sinner, escape from the wrath to come.
Unless you harken to the voice of God,
you are ruined for time and eternity; you
are doomed to everlasting fire, prepared
for the devil and his angels. It makes
no . difference how good you may think
you are, except you repent you shall
likewise perish. Beloved, you may even
be a loud professor of religion and be
considered a number- one man among
your friends and neighbors. You may
pay your honest debts and pay the preach-er
so much every year. And yet you
may be a wretched sinner. Oh, it means
everything to be right with God. Un-less
you love God with all your heart,
soul, mind, and_ stren gth, and your neigh
bor as yourself ( Luke 10: 25- 28) you have
no promise of life anywhere ' in. God's
word. If you want life, you must for-sake
your way, no matter how pleasant
it may seem to you. God knows what
is best for you. God knows that your sin-fulness
is dragging you down to hell.
You may choose life or death. God does
not force you to take his way. He simply
lays out his way before you, and if you
do not take it and are lost, it is not
God's fault.
REPENT.
Rept nt means to be sorry, to be really
pained for sin as a violation of God's
holy law. This is a godly sorrow, which
by the apostle is defined in. 2 Cor. 7: 10
as sorrow which " worketh repentance to
salvation not to be repented of." The
word " repent" is also used in a sense of
a change of mind, a turning back. To
be sorry for sin without turning away
from it is not true repentance. To re-pent
with godly sorrow brings the soul
to the cross, where confession is made
and mercy implored. This is the first
commandment that God has given to the
world through Jesus. John the Baptist
had been warning the people of Judea
of the near approach of Jesus, and com-manded
them to repent. Repent. ye and
believe the gospel. The disciples when
sent out to preach, both before and after
Pentecost, sounded forth the command-ment:
" Repent." The Holy Spirit
through the apostle Paul, makes it very
plain that God " now commandeth all
men everywhere to repent." - Acts
17: 30.
WHEN SHALL WE REPENT?
Behold, now is the accepted- time;
behold, now is the day of salvation."
You have no promise for to- morrow.
" To- day if ye will hear his voice, harden
not your hearts." How shall you es-cape
if you neglect this salvation? Sad
to say, you are upon the verge of hell.
Oh, repent and believe the gospel.
RESTITUTION.
" If a soul sin, and commit a trespass
against the Lord, and lie unto his neigh -
1 or in that which was delivered him to
keep, or in fellowship, or in a thing tak-en
away by violence, or bath deceived
his neighbor; or: ha- vefound that which
is lost, and lieth concerning it, and
sweareth falsely; in any of all these
that a man doeth, sinning therein: then
it shall be, because he hath sinned, and
is guilty, that he shall restore that which
he took violently away, or the thing
which he hath deceitfully gotten, or Oat
which was delivered him to keep, or the
Unfit For Service.
One night, ' twas a Saturday evening,
I sat alone in my room, -
Watching the fading daylight
And the steadily gathering gloom.
And I longed and watched for an op'ning,
A word for my Master to say,
Ere the twilight gave place to the darkness
And the week had cleared away.
I knew that there had been moments
Afforded me through the week
When I might have witnessed for Jesus,
But I hadn't the heart to speak.
And now, when I would have spoken,
The privilege was denied.
So I went in my sorrow to Jesus,
And " Why is this?" I cried,
AhI the Master knew all about it
So he said- and I knew It was right-
The tool is too blunt for service,
I can not use it to- night.
The shaft to be used must be polished,
Must be hid in the Master's hand.
The arrow, while hid in the quiver,
Must be sharpened to perform his command.
Then polish and sharpen me, Master,
Tho' painful the process may be, .
And make me an instrument fitted
To be used any moment by thee.
- Florence A. Newman.

