cautiousness an
unto the Romans to impart unto them a
spiritual gift— karisnza— to the end they
might be established.-- Bom. 11. And
to the Thessalonians, to perfect that
which was lacking in their faith," i. e. " that
their hearts might be established unblame-able
in holiness "- 1 Thes. 3: 10, 13. This
same gift and second grace of heart holi-ness
the Apostle desired to come andhelp
the Corinthians in possession of. Hence
said he, " Having therefore these promises,
dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves
from all filthiness of the. flesh. and spirit,
perfecting holiness in the fear of God."—
2 Cor. 7: 1. " And this also we wish, even
your perfection." " Finallyabrethren, fare-
I well : be perfect, be of good comfort, be
of one mind, live in peace, and. the God of
love and peace shall be with you."- 2 Cor.
13: 9: 11. So- the apostle Paul was an earn-est
teacher of a second grace, which he calls
perfection, perfected holiness, a state of
grace reached by a work of grace, which
cleansed the flesh and spirit from all filth-iness,
ram al impurities.
And this, as we are to show in the sec-ond
place, is a doctrine of the New Testa-ment.
We can only take space to cite a
few of the numerous passages in proof of
this point. We will begin with the first
converts to the faith once for all delivered
to the saints. They believed in Christ—
Mark 9: 42, and hence were " born of God."
John 1: 12, 13. Accordingly they " follow-ed
Christ in the regeneration"— in the re-generated
state.— Mat. 19: 28.
But that they were not yet wholly sane-tilled
is evident because flue Saviour, after
all the above facts in their experience,
prayed the Father to sanctify them.— Jno.
17: 17. Which second grace they receiv-ed
on the day of Pentecost,. Acts 2.
The people believed on Christ when
Philip preached in Samaria, were baptized,
and had great joy, doubtless, being par-doned
of their sins. But afterward, as a
second grace, they received the Holy
Ghost, whom Christ in John 14 declared
the world, sinners, could not receive. See
Acts 8: 12- 16.
The Roman believers had furnished the
Apostle satisfactory evidence of genuine
conversion. See Rom. 1: 6 ; 15: 14. And
vet he taught them a second grace. See
Rom. 1: 11 ; 5: 2; 12: 1, ; 15: 13, 15,
16.
The same twofold process of salvation
can be traced in all the epistles. But we
will only call attention to 1st The s. In
chapter 1: 2- 6 their first grace of regener-ation
is clearly seen. Nor had. they back-slid
up to the time of the Apostle's writing.
See 3: 6- 9. Butnotwithstanding the good
experience they had received and imin-tain.
ed, they were taught a Second and per
feeling grace. See 1 Thes. 3: 10, 13 ; 4;
2, 3, 7; 5: ') 3, 24.
Third, what is the province of this sec-ond
grace ? The Scriptures already cited
should be sufficient to show its nature, but
let us a little farther examine the matter.
We have oceasionly met with the idea that
the second grace is no cleansing at all, but
only an infusion of power. This is a very
congenial doctrine to the " old. man." Neith-er
is the devil afraid of all the power men
can get without a pure heart. There is
no mortifieation or crucifixion in praying
for an infilling of power. But to confess
the old man of sin in the heart, and then
get down humble enough in the sight of
God to have him slain, that is the way of
the cross, the way of the Bible.
Another false doctrine is this: " Regen-eration
gives us a pure heart. The second
grace destroys the animal passions, and
lusts of the flesh ( body)." We quote the
above from a letter before us. What are
animal passions ? Surely a proper answer
would be, such passions as man possesses
in common with the lower animals. Such
as conjugality, the pairing instinct, seen in
some species of the animal kingdom ; am-itiveness,
the procreative passion ; parent-al
love, love of offspring : combativeness,
resistance, defence, courage, etc.; destruct-iveness,
which is executiveness, force and

