ed all my sins. I had a justified experience
most the of time for about five years,
When about three years ago the Lord sent
some ofIlis ministers to our Co. to preach
holiness. I first went to the celebration,
as I had been accustomed - to doing, then
commenced attending the Meeting. I
soon found that they Were preaching the
pure Word of God, and had something_
that I did not, and the same that i had
been hungering and thirsting for so much,
and did put know what was lacking. But
praise the Lord! As the light come lie
enabled me to walk in it, that the blood
might cleanse me from all sin. I was
some days making my consecration, but
when it was complete; as I was on my
way to meeting, the Lord showed me
that His children had done all they could
for me, and I must settle the matter with
Him. I got down and commenced aska
ing for the blessing. Then I realized I
had a little doubt of this blessing being
for me. I then reminbered the wn- ls
of the Savior; Ask what you will in my
name. So I just asked the Father in the
name of Jesus to remove that doubt, and
it was gone. Praise the Lord! I then
asked in the same simple way to give me
faith to believe and receive it right then,
and praise His name forever! the faith

THE TRUMPET A WEEKLY.
Since in this far off land, where mail
gets around so slow, over long private con-veyance
routes, we feel as never before
the importance of having the Trumpet
made a weekly. We wrote to Bro. By-rum
about the matter, and he replied that
With the ext. nsive trect and bock work,
and the addition of the LIGHT,
our press is kept nearly al' , he time in
motion, and that by- doubling the work on
the ' rumpet, another press would soon be
needed. We are aware of this fact, and
yet we are led to pray God to hasten the
weekly issue of the Trumpet. It might
possibly he done for a short time with our
present facilities; but it is eveident that
we shall need, and in fact do already, a
more perfect press for first class book work.
Therefore we are constrained to ask Gott
for at least, one thousand dollars to rime.
chase a new press, and for the weekly is-sue
of the ' Crum pet, ror Olin ; es sake. Let
a thousand saints go to work sr God, stud
do what you can b Eli i p giving as God
leads, aid especially in re u ring subscrib-ers,
aed the means will come to hand.
This and the completion of our book bind-ry,
which will require about two hun-dred
dollars more, will pretty thoroughly
equip the Lord's publishing houses We set
no times fel. the Lord, but fo r : fissured in
Hie own time and way we shail have the
outfit. Blessed be the name of the Lord
who has hitherto done wonders, in the pub-lication
of His everlasting Gospel. Amen!
Often persons who visit us remark that
if tile saints only knew of our pr- ssing
needs, many of them would willingly send
in means to help along the work. This
we do not doubt; and if some were to
take our place for a few hours only, and
see what a call there is for Gospel work
everywhere, and realize the great neeessly
of the spreading of truth. we think they
would be constrained to even give their
farms to spread the Gospel in some way.
But does it cost much to run a printing
office ? Well, yes. It takes a few thou.
sand dollars a year to pay the expenses
in this office, and in larger offices it takes
more. We ' will give only a few of our
expenses. During the year we pay opt for
paper, about $ 500. Ink $ 40, Type $ 100,
Repairs $ 200, Taxes $ 60, postage $ 300.
Book and tract work, $ 400, wood $ 200.
These are only a few of the many., ex
penses that must be met. Each month.
from 200 to 500 dollars cash must be paid
even if the money must be borrowed
There is also yet a debt against the office
that is unpaid. As to the Trumpet, we
send out more for free distribution than
to our regular paid subscribers, although
our subscription list is increasing. And
as we have now added to the work the
publication ef the " Shining Light," it has
become necessary for us to purchase a
new and more speedy ' milling outfit, that
is an outfit to print the eubscribers manes
and mail the paper. A firm in Chicago have
just offered to furnish the mailer for $ 35,
and altogether including the type etc, will
cost $ 351.50. That may . seem like a great
expense, but it is an unavoichibe one, and

