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 There is a land where all hopes are thronging - A land forever free from care and ills, Beyond the radiant- glow- of day's glad morning, " And far beyond The purple evening- hills.

I felt great fears come upon me, and oh how strange I felt. I harkened to the strange voice eandt went home and prayed to God to give me light. After retiring I felt afraid and saw distort: ed faces around me Which showed me this was. the spirit of the devil. I arose and went back to meeting. Hearing the word. preached in the wisdom and power of God by Bro's Palmer and Lundy, I was awe stricken.

Praise the Lord I am saved. 0 how glad we are for this salvation that saves to the ut-termost, with joy unspeakable and full of glory. Now I ask the prayers of the saints for me and for the neighborhood in which I live I am alone here three miles from Galesburg and cannot meet often with the saints there. 0 what pearls of greatest price to dying souls is this great salvation. But how many sleep and do not wake. How alarming it seems to see a houseful of professors meet and not hear a word for the Lord. Their conversation is all about the world.

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.

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 and put off, and the new man Christ Jesus the victory in my soul over the devil. put on ; now the ' new man lives in us, 1( 1ory to Jesus forever and evex!

DEAR Saints:— I feel led to obey t Spirit to give some of my experience. One time I told a Bro. that I would come over to holiness meeting. At that time I was a member of the M.

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, then learned the secret to live by faith. and just praised the Lord I did not have any feeling.

And," If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in. him." This is a close point, but it is God's. Word. " For the grace of God that bringeth sal-sin, and what is not. It is very true that sane mein- whose bodies are steeped, their eyes blinded, and their conscience besmoked I' hi tobacco, affirm that they feel no con-na demotion in its use. What then I Shall we eonclude it is no sin to them ? God forbid. For that were making- the blinded and seared conscience of man, the standard cf she and not the Word of God, The prac-f any anything that conflicts with the Di-vine law is sin. And if some are too blindl to know it, the scales mtist fall from their' eyes when God's ministers, with one accord warn them of the sin, without any pallia-tion or compromise. The use of tobacco, either by- chewing, smoking, or dipping snuff, is a sin in the sight of God. 1st. Because it brings the user under bondage to it. Entire Sanctification takes out of our heart, soul, body, and spirit, ev-ry thing that God did not create in us ; and brings those appetites and desires of 11: His own creation under their lawful and temperate exercise. Hence says Paul : " I keep under my body." Not the body of rill; for that is destroyed, but the physi-cal body. That is the true Christian life. Christ and the soul take the preeminence aver the body. The spiritual over the ma-irk terial. Moral quality does not adhere in matter. Therefore human flesh can neith- I el sin, nor do acts of unrighteousness. But it is neither an instrument through which 1,1114 the - mind and spirit sins, or does good. Hence the injunction, " Let no sin there ore reign in your mortal bodies, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neith-er yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousnessnnto sin : but yield your-selves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instru-mints of righteousness unto God."- Rolm 6; 12, 13. If, therefore, our body is wholly devoted to acts of righteousness, it is be-cause the spiritual and mental elements that dwell within are all holy, and have Perfect control of the members of the body as their instruments of righteousness.

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 of peace shall be with you -- Phil. 4: S, 9. Here the Word of God calls our a ttentim age."- whether it be under the power of 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 in- bondage. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of our Load and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

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. 0 who can paint the outrage the tobacco last inflicts upon the innocent part of so-ciety ?

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: " For if ve rafter the flesh, ye shall word, and lint hearers onl y, deceiving your quid go hand in hand with the fiend of hi-- own selves."- Jas. 1: 21, 22. - toxicating drinks?

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 Amanda Keefer, were here and preached the tree Gospel; all whe. are saints, may know how nay seul is craving to go to Meet-ings, and be assembled with the saints of God.

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 There is a land where all hopes are thronging - A land forever free from care and ills, Beyond the radiant- glow- of day's glad morning, " And far beyond The purple evening- hills.

I felt great fears come upon me, and oh how strange I felt. I harkened to the strange voice eandt went home and prayed to God to give me light. After retiring I felt afraid and saw distort: ed faces around me Which showed me this was. the spirit of the devil. I arose and went back to meeting. Hearing the word. preached in the wisdom and power of God by Bro's Palmer and Lundy, I was awe stricken. No w sister Lena Sheofner talked and prayed with me, and behold now came down the Holy Ghost, yes, the refiner's fire and fuller's soap, and r was clean.

Now I ask the prayers of the saints for me and for the neighborhood in which I live I am alone here three miles from Galesburg and cannot meet often with the saints there. 0 what pearls of greatest price to dying souls is this great salvation. But how many sleep and do not wake. How alarming it seems to see a houseful of professors meet and not hear a word for the Lord. Their conversation is all about the world.

Who is ready to help send these tracts out free? • P, INDLISTRIAL SCHOOL El OR THE FREEDMEN. 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.

I have much opposition from those arotiptt me who profess to be chr. st ians in holding up holiness standard of salvation. I am Correspondence, 1356 SOUTH WATER. ST. DENVER, COL. 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 and put off, and the new man Christ Jesus the victory in my soul over the devil. put on ; now the ' new man lives in us, 1( 1ory to Jesus forever and evex!

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.

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.

