn that it is the heady, high-minded, ungodly professer that we must abstain from their company; and not the poor sinner that never knows God. The Word s vs: " Serve not the world." Now this cannot signify that we love not men : that would make a contaadiction in the Word of God, which is impossible. Where there is a contradiction there is alie. " God can-not lie." What then? Must we make the Wcrd untrue? God forbid. " Let God be true and every man a liar." The Apostle means that we love not the carnal nature of man, or the sin that is in man. No meaning that we should hate the man oi that we should not be a friend to sinners James says 4: 4. Ye adulterers and adu ' t eresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whoso eventheref ore, will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." Having referenc to the lust of the flesh: being a friend to the warld to lust with them. As we se in the verses before this. " Ye lust, and have not: ye kill and desire to have and V cannot obtain: ye fight and war, ye hay mit, bscause ye ask not. Ye ask, and receiv not,. because ye ask amiss, that ye ma consume it upon your lusts." Therefor He says ' " The friendship of the world i enmity with God." Not that we should be distant toward sinners or refrain theii company. But we should love them and do them all the good we can, admonishing and teaching them the ways of life and salvation. Not partaking of their sins oi following after their fleshly ways. For they that are after the flesh, do mind the things of the flesh: but they that are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spirtually minded is life and peace.- Rom. 8: 5- 6. Now let us notice, " the things in the world." " For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eye and the pride of life, is not of' the Father but is of the world. Now this world as spoken here, signifies, all that is contained in the fleshly mind. It constitutes a world of lust and sin, in the same sense that Jesus spoke of the tongue. " And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquiteen_ James. 3: 6. • Paul classifies the works of the flesh, which are the same that John spoke of as being the things of the world. •'. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, tmcl e n ness, I asei v io usness, id ola t ry, wi tch-craft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditious, heresies, en vyings, mur-ders, drunkenness, revellings , and such like: of the which I tell you befcre, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."- Gal. 5: 19- 21. Thee( are the THINGS we should hate, we should fight, we should not fellowship. These are things the Apostle meant when he said: " Love not the world nor the things in the world." Jesus says : " Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitfully use you, arid persecute you."- Matt. 5: 44. As we have, th s refore, op-portunity, let us do good ' ant° all men especially unto them who are of the house-hold of faith.- Gal. 6: 10. " And the ser-vant of the Lord must not strive; but 1- e gentle unto all men, apt to teaclapatient." 2 Tim. 2: 21. " Follow peace with all men, and holiness without which no man shall see the Lord."- Heb. 12: 14.

The Word says, we must come up through much tribulation, and he that would live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecutions ; but He has promised to be a present help in time of need. I praise God for His healing power. I was taken violently sick last April, and. com-plied with the Word. and was healed in-stantly. Also last camp- meeting, Bro. Warner and sister Smith laid hands on me for the healing of bodily infirmities _ of long standing, and was- healed for which I give God all glory. I do praise God for His saving and keeping power. He has saved me from the use of tobacco, tea, and coffee seven years ago after an excessive use for thirty two years. Paul says, cleanse yourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

Renee there is no proggess that can he made in the purity of the wholly sanctified. 0 praise God for this fact! Since purity of heart is the great condition of entering Heaven, and seeing God in peace, how thankful we are that we can have that perfectly wrought now and here, soon after pardon, and can therefore be in a perfect state all our life, without spot, and blameless, ready for the revelation of Christ at any moment. This is the finished state in which " we are kept by the power of God, through faith ready to be revealed in the last time." Yea, not only ready, but joyfally- " looking for and haetening unto the coming of our Lord JesuS Christ." Amen I SoatE POINTS IN WHICH HOIthgESS Is PROGRESSIVE. We have seen that our nature and en-tire being is made perfectly pure in the instant of entire sanctification, and that ave can never become more pure within. But we can improve in the outward manifest-ation of inward purity. After the , heart is perfectly pure, it usually requires some time for the outward life to cast off all the force of former habits. Hence we may improve in the outward fruits of holiness. This is an important point in the Christian life. We should watch carefully, and de-tect every item in our conversation and deportment, that does not flow from, and is not in hasmony with Vie Holy Spirit, who dwells within, but is a relic of the farmer life, brought over by the force of habit. A boisterous unbecoming laugh, saying things you do not mean, all lightness in ' tg nog Ulas! to're or less cropped out all a'ong, hence he was not fit to represent this holy work, and necessttrily had to fall because he would not purge himself.