he performed against babylon,
to make the land of babylon a deso-
14ion without an inhabitant.— Jer. l: G. 29'
These are about all the passions that can
propeily be denominated animal passions,
and not one of them is destroyed in our
salvation. They are all of God's own cre-ation,
hence He does not destroy thenabut
sanctifies them all under the law of holi-ness
to their natural and Divinely intend-ed
use.
What then is the effect produced by the
second grace ? All the justified soon find
that they have an evil fallen nature that
impedes their religious progress, and dis-turbs
their new- born peace with God. But
where is this inbred foe located, which
is, cleansed out by the second grace ? We
have seen that it is not " animal passions"
adhering in the physical body, as a certain
sin confused soul teaches. It istrue that evil
nature is called the" flesh," from sarkawhich
is often used with reference to moral evil
in raen's spiritual and mental being,. We
read, " For the flesh lusteth against the
spirit, and the spirit against the flesh ; and
these are contrary the one to the other,"
etc— Gal. 5: 17. That this is the dual state
of the justified is admitted by all holiness
teachers, and must be admitted by all men,
because the sinner does not possess the
divine Spirit. And now we are told that
the flesh here means the physical bod-y.
But read ver. 24 : " And they that
are Christs ( i e., wholly given to Him ac-cording
to Rom. 12: 1) have crucified the
flesh, with the affections and lusts " Cru-cify
means to put to death Have these
venders of their new theory committed lit-eral
suicide ? If only the lusts of the flesh
were to be crucified, we might interpret
the flesh as meaning the physical body, but
since the flesh itself is crucified, put to
death, and yet we have not literally expir
ed, it is evident the flesh in such passages
does not refer to the corporeal body. If
we follow the Word there is no trouble to
understand this. " Knowing this that OUT
old man is crucified with Him, that the
body of sin might be destroyed."— Rom. 6:
6. It is the body of sin that is crucified.
Long before Paul's physical body was de-stroyed,
he said, " I am crucified with
Christ, nevertheless, I live."— Gal. 2: 20.
The lately concocted theory teaches that
regeneration makes us perfectly pure in
heart, spirit and soal; but that entire
sanctification only removes sin out of the
physical flesh. Gal. 5; 19- 21 is quoted as
evidence. But is any one foolish enough
to refer " envy, hatred, emulation," etc., to
the physical man. Can matter hate, emu-late
and envy ? That the " flesh" in the
above Scripture refers to evil in the men-tal
and spiritual realm of man is evident
from the fact that it is associated with the
mind. The same word, sarkos, occurs in
Roth 8: 6 as follows : " For to be earnal-ly
' minded is death." Rendered in the
Emphatic Diaglott thus: " For the mind
of the flesh ( 8th Los) is death." It also
reads the same in the direct from the G- reek.
Now we all know that literal flesh does
not possess a mind, but that mind per-tains
to man's spiritual being. " Because
the carnal mind is enmity against (. 3- od."
ver. 7. " The mind of the flesh (& a, 108)
is enmity to God."— Emphatic.
So then they that are in the flesh ( sae-ki,)
cannot please God "— Born 8: 9. If
this evil element called the flesh were the
physical of man he could not please God
until after putting off the same in natural
death. But the flesh to be crucified is
spiritual depravity. The theory - that our
spiritual being is made perfectly pure in
regeneration, and is not further cleansed in
the second grace is positively proved to
be false in 2 Cor. 7: 1 ; " Having there
forethese promises, dearly beloved, let us
cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the
flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the
fear of God." Here the flesh, used in con-tradistinction
to the spirit, is evidently the
physical, as it is often so used, as well as
in relation to the body of sin. Perfected
holiness, the second grace, is the result of
cleansing both soul and body, both the
physical and spiritual of man. From the
the former it purges out all unnatural ap-petites,
from th e latter all unholy tempers,

The assertion that regeneration makes
the heart perfectly pure, and that entire
sanctification does not affect the heart, the
seat of our affections, is positively proved
false by many Scriptures " The works of
the flesh" in Gal. 5, which the new ` heresy
admits are cleansed out in entire sanctifi-cation,
the Son of Go] says proceed from
the heart: .4, For from withth, out of the
heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adul-teries,
fornications, murders, thefts, covet-gumless.,
wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness,
an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness."
— Mark 7: 21, 22. The inward source of
these thMgs is man's evil fallen nature, the
old man. Their root or tendency exists in
the j ustified; " but if he lives after the flesh"
or gives way to these evil lusts he sins, and
spiritually dies. So while the sinner is the
servant and slave of sin, the justified have
all sins removed, and they keep inbred sin
in subjection. But the wholly sanctified
have both sins remitted and the evil root or
bent of sinning destroyed. Since, there-fore,
the heart is the source of the works of
the flesh their destruction involves a puri-fication
of the heart.
" Cleanse your hands, ye sinners, and
purify your hearts, ye doubleminded."—
James 4; 8. Bro. Achor gives us the fol-lowing
thoughts in this text: c, For sin-ners
to cleanse then.. hands is to cease from
those acts of sin that they have commit-ted.
But who is meant by the double
minded man ? A sinner has only one mind,
and that is to disobey Gal A man with
a pure heart has only one mind, and that
is the mind of Christ. Therefore it must
be a man that has been born of the Spirit,
but has not received the second grace.
Such doubleminded are commanded to
purify their hearts. Therefore the second
grace is a purification of the heart"
That the second grace of entire sanctifi-cation
is a work of perfect heart pmifica-tion
is incontrovertably established by
Acts 15: 8, 9 : " And God which knoweth
the hearts, bare them witness, giving them
the Holy Ghost, even as He did unto us ;
and put no difference between us and them
purifying their hearts by faith."
God put no difference between the first
recipients of the Holy Ghost on the day of
entecost and the Gentiles who were saved
afterward. And in all cases when they
received the Holy Ghost He purified their
hearts by faith. Other Scriptures are not
needed Satan knows very - wren that the
heart of man is the seat of affections, and
out of it are the issues of life, therefore he
requires his preachers as much as posdhle
to call attention from heart cleansing sal-vation
to every other device that he has
invented. But " blessed are the pure in
heart, for they shall see God."