To ALL THE. SAINTS GREETING:— I feel led
to give my experience from death unto
life. I was born Jane 11th 1832 in Rah-dolp
Co. Mo., and married in 1854, my
wife being a professed christian. But
must confess I was a hard and wayward
sinner, and seldom ever went to hear the
Gospel preached; but continued to grow
harder in sin, until I was 55 years old.
Then my conversion came about in this
way. My wife was attending a revival
meeting here on Feb. 1st, 87, and after
several attempts she; prevailed on me to
go with her, and when they Called for sin-ners
my wife went up to have me prayed
for. I thoughtthen if I was back home
I would never go with her again, and
came very near leaving the house. But
while prayer was being offered up, I did
think over my past life, and could see
nothing but sin as far back as I could re-member
; I said to myself, I would like
to be a christian, but I want to get it from
God, and then I will not be mistaken ; I
' will not come back here but I will go to
God. in secret and seek forgiveness for my
many past sins, and I was down before the
Lord from Feb. 1st until Apr. the 15th.,
I had been a hard sinner, and did not have
the faith to believe that God would par-don
a vile sinner like me. But when I
saw my lost condition, then I cried to
God in faith. And Ile spoke peace to
my soul, filling me with peace and joy.
, Oh, what wonderful love for God. But,
in a short time I found I could not please
the Lord. I had a desire to do worldly
things, which are not pleasing to God, and
the Lord would chasten me and I would
repent, and the Lord would restore peace
to my soul again. I lived in this exper-ience
for six months, living up to all the
light I had. If I had been asked, are you
living without sin, I would have given
the old answer, no. I wanted to please
God but could not. About this time I
went to lIepPner, Ore., and spoke of my
trouble to my friends, and they sent a
baptist preacher, () harks Baily, to talk to
me. He says, you have had a change oof
heart; what more do you want -? Come and
join the church and you will be all right.
I told him I could not do it, I did not have
. what I wanted. Some days after this I
went with a party about a half mile to a
horse race, and when I started away, I
will never forget the voice of the Lord, and
the chastening Iliad. I think this - was the
last of Angus', I felt so g • ieived that I
could not please God.. It had now oc-cured
to me that I yet had the inbred sin,
the carnal mind in Me, which is not sub-ject
to God. So on the 17 day of Sep-tember,
I fell on my face before the Lord,
and asked Him to baptize me with the
Holy Ghost and with fire, burning out
every thing, cleansing the tabernacle for
the habitation of the Holy Ghost. For
God will not dwell in any- unclean place.
Then it is that we have the witness that
we are born of the Spirit Of God. Then it
is we know that we are not of the world.
Then it is we know that we can live with-out
sin, because the old man, the inbred
sin, the carnal mind has been, crucified

DEAR Saints:— I feel led to obey t

One time I told a Bro. that I would come
over to holiness meeting. At that time
I was a member of the M. E. sect, and al-so
a member of the young peoples society
of Christian Endeavor. This Bro. that I
promised, had a good deal of wisdom
from. the Lord. Now I expected to go o-ver
there in the morning, just get full of
wisdom, and in the evening I intended to
go t o the Y. P. S. C. E. meeting, and just
astonish and amaze them with my wonder-ful
knowledge. I expected to get this
and use it to my own glory.• Well of
course I was not benefited at all. I did
not go over any more for some time, but
the next time I was fully convicted and
justifeI the same day, at night, I made
the consecration for sanctification. Here
I was greatly troubled over feeling, and
lived without feeling for some time,

and just praised the Lord I did not have
any feeling. Well I am just getting

destruction of physical and mental
vigor, the defiling of conscience, and
blasting of souls, together with this enor
mos, and useless expense incurred by the
Ilse of this poisonous weed, justly entitles
it the great tobacco sin; an awful plague
ss inisery and death self inflicted upon the
hanian family. It is simply painful and
: heart rending to see our rigor fellow hu-mans
under this devouring curse. And
the love and sympathy we have for ' our en-slaved
race, move us to make this earnest
appeal with much prayer that God will '
bless it in the deliverance of many souls for
Christ's sake, to whom be all the glory.
It is claimed that the Bible nowhere for-bids
the use of tobacco. We answer that
ratan and foolish men have devised many
evils, since the Bible was written which are I
therefore not directly mentioned in the Book.
Nevertheless, that perfect and holy law 1
lays down principles of righteousness which
stand over against every thing that is vile I
and sinful, whether it was practiced in an-dent
Sodom, or invented in modern Sodom I
and Egypt.
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are,
true, whatsoever things are honest, whatso-ever
things are just, whatsoever things are
pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatso-ever
things are of good report; if there
be any virtue, and if there be any praise,
think on these things. Those things, which
ye have both learned, and received, and
heard, and seen in me, do : and the God