Holiness, we see, is a way as well as a state : a line of progress, a road to travel in, as well as a rock to stand upon. The way of holiness has reference to the ad-vaneement, or progress we mustmake after we are in the light. Many confessors of holiness seem not to have learned this idea \- positive.

HYGIENE FROM A BIBLE STANDPOINT. -: 0:- DEAR SaiNgs:- May the Lord bless you with all wisdom and spiritual understand-ing in all things. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and let him that glorieth glory in this that he understand-eth what the will of the Lord is. Amen ! How much suffering and sickness the peo-ple of God might avoid - if they only-derstood the Divine laws that govern our bodies. Yes I say divine laws, because our bodies are God's workmanship, and He has instituted certain laws or forces that work the machine, that causes our bodies to live, act, and move, as He designed they should. God says, " the bloed is the life" and the blood becomes pure or im-pure as the digestive organs - are treated lawfully, or abused. And if those ornns are overworked, or abused in any way, dis-ease is sure to follow. But " because sen-tence is not executed speedily, therelore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evild"- Eccl 3: 11. How can we glorify God with our bodies which are aPt- 1 at the same time transgress the physical laws that govern them ? Hence the Apostle Paul's injunction, " whatsoever you do, whether you eat or whether you drink do all to the glory of nothing."- James 1: 4. And yet the pur: God." He also speaks of some whose 5ocri n heart, come to points in their rch on is their belly."- Phil. 17- 19. Let their he way of holiness, when they do exper-ence a lack, and inward vacuum, and longing for something beyond their pre-sent attainment. At this junction satan may be ready to whisper, " you have lost tmctification" and thus try to cause you o cast away your confidence. And some, not understandin g the way of holinessanor he devices of satin draw back, instead of going forward. While there is such a thing as gradual growth in grace, it is true bat our divine elevations in the divine is a great s. ource of evil. But so inany life are chiefly by epochs. Like the canal, people are ignorant in regard to the laws we keep pretty much on °- bre lev• el for of health that they kill themselves with some distance, and then, as the boat isrun improper diet; they eat as it - were in into a lock, and the gates are closed- behind darkness. it, and the flood gates opened before, the boat is elevated, and after a- short delay n the opeaation of locking imp, it moves on again on a higher plain, until it reaches spiritual sea morn; cold ark walI s se transgsress we must sillier the atripes.

But the straightened place the soul has got in-to, moves to earnest praa- ers until the fllood gates of heaven open before us, and the soul moves on again- on the higher plain of a new experience.

While therefore in-ward cleansing of our nature is an instan-taneous, and forever finiShied work of Grace, its carta ad manifestation is pro gressive. • Again, all the'Ohristian graces are real-ly planted in the soul by regeneration, their opposites removed in entire: sanctifi-cation, and their development, and ea-largement continues on through life. The new birth begets humility, meekness, kind ness, charity, benevolence, sympathy, love, pity, gentleness, longsuffering, and all the rest of the beautiful clusters of graces, in our heart. But the opposites exist in the old man, or inbred evil nature, and these two classes of elements are against each other. Hence the necessity of converted people putting off the old man. Eph. 21. When this second. work is wrought, all these inborn evil elements are destroy-ed. and the new life is left unencumbered. Both the implanting of the new life, and the ddeestsrturucctitionof the old are instanta-neous and unprogressive works. But after that comes the growth and everlasting de-velopment of the graces. • " Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises ; that by these ye might be partaken of the ivine nature, having eScap 2d the corrtia-ion that is in the world throughlust.

Accordingly we labored with her for her deliverance in Cheshire, Alle-gan Co., Mich. But all Or efforts were stubbornly disregarded. Afterward we wrote her admonishing her to get rid of her highly inflated fancies of the devil. There was jest, enough humility - manifest in reply, to justify us in withholding pub-lic reprovale and awaiting further develop-ments.