here you must both seek and call. But
you ask: how ( elle I seek and call? God
answers in the next v r e: " Let the
wicked forsake his wa y, and the unright-eous
man his thou , ghts; and let him re-turn
unto the Lord, and he will have
mercy upon him; and to our CrOd, for
be will abundantly pardon. • ' First, You
Must forsake your way and he willing to
take God's Nvay. This is where so Many
poor sinners make sad mistakes and stop
seeking. They are not willing for God's
will to be done instead of their own.
t you must give up your
Your way is corrupt.
You are a poor and wretched sinner be-lore
God. Your heart is full of sin.
Your whole burl y is depraved by sin and
sinful appetites. Your life is not pleas-ing
to Gad. You enjoy pleasures only
for a moment, and then they vanish
away. Your life is full of destruction
and misery, both to yourself and to those
around you. You have broken the
hearts of your dear ones and brought
them to the grave in sorrow. By sen-sual
debauchery V(. 0 have disgraced your-self
and family.
Sinner friend, you dare not deny these
facts. You may say that you are not
guilty of all these sins, and that you are
a good moral man or woman. N o mat-ter;
if you are guilty of none of these
that have been mentioned, you are
guilty of the blood of Jesus, and you are
condemned before God as long as you
2:.: a- re disobedient and do not repent. You
never be justified before God as long
as you rebel against him. " To him that
noweth to do good, and doeth it not, to
it is sin." " From the sole of the
mot even unto the head there is no
Soundness in it; but wounds and bruises,
and putrefying sores: they have not been
closed, neither bound up, neither mollified
with ointment."- Isa. 1: 6.
In this verse your whole moral being
is decribed. The only chance for your
life is to turn and forsake your way. 0

about which he hath sworn falsely; he
shall even restore it in the principal, and
shall add the fifth part more thereto, and
give it unto him to whom it appertaineth
in the day of his trespass- Offering."-
Lev. 6: 2- 5. " Again, when I say unto
the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; if he
turn from his sin, and do that which is
lawful and right; if the wicked restore
the pledge, give again that he had rob-bed,
walk in the statutes of life, without
committing iniquity; Ile shall surely live,
he shall not die."• Ezek. 33: 14, 15,. In
Luke 1.9: 8 we have an example of true
restitution. This man was willing to do
anything to meet the demand of justice
and be right With God and man. Resti-tution
must be made before a soul can be
right with God ( that is as far as pos-sible).
MUST WE FORGIVE?
" For if ye forgive men their trespasses,
your heavenly Father will also . forgive
you: but if ye forgive not men their
trespasses, neither will your Father for-give
your trespasses." You must forgive
them if you want God to forgive you-even
those who were your bitterest ene-mies.
You must forgive them and " love
your enemy." It is utterly impossible
for a truly saved man or woman to hold
a grudge against any one, although some
neighbor has cruelly treated you- possi-bly
stole something or told some false-hood-
you must forgive that person or
you can. never enjoy what God has in
store for his dear ones. You can never
enjoy this full and free salvation unless
you meet the requirements of God's eter-nal
word. May God bless these truths
and may some dear souls see their need
of seeking God while he may be found.

for " Jesus Christ the same yester-day,

preaching the gospel, raising the dead,
casting out devils, healing all : manner of
sicknesses and diseases. " And great
multitudes came unto him, having with
them those that were lame, blind, dumb,
maimed, and - many others, and .1, cast

Jesus said unto the centurion, Go. thy

Some people seem to think tlfat Jesus has
changed and they need not believe or'
practice all the Bible;- that the day of
miracles is past and that holiness and
healing were only for early followers,
and that we can not be holy until just
before we die. But Jesus said. that we
" might serve him without fear, in holi-ness
and righteousness before him, all the
days of our life."- Luke 1: 74, 75.

