EAR BRETEIREN:- 1 was led to
write a letter to the Stumbling Stone
in answer to an article in that paper, of
Dec. 1685, in which the Editor opposed
healing by faith. In his issue of March
appears an article bearing my name, but
not what I wrote. I cannot see how any
man can be honest, when he takes only a
part of a letter, and to some extent destroys
the meaning Of the whole. •
In trying to explain away my piece, he
said. that the disciples did not try to bat
the devils out of the child that was brought
to them. But how did they know that
they could not cast them out, if they had
not tried to do it. This is an effort to
twist the Scriptures, in order to sustain
his assertion that the disciples of Christ
never failed, and because every body is
not now healed for whom prayers are of-fered,
therefore the healing, he claims is
not of God.
The following is a true copy of the letter
he claims to be my letter.

" Prove all things, hold fast that which
is good: In the Stumbling Stone of Dec.
1885, I find an article published by Lyman
H. Johnson, under the title, " The Healing
Fanaticism."
Brother Johnson, I desire to say a few
things, as I understand the work of heal-ing
the sick is not a miracle, and I have
been astonished to find so much said
in different papers, calling such work do-ing
miracles. In 1 Con 12: we find many
gifts, one of which is the gift of healing.
another the working of miracles, ". It is so
plain I cannot- see how any one can blend
the two together and claim it to be God's
order. James 5: 14, 15, does not look like
an inferior grft, for it is certain the sick are
saved, and sins forgiven. You say if God
was in this healing there would be no fail-ure.
We will let God be true, and say
He was with His disciples. Luke 9: 40.
And I besought thy disciples to cast bins
out, and they could not. Also Matt 17: 16.
Now we will call Jesus as our witness. Is
God with Bina? Mark 6: 5- S. He could
there do DO mighty works, save that He
laid hands on a few sick folk and healed
them. Matt. 13: 58.- And He did not
many mighty works there because of their
unbelief'. I . am in for every man to abide

A COMMANDMENT OF OUR GOD.

saith, I know Him, and isOepeth not His
commandments, is a liar, alid the truth is
not in him. But whoso kelpeth His word,
m him verily is the love dtGod perfected;
hereby know we that we are in Him.- 1
John 2: 3- 5. Christ said to His disciples;
" know ye what I have done to you ? Ye
call me Master and Lord: and ye say well:
for so I am. If I then your Master and
Lord have washed your feet: ye also ought
to wash one another's feet. For I have
given you an example, that ye should do
as I have done to you. Yerily, verily, I
say unto you, the servant Js not greater
than his Lord: neither he thAt is sent great-er
than he that sent him. If ye know
these things, happy are yetif ye do them.
- John 13: 13- 17.
Vill you not take Christfor your Lord
and Matter ? If you do yottpught also to
wash one another's feet, ler Christ has
given us an example that • tle should do as
He did. " Christ lefrus antexample, that
ye should follow Iiis steps- 1 Pet. 2: 21.
" ye also ought to wash one 4nother3s feet." -
This is a command for His disciples to
obey. Are you His disciple ? Let Christ
Himself answer.- " If ye 4lltinue in my
Word, then are ye my disOples indeed;
and ye shall know the trUtliii and the truth
shall make you free.- Joh. 8; 31, 32. If
we de not continue in His Word, we. are
not His disciples, and willItiot know the
truth, but will be led awayiby the creeds
that none of the New Testament is for us 	 the Calling wherein he is called, and I
of men; " Ever learning, anbiever able to
come to the knowledge of Le troth."- 2
Tim. 3: 7. And. why do yen not come to
the truth ? because you do not continue in
His Word. Jesus saith, ‘, I am the way,
the truth and the life." There is no prom-ise
of a blessing tons unless we obey Him.
" For this is the love of God, that we keep
his commandments: and iiis command-ments
are not grievous.- 1 John 5: 3.
" And he that keepeth His command-ments
dwelleth in Him, and. Re in him."
- 1. John 3: 24. If any man serve me, let
him follow me; and where I am there shall
also my servant be; if any man serve me,
hini will my Father honor."- John 12: 26.
To follow Christ is to be and do like
Christ, and He washeddlis disciples feet
and told them they should do as He did.
You cannot expect the Father to honor
you if you . throw away part of His words
and instead of that, serve the doctrine and
creeds of men. We are sure He will not
reward those who do not obey Him, but
He will come " in flaming fire taking ven-gence
on them that know not God, and
THAT OBEY NOT TEE GOSPEL OF OlIa LORD JE-SUS
01.11tIST.- 2 ' Mess. 1: 8. Thus Shall the
end be of them that obey not the Gospel
of God."- 1 Peter 4: 17.
How can We escape I vengence of
God? By obeying His Word, " Being made
pesfect, He became the author of eternal
salvation unto all them that obey Him."-
Eleb. 5: 9. This same Jesus says in His
Gospel recorded in the 13th chapter of
John, " Ye also ought to wash one anoth-er's
feet." Do not believe it, when men
for the sake of their creeds, say that such
and such a commandment of our Savior
is done away with, but " be ye doers of the
Word, and not hearers only, deceiveng
your own selves."- J ames 1: 11. " Not ev-ery
one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord,
shall enter into the kingdoth of heaven ;
but he that doeth the will of my Father
which is in heaven."- Matt. 7: 21
Let all hear and teach the words of
Christ. " If any man teach otherwise, and
' consent not to wholesome words, even the
words of our Lord- Jesus Christ, and to the
doctrine which is according to godliness;
he is proud, knowing nothing.- 1 Tim. 6:
3. You must live by the whole Word of
God, and not take part away to please
the sect you have been ensnared into, for
the * judgment of God is upon those that