And" If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in. him." This is a close point, but it is God's. Word. " For the grace of God that bringeth sal-sin, and what is not. It is very true that sane mein- whose bodies are steeped, their eyes blinded, and their conscience besmoked I' hi tobacco, affirm that they feel no con-na demotion in its use. What then I Shall we eonclude it is no sin to them ? God forbid. For that were making- the blinded and seared conscience of man, the standard cf she and not the Word of God, The prac-f any anything that conflicts with the Di-vine law is sin. And if some are too blindl to know it, the scales mtist fall from their' eyes when God's ministers, with one accord warn them of the sin, without any pallia-tion or compromise. The use of tobacco, either by- chewing, smoking, or dipping snuff, is a sin in the sight of God. 1st. Because it brings the user under bondage to it. Entire Sanctification takes out of our heart, soul, body, and spirit, ev-ry thing that God did not create in us ; and brings those appetites and desires of 11: His own creation under their lawful and temperate exercise. Hence says Paul : " I keep under my body." Not the body of rill; for that is destroyed, but the physi-cal body. That is the true Christian life. Christ and the soul take the preeminence aver the body. The spiritual over the ma-irk terial. Moral quality does not adhere in matter. Therefore human flesh can neith- I el sin, nor do acts of unrighteousness. But it is neither an instrument through which 1,1114 the - mind and spirit sins, or does good. Hence the injunction, " Let no sin there ore reign in your mortal bodies, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. Neith-er yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousnessnnto sin : but yield your-selves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instru-mints of righteousness unto God."- Rolm 6; 12, 13. If, therefore, our body is wholly devoted to acts of righteousness, it is be-cause the spiritual and mental elements that dwell within are all holy, and have Perfect control of the members of the body as their instruments of righteousness. But a the 11° 413 to any degree prostituted to twhorks oef sin, . it proves some inward ele meatsof sin, which use the members of the body as its instruments of unrighteous-liolineas uses its- temple to serve RrtV. 010 '; lip Its ei direct mention of every thing on earth that is not please God. .

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 of peace shall be with you -- Phil. 4: S, 9. Here the Word of God calls our a ttentim age."- whether it be under the power of 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 in- bondage. For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of our Load and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been bet-to general principles of virtue and purity. ture works oat in the commission of sin, As if to say : The light of my " Woad and and life takes on a long animal plane, instead Spirit will enable you to judge of your own of a spiritual. In the following quotations selves what things are pure and lovely, the term flesh chiefly denotes, the " old and what are sinful and unholy, without a mm" or ,‘ body of sin." Christians do not good, and that is evil.. Therefore through " That the righteousness of the lawmight our knowledge of God and His law of ho- he fulfilled in us, who walk- not after the liness, we say at once - that the use of tobac- flesh, but after the Spirit.

And we will now weigh the habit the flesh ; but they that are rafter the hyprinciples clearly laid down in the law- Spirit the things of the Spirit.- Rom. 8: 4 of the Lord. For to this book we appeal 5. as the standard that must decide what is And men that do live after the flesh can 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. 0 who can paint the outrage the tobacco last inflicts upon the innocent part of so-ciety ?

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: " For if ve rafter the flesh, ye shall word, and lint hearers onl y, deceiving your quid go hand in hand with the fiend of hi-- own selves."- Jas. 1: 21, 22. - toxicating drinks?

The very appetite is itself a disease. In conversation with some womenrecently who were clani-oring for their tobacco, one whom God had given more than ordinary constitutional vigor, remarked that she had dipped mutf ever since a child, and was as well as any one she knew. But having confessed that she was very wretched, and could hardly live iif without the snuff, we showed her that she was badly mistaken in her sup-posed good health. 7hitiieruse of poison had so far destroyed her body, that she could not live on healthy food. That the stomach was so impaired that it was not able to digest and assimilate. food sufficient to sustain nature. Hence the distress with-out the poison.

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.

Love and praise to Christ belongs. 1 want to praise God for sending brotherStilwill this way blow-ing the " Gospel Trumpet." We are a band of workers wonderfully raised up by God and led into the battle field. Victory is ours on all sides, and so much and so great is the work that we had no time to con-sider the leadings of God, or whether . there were any others like unto us in the world, until our brother came this way, and we were wonderfully led out to meet him. A. stranger in a strange city, but we soon became known of each other. 0 how won-derful it all is. Praise God forever! per-secutiotts and oppositions are very great, but our encouragements are greater. We KENESA DEAR BRETJIREN:— I praise the de salvation full and free, and rejoice le love of God, who sanctifies me wholly and keeps me by His mighty power. Glo-ry be to Him for ever and ever. I was so great a sinner that I thought there was no mercy for me. But His Word saysescome now, let us reason together, saitit the Lord : though your sins be as scarlet, . thes shall be as white as snow, though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." believed the Lord and found Ills Word is true. Ijoined the Evangell• al sect, but came near losing my sal' ation over their ungodliness. During the time I lived in a justified state, I knew there was some-thing lacking, until last winter I read a book on holiness, and was deeply convict-ed. I went to our preacher and he said the Bible teaches sanctification and he be-lieved in it. But he did not have it him-self. I went to the M. E. preacher and he discouraged me with his explanation. 13ro Hauer and Willis came here and I went to hear them a few times, but they did not suit my ideas of getting into the light. I was a sectarian through and through. So it went until thislast time, when they came back. Then i said, it this is God's way I will seek it, and I shall know for myself the doctrine, whether it is of God Fl ory be to God. People may say about or of man.

Then I threw my medicine away and received the witness right away that the work was done. Praise God forever. While my faith failed me we paid out about $ 50 as Dr. bills.
