God for this fact! Since purity of heart is

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

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.

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,

we are in the light. Many confessors of

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

cleansing of our nature is an instan-taneous,

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. •

Mrs. Elizabeth McCormack, of Iowa, who
has been traveling about as a Gospel
worker. Last winter it was made visible
that her fanatical whims, under the pre-tense
of high claim of discerning, were
disastrous to the cause of Christ, wherever
she went. 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.
And we are sorry to say that the
developments have proved decidedly of a
dark shady chat**, which requires all
saints to reject, and have no fellowship
with. She seems to have withdrawn en-tirely
without the range of the saints, and
from her parents knowledge of her where-aboutsIthee
vidences, and though circum-stances
are quite clear that she has gone
away in an illegal free- love union, May
God deliver them out of the snares of the
devil. It is probable that, unless restored
to God's grace, Slie will keep in unknown
parts, and therefore this exposure would
not be needed, nevertheless if this rebuke
is needed that enthees may fear. Even
though it may bo deemed a reproach on
the cause of Christ to let such abomina:
tions come to light. By the grace of God
we will uncover- and rebuke all the works
of the devil whekeever they exist.

Not less than 25 of God's holy ministers
were in attendance, and all spoke and la-bored

duly arranged by one person. One
showed how to consecrate and obtain
entire sanctification or holiness. Another
how to keep saved, another how to pro-gress
in holiness, another the life of hell

where more deep, strong and clear Gospel
was preached, nor where salvation work
wart more solid and thorough ; divine sol-idity
was a marked characteristic of this
meeting. The pure Word of God, backed
by the mighty Spirit of God, wrought ef-fectually
in the hearts of the people, and
as a result the altar seats were filled ahem

Our darling child, Oh can it be

Oh is it true, thy form we see
Is now as lifeless as the clay?
Our hearts bowed down in deepest grief,
Are yet submissive to thy will
Who gave to ns the tender leaf,
Whose mission did so soon fulfill.
Those lips so sweet to press to ours
Now talcs a pallid form in death ;
Thy sweetness was in many flowers,
Thy love was seen in every breath.
An angel came and whispered near,
And did the summons gently bear;
Thou gentle bud, to parents dear,.
Art called to lands more bright and fair.
Thou canst not come to us again
Nor can we ever go to thee
Until our work on earth began
SLall end in sweA eternity.
We'll pra7se the Lord who gave to us
Thy bright and shining life to bless;
We praise Fps name for blessings thus,
Which filled our home with righteousness.
And now again we bless Thy name,

DEAR READERS:— I am led of God to
write a few lines and let all know what
God has done for me. The lord justified
and sanctified me about four years ago and
I have been kept by His mighty power from
all sin ever since. 0 I praise God contin-ually
for all His wondrous works and ways
and for the oneness the chil& en, of God
have with one another in Christ Jesus. On
July 6, we met in the name of Jesus at
mother Dotters house and after a few words
of explanation on baptism we proceeded
to the Allegheny river where two precious
souls were buried with Him by Baptism
into death. 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. Aft4r which we
proceeded to the house and followed Christ
in the ordinance of washing the saints feet,
and the Lord's supper. 0 praise God! " If
ye know these things happy are yeif ye do
them." We had a glorious meeting leap-ing
and shouting praising God with our
whole soul mind and spirit. Your saved.

us full salvation, andrecieved baptism and
now the work is done and. we live sweetly
in Jesus. We could. not see into second
grace, but God opened our eyes and gave
us light now we see it as plain as- the
heavens before us. 0 glory to God for the
saved brothers and sisters that He sent to
thatogrove to teach and bring us poor
doubting sinners to Chri t. 0 praise His
holy name ! now comes persecution but
thanks be to God. On this Rock we have
built our faith and nothing can separate
us from the love of God. We promised
Him that we would forsake everything
for His sake and then He sanctified our
soul. Now dearly beloved we want the
prayers of all the truly wholly sanctified,
those that belong to the Church of Christ,
that we may stand firm, just and holy, unto
the end; he that endureth unto the end shall

