taitell it in the' new birth; in
their confusion they say they are going to
grow into it, step by step, accenting to
their own works. Let us put . the ques-thou
; What is entire sanctification ? 2
How in' obtained ? Now we shall give
a Bible answer - to these questions, so that
they who read understand, for the
wise shall shine, when illunnuated by the
Sanctifier of their souls. We testify bold-
1. Cin the lace of all men, - and the Lord
Jesus Christ, that entire sanctification is
entire heart- lenity, not relative purity, bet
absolute purity-, " even as He is pure."
But carnal preachers say the Bible does
not teach entire sanctification. What then
does it teach? does it teach " the very God
of peace sanctify yon ( partly) or wHoLLT?"
The Scriptures - use the word " woit r. r., y,"
which means ENTIRELY. Yet these growl-ing
beasts are snarling and howEng around,
crying out, '‘ God never d oes
halves." No one, if they will stop to rea-son,
ean fail to discern their ungodly con-fusiou,
and the shallowness of their silly
arguments, for no tWo peints agree togeth-er,
and not one with the Scriptures. They-are
going to grow into it, for God does it
pet by halves, but by small parcels. They
say first, " God does it all at once," next
they are going to grow into it, thus declars
- in' Lie does it by small parcels, according
to their own pharisaical works of righteons-ness.
- 0 shame 011 Such shameful confu-
Sian, and insults - to the God of Heaven !
Such preachers would make better ox
drivers, than Shepherds. Since the Script-eres
teach the purification of the soul, body
and spirit, he w can it be obtained by growth
" Can the Ethiopian change his - skin, pr
the leopard his Spots ? Can a man make
himself pure ? If se, thee can ye obtain it
upon your own merits, and works. How
readest thou le Let uS appeal to the Word
of God. Are wesaved by growth, or 1- yv
works? , No.
" But after that the kindness and love of God our
Savior to- ward man appeared, Not by works of right-eousness
which we have done, but according to His
mercy lie savect. ns, by the washing of regeneration,
and renewing of theHoly Ghost ; Which He shed
oh us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior."
- Titus 3: 4, ' 5, 6.-
" Who hadhsaved us, and called us with an holy
calling, n

His own purpose and grace, which was give us in
Christ Jesus before the world begao;" 7- 2

Thus came the fiend in Edon fair,
The woman's heart to win,
With charming words of wisdom rare,
He plunged the earth in sin.
And go betrayed Delilah to,

His secret did unfold.
Again in hell the council sat,
Renewed the cursed plan,
That Adam saw, and Samson met,
TO overthrow the man.
And instrument adroitly used,
A plot infernal, black,
To quench the burning present truth,
And turn delberance back.
Loud rang a shout of babel joy,
Supposing truth had died:
But forth she came, without alloy,
The better, being tried.
We still are joined in Edon's bond,
Of matrimony true:
While life endures yet indissolved,
It binds my heart to you.
No court of man, nor satan's power
Can disannal the tie:
Though spirits rent, in evil hour,
" One flesh," are you and I.
No face so fair, no heart so warm,
Upon this verdant sod,
Shall alienate with rival charm
The wife received of God.
So I will walk with God alone,
And bless His holy name,
Till He shall bring the alien home
To dwell in love again.
Here I will close. my present rhyme;
But ever pray for you,
That God may give you back again,
The heart of woman true.
Then touched by sweet seraphic sfrains,
With all the Heav'thy throng
Pll shout aloud my Savior's praise.
And sing another song.

earth is mount Zion, on the sides of the
north, a City of the great King: God is
known in Her palaces for a refuge.--- Psa.
48: 2, 3. The only way to get into this
City of refuge, is to get into Christ, for He
is the way, the truth and the' ] ife._ J011 lI
1.4: 6. " He that climbeth up some other
Way, the same is a thief and a robber."
Praise God I there shall in no - wise enter
into it any thing that defileth, neither
whatsoever worketh abomination or mak-eth
a lie: but they which are written in
the Lamb's book of life.-- Rev. 21: 27.
Praise God I all the pure in heart dwell
in this City of refuge, which is New Jeru-salem.
And the nations of them_ which
, are saved shall Walk in the light of it.
- Rev. 21: 24. And the City had no need
of the Sun neither of the Moon, to shine
in it, for the glory of God did lighten it,
and the Lamb is the light thereof- Rev.
21 : 23. Praise God ! this City is accessi-ble
at all times, and the gates of it shall
not be shut at all by day, for there shall
be no night there.- Rev. 21: 25; 22: 3.
Blessed are they that do His command-ments,
that they may have right. to the
Tree of life, and may enter in through the
gates into the City. For without are dogs,

and commandments of carnal men. But.
all such refugeswill perish beneath- the

cometh in flaming fire, taking vengence
On them that know not God, and obey

2 Thess. 1: 5. The Lord is the hope, the
trust, the refuge of His people. When
other refuges fail. He faileth not. When
other refuges are far away, He rds nigh at
hand, " a very present help in every time

I looked on. my right hand, and beheld,
but- there was no man that would know
me; refuge failed me, no man cared for my
soul. I cried unto the Lord: I said, Thou
art my refuge, my portion in the land of

are vain; refugles of lies will perish. They
only are safe whose refuge is in God, who
have made the Lord their hiding place,

Praise Godl this City of refuge is my
