Zinzendorfism is exposed, they try to
console themselves by saying, " The
Lord never does anything by halves.
The Lord does not half do anything,
but in our salvation hedoes two whole
works of grace. First, he takes away
the sins we have accumulated. Sec-ond,
he cleanses out thesin we inher-ited.
There are many scriptures that set
forth the two works of grace. They
are typified in this: And he looked
up, and said, I see men as trees, walk-ing.
After that he put his hands a-gain
upon his eyes, and made him
look up; and he was restored and
saw every man clearly.- Mark 8: 24,

2d. IGNORANCE convince any reasonable person: Ev-ery
branch in me that beareth not
fruit he taketh away: and every
branch that beareth fruit, he Purgeth
it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
- Jno. 14: 2. " If any man be in
Christ he is a new creature." It is
the new creatures that bear fruit,
them he purgeth,- KITHAIRo- clean-ses,
that they may bring forth more
fruit. Here, as well as in many other
places in the word, PURGE refers to
the taking away of depravity: Purge
me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:
wash me, and I shall be whiter than
snow.- Ps. 51: 7. And he laid it up-on
my mouth, and said, Lo, this
hath touched thy lips; and thine in-iquity
is taken away, and thy sin pur-ged.-
Isa. 6: 7. And he shall sit as
a refiner and purifier of silver: and
he shag purify the sons' of Levi, and
purge them as gold and silver, that
they may offer unto the Lord an off-ering
in righteousness.- Ual. 3: 3.
Purge out therefore the old leaven,
that ye may be a new lump, as ye are
unleavened: For even Christ our
passover is sacrificed for us.- r Cor.
5: 7. If a man therefore purge him-self
from these, he shall be a vessel
unto honor, sanctified, and meet for
the Master's use, and prepared unto
every good work.- 2 Tim. 2: 21. Sins
are forgiven, but depravity is purged,
or: cleansed, The Holy Ghost is the
sanctifier: That I should be the min-ister
of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles,
ministering the gospel of God, that
the offering up of the Gentiles might
be acceptable, being sanctified by the
Holy Ghost.- Rom. 15: 16. It was
what the disciples received on the
day of Pentecost, and it produced a
pure heart: And God which know-eth
the hearts, bore 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.- Acts 15: 8, 9. The
following scriptures show the Spirit
sanctifies: 2 Thes. 2: 13; i Pet. I:
22; Tit. 3: 5, 6; Eph, 4: 23, 24; Rom.
12: 2; Col. 3: ro. All these show a
second work of grace, and that sanc-tification
is subsequent to regenera-tion.
Therefore being justified by
faith, we have peace with God through
our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom also
we have access by faith into this grace
wherein we stand, and rejoice in the
hope of the glory of God.- Rom. 5:
And he said oz.

Teaching that the Holy Ghost was

made known to me the ways of life;
thou shalt make me full of joy with
thy countenance. Men and brethren,
let me freely speak unto you of the
patriarch David, that he is both dead
and buried, and his sepulchre is with
us unto this day.- Acts 2: 28, 29.
3d. GROWTH.
Those growth from sin to grace be-lievers
think they rest quite secure be-hind
their delusion; they are like the
silly ostrich, that wearied in a chase

Christ; they trust in delusive
fiction to wash away their sin. And
they are ever praying, yet never know
they are clean. This imaginary sav-ior
is but antichrist, who has been
set upon the throne of imputation to
deceive souls and drag them blind-folded
to hell.

is the pit in which the devil ensnares
many souls. In fact the emotionists
are legions, and the blessing ites are

of salvation, but are constantly
talking about a blessing they received
so many years ago, but do not refer to
because it cannot see none else can. their daily life of sinning, for they say,
A man might as well try to grow the no one can live without sin. God has