Here the Word of God calls our a ttentim

some man, or some form of lust. And the
next verses say: " For when they speak
great swelling words of vanity, they allure
through the lusts of the flesh, through much
wantonness; those _ that were clean escaped
from those who live in error. While they
promise them liberty, they themselves are
the servants of corruption : for of whom . a
man is overcome, of the same is he brought

God. But sin uses the body ha acts of mi-righteousness,
which lord it over the inter-ests
of the soul and destroy it. The de-sires
for tobacco, are the " motions of sins,
which *** work in our members to bring
forth fruit unto death."- Rem. 7: 5. Every
tobacco user knows he is under an awful
tyrant, from whose demands there is no
appeal, save to the blood of Jesus Christ.
And the Word of God positively asserts
that. no man can serve two masters." There-fore
the servants of King tobacco cannot
serve the Lord Christ. . No person can be
saved in Jesus, and be enslaved to any lust
of the flesh at the same time. " If the Son
therefore shall make you free, ye shall be
free indeed."- Jna. 8: 36. But if any pe-culiar
craving in the body has the mastery
over you, do not keep under your body;"
but the body through the raging of sin,
has you in bondage to it. That is just
where- every tobacco user is in slavery.
Yon are not free. No amount of healthful
food will satisfy the burning lust within.
It is not so with natural hunger for food
If one article is not attainable, others will
supply the need, and in their use hunger
ceases, until their nutritive force is exhaust-ed,
and more is needed. But the narcotic
tyrant makes his demands independent of
all food. Yea, lie rages the most right after
meals, and the slave must yield service to
his sway, even though he is placed amid
surroundings that compel him to indulge
his idol with shame. Suppose a person
has been converted to God, and then
falls under this hard old Master, tobacco ;
here is the result. " For whom a man is
overcome, of the same is he brought in bond- jugs of the word. Because the members of
the physical body, as we have seen, are the
instruments through which inbred evil na-ter
for them not to have- known, the way
of righteousness, than, _ after they have
known it, to turn from the holy command-ment
delivered. un to them. But it is happen
ednnto them according to the true proverb,
The dog is turned to his own vomit again ;
and the sow that is washed to her wallow-ing
in the mire."- 2 Pet. 2: 18- 22.
Read that over, you that have gone from
grace to tobacco, honestly confess that,
Bro. Peter has here drawn your picture;
then forsake the hard master, and come
back to Christ, and He will set you free.
And to every child of God not in the grasp
of the dreadful monster we say, ' Stand
fast therefore in the liberty wherewith
Christ hath made us free, and be not entang-led
again with the yoke of bondage.- Ga1.5: 1.
2nd. The tobacco habit is condemned by
the Word of God, and is therefore a sin, be-cause
it is a filthy practice. There is scarce-ly
a user of the weed that is so diffused by
its stupifying poison but what is compelled
to admit this fact. And were they all to
deny it, it were none the less true ; as ev-ery
clean person on this defiled earth, and
in its tobacco smoked atmosphere knows,
and more or less suffers all along lifes lane.
0 the awful repugnancel What a shame-ful
offence, clean men and women, must
suffer, through the selfish indulgence of
men and women who choose to follow that
obnoxious practice. They are scarcely a-ware
of the fact, that their breath and clothes
are offensive, they leave their sickening pad-die
on the floor of meeting- houses, R.
cars etc., whereothers are forced to sit in
holy horror. They chase us out of depots
to stand in the cold. They drive us off the
side aralks, or compel us to inhale their.
nauseous smoke. We must run the risk
of dropping down, overcome by the deadly
poison of their smoke that often densely
fills stores, groceries, hotels and post- offices.