thes, and of the Son, and of the Holy
Ghost : teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you, and
lo, I am with you always even unto the
end of the world."- Matt. 28: 19, 20.
We have heard sectites say the Apostles
Tailed to teach feet Washing. This is false,
for the Apostle John teaches us the very
words of Christ, and it is so very plain
that it needs no repetition. Does the Gos -
pel by John teach us anythin g ? Yes, It
teaches us some of the things which Christ -
did, and His words. He came to save all
that will do His will. " Whoso keepeth
His Word, in Him , verily is the love of
God perfected : hereby know we that we
are in Him. He that saith he abideth in
Him, ought himself to walk, even as he
walked.- 1 ohn 2: 5. 6. " For I have giv-en
you an example, that ye should do as
I have done to you."-- John 13: 15.
The words and commandments of Christ
have not passed away, for heaven and
earth shall pass away : but my words shall
Dot pass away.- Mark 13: 31.
The Apostle Paul also enjoined this
command of Christ.- 1 Tine .5: 10. My
prayer to God is, that many may he saved
and take Christ for their Lord and Master,
and. bt willing and ready to obey Him, for
" ble$ sed are they that do His command=
messts, that they may have right to the
Tree of Life, , and may enter in through
the gates into the city."- Rev. 22: 14.
I am kept continually free from sin.
Praise the Lord I and His will be dune
forever. Amen!

will write a few lines on the subject
feet washing, to show . the . vanity . of
some people who pretend to the world that
they are Christians, and yet do not follow
elitist, but - Whew after certain doctrines
of their forefathers which they intermingle
with certain parts of the Word of God.
fl1 j tot take the whole Word. . of
God for rair guide, but take only such
parts as suit theecreed, and to excuse
themselves before the world they say, the
rest is done away with, or that it is net
for us now, but that it was only for the
apostles, or is to take place in heaven.
The Word of God says; " man shall not
live by bread alone, but by every word
that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."
There are denominations . which throw
away nearly every commandment which
the Lord Jesus gives in His last will and
Testament. Have we any right to call
ourselves the children of God unless we
obey Him ? Then why throw away the
commandment, of love, baptism, holy kiss,
feet washing, the Lord's supper, giving of
alms, and many other commandments of
our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ? We
are sure that those that are iii the Church
of Christ do not reject Els Word, fair they
love Him, and for that reason they obey
Him. " If ye love me keep my command-ments,"--"
he that hath my command-ments,
and keepeth them, he it is that.
loveth me."-" If ' a man love me, he will
keep my words."- john 14: 15, 21, 23.
But is the washing of the saints feet, a
commandment for us to obey now ? Yes,
glory to God ! It was given to the disci-ples
by Christ Himself, and it is taught to
- us by the Apostle John in the 13th chap-ter
- of his Gospel. Some one says this was
only for the Apostles, to follow. Well then
we have just as good ' a right to falsely say
that all that Christ saict was only for His
disciples to follow at that time, and not
for us. And what Paul said was not for us,
but for the Romans, Galatiana, EPhesians,
to Timothy, Titus etc. And the Epistle
of James was to the twelve tribes which
are scattered abroad, and Peter's first El
pistle is to the strangers scattered through-out
Pontus, Galatia. Cappadocia, Asia and
Bithynia, and not ferns. If you can brove
that feet washing, as commanded in John,