out a few plants in it, as to expect
spiritual growth to take out the old
man, or the adamic nature. Neither
addition nor multiplication will change
the nature of depravity, but subtract-ton
is necessary. But if we walk in
the light as he is in the light, we have
fellowship one with another, and the
blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleans-eth
us from all sin.- I Jno. I: 7. And
if we are cleansed from ALL sin we
have a clean heart: a pure heart
needs no cleansing. I have never
heard of any one growing into the
grace of justification, but I have heard
of people trying for thirty and forty
years to grow into sanctification; but
a close investigation proved that they
were farther from Canaan than when
they started.
A pure heart is received by faith.
And put no difference between us
and them, purifying their hearts by
faith.- Acts 15: 9. Jesus told Paul to
preach " forgiveness of sins, and the
inheritance among, them' that are
sanctified by faith," not growth.-
Acts 26: 18. Those growth ites say,
we cannot fall nor grow if we are sanc-tified;
and, if the depravity is taken
out of our hearts, we cannot be temp-ted.
Thus when they cannot find
safety any longer in their jesus
( growth) they try to hide behind
some flaw in holiness. Thank God!
there is no flaw in holiness; it is
an atribute of God; it is a part of
God himself. Whereby are given
unto us exceeding great and precious
promises; that by these ye might be
partakers of the divine nature, hav-ing
escaped the corruption that is in
the world through lust- 2 Pet. r: 4.
For he hath made him to be sin for
us, who knew no sin; that we might
be made the righteousness of God in
him.- 2 Cor. 5: 21. And have put on
the new man, which is renewed in
knowledge after the image of him
that created him.- Col. 3: io.
It is possible to fall. Adam fell
when he was holy. We can grow.
Purity is not maturity. A healthy
plant will grow much faster than a
dwarf. It is then that we abound,
and we are " neither barren nor un-fruitful."
2 Pet. is 8. We can and
will be tempted. It is them that are
sanctified that the devil offers the
largest premium for; but Jesus was
tempted, and he was holy. 0 ye
growth ites, where is your Jesus?
" Thou art wretched and miserable,
and poor, and blind, and naked."
Our Jesus says, I counsel thee to buy
of me gold tried in the fire, that thou
mayest be rich; and white raiment,
that thou mayest be clothed, and that
the shame of thy nakedness do not
appear; and anoint thine eyes with
eye salve that thou mayest see.-
Rev. 3: i8. Your weak, mean jesus
is but a devil with a theological cloak

A NEW BOOK,
— BY-E.
E. BYRUM.
This book is just fresh from the auth-or's
pen, and a glance at the contents is
enough to convince any one of its interest
and value to those seeking a more
thorough knowledge of the Divine Being,
- tnd his dealings with people at the pres-ent
time, as well as in days past.
The first part of the book very plainly
marks out the way from sin unto full sal-
, ration, according to the teaching of the
' sacred word.
It presents the gospel truth in such a
way as to throw a gleam of light into the
pathway of the sinner, and enable him to
see that there is hope beyond, through
the mercies of a blessed Redeemer.
The BELIEVER is led to see the beauties
of full salvation, and the joys in a life of
Christian perfection.

EDITORIAL NOTES.
" The way of the transgressor IS
hard."
None but the pure in heart shall
see God in peace.
There is hope for every sinner who
is willing to forsake sin and obey
God, and willing to begin NOW.

Free for all.
This issue of the Trumpet is sent
out early on account of the camp
meeting beginning this week. We
may have to miss our next issue or
at least be a little late in mailing it„
so our readers will not be surprised
if they fail to get it.
7 T has become a fact that if a per-
A. son professes to enjoy the bless-ing
of sanctification in these latter
times it is considered the height of
fanaticism. This is well pleasing to
a liar and his word is not in us. Then
after we are thus cleansed what will
we say to glorify God? We will tes-tify
to the cleansing work wrought by
faith in the blcod of the Lamb; that
though our sins were as scarlet, they
have become white as wool. There
is much said about overcoming this
sin and that, but we overcome by the
blood of the Lamb and the word of
our testimony. But suppose we are
given faith to believe we are cleansed
and refuse to testify to it; then the
fault of hiding our light under a bush-el
will be sin, and we are again in
darkness. With the heart man be-lieveth
- unto righteousness, and with
the mouth confession is made unto
salvation. Abraham believed God,
and it was accounted for righteous-ness.
As Moses lifted up the serpent
in the wilderness, so must the SOn of
man be lifted up, that whosoever
looketh on him in faith may be cleans-ed
from all impurity. Then they can
exclaim: " There is therefore now no
condemnation to them who are in
Christ Jesus, who walk not after the
flesh but after the Spirit. What shall
be the evidence of the cleansing? In
the place of a tendency to envy, jeal-ousy
and hatred, then is love, joy and
peace. Love to God and your neigh-bor.-
No strife for vain glory, for this
world has passed away and all things
have become new. The treasure is
in heaven, where is the object of our
love. The law of God is now writ-ten
in the heart. No cause for stum-bling
as long as we follow the Spirit.
Perfect love casteth out all fear which
hath torment. No fear now only of
offending the object of our love, caus-ing
great carefulness, but having per-fect
confidence in our leader we have
no fears of stumbling. Then why
should we not say, " I consecrated all
to him, and he has sanctified my soul.
Glory to his excellent name! I am
saved- from my sins, and am going on
from grace to glory." Many think
it takes a life struggle to get sanctified.
But we are not prepared to grow- in
grace and knowledge of the truth
without the Holy Spirit first to lead
us into truth. Knowledge puffeth up;
but charity edifieth. If any man lack
wisdom let him ask of God, who giv-eth
liberally and upbraideth not.
Sanctification is perfect love to God
and man, ° the fulfilling of the law, per-feet
obedience to our leader, our will
being swallowed in the will of God.