A fetter.-
standing of Child and his teachings is
therefore essential in order to have a
knowledge df the truth; for erroneous
ideas of - Christ will cause wrong concep-tions
or the truth. Ofttimes early influ-ences
and teachings are the cause of
wrong ideas of the character and teach-ings
of Christ, and hence a source of ig-norance
concerning what is truth. This
being so, it follows that we must be sure
that what we already know, or rather
think we know, be correct, in order to
make right progress in our search after
truth. - If we accept - the premise that
Christ is the foundation stone of all
truth, it would be folly for us to expect
to grow in the knowledge of the truth
unless we accepted and followed his pre-cepts
and example; for to do otherwise
would he certain to lead us into error.
Many seem to think that it makes no
difference what a man believes so long
as he is honest in his belief, but such an
opinion can come only from those who
are thoughtless; for what we believe
influences our lives and future welfare
for good or evil according as our belief
is truth or error. The heathen who
though he is honest believes in his gods
of stone and worships and sacrifices to
them is not benefited by his belief; but
rather it is his belief that adds to his
misery and unhappiness through fear of
the wrath of his gods upon him. One
who is honest in his belief but still fanat-ical
is not benefited by it; neither is
he of any benefit to others, but rather
a detriment, ofteh drawing others into
the same error with himself. The man
who drinks a deadly poison honestly
thinking it water is not benefited be-cause
he is honest, but must suffer
the consequences the same as one who
drinks it knowingly. Hence it is all-important
that we know the truth.
As we can not expect to know those
things pertaining to higher mathematics
until we have first learned the rudi-ments,
neither can we expect to know
the deeper things of the Spirit until we
have first learned the first principles of
the spiritual life. When we have found
Christ, " The Truth," as our personal
Savior we are then in a position to ad-vance
in truth and have that experience
which the Psalmist spoke of, the " truth
in the inward parts." It is vain to
imagine that we shall ever make progress
along this line unless we first become
possessors of him ti, ho is " the truth."
When we come into possession of him,
many times early teaching, tradition,
etc., must' be cast aside; for if allowed
to remain, advancement is very slow.
In this day especially there is much to%
unlearn, if we may be allowed to use
sea an expression. It is a common
fallacy that if mankind be guided by
their conscience they will be unlikely to
stray far from the truth. This fallacy
comes through a lack of understanding
as to what the conscience is. That
which we call conscience has no power
of thought and can not of itself reason
with regard to what is right or wrong.
Conscience is merely feeling, and is
directed by the reason; hence it follows
that if the reason be directed aright in
the line of truth, the conscience will be
also. If that we have learned be truth,
our conscience will follow the truth; and
if error, it will likewise follow that. To
prove this let us illustrate. The poor
heathen who worships his gods of wood
and stone, should he fail to attend to
duties as he has been taught them, would
be lashed by his conscience. 3314- / train-ing
and teaching have been such that he
- considers it right to do that which others
could not do, even though heathens.
The Roman Catholic does many things
his conscience would trouble him for
leaving undone, which the Protestant
could not do. Why is this? The con-science
in each case , is all right, but has
not been directed, ; aright in all. COIL-science
then is na always a sure guide
to truth; for we Innst- see that multi-tudes

E all probably know something of
the pioneer missionary . Adoeiram
Judson, who preached the gospel in re-gions
beyond. There are a number of
incidents in his life which have made a
deep impression on my mind, and my
heart thrills with delight as I realize
more and more that our God is the same
at all times and leads in the same holy
way, by the same precious Teacher, that
is given to - all men, in all ages, alike, for
the asking— the same yesterday, to - day,
and forever. Praise his dear name for-ever!
When Judson crossed the ocean the
Holy Spirit asked him in what way he
was going to baptize the heathen con-verts
the Lord had promised him. He
had been taught that sprinkling was
right. He did not get any rest till he
studied the question pro and con for
months with a determination to follow
the light as it came, let it cost what it
would. There was but one conclusion
he'could come to, and that was that the
Word taught only one way, and that was
baptism by immersion. When this truth
Came to him and his dear wife who was
with him and who had been his zealous
companion in his researches, it was a
bitter trial to both, as they had hoped
the contrary. It meant giving up their
reputation in the foreign home, renounc-ing
their salary, and the society that sent
them out, and going in paths they knew
not of, in a strange land. Yet their
hearts were in the Lord's hands, and he
prevailed, and they promised to follow
faithfully all the way. Their hearts
ached and were and de sail many, many
times, as their friends in the dear home
land forsook, reproached, and misunder-stood
them. " But the Healer was there,
and his arms were around, and he led
with tenderest care."
It was wonderful how the Lord trans-formed
a life that at one time sought
only the plaudits of men. Now Judson
sought only to be little and unknown.
After years, when the Lord had done
such wonderful things through him, and
had vindicated his own, his friends voted
Infer on him the title of D. D. He
wrotili back thanking them for the in-tended
kindness, but said he could. not
accept the honor. Charity seeks nothing
of men. One letter especially that he
wrote back to America I believe will be
blessed of the Holy Spirit if reprinted.
" Ye should earnestly contend for the
faith whieh was once delivered unto the
saints.