* NOTE. -
Bro. Wheeler concludes, because the
Scriptures speak of the gift of miracles,
and the gift of healing, therefore the heal-ing
of a body by the power of God is not
a miracle. But everything wrought by
the Divine power, and beyond the law. 5
of nature is a miracle. So to take faith
healing out of the class of miracles would
be reducing them to the effect of natural
laws, or agencies, and denying the direct
hand of God.
But how reconcile the apparent distinc-tion
between miracles and healing. We
simply understand that inasmuch as su-pernatural
power was more frequently
needed, and exerted in the line of healing
than. anything else, there- fore the Spirit
gave to some the special gift of healing,
ard to others the gift of miracles, in a gen-eral
e
manner.

TO ALL TnE SMITS AND TRUMPET READ-ERS
GREETING. I have long felt that I
ought to write for the glory of God, about*.
His Word in these days when it is so much
neglected. Paul, in writina. to the saints
and faithful brethren at Corosse says, " Let
the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in
all wisdom."- Col. 3: 16. There are four
things to particularly notice in this pass-age.
1st. The Word of Christ, 2nd. The
dwelling in you, 3d. Richly, 4th. And in
all wisdom. 1st. The Word of Christ,
Which means the blessed Gospel of the
Son of Goal of which Paul says " 1 am pot
ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is
the power of God unto salvation, to every
one that believeth."- Rom. 1: 16 Christ
says, " The words I speak unto you, they
are Spirit and they are life."- John 6: 63.
Now Paul ' says let the • 11, Tord of Christ
dwell in you." Christ says " he that ha tii
my commandments and keepeth them, Fe
it is that loveth me."- John 14: 21.
Now how will we keep His command-ments
unless we know them, and how
we know them unless we read- and study
His Word. We all have, or can have the
Word, or will of God in our homes : then
how can we plead for an excuse
'
that v- e
knew not what the will of God Now
the enemy of souls, the devil is deceiving
and ensnaring the souls of men, by pro-viding

Word. Do you not know that by neglect-ing
the blessed Word, you are destroying
your souls, and are guilty of despising
God's Word. God, by the prophet Isaiah
says
'
chapter 55: 2, " Wherefore do ye
spend money for that which is not bread,
and your labor for that which satisfieth
not: harken dilligently unto me,- and eat
ye that which is good, and let your soul
delight itself in fatness." David says,
" How sweet are thy words to my taste,
yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth."-
FsJa; a1: etia 1101 3sya s, 15: 16, " Thy words were
found, and I did eat them, and thy Woi d
was unto me the joy and rejoicing
of mine heart." If this is our experience,
then the Word dwells in us, richly."
Now then to have it dwell in us " In all
wisdom." The Apostle James Chap. 1: 5,
says, " If any of von lack wisdom, let him
ask of God who giveth to all men liberally,
and upbraideta not, audit shall be given
him." Then the key," let him ask in faith,
nothing Wavering" is given to every believ-enand
he has access to the rich store house.
If we are in Christ, " in Him are hid all
the treasures of wisdom' and knowledge,"
then " all things are ours, and we are
Christ's, and. Christ is God's." Hallelujah!
Then we are " no more strangers and for
eioners, but fellowcitmcns with the saints,
ail of the household of God : and ate

and Prophets, Jesus Christ Hianself being
the chief corner- stone. In whon_ . all the