are already coming in from various
states, ready for the C. M. Fourteen
persons have arrived from Nebraska.
We expect a soul saving time and
victory in the name of Jesus.
Several have written to us regard-ing
Sunday Schools. There should
be one in every community if carried
on in the order of the Lord. Some
one chosen of the Lord should super-intend
the same and see that things
are properly carried on, and holy
teachers in charge of the classes, and
the children as well as older ones
properly instructed in the word of
God. Special pains should be taken
to lead them to Jesus and learn to
love his word and have a relish for
it. Prizes and such like, as would
have a tendency to detract from the
pure heavenly motive, should be a-voided.
Let there be classes suita-ble
to the age and ability of the
children. It is a good thing to have
regular childrens' meetings often, but
where there are children of all ages,
unless a very competent teacher is
in charge, all are not interested. At
such times a classified school is bet-ter.
SENDING- liAli- DKEROHIEFS.
A sister writes, what is to be done
with the handkerchief, whether it is
to be worn on the afflicted parts, etc
We answer that we certainly believe
that the actual power of God does
pervade the fabric when he directs his
servants to lay on hands and anoint
with oil, and send to the afflicted. But
the handkerchief need not be worn,
only lain for a short time upon the
afflicted part of the body. It takes
no longer for the divine virtue to flow
from the handkerchief into the body
than for his power to enter and heal
the sick through the hands of those
who have the healing gift. The tes-timony
in many cases has been when
such medium of healing has been
laid upon the body of the afflicted,
they felt the power of God go through
the body and witnessino- teo ta hhel-ing.
This conscious experience may
not always be to the same extent, but
if faith is firmly exercised the work
will be done all the same.
By reading Acts 29.:. 12, you will
learn that healing by this medium is
classed as " special miracles." It is
a - very sacred thing, even the con-veying
of the divine virtue and
power through the mail. It be-ing
a special miracle for God to heal
and cast out devils in this way, it
should be confined to special cases.
First, it should only be resorted to
when the afflicted reside where no el-der
of the church of God or member
having the gift of healing can be
calkd according to James. And,
moreover, the party cannot come to
the place of the assemby of the saints.
To send to some elder in the distance
for a hanqkerchief when God has true
eiders Ad gifts of healing in your
own community, or not far distant,
would be virtually ignoring those el-ders
and showing a respect of persons,
which is not pleasing to_ God. Many
are foolish enough to stagger in their
faith because the party laying on
hands is not so far advanced in years
and experience as some one else. Just
as if the man was to do the work!
Nay, who is Paul? " Less than the
least." And who is Appollas ? Only
1l ministersby whom ye believed, but
God gave the increase." " The Lord
will raise him up.- It is true " the
prayer of faith" must be offered, but
the smallest child of God can pray
the prayer of faith.
Second, the person wishing to send
for a handkerchief should pray over
it and be sure the Lord leads; and
be sure you have faith in God to re-ceive
the healing, without which the
faith of others cannot heal you. And
let such as receive such calls take it
to God in prayer; and if the Spirit
leads you to respond, take the hand.
kerchief and anoint it with oil as you
would the sick, then lay hands upon
it as you would upon the body of the
afflicted, and let the prayer of faith
go up to God and the work will be
done. Amen.

THE HEALING OF THE BODY
constitutes the second part of the book.
This consists of twenty- six chapters on
doctrinal subjects, exposing and Over-throwing
false ideas and theories concern-ing
the healing power in these last days,
showing when, how, and under what cir-cumstances
and. conditions God heals the
sick and afflicted at the present time.
It gives a history and testimonies of
healing from the time of Abraham,
through the different ages, up to the
present time.
The third part of the book consists of
the
WITNESSES OF TO DAY.
These are wonderful testimonies of per-sons
who have been healed within the
last few years by divine power; such as
being instantly restored to sight after hav-ing
been blind for years; the lame throw
away their crutches; broken bones are
instantly healed; invalids who have suf-fered
for years immediately arise and walk,
after the prayer of faith is offered, etc.
The author is personally acquainted with
' nearly all the parties vrtho have herein
given their testimonies, and gives their
names and addresses in the book, so
that persons doubting the truthfulness
of the same can write to the parties them-selves,
It will be a precious volume to those who
are- afflicted in either soul or body. The
chapters on faith, and also other subjects,
will strengthen the faith of the reader,
and aid in a closer walk with Him who is
the " giver of every good and perfect gift."