A silly old man ever in III. who is pub-lishing aditte paper for the glory of Mrs. Woodsworth, said; t John Winebrenner never claimed to be. the founder of the Church but he and six other ministers, claimed to be the means of reforming the Church of God. This is a ridiculous asser-tion. The Church of God is a perfect Church and cannot be reformed or im-proved. And any Church that needs ref-ormation is not Gods Church. It is claim-ed by fhe Mormons that Joseph Smith re-organized the Church of God. Did God found a Church that was so - imperfect as to need reforming by man? Or so poorly organized, that Smith had to organize it over, to keep itfrom tumbling down?

And rose to walk in newness of life. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death we hall be also in the likeness of His resurrection. The one was an aged mother of 75' Years. The Lord witnessed - unto them by the baptism of the Holy Spirit With hunifileness and praises of God in their soulsty following in the footsteps of Christ.

All the 20 years I was unsettled; I knew the sect was not right, but did not know any better way. I often went to another sect, because I liked to hear them pray and testify. But was always dissatisfied, for it was revival in the winter, and in the . summer no time to serve the Lord. But now I have found salvation; and oh how happy I was when I saw Jesus in all His beauty in the even-ing light. Praise the Lord oh my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name! Now I stand in the liberty of the children of God, and have the sweet union with all the saints on earth. Jesus is all and in all to me.