Glory to God! for His blessed Word.
Glory to Jesus for the illumination of the
Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth, that leads
Us into all truth. I praise God that He is
leading and keeping me, that I love His
Word, and that He " is able to do exceed-ing

We have concluded to reduce the price
of our tracts. Sabbath tracts to less than
half price, 10 cts a piece, Tracts on the
Church to half price, 5 cts.
Now we hope the readers of the TRumP-ET
will all take an interest. in distributing
these tracts. They are cheap, and contain
important truth. Friends of perishing
souls can do a good work by perchasing
and distributing the same. It does seem
that these works should go out rappidly,
and the means be used. to help on the
great work.
LAS VEGAS NEW MEXICO.
EAR BRETHREN:— I received a let-ter
from Sparta, Wis. wishing to
know your address, and asking your prayers
for a man there who has a cancer on his
tongue.
I wish to tell what the Lord is doing for
us, since we have asked the prayers of the
saints. Our little girl never complains
any more of suffering in her stomach.
The cancer in her face does not scale
off any more, but is not yet removed. The
one in my face does not trouble me any
more, but yet shows plainly. My worst
trouble is my lungs, I have slight hemor-rhage,
when I overdo myself in hot weath-er.
My little boy is very delicate, and
has weak lungs, and weak eyes. Pray for
us, that God may deliver us from all our
afflictions, which are many. I was so hap-py
when I thought of being cured by the
Lord Jesus. Your Sister in the Lord.

LOANED BOOKS. 	 AN APPEAL.
We wish to make an appeal to the be-loved
saints of God in behalf of dear Bro.
WI/ 1. N. Smith who has had the missfortune
to loose his horse, which was his only
means of travel. Dear Bro. and sister
Smith have been seeking out the lost ones
in the dark places, and in the inland towns
where there is no rail roads, and many
souls have been reached and brought to
God ; who otherwise would doubtless have
remained in sin. Bro. Smith feels that.
the Lord wants him to continue to travel
in this way, and believes the Lord will
put it in the hearts of the saints to send a
little of their means to help him to get
I another horse. May God help you Breth-
' ren to all do your duty and come at once
to the help of this Bro. who is thus left
helpless, and not able to reach perishing
souls. Any one desiring to help the Bro.
and thus glorify God, please do so sly send-ing
your donations to the GOSPEL TRUMPET
OFFICE. And the same will be forwarded.

\\ Te have probably not done our dutj
in blowing TRUMPET blasts Of warning,
against this satanic soul morphine. That
is always a doctrine of devils, which de-tracts-
front the power of the Gospel of
Christ, to save noweand raises a false hope
for the future, an age to come salvation,
for such as reject the Gospel of Christ to-day.
Just to the extent men are encour-aged
in the belief that, by some hook
or crook, the future will scoop
them up to heaven and happiness, will'
they disregard salvation offered at present,
and give loose rei gns to the lusts of the
flesh, and the carnal course of this world.
This age- to- come falsehood is the chief
doctrine of the blind Watch Tower. It is
simply the old rediculous doctrine, of uni-versalism,
and hell- rdemption- ism, dress-ed
up in a new masque. ' t'he devil's gos-pel-
is so rotten and abominable, that he
must frequently clothe it in a new garb,
to secure some respect, and deceive souls.
In the June issue; the editor turns water
on his mill from the pen of Bishop Foster,
of the M. E. sect. The bishop has been
taking a look over the world, viewing the
( lark picture of 1,100,000,000 wretched
heathen, and only 350,000,000. profess-ors
of the Christian faith, and but a very
small portion of them are in any more
hopeful condition than blind heathen.
The old bishop concludes the chances
for the race are very dark, and as good as
1
admits that the Gospel of Christ, is not : ni-equate
to the wants of a lost world, which
the Watch Tower man grasps as an occa-sion
to show the need of his imaginary,
probationary age- to- come. Thus these
blind babylon priests show their ignor-ance
of the real Gospel of God, by the Ho-ly
Spirit sent down from heaven. And
also their ignorance of the Word of Goa,
which teaches that the few enter the way
of life, and the many walk the broad NV: 1V
of destruction.
Foster, better acquainted with the im-potence
of Methodism, than the potency
or the real Gospel of Christ, says, “ I do
not affirm that giving them ( the heathen)
the Gospel will improve their prospects. destroyer. Now all those things lap