applied to the Sabbath it is a day set

to them so. As St. Paul said, when he

DEAR SAINTs: This morning finds
me saved and sanctified, and healed
of bodily disease of which I suffered
for many years, but for nearly twelve
years I have not had a rheumatic pain.
I also Was mashed up eleven years
ago by a fallen barn, and my wife not
then in the faith had a doctor, and he
held counsel with another, and they
said I must die inside of three hours.
But God healed me and stoped the
blood, and for almost ten years I
have proclaimed the truth out
side all sects in the church of God. I
preach the word, justified by faith
and a second work of grace, or sanc-tified
by faith, and healing by faith
and prayer. I practice it as did the a-postles.
I go as the commission is
given me in the word, or to the twelve
and seventy; for we have no other
way to measure only by the word of
the , Lord. This is a little of my ex-perience
for the good of some one,
and for God's glory. I am in the
work constantly. Eight... were saved
week before last, and were baptized.
I am kept by power divine. Pray for
me and the congregations of , God
where I go.
Yours in the Lord,
Jos. P. Merrill.
NSWS 12011 TZE rrsta We went to the water yesterday,
where three dear souls followed Jesus
in the precious ordinance of baptism.
In the evening we met at Bro. Philips,
where we followed our blessed Mas-ter's
example in washing the saints'
feet, and commemorated his death
in partaking of the bread and wine.
Oh, how the Lord blessed our souls
in obeying these precious commands!
We had to rebuke a pernicious spirit
who held to the one work theory and
still tried to assemble in fellowship
with the saints_ Bro. Philips has con-secrated
all to the Lord and expects,
prayers that God may bring them off the Lord willing, to purchase a tab-more
than conquerors through Jesus
Christ, to whom be glory forever.
Meeting closed June ist, with a prec-ious
ordinance service, and Jesus ver-ified-
his promise: " If ye know these
things happy are ye if ye do them."
On the following eve we took train
for Kansas City, Mo. and have been
stopping with Brother and Sister_ Pen-dergrass
of Sheffield, Mo, since. Have
held three services, and a number of
hands were raised for prayers. We
start, the Lord willing-, this evening for

At the beginning of the meeting this
question kept revolving in our minds:
" Lord, wilt thou at this time restore
again the kingdom to Israel?" And
the answer was, qt is not for you to
know the times or the seasons, which
the Father hath put in his own pow-er,
but ye shall receive power after
the Holy Ghost is come upon you."
And it was so: every one that received
the Holy Ghost got the power. Glory
to God! Some have been powerfully

ROANOKE, IND.
DEAR SAINTS: About thirty- four
years ago in answer to prayer and
repentance' the Lord pardoned my
sins and made me happy in his love.
I soon became convicted that there
was a deeper work of grace for me,
but it was many years before I heard
any preaching on that line. Four
years ago I was taken sick, and lay
in bed over two years, taking medi-cines
to no avail. I could not sit or
stand. One day as I was read-ing
the last chapter of Mark, I believ-ed
that God would heal me. One of
the saints came and prayed for me
and laid OH hands, and in three weeks
I could be up and walk.
Last Dec. I met with an accident,
and the doctor said I must die. Af-ter
many days' suffering, the saints
took my case to the Lord and laid
on hands in the name of the Lord;
and while they were singing, the di-vine
blessing came and I arose to my
feet praising God for his healing
power. To him be all praise! -
Mrs'. J. W. McCaughey.

I am glad to report that I am still

the Lord! We have received sever-al
sample copies of Satan's sheets:
Such as JOHN THREE, SIXTEEN, ZION'S
WATCH TOWER, THE GOOD WAY,
GOSPEL SWORD, etc. But it only takes
a glance over their pages to see they
are deceived of the devil. All pre-tending
to fight Babylon, and at the
same time yoked up with her. May
God help ail the honest ones to flee
out of babylon, and all the dishonest
ones to get saved. I am so glad God
has opened my eyes and enabled me
to discern between good and evil.

DEAR SAINTS: I feel like writing
my testimony this beautiful Sabbath
morning for the first time. I am prais-ing
G6d for what he has done for me.
I was converted to God when I was
sixteen years of age, and have lived
an up and down life. I joined the
F. W. B. sect, and have lived there
ever since. But ever since I heard of
the oneness in the body of Christ I
have not been satisfied there. But
I do praise the Lord this morning, I
feel more determirred by the grace
of God to go on to perfection. Oh,
dear saints, pray for me that I may
get thoroughly established in the
doctrine of Christ. Pray for the sin
darkened people in Mo.