DEAR SAINTS' OF Gore— I will write some
of my experience of God's dealings with
me, more especially for the encouragement
of those who have more recently entered
upon the King's highway. I- left the
land. of Egypt some 25 years ago, and
crossed over Jordan to the promised pos-session
some nine years after, since which
time I have found it good to walk in all
the light I have been permitted to receive.
When the " evening light" came, it found
me doubly chained with the bands a the
enemy, having been a Methodist and also
an invalid for 15 years. My disease had
become chronic, and after five years my
eyes failed me in sympathy with a nerve of
weakness, and though not blind, or entire-ly
helpless, yet I was not able to read a
page, or sew a yaid of cloth for nearly ten
years. I was shut out from the world a&
it were, until the time promised when
God should pour out of His Spirit upon
all flesh," and set the captives free. Seven
years ago I heard of a people called
saints, " who went up to the feast" yearly
at Bangor, to worship God, in the good
old why; and that God was saying to the
remnant of the camp of Israel, in these
" later days, go forward, for from hence-forth
I will be in the midst of thee." I
heard of mighty works being wrought
through the holy child Jesus, and I said in
my soul, If God permits I too will touch the
hem of his garment and be made whole.
Another Meeting three months later found
me at the same place where I presented
myself for the healing of my eye& God
bad a'second work in viewi and because of
this and for my good He permitted me to
become especially burdened with desire
for the healing of my eyes at this time. I
had suffered much more with my eyes
than otherwise for a long time, that I had
been obliged to rest my body until I fan-cied
that with their recOveiy I would feel
quite well. God heard and answerad pray-er,
and in the instant of the exercise of
faith I reached for a fine print Bible which
was lying near me, and read nearly two
chapters with comfort. 0- praise our God
and let us exhalt His holy name together.
I returned to my Northern home, and began
to undertake the demands of the same, when
within one week I began to realize that the
original disease was being aggravated with
my effort: to labor, and that I needed an en-tire
healing. I was two. hundred miles a-way
from any body that I knew of who
had a living faith, and as my condition be-came
worse and worse, I cried mightily un-to
God to deliver me from all infirmity. I
tried to pray believingly, but when an
ache or pain followed I thought, surely, God
has not healed . me or I would not feel so.
Several weeks passed, when at a time of
much suffering I was led to set apart a
time for fasting, the same as they did at
Bangor. I asked God to reveal to me
what was lacking on my part, and while
waiting thus before Him I was led to take
up a Gospel Trumpet - which I had not
read. My eyes first rested upon the ex-perience
of a sister who had been healed
of the same disease. She said that when
hands were laid upon her far healing she
was in great pain, and afterwards she was
still in pain, but according to God's Word
she was healed He gave her strength to
get up and go about, and as she continued
to believe strength was given, and the pain
passed away. She said at one time she
was again in pain, and she asked the Lord
why it was He showed her that it was
not the old disease but only a test of faith,
also at another time when a sense of wear-mess
came on without cause, that it was
not the old disease, but only a test of faith,
all of which passed away when her faith
was lifted above her feelings. And that
we must not ask God to heal us, and then
wait to see, but get up and do as if we had
what we have asked for. . All this was
like a message from heaven to me. My
prayer was answered. I read the same
twice over, and then fell upon my knees
with the paper in my hand, and asked God
God to touch me with His healing power,
and make me every whit whole. I claimed
what I had asked for, and arose declaring
within myself that I was healed, with no
other evidence than God's Word. That
was enough, and I was indeed made whole
from that hour. God has required me to
walk by faith many times for a long while.
I have passed through sore billows of trib-ulation,
when my flesh has consumed away,
as it were, and my life had well nigh gone
out only for His faithfulness to me. I
have been led in ways which seemed be-yond
understandMg, but having committed
myself wholly into our Father's hands, I
have found comfort from the life example of
ourLord, wherein none were ever so misun-derstood
as He was, and yet He was without
sin and blameless. I can see why among all
the Christian graces, that of charity is more
preminently set forth as the most needful.
God grant us mountains of charity toward
each other who are walldng honestly in all
His known will. About three years ago I
be- came conscious of a lack in my soul ; I
did. not know why, but I was not satisfied,
and lest the enemy might have ensnared
me in some way through the deceivableness
of sin, I prostrated myself alone before God,
laid by my relation to ray former expeii-ence
as a thing of the past, and covenanted
anew with Him as at the first. Not very long
after I heard the voice of the Spirit leading
me forward to an advanced. experience. I
was led to fast andlisten to what He might
say, and while waiting thus before Him the
words of Isiah were applied : " Enlarge
the place of thy tent, and let them stretch
forth the curtains of thine habitations, spare
not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy
stakes. For thy Maker is thine husband;
the Lord of hosts is His name; and thy
Redeemer the Holy One of Israel ; the
God of the whole earth shall He be called
For the Lord hath called thee as a woman
forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife
of youth when. thou wast refused, saith thy
God. For a small moment have I forsaken
thee ; but with great mercies will I gath-er
thee. In a little wrath I hid my face
from thee for a moment ; but with ever-lasting
kindness will I have mercy on thee,
saith the Lord thy Redeemer." God has
indeed verified. His Word to me, and my
soul has been reaching out into the sweet
beyond where the deep waters flow, and
where my every desire is met in Him , who
is my life, my all evermore.
Your sister.

and ourselves expect the Lord willing to

in saving souls and establishing the
true Church of God in . that beautiful val-ley.