SOUTH HAVEN, HMI Aug. 4 1890
DEAR ONES IN JESUS- May the Lord bless
you all with the riches of His grace. I
feel led to testify through the Trumpet
that I am saved and sanctified . and wholly
engaged in the work of the Lord:-
After the Bangor camp meeting, I with
Thy wife and family and Bro. June Went to
Otsego where we pitched a tent in the
name of Jesus, and began to preach - the
Word whieh was liatsned to by many fam-ishing
souls, and conviction settled upon
- . Tia.- them. After we had_ begun the work, the
Lord sent dear Bro. Stover from Nebraska
to assist in the work, and also sister - Fish-
: cr whom the Lord used in teaching the
Word. Dear Bro. Warner and Co. also
was with us a few days. The Lord bless-b
ed in preaching and in song. Bro. and
sister Pike came and stayed over each
Sunday and ad. ministered to. temporal
wants.. Also dear Bro.: F. Schoolcraft and
- wife with others of the dear saints from
Kendall refreshing us both spiritually and
with temporal needs. God bless them for
theirkindnest.. This is in a new field and
daring 4 Weeks, 6 or - 7 were gloriously
saved and many others asked our
prayers, and I pray God that they may
yet yield to Jesus and be saved. Good
interest and good order prevailed through-out
the meeting and increased unto the
end. Sun. July 27th, 4 dear souls obeyed
the ordinance of G ed.' s house and were
buried with Him by baptism into His
death, that they might arise to walk in
,( -* newness of life. May God ever bless and
keep them faithful unto the end. From
' this place Bro. Pike moved the - tent to
Cheshire and pitched it again in the
name of the Lord. Again we poured out
God's wonderful truth on the people, and
many who were in bondage - were made
free. Others were saved from their sins
and made to rejoice in a Saviour's love.
The Church at Cheshire • was gloriously
melted in the ladle of God's love... Many
of the dear saints from e diffierent places
came together filled with the Spirit and all
enjoyed a glorious time in the presence - of
the Lord.

BEAR SAINTS:= I feel led of the Lord to
write my testimony. I praise God. for the
way He is leading me. I am still saved
and sanctified and lidpt by the mighty
power of God up to this present moment.
I praise God for bringing me out into this
marvelous light. I feel that I ' am grow-ing
stronger and more determined
to live for Jesus each day of my life and
have the sweet joy and peace in my Soul
continually-. I praise God for all, the
trials and persecutions of this life, for the
Word says : " Blessed are ye when men
shall revile you and persecute you and
shall say all manner or evil against you
falsely for my sake. Rejoice and be ex
ceeding glad for great is your reward in
Heaven, for so persec uied - they the proph-ets
which were before you."'

DEAR SAms:— My testimony is that I
am saved to the uttermost. ' I am at home
again after a five weeks trip in Arkansas
where I met Bro. Kilman and we held a
meeting near . where Bred Reed lives, ' and
found a few saints there who wereion the
Bible line and others who claimed to he
sanctified, but when the Word was preach-ed.
they began to find fault and oppose la
Bro. Smith came and helped us in the
work. The Meeting lasted. twelve days.
The opposition was so very great that rocks
were thrown into the } abuse, but the Lord
enabled. the saints to be calm, and gave
us victory, while we proclaimed the whole
council : of God. We went, hext to Oak
Grove, about 8 miles north and held a
meeting for about two weeks, where ten
souls were converted and four sanctified.
Here we found some true saints of God
and also found the Gospel Trumpet in
their house. I expect to go smith again
soon. Pray . for me that I may be able to
preach the Gospel straight, regardless of
men or what the people may say or think..
0 . that God's ministers would see the folly
of only preaching a part of the Word and
failing to declare the whole council of God
for fear of the people.

His name! I have always- according to
the light I had, tried to live for the Lord,
although I often stumbled I must say to
my shame. I lived in the Dutch Reform
sect until 1 year ago last winter, • a friend
of mine gave me a Gospel Trumpet, and I
read it until it was almost Worn out; and
asked God for light. 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 pray God to enable me to
help call the people home and- point poor
sinners to Christ.
Pray for us, myself and family that we
may continue to fight in this glorious bat-tle

DARR SAINTS:—. 1 feel led of the Lord to

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. I then forsook her
and stepped out into this blessed evening
light. I do praise God for- the freedom I
have in my soul, and I want to tell to the
glory of God, that He has healed my body.
For four years I was afflicted with rheum-atism,
and my lungs pained me almost
constantly. I had several physicians, and

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. Pray for us that we May
ever hold up the banner of salvation.

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

T'- e0VE not the world, neit her the things

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.

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

and be temperate in' all things, using
this world as not abusing it, then we
might almost defy disease. " Surely He

So then let us who profess to be the chil

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

for both soul and body. • For hhiffi

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."-

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.