DEAR BRETHREN: We praise the
Lord to day for a glorious salvation
and victory in _ our souls, and are
glad to report that the church at this
place is in good condition. We are
having glorious meetings and the
work of God is moving on. We are
building a house of worship at this
place for the Lord this summer. The
weather has been unfavorable thus
far for the work to progress, but Fath-er
knows what is best for his children,
and we are subject to his providence
with all patience; but we are expect-ing
more favorable weather soon, and
better roads.- But the work is still
going on in our hearts and In our
prayers, and by faith we see the
house complete for the Lord, in
whose name we labor; knowing that
. except the Lord build the house they
labor in vain that build it; and except
. the Lord keep the city, the watchman
waketh but in vain. Any one feel-ing
directed to help us in this work
' here will please send their offerings
- to Bro. Thomas Smith, Payne, 0.,
. and it will be gladly and thankfully
received. We expect, the Lord will-ing,
to have an assembly meeting
' here as soon as the house is ready.
Bro. A. J. Kilpatrick has been absent
from home for some time laboring
in the South in company with Bro.
J. N. Howard. Bro. and Sister Wor-den

Lewis Basore is making his home

Bro's Warden and Basore are
laboring with us at carpentering,

that have consecrated their service
to the Lord. Let the saints every-where
pray for us and the work here.

To ALL TIIE DEAR SAINTS EVERY-WHERE:
May the love of God be shed
abroad in your hearts by the Holy
Ghost. Amen. In our last report we
had just arrived at Atlanta, Kan.
Our hearts were made so sad to see
God's work in such a languishing con-dition,
after laboring so hard and faith-ful
at that place during the Bangor
camp meeting last year. We also
requested special prayer to go up from
the camp of the saints in behalf of
the work at Atlanta, and we do know
God did wonderfully answer prayer.
But on returning many said, " Things
are in a worse condition than they
were a year before!' The cause was
easily discovered, and it was this : man-
31 refused to obey the instructions
given by the word of God, consequent-ly
we became a savor of death unto
death. But as Joshua said, " all that
have obeyed the voice of the Lord
vice at Glenn Mich. before the camp
meeting.

LATER.
June 9th. We had a precious little
ordinance service with Brother and
Sister Pednergrass just before tak
ing, train. The melting power of God
was upon all. Truly it. was the crown-ing
blessing of the short visit. The
Lord gave us a safe journey with quiet
waters on the Lake, for which we give
much thanks to the dear Lord, and
also to the saints who remembered
us at a throne of grace. Bro, Fry
was at South Haven in good time

I will, the Lord willing, assist in
the work on the new campground.

folks came from Decatur, Ind. to at-tend
the meeting; two of them were
saved during the theeting. We had a
glorious ordinance meeting Lord's
day evening. Forty- two took part
in the ordinance meeting, and ten
were baptized. The Lord is wonder-fully
working on the hearts of the
people at this place. Quite a number
have been saved within the past two
months. Almost every prayer meet-ing

DEAR SAINTS OF GOD: Grace and
peace be multiplied unto you. We
came to this place four weeks ago,
but on account of continued rain were
unable to do much in the way of
holding meetings for the first two
weeks. After the weather became
settled people were so busy planting
their crops that it was impbssible to
get any save a few saints to attend
meetings during the week. - We were
obliged to _ hold services in private
houses, the saints having been shut
out of the school- house. Only a few
attended the meetings, but the Lord
was with us in power, enabling us to
rightly divide the word of truth.
Two dear souls who had backslidden
came to the Lord and were restored;
and another who had been deceived by
the one work heresy confessed his'er-ror,
and covenanted to get free en-tirely.
One dear soul also who had
never heard the evening light came
to Jesus forsaking the Advent faith,
and was gloriously saved by the
washing of regeneration, and the re-newing
of the Holy Ghost. Praise

DEAR SAINTS: I am glaorthat I can
report through the Trumpet that I
am saved to the uttermost, sanctified
by a second work of grace and kept by
the mighty power of God, Brother
and Sister Howard felt that God had
called them to labor in his vineyard,
and being led of the Lord to go to
Saegertown., Pa., they obeyed the
call, an- d found the way open for a
meeting, They wrote for me to come
and help in the work, which I did in
the name of the Lord, We found
the people starving for the pure gos-pel.
Many came out to hear the pure
gospel. The people believed and ac-knowledged
that it was the truth, and
confessed that the gospel had never
been preached there before. I was
in that place for two weeks, when my
family wrote for me to come home.
There is a grand opening. Any one
feeling led to go and help Brother
Howard, address him at Saegertown,
Pa.
I am terribly afflicted with salt-rheum
and have often asked to be
healed; and when I went out in the
work it seemed to get better, and as
soon as I would come home, it was
worse than ever. Now I intend leaving
home, husband and children and give
all my time to him that doeth all
things well. My family are willing
that I should go, and whenever God
sees fit to send me, then I will go. I
want all the dear saints to pray for
God to heal me of this affliction.
Your sister all on the altar,