upon me. Some of the Karen men had
been to Maulmain and seen what I wished
they had not; and one day when we
were discussing the subject of ornaments,
one of the Christian men said that he
bad seen at Maulmain one of the great
female teachers wearing a string of gold
beads around her neck. Was it not a
bard case? However, though cast down,
I was not destroyed. I maintained the
warfare as well as I could, and when I
left those parts the female converts
were, generally speaking, arrayed in
modest apparel.
On arriving at Maulmain partially re-covering
from a fever : I had contracted
in the Raren woods, the first thing I did
was to crawl out to the house of the pat-roness
of the gold necklace. To her I
related my adventures and described my
grief. With. what ease and truth could
that sister , say, notwithstanding this
necklace, " I dress more plainly than
most ministers' wives and professors of
religion. This necklace is the only orna-ment
I wear; it was. given to me when
quite a child by a dear mother I. never
expect to see again, and she begged ' me
never to part with it, but to wear it as a
memorial of her." To the honor of my
sister be it recorded, that as soon as she
understood the merits of the case and
the mischief done by the example, off
went the necklace, and she gave decided
proof that she loved Christ more than
father or mother, and yet nothing can
reall y be done, and why? because your
sisters and daughters are constantly com-ing
to take the place of those that are
removed b y death and to occupy HUM-heriess
stations still unoccupied. The
female convetts will run around them
and when they see the geld, the beads,
chains, and rings, etc., they will cast a
reproachful triumphant glanee at their
old teachers and hasten to reload their
arms, necks, and ankles.

Out of Darkness Into Light.
BY CHAS. JENNER. I HATE long desired to write and
thank God for the beautiful Holy
Ghost teachings of The Gospel Trumpet.
It has been the means in God's hands by
the blessed Holy Spirit of leading me
into all truth, bringing to light the hid-den
things of God, making the rough
way plain, and the crooked way straight,
keeping me out of devil's doctrines, ena-bling
me to live a holy life; and, last
but best of all, making me perfect in
love. I do praise God with my whole
heart that the teaching of the whole
glorious gospel is so plain that a way-faring
man though a fool need not err
therein. Praise the Lord!
I met a brother while yet I was a
member of Booth's Army, who revealed
to me the glorious church of God, the
church that Christ loved and gave him,
self for, that he might sanctify and
cleanse it with the washing of water by
the word, that he might present it to
himself a glorious church, not having
spot or wrinkle, or any such thing; but
that it should be holy and wit bout btpulL

What Would Jesus Do?
From the " Chicago Inter Ocean."
A S Mr. Sheldon has undertaken to
I I- tell the editor what Jesus would do,
or would not do, if he were an editor, it
may not be amiss for an editor to tell
him what Jesus would do, or would not
do, if he ‘ aere a minister.
If Jesus were a minister, he would
never accept money for teaching men the
way of life and salvation. Least of all
would he hire himself out by the year to a
society, and bind himself to preach
certain doctrines at certain times and
places, instead of keeping himself free to
follow the leadings of the divine Spirit in
all things. He would never hire himself
out to preach to a wealthy and fashion-able
society, and then in order to gratify
those who paid his salary, preach an
emasculated, gospel. He would tell them
plainly that it was easier for a shad to
climb a tree than for certain of his par-ishioners
to get to heaven. Of course
Jesus would never change one field for
another simply because he might be
offered a larger salary.
If Jesus were a minister, he not only
would not be engaged in any money-making
schemes, but he would not seek
to acquire competency nor to own his
own home. He would act on the principle
that if he became so absorbed in doing
good that he forgot himself he would be
miraculously provided for.
If Jesus were a minister, He would not

In the face of so many broad and re-would
be entirely taken up in works of
practical charity, and his teaching would
be merely the framework of his deeds of
love to suffering humanity. When Jesus
preached he would not preach on the
moral influence of railroads, nor on the
Bacon- Shakespeare controversy, nor on
the. necessity of the free coinage of silver.
He would never turn aside from the vital
truths of religion merely to attract a
crowd or to get his name in the newspa
pers the next morning.
If Jesus were a minister, he would dress
decently and comfortably, but he would
not waste a cent on fine chothing, and
he would never wear jewelry. If Jesus
were a minister, he would not, as soon as
the weather grew warm, complain of.
brain- fag and go across the ocean to
European pleasure resorts, living in fri-volity,
and occasionally go slumming.
When Jesus wanted to renew his strength
he would probably hjde himself in some
desert in Arizona and pass a month in
fasting and prayer.
If Jesus were a minister, he would
never allow anybody to call him
" Reverend" or " Doctor of Divinity."
He would never be a favorite with the
religions classes. He would never be a
pampered divinity. His deep spirituality
would throw him out of touch with the
average congregation of fashion, and his
faithful preaching would empty pews
and close church doors in every neighbor-hood
where fashion does gather. -
Precious Promises.