1 Is not this strange teaching for a pro- f 10: 10, II.
fessedly learned Bible student? Does it I If the tes - on
not, give ignorance more credit titan the
true light of Divine truth ? klere again,
the bishop has forgotten that the Gospel
is not that weak, insipid stuff which those
truelding, hireling Methodist priests gi7e
the people. No wonder blind sectarians
, conclude the heathen had better be left in
blissful ignorance than impose on them
the miserable, powerless, sectarian college
bread they have at home. The mission-ary
efforts of sect religion, bears no com-parison
at all to that of theApostles. Now
they wear out several generations of
preachers before they scarcely get a foot-hold
in a heathen land. Because they de-pend.
upon education and money to carry
on the work. But the Apostles and their
successors, until the primitive power of
the Church was supplanted by ecclesias-tical
machinery, or, in other words, until
the apostasy began, went to the heathen
in the power of the Spirit of God, and
spake unto them with the authority of ho-ly
men ; Christ also working with them,
confirming the, Word with signs and won_
ders, and the healing of the sick. And
the result was, thousands turned to the
Lord in a few days. And the power they
used has never been withdrawn from the
Church, by the Lord, Her Bead. But Dinglott is, - having been manifes t u-tast

writer calls the different views on baptism
e= mere matters of opinion, and fruits of
termer education. This proses that they
are still in babylon, and are without the
seal possession of the Holy Spirit, for He
guides us into all truth. Not into opin-ions
respecting the truth, but into- the truth
itself. " If any than be a doer of the Word
he shall know of the doctrine." " If ye
continue in my Word, then shall ye be
my disciples in deed, and ye shall know
the truth and the truth shall make you
free." What is needed in Mo. and every
where else, is a host of men, who know
the truth, the whole truth, " as it is in
Christ Jesus," and who are able to preach
the Gospel with the authority of the Holy
Spirit sent down from Heaven: and lead
the people into the " Unity of the faith,
and the knowledge of the Son of God, un-to

stature, of the fulness of Christ." And

So long as the holiness preachers and

If it is right to remain in ignor-ance

The same Spirit that guides into some
truth, will " guide us into all truth." But
different opinions, and prior education, is
made a pretext to agree to disagree. But