DEAR BRETHREN: The book on
" Divine Healing" received, and I must
say it is a grand sermon to both saints
and sinners. The testimonies are
wonderful, which we read with tears
flowing down our cheeks. Our little
seven year old boy was lying sick
with a fever, and when we had fami-ly
worship, I asked him if we should
ask the Lord to heal him, to which
he consented and promised to be-lieve
with us. So we asked God to
heal him, and as soon as we were done
praying he was better, and got up and
dressed himself. Praise the Lord!

me to have hands laid on, and praise

Nannie S. Thompson, wife of D. W„
Thompson, we feel it our duty to
cheerfully submit to this dispensa-tion
of his providence, knowing that
" All things work together for good to
them that love the Lord." And as
we love him, and as she loved him
even unto the end of her life, we
feel that it is for our good and his
glory, and we will bless his holy name
forever.
Sister Nannie professed faith in
Christ some years ago, and last Sept.
was sanctified through faith in the

Almighty God, who so loved the

Son, that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish, but have everlast-gain.

They are not willing to forsake
all to follow Jesus in this world,
but like the Jews they think there
will come a jesus that will set up an
earthly kingdom, and they will receive
an honored position, and then they will
accept salvation without any cross. 0
how pleasing this is to the worldling;
it is the god of his heart; he at once is
intoxicated with the hell redemption

not the truth, but had pleasure in un-righteousness.—

OE unto the wicked; it shall
c c be ill with him, for_ the
reward of his hands shall be given
him.— Isa. 3: II.
This injunction and promise holds
good in the case of each transgression,
whether spiritual or temporal. Not-ice
Exodus 2o: 5, where God says,
" He will visit the iniquity of the fath-ers
upon the children unto the third
and fourth generation of them that
hate him, i. e., those who keep not his
commandments. How many unfor-tunate
individuals do we find all over
the land, who are afflicted with either
this or that disease, because their par-ents
have injudiciously exposed them-selves
to the approaches of the ills to
which all flesh is heir. Then disease
can be, and is transmitted to posterity
just the same as physical, mental, and
moral endowments. " Man is fearfully
and wonderfully made." Having
strength to control all the beasts of the
field, he yet has an organism so deli-cate
and sensitiVe, that a slight change
in the atmosphere affects him very
perceptibly. " Those who cast their
bread upon the waters, find that after
many days it returns to them. Eccl. II:
I. We then while accountable for
the deeds done in the body, are by no
means the only sufferers. Genera-tions
yet unborn will rise up to bless,
or curse us according as we have o-beyed
the laws of nature, and of nat-ure's
god. A physician was once call-ed
in to visit a patient, and finding
him suffering from a hereditary dis-ease,
said, " Had a doctor been
called in one hundred years a N, you
could have been cured," or words to
that effect. How many people, to
day, suffer untold miseries because of
this unchangeable law of God. Yet
it is as just and as perfect as God him-self
could make it. Mankind should
remember that the comfort, not only
of themselves, but of posterity de-pends
upon their obeying God's laws
of health, written on the tables of all
flesh. What difference can there be
in committing suicide to day, and in
virtually doing the same, to take ef-feet
after you have passed away?
This is a question of vast importance
to the human family; vast in its appli-cation,
monstrous in its evidences of
to day. Many a poor helpless, inva-lid
looks and longs for death to end
the life this side of the grave: souls
unprepared, unfitted to serve God
mentally or physically; all in fulfill-ment
of the word of God. Allow
poisons to become a part of your diet
and your children, and children's
children will have an appetite for the
same. • Expose your bodies to the
mercies of wind and weather and you
lay the foundations of consumption
and kindred aliments for yourself and
others yet unborn. Do you think
this cruel? As a man sows he shall
reap. Sow the wind; you reap the
whirlwind. Like seeds sown in good
ground; ground broken up, prepared
by indiscretions, some brings forth
thirty, some Sixty, and some an hun-dred
fold. Guard your bodies from
these enemies that beset them. Sure-ly
in vain the net is spread in the
sight of any bird.-- Prov. r: 17. The
watchmen who stand on the walls of
Zion have a duty along this line, and
along the whole line of health. They
should inform themselves in respect
to God's health laws. Representives
of the Gfeat Physician, they should
be able to tell Jacob his transgres-sions,
as well as Israel his sins. When
people are made whole, be able to
tell them ( describing their sin) to go
and sin no more, lest a worse thing
come upon them. ReTembering
that God is merciful and long suffer-ing,
not willing that any should perish.
Prove all things. There are millions t
of living ( existing rather) witnesses to d
these truths, and you will not need to s
search far to find the required two or j
three sufficient to establish every t
word. Remember posterity and Z
yourself when tempted to commit any s
act of indiscretion. Ex. 20; 5. Should f
God in his mercy remove the effects n
am, and in the face of all these scrip-tures
contending for sin!
Jesus lived a sinless life, and his
word says, " as he is so are we in
this world." And he also says, " he
that believeth on me, the works that
I do, shall he do also; and greater
works than these shall he do." The
true children of God believe his word
and are not afraid to trust him.
They lay hands on the sick, and they
are healed; they cast out devils in the
name of Jesus; and do many wonder-ful
works in his name. Get in har-mony
with God and it will be an easy
matter to obey his commands, and
follow in his footsteps, where you
can learn of him.