3rd. In the habitual use of tobacco, men
" live after the flesh." The term flesh some-times
refers to the physical body, and other
times indwelling depravity. There is a
close connection between these two mean-
3 . tries. "-- 2 PPet. 4: 2: 3 effects of, their violation, we are assured of
of the flesh. " Now the works of the
flesh are manifest, which are thsse ; adul-tey,
fornication, uncleanness, - lascivious
ness", etc.- Gal. 5; 19. As tobacco using
is universally acknowledged to be a ' filthy
habit," and as we have just seen that ', filth-iness"
is the works of the flesh, it follows
that such as indulge the unclean lust,-- are
living after the flesh. And now. we will
prove that spiritual death, as well as phys-ical
destruction, is in their practice:

this fact. No person on earth under the
stupefaction of tobacco is actually well, or
in a normal physical condition. The very
appetite is itself a disease. In conversation

Dear BITihreig — This eveningfindsme
saved and redeemed in the blood of the
Lamb.. Glory to Jesus! I am praising
God continually for His goodness ro me.
He has ro wonderfully answered my pray-era
in so many things. I do praise Gal
for this blessed evening light that I have
found, and for the love of God that I have
in my soul. I reel like telling through the
Trumpet what the dear Lord has done for
me in His healing power. In November
after coming home from my sisters, I took
very sick with the Typhoid Fever. I had
asked the dear Lord to heal me, hut when
I was about to lose my mind I asked Bro.
Crampton to pray for me, as we are the
only two saints here. We went in earn-est
prayer and asked God in the name of
Jesus, to heal my body if Abe according to
His will, and the dear Lord healed me ; and
the next day I was able to do my work. I
was still weak, but I asked God to strengthen
me, and I received strength irra short time.
Also my child was sick with a high fever sev-eral
times. I asked the Lord in prayer to
heal her and the fever departed and she was
healed. Oh, Glory to God for His kind-ness
toward His children. Oh I do praise
God for salvation. My daily prayer, is
that God will lead us out of this country
where we can be assembled with the dear
saints. I ask all who read this to pray much
for us, that the Lord may keep Asa strong.
We have, not been to meeting since Oct.,
when Bro. Campbell and wife, and sister

joined the Missionary Baptist sect, and the
Lordjustified my soul, and the dear Lord
wanted mete go oa unto perfection ; but
they fought against it, so I was bound to
go back into darkness. I struggled alone
a while with a dean formality, and at last
yielded to the tempter in fully and was
worse than ever before, and had about de-cided
that religion was a failure. But in
course of time the Spirit- of the Lord vis-ited
me again, and I was justified again,
because I sawmy awful condition, and as
Peter did I wept bitterly, and repented
ofmy sins; but instead of complying
with the conditions of God's Word and of-fering
my holy a living sacrifice, I joined
the Methodist sect with its dead formality,
and drug along just living a moral life,

very precious to ley soul. The more I
learn of the way and the Lord's dealings
with me the more precious is the, command-meet

of ceaseless wonder and praise how the

does through all the temptations,
and afflictions I have passed through in
the last three years. Glory to His name
We have only to make a perfect consecra-tion
with faith in His word, and maintain
a perfect obedience to the same to prove
His mighty power; the Word says to count
it all joy when we fall into divers tempta-tions.

preciousthan gold etc. I can truly say that
this, with all ether scriptures, is true.
What I have passed through in the last
three years is wonderful, but it was need-ful
to fit, me for the work the Lord has for
me to do. I have been hindered from the
ministy for the last three years to which I
am called; but Jesus has been with me
in the furnace. Praise His name ! And

came near losing my sal' ation over their

I went to the M. E. preacher and he

DEAR Semrrs:— The dear Lord has just

afflictions which lasted me about three
weeks. To our God be all the glory. My
faith used to be very strong on this line,
but I let the devil get the upper hand of
me by- listening to other people. I had
been taking medicine just before the Lord
healed me, and a voice whispered to me,
" The Lord has promised to heal all our
diseases if we only trust Him." Then I
threw my medicine away and received the
witness right away that the work was done.

could not do any work. On the 26th day
of October, the children of God came to