E strong and of a good courage,
fear not, nor be afraid of them;
for the Lord thy God, he it is that doth
go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor
forsake thee."— Dent. 31: 6.
" Let your conversation be without
covetousness, and be content with such
things as ye have; for he hath said, I
will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is
my helper, and I will not fear what man.
shall do unto me."— Ileb. 13: 5, 6.
" The Lord is my light and my salva-tion;
whom shall I fear? the Lord is the
strength of my life; of whom shall I be
afraid? . . Though an host should en-camp
against me, my heart shall not
fear: though war should rise against me,
in this will I be confident. . . . For in
the time of trouble he shall hide me in
his pavilion: in the secret of his taberna-cle
shall he hide me; he shall set me up
upon a rock."— Ps. 27: 1, 3, 5.
" Thou shalt hide them in the secret
of thy presence from the pride of man:
thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavil-ion
from the strife. of . tongues."— Ps.
31: 20.
" oh, fear the Lord, ye his saints; for
there is no want to them that fear him.
The young lions do lack, and suffer hun-ger:
but they that seek the Lord shall not
want any good thing. . . The right-eous
cry, and the Lord heareth, and. de-livereth
them out of all their troubles."
— Ps. 34: 9, 10, 17.
There are many more precious prom-ises
in the word of God, but surely these
are sufficient to prove to us that our God -
is able and will deliver the , godly out of
all their troubles, although sometimes it
seems we have to pass through the fur-nace.
But even that will prove a bless-ing
to us if we stand firm as did the $ e

no more want to labor for filthy lucre's
sake, but for the salvation of souls and
for the glory of God. But now being
made free from sin, and become servants
of God, ye have your fruit unto holi-ness,
and the end everlasting life. It is
. so good to be free from sin and free from
sectism, which is sin. How truly God
says it is the abomination of the earth.
Alas! Babylon the great is fallen, is
fallen, and is become the habitation of
devils, and the hold of every foul spirit,
and a cage of every unclean and hateful
bird. I am glad I obeyed his voice and
came out of her.
The servant can not condemn her more
than his Master does. All her members
that I have ever met say they are sin-ners;
so they must do their duty to their
father the devil, and be a member of
the devil's body. Halleluiah! salvation
and glory, and honor, and power, unto
the Lord our God; for true and . right-eons
are his judgments: for he hath
judged the great whore, which did. cor-rupt
the earth with her fornication, and
hath avenged the blood of his servants
at her hand.
In my preaching from house to house
I meet people who have been carrying
a burden to sectism and to hireling min-isters
for a long time and have not been
able to be rid of it, by reason of their
blindness. If the blind lead the blind,
they shall both fall into the ditch. But
thanks be to God, when they hear the
truth in the glorious, pure, gospel of our
precious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
their fetters fall off and he whom the
Son makes free is free indeed— free ‘ 4
from the law of sin. and death. They
become new creatures in Christ Jesus,
all old things pass away and all things
become new. Glory to God! Souls are
saved and God's name is glorified. It
makes us love the brethren indeed and
in truth. People thank me and praise
God for truth! The joy of the Lord is
the strength of his people. The chil-dren
of the Lord have a right to be glad
and rejoice in God our Savior; for the
path of the just is as a shining light,
which shineth more and more unto the
perfect day. Glory to God! Souls are
on the wing. We are living moment by
moment in the glorious presence of our
King, fellow citizens with the saints, and
of the household of God, already in the
new Jerusalem. Glory to Godl