of our fathers," as- well as from car=

Your sister, all the Lord's,
co.- eirtssiON- AID SHAKING.
OME months ago we spoke of the
Good Way in Mooputting it in a very
favorable light before our readers. We
remarked, however, that it had a good
deal to do yet to get out of babylon. Which
means out of confusion into perfect uni-formityefor
" thy watchman shall lift up
the voice; with the voice together shall
they sing: for they shall see eye to eye,
when the Lord shall bring again Zion.
Lie. 	 : 8.
In verse I;, the Dreier is, " Loose thyself
from the bands of thy Deck, 0 captive
daughter of Zion." So we see the bringing
again of Zion, is from captivity, namely
spiritual, or " mystery babylon." There-fore
we are authorized by the Word of
God to locate as yet in habylon, the priests
that disagree, contend and debate, wrangle
and. jangle. For when God brings Zion
. out of babylon they " see eye to eye."
One of the evangelists of that association
writes in their organ of June 12, as fol-lows.
" lt matters not to him .( satae) how
or - upon what question, scriptural or un-
- scriptural, material or immaterial, essen-tial
or non- essential, over which we may
divide, just so we divide, and waste our
time and strength biting and devouring
each other, instead of vigorously and
unitedly assaulting the man of sin and his
iniquitous _ practices. Some, doubtless,
become unduly alarmed by getting their
= eyes off of Jesus on these waves. Unlike
Peter, instead of crying, " Lord save or I
perish," they go to prophesying evil. " The
glory has departed from the holiness work
in Mo," " the. anti- churchism, ne- churchism
& c." ( should be anti- sectism and no- sect-
. ism) is stagnating the holiness work in
Mo." " You ought to see it by this time,"
writes one dear brother who has Red to
babylon for refuge. Another who believes
in the anti- sect or no- sect, says, " These
anti- ordinance folks will ruin the work."
Well, another who is both anti- sect and
anti- ordinance as well as an anti- co- edu-
- catiooist, says " this color question will ruin
both the college and Good Way." Is not
this truly the- time of shaking and sifting
the holy people"
What is this but babylon. One pleads
for sects, others against. Some teach the
Quaker doctrine of devils, and others con-tend
for a part of the ordinances of Christi
and possibly some for all. Some have
favored the exclusion of the colored race
from Pauline Holiness College, and others
contended for the Bible equality. - Which bibed in sect education.' This is silly
child's play. There is no consistency in
calling men out of the sects, and letting
them still retain the errors of sect educa-tion..
The - Good Way is really a babylon
sheet. Though it teaches against sects,
it is inconsistent in itself. Being the organ
of the South Western Holiness Associa-tion.
All humanly founded religious or-ganisms
are sects, whether called churches
or associations. The M. E. sect was osten-sibly
formed for the same purpose these
associations were, but it is none the less
an abominable sect. Sect means a cut off
part, and any body not containing all be-lievers,
is schismatic, and sectional, a sect
whether called church or association.
And all such compacts are an abomination
to God. For they cast a reflection upon
Ohrist, and His body, as though His Church
were not practical for the spread of the
Gospel, and the promotmil of its ends.
l'hus- giving the glory to men, instead of
to Christ. Therefore before the Good Way
can consistantly shoot at babylon, it should
purge out the bable confussion of its asso-.
ciation and writers. And before it can
oppose other sects, it should demolish the
association sect, of which it is the organ..

Dear Brethren:— I want to tell you once
more, to the honor and glory of God, that
Jesus saves my soul from all sin, and sanc-tifies
me wholly. Yes, I am saved from
all sin and am walking in the light. 0
glory to the Lamb of God that taketh away
the sin of the world; for saving a sinner
like me. I want to tell to the unsaved,
though your sins he as scarlet, He ca
make you white as snow. Poor sinners
sometimes think they have been_ so bad
that they cannot be forgiven, and there-fore
put off there return to mood. Many
will put it off until it will forever be to

be too late ! too late !! forever too late !!!
Oh i I am so glad that I am saved to the
uttermost through the blood of the ever-lasting

question we are thankful to see has final-ly
been settled, by a majority vote of the
managers in favor of equal rights to the
colored. • Well we hope the " shaking and
sifting" will go on in Mo. until the come
plete " removing of those things that are
shaken as of things that are made, that
those things which cannot be shaken may
remain." But what makes the real return
of Mo. holiness from babylon to be de-spaired.
of, is the dispossition to stop the
hand of God frqm father shaking and sift-ing.
The evangelist from whom we quote
above, futher says,
" Beloved, in the name of Jesus Christ,
let us remember that in all cardinal truths
and essential points of christian doctrine
we agree. Let us not therefore allow a
matter of opinion, or of former education
perhaps, to do the very thing the enemy
desires us to do. If our Quaker brethren
believe the ordinances absolete, or a ma-jority
of Pauline holiness College Educa-tional
Association believe in the co- edu-cation
of the races, let us still keep our
hearts full of love to each other and to all
men. Our motto being " holiness, without
which no man shall see the Lord." Fol-low
the lead of our captain. Press the
battle against sin. Present a solid front
on. the sin line, and victory is ours. Unity
in essentials, liberty in non. essentials, and
charity in all."
This latter sentence is the very quintes-sence
of sect babylon. It is the pass word
of the " three unclean spirits of devils that
go forth unto the Idngs of the earth, and
of the whole world, to gather them to the
battle of that great day of God Almighty. h
All sectism excuse their abominable or-ganized
divisions by the cry of, " unity in
essentials, liberty in non- essentials, and
charity in all." So any part of divine
truth they wish to disregard, they have
but to classify with non- essentials, and
they are at liberty to disobey it. But who
ever found non- essentials in the Gospel
of Christ ? Tn. what chapter and verse do
we read of such things ? In the name pf
Jesus Christ, we say there are no non- es-sentials
in thokingdom of Christ. Again,