MY EXPERIENCE.
There are just two classes of peo-ple
in the world; viz., saints and sin-ners;
or in other words, the children
of God and the children of the devil.
They who commit sin are of the devil.
— I Jno. 3 : 8. And in the next verse
we read that " Whosoever is born of
God doth not commit sin." Then
when you hear a person contending
for sin, you may rest assured that
that person is a sinner every time,
and by turning to Jno. 2: 8, you can
find which side of the line he is on.
When our foreparents were in the
garden of Eden, they were holy;
were on a plane with God. But
when they sinned they fell from their
holy state, and begat children in their
own likeness instead of in the like-ness
of God ( Gen. 5: 3.), a. nd thus sin
passed upon all men. This evil in-herited
nature is what makes the
child sin as soon as old enough to
know right from wrong, and be- re-sponsible
for the same. The Psalm-ist
says: " Behold I was shapen in in-iquity,
and in sin did my mother con-ceive
me."
„_„ In Matt. 21, we read that Jesus
came to save his people FROM [ not
in] their sins. And all are invited to
come unto him and be saved. Matt.
1 : 28- 30; Jno. 3: 16.
No sinner Can enter heaven, for it
is a holy place, and " without holiness
no man shall see the Lord." Jesus
commands all men everywhere to re-pent,
and says, " Except a man be
born again he cannot see the king-dom
of God."— Jno. 3: 3. This is a
spiritual_ birth, having pardon of all
sins committed through repentancelof grace." What an awful condition
for any one to be in! And I surely did
feel the weight of being lost as much
so as if God had stood before me
and pronounced the awful sentence,
" You are lost, lost through all eterni-ty."
For six months I - went on in this
state of mind, mourning myself as lost,
being ignorant of God and his word,
not knowing that it was the goodness
of God that was leading me to repent-ance.
And as I think over my
past experience and also knowing
the weight of beinglost, then to think
of the countless millions that must
stand before God and have the aw-ful
sentence pronounced upon them,
" Depart from me, ye cursed, into ev-erlasting
fire, " where mercy can nev-er
reach them; I cry unto him," Make
me more efficient in the work of the
Lord."
Though the devil had made me be-lieve
there were no hope for me, yet
the first meeting that I attended
after I was so convicted, I was con-vinced
by God's word that there was
salvation for me. Isa. r: 18,—" Come
now, and let us reason together, saith
the Lord; though your sins be as
scarlenthey shall be as white as snow;
though they be red like crimson, they
shall be as wool." Well, as I was in
a good condition to reason with him
and give heed to his word, where
he says, " Let the wicked forsake
his way, and the unrighteous man his
thoughts; and let him return unto the
Lord and he will have mercy upon
him; and to our God, for he will a-bundantly
pardon;" I just obeyed
God, and he verified his promises to
me. I was first saved in Alameda,
Cal. by a miracle of God's grace, out-side
of all creeds or organilations
and afterwards for the lack of proper
teaching was made to believe that I
must join something else and have
a home in order to work more sue_
cessfully for the Lord; and having
more zeal than knowlege, I was led
captive in Babylon known as the Sal-vation
Army. The fact was it proved
to be a very disagreeable stepmother
home, of which I got very tired. " 13
Lord our God, other lord's beside
thee have had dominion over us,
but by thee only will we make men_ I
tion of thy name."
About- three years ago when Bra's
Kilpatrick and Speck were in Neb.
preaching, I understood by the
Holy Ghost that my mother was still
living," jerusIam which is above, which
is the mother of us all."— Gal. 4: 26.
So I rejected all other lords, and
obeyed the God of heaven, and he
brought me back into my own land,
where I found good pasture ( Eze. 34:
13, 14.), and since the Lord has fully
delivered me out of all eonfusion. He
has called me to work in his vineyard
for the salvation of souls; although
ignorant and unlearned, I am going
forth in the name of the Lord to
prophesy according to the proportion
of faith that God has given me.
Though we cannot preach much, we
will trust God for an abundance of
grace to enable us to live what we
preach. I ask the prayers of all God's
saints.