LET US LABOR EARNESTLY.
Now is the time to do a good work in

The sale cif tracts at these rates can not
always be kept up. bat we have an
abundance of- them on hand which we
desire to turn into means that are needed
at once that the capacity' for publishing
the gospel may lie enlarged yet more.
There is no telling what the magnitude
of this work will yet be. The pure doc
trine of the Bible is not popular, but it
does not need to be in order to reach
every corner of the globe. Praise the
Lord! God turns even the oppositions
of the'devil into victories for. the truth.
It is a fact that this work is rapidly
spreading, not with such a mushroom
growth as soon to fall into decay, like
the fame of some divine healer, so call-ed',
or of some quack physician whose
new discovery attracts the attention of
the world for a time.. God's work is not
to be compared to such. " The kingdom
of God cometh not with observation,"
neither does it continue with observation.
It is not with pomp, splendor, or show,
and does not engross the attention of the
world: but in a silent, unseen but sure
way its influences spread, and seek. out
every honest soul; its waters gradually
overflow the hiding- places of sin, carry-ing
either victory or condemnation on its
way.
The spread of this reformation should
not make us boast; for we have nothing
of ourselves to boast of, bitt it should
cause us to rejoice. In the rapid increase
of his kingdom God employs his church-consisting
of every saved man and

FROM A CONDEMNED PRISONER.
Santa Fea N. Mex.
Mr. Editor: Through the kindness of
Sister Eva Protzman of Lodi, Cal. a few
copies of your noble paper, The Gospel
Trumpet, have found their way into this
prison ( Santa Fe, N. Mex.). Each copy
has been met with a hearty welcome,
and well read. This prison has about
NO Men behind its walls. About one
hundred of these men can read the Eng-lish
language, and are in need of the
true gosh. If any of God's . children
who may read this feel that they would
like to send a few copies of the Trumpet,
or tracts, or any other spiritual litera-ture,
to this prison, the writer will take
pleasure in distributing the same. I am
happy to say that I feel the effects of
the many , earnest prayers that are rising
daily in my behalf. I am a condemned
man, and have been lying under a death
sentence for over thirteen months. My
case will be disposed of in August, and
I need the prayers of all God's dear peo-ple.
Brothers : and sisters, pray for me.
I have many friends and loved ones pray-ing
that it may be God's will to give me
my liberty next spring. Will every one
who may read this join us in this prayer,
and always close with " God's will be
done." Dear friends, I am only in one
of God's schools, and his great Spirit
gives me strength to rejoice, with all my
sad trouble. I was placed in this dun-geon
April 4, 1899, and have not seen a
star since. Oh, I know they would look
beautiful! . The sun never reaches my
little palace; but I am very happy to
say, " There is sunshine in my soul to-day."
Have not been sick an hour since
here. All the praise to my dear Savior.
I am expecting to get my case reversed
in August, am putting my trust in higher
power than man. " lf God be for us,
who can be against us?"— Rom. 8: 31.
I know that I have the prayers and
sympathy of) every one that loves Jesus
Christ and his cause, and when my case
is decided, I will let you all know- the
verdict through the Trumpet. My ene-mies
are many, and I will ask you all to
remember them daily, in your prayers.
I love their souls, and my earnest prayer
is that I may meet them all in heaven.
Any of The Gospel Trumpet readers
that would like td write a condemned
boy a few words of cheer and comfort,
know that your letters will be met with
a hearty welcome. Reader, meet me at
Jesus' feet. W. B. Hall, Box 426.