EDITORIAL NOTES
Quite a number of brethren have writ ten
that they were coming to the Bangor C.
M. from a distance, some, several hundred
miles. We would su ggest that all such as
can remain and take in the St. Louis and
Beaver Dam camp meetings. They ( la
find places to stop and work for the Lord
between the meetings. There will be plen-ty
work at those camp meeting's ft r all that
come filled with the Holy Spirit, and plen-ty
grace to save all that would seek God•
All who come for good are welcome, and
such as are not supplied with means will
be fed freely.
It is probable that our Co. will take in
the camp and grove meetings announced
for Ind. and. 0. and then if the Lord will
go to Pa. Many desire us to come West,
but we think the Lord will send others on
the Western line of meetings who are free
from other lines of work that rest upon us
and th atwill doubtless require our return
to the office as soon as possible.
Let us hear immediately from Bro's. G.
E. Boldse- W. M. Wilson, and brethren at
St. James and Carthage, Mo. concerning
the line of meetings. We would advise
brethren at Norwood to defer their meet-ing
until Sept. if they wish help horn the
East. However there are workers enough
there in the West. Do as seemeth the
Lord's will. 	 lamerWIN. 71

send it to Bro. G. R. Achor to help him to

that he lost. He is a minister of God and'
you who have the salvation of souls ' at
heart cannot afford to have him at home

continue about 0 days. The holy people
have procured a beautiful new camp ground
for permanent use only two or three miles
from St. Louis, Gratiot Co. Mich., and we
hope a great number of good substantial
tents will be erected. The camp is pleas-ant,
dry and shady, and well sva. ered by
both a creek and strong springe. This per.
manent and suitable encampment wae much

bless and reward whom He has mov-ed
to give the same. I hope the saints will
not be slothful or negleetful to turn out
and help prepare the grouud, wat eri place,
etc. Bro. and sister Walters, appoint a

The camp ground is between St. Louis
and Alma, both 4itiite large to aaSus. t.

Bro. David Leininger, Akron, Ind. All
persons coming on the Chicago & Atlantic
stop at Akron, notify Bro. R. N. Gast, Ak-ron,

that place. Coming on the Nickel Plate
stop at Mentone, and notify Bro. Fletcher
Stoner at Beaver Dam, Ind. All bring*
tents that possibly can, or at least do not
fail to bring some bedding.
Sister Susan Chafee writes from Black
Ash, Pa. " Three years ago I was fully
saved and sanctified." " I was called in-to
the work when I was saved, and I know
my place in the Body of Christ. 0, it is
wonderful what God can do for a soul.
He only has been my teacher. He has
given me the faith once delivered to the
saints.
Tit" uI swvailsle a. l mI wosetn ttw too waelle tkhse inm itnhies tceirt- sy ooff
the town, talked- with them, and delivered
God's message to them, telling them to
warn the people to flee from sin and de-struction,
to the cleansing fountain. I
did not find one really righteous minister.
But some seemed as though they would
like to be saved. Then I called on the
leading ones of each sect, and found some
saved up to all the light they had. A few
got saved, and one sister sanctified. Many
know not what to do, or where to go to get
some spiritual food. One brother said. he
had been fed on chaff and wind. So each
sect has some honest souls, who are like
sheep without a shepherd. They want the
truth preached to them. One brother was
willing to board a man filled with the Spir-it
of God, and help pay his way there. I
hope God will send some one here soon to
give the people the light of God."
- This is a blessed way to hunt the real
sheep of the Great Shepherd that are scat-tered
and bewildered in the mists and fogs
of sectism. 0, that God had ten thousand
servants and handmaidens ready to search
out every town and city. 0 Lord, send
thy fishers and fish, them, and thy hunters
and hunt them. And " thoroughly glean
the remnant," Amen,
THE BANGOR CAMP- MEETING
will begin June 10th and continue 9 days. A
large attendance is expected. Let all the
saints that can come with tents. Or if not
with tents, at leastbring some bedding.. In
fact, we would by all means advise all per-sons
going to camp meeting to go prepared
to take care of yourselves if possible. But
if not practical to bring provisions and
tent, there will be no trouble to make
yourself comfortable if you just bring bed-ding.
Of course if this can not be done, if
the Lord leads, come anyway. But we
think it seldom that people need to come
to camp without something to cover them
during the night. If you come by R. R.
get your bedding checked, if by private
conveyance substitute bedding for your
buggy cushions.
Persons coming via. Chicago and South
Haven by steam boat will find the steamer
H. W. Williams running from the former
to the latter ', lice Sabbath night, Teusday
night and Thursday night, leaving Chicago
at 9 P. M. also on Monday. Persons com-ing
in that way notify Bro. S. Michels,

South on the Chicago & West Michigan R.
R. stop at Bangor. _ From the North stop

A CAMP MEETING is called for by Bro. E,
Barker at Onekama, Manistee Co. Mich.
in Aug. or Sept. The Bro. writes that a
good work of grace has been wrought ther6
and quite a number of souls are standing
in Christ only, but needing more teaching
on the way of Divine truth they are ex-posed
to sectish snares. He say, " Here I
as good a field for the Gospel to be preach-ed
as I knows' Onekama is a summer
resort." The brother is praying that God
may send some one there soon filled with
the fire of God, to teach the people the
true way of God. Cannot Bro. Grover or
Bro. Sheldon visit that place soon. And
also arrange for the camp meeting.