shall overflow the , hiding place. And
your covenant with death shall be
disannulled, and your agreement with
hell shall not stand; 15.7hen the over-flowing
scourge shall pass through,
then ye shall be trodden down by it.
— Isa.. 28: 16- 18. Brethren, let us gird
our loins with truth, and go forth to
the battle of the great God. It will
take much holy drilling down at the
foot of the cross to defeat these anti-christ
deceivers that are stalking a-broad

mentioned are but a few of the false
christs that are held up to the people
to day by the antichrist religions.

WE LAND, ONT.
A FULL SALVATION DEfAR SAINTS AND TRUMPET READ-ERS:
I feel led to‘ write my experience
to the Trumpet, a sketch at least. And
as I have little or no talent in the di-rection
of writing, I trust you will
bear with me. I was born in south-west
Iowa, Taylor Co. Lived there
or near there until I was twenty- seven
years old. My mother died when I
was two years old, and my father
died when I was about twelve; and as
my father made no profession of sal-vation,
I was raised without prayer;
and never knew what prayer was in
my home. It pains my heart to say
this, but such was the case. After my
father, died I had brothers and sisters,
and many kind friends who were
ready and willing to see to my tempor-al
wants. But none could point me to
the Lamb of God that taketh away
the sin of the world. So I grew " up
ignorant of salvation; the olderi got,
the harder hearted I became, and
naturally of course drifted into wick-edness,
such as swearing, drinking, etc.
The spring I was twenty- seven
years old I went out on the western
coast, and there found less Christian-ity
than where I was raised. So I
went from bad to worse, until pen
cannot describe the depth of degrada-tion
that the devil got me into; for I
was led captive by the devil at his
own will. I went on in this state for
about five years, and had not been to
meeting of any kind for years; then I
began to realize my condition. Surely
" the horrors of hell compassed me a-bout"
in this awful hour, or time of
darkness and conviction. Being ig-norant
of God and his word, the dev-il
says, " You have sinned away the day
according to i Jno. I : 9. The sinner
having offered himself dead in tres-passes
and sins, is now made alive in
Christ, and is ready to make the of-fering
of a " living sacrifice" according
to Rom. 12: I, 2, and enter the stand-ing
grace. Rom. 5: 2. The first gives
access to the second. The second is
sanctification, it is a cleansing, i purg-ing
process, and destroys the seed of
sin, that evil nature which Satan
planted in the heart; and the word
says, " Every plant which my heaven-ly
Father hath not planted shall be
rooted up." This sinful nature is
_ one Of those plants which the sanc-tifying
grace roots up and purge,
out. Yea, he will " cleanse us from
all unrighteousness."— i Jno. r: 9.
We do not claim to reach a point
of experience where it is an imposi-bility
for us to sin, or fall from grace.
But we do say that a person cannot
sin and remain a child of God. A
converted or a justified life is a sin-less
life, because God does not justify
any one in committing sin.
After being pardoned, the com-mand
is, " Go on unto perfection;
for this is the will of God even
your sanctification."— I Thess. 4: .3.
Christ says, " Be ye holy for I am ho-ly."
" Be ye therefore perfect even as
your Father which is in heaven is
perfect."— Matt. ` 5: 48. And " serve
him without fear, in holiness and
righteousness before him, all the
days of our life."— Luke 1: 75. For
" without holiness no man shall see
the Lord." " And I pray God your
whole spirit and soul and body be
preserved blameless unto the coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ." Shame
on any one professing to be a Christ-
MERIDIAN, MISS.

my soul, and the Lord has also taken
my appetite for tobacco away fro'
me. Praise His holy name for-ever!
Before I was saved I tried toi
quit, but all in vain; I could Iwt
quit; but after I got saved it was no

the Lord does all things well to them
that trust in him. Glory to God in
the highest! Pray for me and nlY