Now while I be-lieve in honoring God and His Word by taking Christ for our healer, I believe in honoring Him still farther by eating and drinking to the glory of God and adopting that manner of living that will keep us from getting sick. Let us therefore obey the divine laws that govern our body, and crucify the affections and lusts that war against the soul; then we shall be fit sub-jects to inherit the new earth and. not an inhabitant shall say I am sick. He that overcometh shall inherit all things. That includes the tree of life, " blessed is he that doeth my commandments that he may have a rigl t to the tree of life' Rev. 22: 14. to him that ovecometh will Pgive to eat of the tree of life; which is in the midst of the paradise of God." Amen! All scriptfires are given by inspiration of God, and are prof-itable for doctrine, for reprof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works" 2 Tim. 3: 16- 17. " And He gave some apostles; and some prophets: and some evangelists: and some pastors and teachers for the perfect-ing of the saints, for the work of the minis-try, for the edifying of the body of Christ." Epha 4: 11- 12. I believe I have my place in the body of Christ, and I have long felt the spirit prompting me to write on this subject, and lay before God's people this portion of scripture, which others have neglected to present, hoping and praying that the Lord will bless it to the good of His people. I remain your humble brother saved sanctified healed and kept by the power of God. through faith unto salvation both soul and body. Amen A. M. Brown. LOVE NOT THE WORLD. + 0+ T'- e0VE not the world, neit her the things that are in the world. If any man Love the world, the love of the Father is not in Him.-- 1 John. 2: 15. This is a sub-ject that is worthy of our attention and deserves our deepest thought. Many get over zealone, and become fanatic on this subject : even manifesting hatred toward sinners, which causes persecution that is not for righteousness sake. Jesus said: " Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness sake:. for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."- - Matt. 5:). 0. - We have no promise of the blessing if we prove by our action that we hate men ; and by. so doing cause them to hate- and persecute us. " Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee."- Prov. 9: 8. It is a mis-taken idea among the saints that we manifest a spirit of fight or hatred toward sinners. Jesus said also in this fifth chapter of Matt. 44 verse. " But I say unto you, love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you." " Well" says one, " the- text say" " love not the world neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world the love of the Father is not in him. Let us see what the love of the Father is. " For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have everlasting life."- John. 3: 16. " But Ged command-eth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."- Rom. 5: 8. " Hereby perceive we the love of God, because He laid down His life for us."- 1 John. 3' 16.* " He that loveth net, knoweth not God : for God is love." In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because, that God sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him." 4: 9. We see by these scriptures that the love of the Father toward the world was eat; and as the Father and Son are one, the Son's love also is great. - Jesus when upon the earth manifested His love to the world in diffdreot waya. At one time He was seen at a publicans table feasting with sinners their came the old grumbling Pharisees saying., " Why do ye eat and drink with publicans and sinners"? We hear the same pharisaical sound to- day among those that have a zeal not accord-ing to knowledge, saying " you must not patronize sinners." You must not visit sinners nor be found in their company. Jesus said : " they that are whole need not a physician ; but they that are sick." ame not to call the righteous, but sinners repentance.- Luke 5: 27- 32. • The Word teaches us that there is lass of persons we should not company. S it sinners that • make no profession? ( Continued froh ist page.) ner of meat, and. they draw near to the gates of death. Then they cry unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saveth them' out of their distresses."- Psa. 107: 17- 19. I know God says, " let no ma'i judge you in meats or drinks. But this simply means we are not under the old cermothal law. But if people would judge them-selves by the Word, and abstain from glut-tonous habits and sub: tante bread and watengraham and oatmeal, beef, vegetables and fruit, and such things as God can bless, instead of bolted bread, pie, cake, and all manner of condiments, and swines flesh, which-- is a curse to any one that eats there-of, and be temperate in' all things, using this world as not abusing it, then we might almost defy disease. " Surely He shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. A thousand shalffall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come nigh thee." Glory to God for-ever .? Wherever we see the bill of fare given for God's people, it is very plain fare. When the angels of the Lord visited A-bra'hana. he set before his royal guests bread, butter, milk and veal. Gen. 18: 5- S. A simple stew of venison was a favor-ate food for Isaac.. David says, " let me not eat of the dainties of them that work iniquity."- Psa. 111: 1. Solomon says when thou sittest to eat with a ruler cnn-sider diligently what is before thee: and put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite : be not desirous of hi dainties: for they are deceitful meat." Prey 23: 1- 5. Daniel refused to eat of the King's fare hut chose a simple dish called " pulse" ( which was a cereal, or grain. And at the end of tendays was much fat ter an- 1 fairer in face than those that ate the kings - meat."- Dan. 1: 12- 15. Whei Christ appeared to the twelve, He said have you any meat? and they gave him l• fish and a lieneycomb. When Chris prepared a breakfast for His disciples i was only bread and fish. When He fe( the twelve thousand, it was bread and fish When the prodigal retuned to_ his fa ther's houseshe did not prepare a roast pig but the fatted calf'. Now this is sufficien to show that God's people in all ages hay been plain livers. Peter says the part 6 our life may suffice us to have wrough the will of the Gentiles when aye walk ed in lasciviousness, lasts, excess o wine, revellings, banquetings, and„ abomi iiableidolatries."- 1 Peter 4: 3. Webste gives the definith n of rcvellings as feast ing of banqueting; as feasting, entertain ing with rich fare. Partaking of rich fare so you see whether we entertain other with rich dainty fare, or partake onrs'elve we break the commandment. Paul say they that do such things shall not inheri the kingdom of Cod.-( al. a: 12. Pete and Paul both place gluttony - with th works of the flesh. " If we live after th flesh * e shall die."