BANGOR, Mien. MAY 21, 1891.
DEARLY BELOVED RRETI1REN:— May mer-cy
and peace be multiplied unto each one
of you. My testimony is that God saves
me to the uttermost. Praise His dear
name for salvation. The last meeting
which we held was three miles east of
Davis City, I. in a school house, four e-venings
and one day. Five dear souls
obeyed the Lord and went down into the
- water and were baptized, and arose from
she watery grave to walk in newness of
life. More will obey in the near future.
Any of God's ministers calling there will
find a hearty welcome, although when we
first went there was much prejudice against
the truth, but light broke in upon their
hearts after awhile, it being so near the
latter day saints or Mormon stronghold
they thought every body that claimed to be
a saint was a Mormon, but the blessed Lord
helped us to prove to them quite different.
From your brother under the blood.

INDIAN SPRINGS, MO MAY 14TH _ 1891.
DEAR SAINTS:— I feel led of the Lord to
write ray testimony with a report of the
good work done at Neash. Bro. and sister
Sunderland and myself commencedtheeting
there April the 21st, and closed. May the
12th. Bro. Stanbery came in the second
week, and did good service the rest of
the meeting. We gave the truth, and
the Holy Spirit came with it, and sealed it
on the hearts of the people. And wonder-ful
cenviction rested on the people. There
were tweenty seven souls professed salva-tion.
Eleven converted and sixteen sancti-fied.
Last Sabbath nine souls were buried
with Christ in baptism. And on Monday
night we had a blessed ordinance meeting-ours
in the love and patience of Jesus. There were tweenty seven took part in
F. N. sk: Susie A. Jacobson. washing one anothers feet, as- Jesus'' com-manded.
The Lord sent the Holy Ghost
upon us, and shouts of praises sounded out
fronithe happy saints. - . Glory to God for-ever
and forever !
We expect to return to them Soon, perhaps
take our tabernacle with us, that we May,
be able to accommodate the large crowds
that attend our meetings. I am saved this
morning, and realize the blood cleanses me
from all sin just now, and the . truth does
make the free.
Your brother in the work.

MIURN, IND. MAY 13, 1891.
DEAR SAINTS OP GOD:— We begun meet-
' ing in Bro. Green's house 5 . miles south
- east orLima, Ind. Apr. 19th and continued
till May 3rd with the exception of a few
nights. The precious Gospel has been
_ greatly cursed and. hindered by back-
- islidings, dishonest walk and crooked lives
me mere professors in that country in
the past, which might have been the scene
of grand results and victories for God and
, O. salvation. However those who were will-g
oval wady to walk out in the light and
cOno up to t I: e Bible standard were cleared
up in their experience, and several at-i
tained unto the grace and perfect victory
11 entire holiness ; while a few we were
o Ieavt in no better or rather worse
condition because they refused to walk out
o the light and fully square up with
pure Word. ' The 5th, dear brother
d sister Hart conveyed us to our much
loved Bro. Y oder's kind home near Brush-
' rairie, where we enjoyed a pleasant
and rest and a prayer meeting with
oved saints in that vicinity. There
several healed of the Measles, some
} In had them very bad, 1. u t the Lord
e • tom all. Hallelujah! The 9th
dear brother Yoder - conveyed us to father
sedy's 3 miles north west of Angola, where
• ined with the church over Sabbath
were strengthened and encour-ie
faith and grace of Jesus. One
stifled, a iid anotber healed through
Hallelujah ! We hope that God's
-.- anointed ministers will visit that place
shall soon hold ameeting at Kendall,
ch., then go to the glorious Bangor C.
until about eight months ago, when Bro's.
Markwell and Isouck came into our neigh-borhood.
I had always opposed sanctifi-cation
and holiness. But God. made them
stay at my house nearly a week, until wife
and I were reclaimed, and then their work
seemed to be done. Two weeks after I
- went to hear Bro. Defore preach, and God
made him come and stay over night with
me. I obeyed Rom. 12- 1, and the follow-ing
night I commenced praising God and
have been full ever Since. Glory to His
name Afterwards some Salvation Army
boys came into our neighborhood to hold
meeting. They seemed to be doing the
best they knew. So wife and I took hold
in the meeting with a will for God. The
fire commenced to burn and spread. We
were the only live ones in the meet-ing,
meeting held on for about thirty
nights, closing with about thiaty living
witinesses twelve or fourteen new converts,
the rest reclaimed backsliders and cold
professors awakened. Thirteen were bap-tized,
and we now have a good prayer
meeting started. I think none have join-ed
the Salvation ATmy or will do so. A
Methodist has an appointment here, I think
it is his object to feed the flock. Ezk. 34:
2, 3, 4.
We pray the Lord to send us a good
minister, for we fully believe a good work
is done here, and if we get a wholly sancti-fied
minister soon we will be able to hold
these people for the Lord.
Your brother justified by faith sanctified
by the blood, and waiting to be revealed.