DEAR BRETHREN: Alld all of God's lit-tle'
ones, greeting. As the reading of the
TRUMPET is such a blessing to us, we would
contribute a little to its clean columns.
This beautiful Sabbath morning finds me
on the solid Rock Christ Jesus. Standing
aloof from all sect confusion, and am kept
by the power of God, through faith unto
salvation. Since last fall God has done
wonderful things for me and my family, for
which I praise His holy name. The more
I read in the TRUMPET, about the meetings
and salvation of precious souls, I can hard-ly
wait for the time to come when I can
attend a meeting of God's true children. I
look forward to the grove meeting near
Rochester Ind. with joyful anticipation,
hoping the Lord will make it passible lbr
me to attend, and meet many of Christ's
little ones who have cheered me, in and
through the TRUMPET: to this end I ask the
prayers ` of the saints. I have been desir-ous
a long time to attend a meeting of
God's free saints, but something always
hindered.
To Bro. Warner I would say, God bless
you and keep you faithful to your blessed
work. We have never forgotten you since
you were at our house six years ago, and I
long to meet you and greet you. heart-ily
sympathize with you in all your trials
and tribulations. Come to the Ind. meet-ing
if the Lord wills. And to all m y ac-quaintances
in. the flesh I would say, stand
firm on the Solid Rock; let us not compro-mise
and mix in with the sects, but stand
aloof from them; for the Word says to mark
them that cause divisoins, and avoid them.
The God of peace keep us in the bond of
love through Jesus Christ our Lord, is MT
prayer. Amen !
Your Brother saved and kept by power
Divine.

I do praise His holy name for what I

Lord and Master that He ever stooped so
low as to pick me up from the miry clay,
and. place my feet on the Rock Christ Je-sus;

Dear Brethren: — God bless and prosper
you and the GospEL TRUMPET. Amen!
Two weeks ago last night we had an
ordinance meeting at Bro. Griffin's, in Lee
township Allegan Co. There were forty-seven
who participated. We had a might y
outpouring- of the Holy Ghost. There
were eleven consecrations. Praise God,
for the salvation work that is going on i
this part of the country.
Last Saturday night we talked to a
crowded house in Cheshire, Allegan Co.
The Lord wonderfully blest the little ones,
and saved one soul. Hallelujah Yester-day
we IA the glorious privilege of meet-ing
the little ones, and Bro. Speck, and
sister Fisher at Bro. Johnson's in Lee.
Bro. Speck spake to the people in the
Spirit and power, which wonderfully
strengthened the little ones, and sent Con-viction
to sinners, for pardon, and . to be-lievers
for holiness. We had a wonderful
refreshing time, and the best of all was,
nine souls consecrated. In the evening
we met again at Bro. Joseph Smith's ; one
soul consecrated.
From your Bro. Wholly sanctified.

Dear Breth• ein— Praise, the Lord for-ever!
I opened a new mission for the
French and English last week. The stare
ing people are coming, to h e ar
the glad tidin gs. Our Hall which seats
SO people has been filled every evening
since we began.
Last Sunday we had three tough boys
saved from their sins, tobacco, cigars, and
the plague of sects— entirely consecrated
to God. My heart is full of joy to see
these new wonders of God in the hearts
of sinners. Sister Webb helps me consid-erably;
we preach on the streets before
meetings in the Hall. I wish you could
come and help us a. little while. The dev-il
is raging outside. Last night a boy threw
a bucket of water in my face, wife's face-and
others as we were singing the praises
of God on the side- walk. One Irish drunk,
en woman slapped my wife in the face.
A bombshell was thrown on the building.
Praise the Lord, we hold the fort.