- Rom. 8: 13. A. pru dent man foreseeth the evil, and hidet1 . himself: but the simple pass on and are punished. But Daniel purposed in hi heart that he would not defile himsel with the portion of the king's meat.- Dan 1: 8. The Word says, our bodies are the temple of God. Paul says, " he that de fileth the temple, him shall God destroy.' So then let us who profess to be the chil dren of God, see to it that holiness to the Lord is written in all our pots, and ves-sels as Zech. prophesies it shall be. Zech 11: 20, 21. Yes dear saints of the Living God, there must be a great health reform brought about before Isaiah's prophecy can be fulfilled. " For behold I create new heavens, and a new earth and the former shall not he remembered nor come into mind ; but be ye glad and rejoice forever in that which I• create : for behold I cre-ate Jerusalem a rejoicing and her people a joy. And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people ; and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying. There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not fulfilled his days, for the child shall die an hundred year, old : but the shiner being a hundred years old shall be accursed."---- Isa. 65: 17- 21. " And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick : The people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquities."--- Isa. 33: 24. It is not in the order of God that His redeemed ones should be sick, for Christ came to redeem us from the, curse of the aw, ( of which sickness was a prominent eat tire) for He made a complete atone-cut for both soul and body. • For hhiffi elf lcok our infirmities and bare our sicknesses." Matt. 8: 17, and " Ile hatly Let us see what the Apostles say about it. " I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators : yet not alto-gether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then ye must need go out of the world. But now I have written unto you, not to keep company, if any man. that is • CALLED A BROTHER. be afornica-tor, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer or a drunkard, or an extortioner : with such an one no not to eat.- 1 Gor. 5: 9- U. " A man that is an heretic, after the first and second admonition, reject; know ing that he that is such, is subverted, and sin-neth, being condemned of himself."- Titus. 3: 10, 11. ." Now we command you, breth-ren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every BROTHER that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us." 2 Them. 3: 6. " If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God's speed."- 2 John. 10. By these scrip-hires we learn that it is the heady, high-minded, ungodly professer that we must abstain from their company; and not the poor sinner that never knows God. The Word s vs: " Serve not the world." Now this cannot signify that we love not men : that would make a contaadiction in the Word of God, which is impossible. Where there is a contradiction there is alie. " God can-not lie." What then? Must we make the Wcrd untrue? God forbid. " Let God be true and every man a liar." The Apostle means that we love not the carnal nature of man, or the sin that is in man. No meaning that we should hate the man oi that we should not be a friend to sinners James says 4: 4. Ye adulterers and adu ' t eresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whoso eventheref ore, will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God." Having referenc to the lust of the flesh: being a friend to the warld to lust with them. As we se in the verses before this. " Ye lust, and have not: ye kill and desire to have and V cannot obtain: ye fight and war, ye hay mit, bscause ye ask not. Ye ask, and receiv not,. because ye ask amiss, that ye ma consume it upon your lusts." Therefor He says ' " The friendship of the world i enmity with God." Not that we should be distant toward sinners or refrain theii company. But we should love them and do them all the good we can, admonishing and teaching them the ways of life and salvation. Not partaking of their sins oi following after their fleshly ways. For they that are after the flesh, do mind the things of the flesh: but they that are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spirtually minded is life and peace.- Rom. 8: 5- 6. Now let us notice, " the things in the world." " For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eye and the pride of life, is not of' the Father but is of the world. Now this world as spoken here, signifies, all that is contained in the fleshly mind. It constitutes a world of lust and sin, in the same sense that Jesus spoke of the tongue. " And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquiteen_ James. 3: 6. • Paul classifies the works of the flesh, which are the same that John spoke of as being the things of the world. •'. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, tmcl e n ness, I asei v io usness, id ola t ry, wi tch-craft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditious, heresies, en vyings, mur-ders, drunkenness, revellings , and such like: of the which I tell you befcre, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God."- Gal. 5: 19- 21. Thee( are the THINGS we should hate, we should fight, we should not fellowship. These are things the Apostle meant when he said: " Love not the world nor the things in the world." Jesus says : " Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitfully use you, arid persecute you."- Matt. 5: 44. As we have, th s refore, op-portunity, let us do good ' ant° all men especially unto them who are of the house-hold of faith.- Gal. 6: 10. " And the ser-vant of the Lord must not strive; but 1- e gentle unto all men, apt to teaclapatient." 2 Tim. 2: 21. " Follow peace with all men, and holiness without which no man shall see the Lord."- Heb. 12: 14.

Oh praise HEALED BY THE GREIT RHYSICI -: 0:- DEAR TRUMPET READ. ERS:- I do praise God this afternoon for His sanctifying and keeping power. The Word says, we must come up through much tribulation, and he that would live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecutions ; but He has promised to be a present help in time of need. I praise God for His healing power. I was taken violently sick last April, and. com-plied with the Word. and was healed in-stantly. Also last camp- meeting, Bro. Warner and sister Smith laid hands on me for the healing of bodily infirmities _ of long standing, and was- healed for which I give God all glory. I do praise God for His saving and keeping power. He has saved me from the use of tobacco, tea, and coffee seven years ago after an excessive use for thirty two years. Paul says, cleanse yourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. I fouad all these to be filthy and idol habits, and I nraise God there is no mere desire to be at the flesh pots of Egypt. My trust is all in the Lord. Your Do. saved ill Jesus' blood. M. A. Mercee.