NISIINABOTNA, MO.
DEAR SAM'S OF THE MOST HIGH GREET-ING:—
May grace mercy and peace be mul-tiplied
unto you. I can say to- day to the
glory of God, that Jesus fully saves me
front sin, and I have the victory in my soul.
Thanks be to God! He has said that our
light afflictions which are but for a mo-ment,
worketh for us a far more exceeding
and eternal weight of glory. And we find
that this is Brought about by looking to
Jesus. Hence Paul says in his letter to
the Hebrews: " Look unto Jesus the au-thor(
or beginner,) and finisher of our faith."
0, that we may by faith walk in Him,
rooted and grounded in love : so that we
may not be moved front the hope of the
Gospel by the great mess of lies and slan-der
that he is scattering around by his ser-vants.
Remember that all things work
together for good to them that love the
Lord, and obey His holy Wold. I love to
do the will of God in sickness or in health.
Glory to Jesus I I love the lovely way of
God, it is joy supreme to me. And I do
not want any Zinzindoram nor the fault
finding evil spirits that teach that false
doctrine. r would say to all the saints of
God to have no fellowship with them, but
to follow the Lamb, and He will lead you
in His ways of peace. I love to read the
Trumpet, and find that its teachings har-monize
with the Word, and many are sav-ed
through reading the truth that it sends
forth. Oi l pray the Lord to add His bless-ings,
and direct His work.
From your blood washed brother.
A. A. Kinzie.
BEAM, MISS.
DEAR SAINTS:— I feel it would be to the
glory of God to add my testimony. I love
my blessed Savior. As far back as I can
remember I joined. the Missionary church
at 13 years of age, I think I lived an up-right
life except in having • what I called
fun with cards, which is the vice of the
devil, and go to parties. Jesus cleansed
me from that evil 8 years ago. Now I am
saved and sanctified wholly.
Your sister in Christ.
Lizzie Robbertson.
I do praise the Lord for healing brother.
Bradley, and sending hint back to Wat-kinsville
once more to comfort the saints,
and warn sinners to repent. Many souls
were made to rejoice, and I praise the Lord
for the evening light. It is a blessed thing to
trust the Lord for all things. I take Him
for my physician. When Bro. Warner and
company were here the Lord wonderfully
healed my body through their prayers, and
I have not taken any medicine since. I
have counted the cost, paid the price, and
have consecrated all to the Lord and am
sanctified through obedience to His will.
Pray for me and my husband that we may
be true and loyal to God.
Your sister.

AUBURN, IND. APR. 12TH 1891.
DEAR SAINTS— : I thank God this evening
for a present salvation that saves me just
now from all sin, and I am kept by the
mighty power of God, ready to be reveal-ed
in the last time. Oh, I have so much
to thank the Lord for that I scarcely know
where to begin. I have heard that the
Gospel Trumpet was soon to be a weekly
paper, and I do pray God that such may -
be the case. I for one will pay my por-tion.
I can scarcely wait from one time to
the next to get my paper.
Your Bro. saved and sanctified by a sec-ond
work of grace.

In Cheshire, Mich. May 8th 1891 sister
Martha E. Wilson exchanged this life of
suffering for another life of eternal bliss
and happiness. Her sufferings though very
severe were borne with much patience,
having victory in her soul from first to last.
She gave advice to many friends on the
subject of Christianity, exhorting sinners to
turn to God, and saints to stand firm. She
died in the full triumphs of faith, just at
the last raising her hand toward heaven -
exclaiming, " Beautiful! beautiful!" " Prec-ious
in the sight of the Lord is the death of
His saints." She would have been 49 years
old the 7th of June. The funeral was held

DEAR READERS OF THE LORD:— We are
very glad to report that we are still saved,
and under the all cleansing blood, which
keeps us pure and free. Since our last re
port we have been engaged in several
meetings. The Lord helped us to sow the
seed, leaving God to give the increase.
We just closed a meeting in Ganges Town-ship
Allegan Co. With victory for King Je-sus.
The Church was delivered from false
ideas, and much strengthened and settled
in the deeper things of God. Great convic-tion
rested upon the people. Some got to
the Lord and were saved, while others re-sisted
their conviction, and are still lost.
Three followed the Lord in the ordinance
of baptism, witnessing their death to the
world, and their resurrection to a new life
in Christ Jesus. Bro. J. W. Daugherty-.
and Bro. Cole joined with us in the meet-ings,
who done good work for the Lord,
From Ganges we all came here, commenc-ed
meeting_ last night in the name of the
Lord Jesus. • Our address will still be Grand
Junction, Mich.
Yours in Christ, under the blood. A-men
!

DEAR BRETHREN:— I feel impressed to
write a few lines for the glory of God.
Praise His holy name forever! I am still
on the sea of glass that is mingled with
fi - e."— Rev. 15: 8. Glory to God for the
victory over the beast. I was a good Meth-odist
for over tweenty one years, and then
dropped all profession for nearly three
years, and said I would never have any-thing
more to do with the sects. I tried to
be a Universalist, had po joy, no • peacel
light of the Gospel, and He has delivered
me from sectisrn and all sin, and made me
happy in. His love. I do glorify God for
what Re has done for me. Praise the Lord!
I have been very much afflicted in body,
and ask you all to earnest], pray that the
Lord may heal me. I believe He will do
it. Pray also that I may be kept by His

DEAR SAINTS:— I feel led to write what
the Lord has so wonderfully done for me.
I am saved from all sin and am kept by
the power of God, and am sinking more
and more into His will. Glory be to His
holy name! Ipraise His holy name this
morning for His wonderful healing power.
I was afflicted and had to keep my bed sev-en
weeks. Every one said I had the Con-sumption,
and some told me I would be
here but a short time. But glory to God,
He always leads His children in the way
that pleases Him. I was led to comply
with the Word in Jas. 5: 14, and was won-derfully
healed. Praise the Lord forever.

HEALED OF THE LORD.
To ALL THE SAINTS GREETMG:— I want
to give in my testimony on the Lord's side.
God has healed my poor body. Bless His
holy name ! My suffering has been in-describable.
But bless His holy name, He
has healed me. I used a great deal of med-icine
and received no relief, so quit taking
medicine and wrote to the Trumpet for
prayers for the healing of my back. Well
bless God! I knew when the healing was
going on in my back. Bless the name of
God forever. We would love to have Bro.
D. S. Warner and Co. to come out here and
hold meeting. There are but two saints at
this place.

DEAR SAINTS: — I feel glad this morning
for a present salvation, and although we
are not rich - in this worlds goods I have a
right to the tree of life. Satan has been
hard after me, but God is as true as His
Word, His grace is sufficient to ward of
the enemy. He knows all my needs and is
an all- sufficient Savior. As I live in a place
where I seldom get to meet with the saints,
the Gospel Trumpet is a welcome visitor
to my home. Begging all God's children
to pray for me I remain your sister in Je-sus.

DEAR Bao.— I have been taking your
paper for quite a while, and was very glad
to read them, but they did not fit me just
right at all times. But I kept on reading.
I thought holiness was too big a word for
us at the present age. I thought sanctified
people only lived in old time. Now, dear
brother in Christ, forsuch you are to me
now, for your paper is right and I was
wrong, I would be pleased to add my testi-mony
with those of the dear brethren and
sisters that I read in your paper. I believe
it will be to the glory of God. Confession
is good for the soul. I did not see how we
could be holy in this lire until last Sabbath
evening, when I was reading the Bible.
Glory to God I He gave me faith to step
out upon His promises. " Be ye holy for I
am holy." 0 the blessing came. Glory to
our blessed Lord! He saved and sanctified
me. 0 I was so happy, I laughed and
praised God for I could not help it. ' My wife
said that was what she had been praying
for so long. We are a saved family. Bless
God for salvation unspeakable and full of
glory. Pray for me that I may stand firm.
Your saved brother.

FREE IN JESUS.
66 ROM the Son maketh free is free
e2e) indeed." The Lord never in-tended
that souls should be in bondage to
sin and sectism. He created man in His
own image ( in holiness) to glorify Aim, to
do His will and not the will of man. In
the sects men are not free, but in bondage
with . a grievous yoke upon their neck, with
straps and bands to bind them down. All
this I now realize as I stand aloof from sin
babel, and look upon her as a piece of fool-
:: ishoesss, blinding souls and sending them
down to eternal ruin. When I was con-verted
I had never heard anything about
holiness, and did not know that the sects
were not the church, and as I had been
taught that it was right and proper to join
the church, not knowing that we were born
into the Church by conversion, and that to
stand outside was to be considered as in
the world without hope, I gave my name
to the preacher of the United Brethren.
This society should now be called divided
quarrelers as it is split into two factions,
and each party are quarreling with the oth-er
as to which is right. I did not here find
everything at peace and harmony ; neith-er
did I find the love existing that should
e'ist among Christians. There were fre-quent
eruptions that would mar the peace
of all honest and sincere Christians. I no-ticed
that the different societies did not fel-lowship
each other as they should. They
seemed to be jealous of each other, all of
this I could not understand. I could not
see why there should be a division be-tween
God's children, and why those of
different denominations could not fellow-ship
each other as they should. When the
Lord led me into the ministry, I saw this
more clearly, but how to mend matters I
could not tell, and was greatly puzzled o-ver
the matter. I found there was confu-sion
among the ministers; they were jeal-ous
of each other, and would frequently
work against each other in the conferences.
This I knew was not right. I also found
out another thing that troubled me greatly,
the presiding elders whom I had looked
upon as godly men, were not living up to
their profession; some were guilty of one
meanness and some of another, and all
were more of less full of levity, engaging
in foolish conversation that was not profit-able
to the soul. When the Lord gave me
light on the true Church I was ready to
step out from all sects and be free. For
this act I was censured, but praise the
Lord. I would rather be a door- keeper in
the house of the Lord than to sit or dwell
in the tents of wickedness. While in the
sect I was ruled by a presiding elder and had
to obey orders, or run the risk of being re-ported
to higher ecclesiastical powers, and
get reprimanded by the bishop, or be set
aside in disgrace; but I praise the Lord
that I have no one to lord over me now but
Jesus, who is my elder brother and the
bishop of my soul. The Lord gave me the
light on the true Church, and also the
light on sanctification as a second work.
I did not get it from man, neither was I
led by man, and now I am preaching a free
and full salvation from sin. God does not
want His people in bondage but is calling
' hem to come out. I have been offered
good salary to preach in the sect, but to go
back and join the sect would be for- me to
backslide and lose my soul, this I cannot
. afford to do.

WONDERFULLY HEALED OF CON-SUMPTION,
AND SAvEn TO
THE UTTERMOST.
• DEAR Tauererr READERS:- The dear Lord
has brought me up from such depths of
weakness and affliction, suffering and dis-couragements
into His great and glorious
light, and' and so lovingly keeps me
day by ; day that I feel I should tell it for
His glory, and. with the hope and desire
that it may encourage and lead some other
sick and despairing soul to the great and
mighty Physician, who so tenderly Booths
and. heals both soul and body. I have
nursed and buried my whole family con-sisting
of husband and five children. Also
two grandchildren, who were all victims to
that terrible disease Consumption. The
last of the family, my beloved son, was
taken from me about eight months ago,
during whose sickness and death I was
brought low with nervous prostration and
extreme grief. I used medicines until I
found that they were of no earthly use to
me, and I kept growing weaker and weak-er.
A slowlingering fever, a severe cough,
and a horrible feeling of suffocation caused
by inflamation of the bronchial tubes
caused me to give up all hopes of life. All
those symptom kept increasing, coughed
harder, had pain in my side and chest con-tinually,
sometimes sharp and cutting,
sometimes dull and aching, chills in the
fore part of the day, and in the afternoon
hectic fever, terrible night sweats, profuse
expectoration, loss of appetite, swelling of
the limbs, etc., which, beyond all doubts,
were the last stages of Consumption. This
was my condition when on the 14th of
March 1891 Bro. J. W. Byers of this city
called to see me, and asked me if I was a
child of God, to which I could truthfully
answer, yes. When he told me that God
had provided for the healing of the body
as well as for the soul, and that God is not
the author of disease, and would heal all
who would comply with His requirements,
and_ grasp the promise for healing, I said,
yes, I believe those promises for healing
as much as any of the rest of God's Word,
but did not seem able to claim them for
myself. This dear brother dealt very plain-ly
with me in taking me through a search-ing
consecration, and. when I saw the re-quirements
in order to believe I was sure
that I could lay hold of the blessed Mas-ter,
and never let him go until I was sanc-tified
and healed. I was willing and ready
tobe anointed for healing. Accordingly
four of the Lord's elect met in my room at
4 P. M. the next day. The night before
this had been a sleepless and restless one
on account of my low physical coudition, but
my faith was strong. These dear saint
now offered up earnest prayer, which went
up to the throne as incense, and was heard
and answered by the Father. I shalinever
forget the sweet consciousness of God's pres-ence
filling that little room with a glory not
of earth as my head was anointed with oil.
Then once more thepromisegwere claimed
forme, His sick and suffering child, while
I lay passive at His feet. Then they be-gan
softly to sing e She only touched the
hem of His garment,'" and 0 praise His
dear name forever! even as they uttered
these words the mighty deed was done.
Throw: h all my chilled and dying body th
warm life blood went rushing. I felt the
glow of anew life, a delicious warmth pen-etrated
my clammy limbs, the pain and
soreness left my throat and lungs, I breathed
with ease, and raising myself up in bed I
stretched out my hands and exclaimed, 0
thank God! I am healed. I cannot find
words to express the peace and joy that
fills all my soul and body as I realize that
am again a well woman. That night my rest
was so sweet and unbroken by either cough
or sweating, and nest morning I arose and
dressed myself without assistance, walked
through one large room to the front door,
looting out upon this beautiful world
which I thought I should never see again,
thenwalked back to the kitchen, went to
the table and ate a hearty breakfast, for
with this new life came a hearty appetite
for food. I can now; and have from that
day been able to go about my work, often
walking a half mile or more to church
without fatigue. Blest and kept " exceed-ing
abundantly above all I could ask or
think." My body is not only healed but
my spiritual life is so wonderfully renewed
and strengthened. The dear Lord does
graciously- fulfill His promise to " keep in
perfect peace all those whose minds are
stayed on Him."

HEART CLEANSING IN T. Eth BLOOD.
E are admonished much in the New
Testament concerning false spirits,
teachers, doctrines, antichrists, etc. Take
heed how ye hear. ' Prove all things;
hold fast to that which is good.' Believe
not every spirit, but try the spirits by the
word. " All Scripitusre iis ngivsenp byire-tion

( not doctrines)."-- 2 Tim. 3: 16. " But the
word of the Lord eridureth forever, and this
is the word which by the Gospel is preached

an angel from heaven preach any other Gos-pel
unto you than that which we have
preached unto you, let him be accursed."-
Ga1.1: 8. And ver. 7, " There be some that
trouble you, and would pervert the Gospel
of Christ." Yes, hring in doctrines as spoken
of in 1 Tim. 4: 1, speaking perverse things to
draw away disciples after them. Acts 20: 30.