Purification of the Heart.
BY J. W. YOUNG BLOOD.
4• iRLESSED is the pure in heart: for
1- 0 they shall see God."— Matt. 5: 8.
That the heart of man must be made per-fectly
pure and holy before entering
heaven, all Christians admit; for we all
agree that nothing can ever enter there
unless it is perfectly pure and holy.
And almost all Christian people admit
that the heart of man is not pure by na-ture.
That even the infant's heart is
far from being pure by nature, few de-ny;
and to this the word of God agrees.
See Eph. 2: 3; Ps. 51: 5; 58: 2, and Gen.
8: 21. There is not a passage of scrip-ture
which teaches that man is born in a
state of purity; but all the scripture
that bears on the subject at all teaches
that he is born in a state of depravity;
so we all agree that at some time be-tween
our brith and our admittance into
heaven we must be made pure and holy.
But as to when and how we are made
pure there are a great many different
opinions.
The Roman Catholics teach that we
are made pure in purgatory; that there
the souls of men are made fit for heaven.
This we deny; for to accept that theory
would be making purgatory our Savior
and Sanctifier, instead of the precious
blood' of Jesus. Another • theory ad-vanced
by a great many is that death
makes ' us all pure and free from sin.
This we also deny, for it would make
death our Savior; and while we
that some may be saved and purl
when very near death, et it is not d
that does the work; for death is our
emy, and is to be destroyed by
Christ. Still others advance a
that man is what he makes hi
That he makes himself pure and fit
heaven. This we also deny-. We
not make ourselves pure any more tha
the Ethiopian can change his skin,
the leopard his spots; and to woe
such a theory would be to claim 0*
selves as our own Savior and Sanetill*,
We can not in any way make ourselvig,
pure. All the good works we can is
and all the self- sacrifice we can make
not in any way make us pure in his sigh
or remove our transgressions from. us.
No, my dearly beloved, man is no
his own Savior. Neither purgatory
death, the grave, nor man's own work`:'-
will save or purify the soul of in
Then what will atone for his transgreaa
sions, or wash away his sins? We an-swer,
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Jesus - paid it all. Then the next ques-tion
that presents itself is, When may,
we get a pure heart? Some will an-swer,
At conversion. This we deny.
We admit that in conversion all our sins
are forgiven us, and we are engrafted
into the true vine Christ Jesus, and be-gin
to partake of the life of Christ. But
while Christ is a good olive tree, we are
by nature wild, and we know that sim-ply
grafting us into him does not take
the wild nature out of us, but only ena-bles
us to draw our life from him. So
that when we are first grafted into him
there are then two separate and distinct
natures within us; and while we are draw-ing
our spiritual life from Christ, there
is a wild nature within us that wrestles
against the spirit of life, for this wild na-ture
will often manifest itself in anger,
pride, and love of self more than the
love of others or of God. This is the
general testimony of converted people
before they are sanctified. And this
wild nature frequently breeds division
among God's , hildren, as it was wi
some of the Corinthian brethren. Some
were for Paul, some for . Apollos, and
some for Cephas; and while the apostle
addresses them as brethren, and says
that they were in Christ, he tells them
that they were carnal like babes. Read
1 Goa 3: 1- 3. This was only the out-working
of the wild nature that they
possessed before they were converted,
or grafted into Christ. It had never
yet been purged away, and if suffered to
remain was liable to hinder them in
great many ways from being as fruitful
as they would be if it were taken away.*
' W e see also that this nature was man-ifested
in the apostles before they werea,
sanctified. On one occasion the y wer
disputing among themselves as to whoa
should be the greatest in the kingdom
of heaven, and Jesus rebuked them, say-ing
that whosoever humbled himself the - a
most should be the greatest, and that if
any among them desired to be chief, he
should first become servant to all, and
that he himself did not come to be served
but to serve others. So we find they did.
not get a pure heart when they were,
converted, and Jesus makes this very'
plain in Jno. 15: 2, where he promises:
to purge them if they bear fruit; and
then in verse 5 he tells them they are
branches in him; for he says, " I am the
true vine, ye are the branches." So we
learn from this that they were branches,
but not purged branches; and since " to
purge" means to make pure, it follows
that they were not pure in heart, al-though
they were clean from all actual -
transgressions_ They were not of the
world; they were in Christ; they bad
their names written in heaven; they
were clean front the sins of the world,-
and yet they were not' pure in heart;-:
for if they had been, Jesus would not
have promised to make them pure who''
bearing fruit. They still possessed the",: r
wild, carnal nature; and while the1H.
World," Christ said, and we are to un-derstand
that God requires us to shine,
and to work in his vineyard. Some
have the gifts for preaching, others are
helpers, and others have the qualifica-tions
for private and personal work.
All these can make their work more

tracts and other reading matter. Then
there are those who have the qualifica-tions
of a steward to accumulate and
manage the possessions God places in
their reach. But God intends that such
talents be put to use for him the same as
any other gifts. Let- such withhold not
their means from the gospel cause, but
prove the blessedness and prosperity of
giving to the Lord, and prove the reward
that faithful stewards shall receive.
May God stir up his people to more ac-tivity
in the vineyard of the Lord.
tion and are living without God and
without Nape in the world, and when
we talk With them about their condition
they will point to the crookedness of
professors as an excuse for getting away
from the Lord.
It is a very easy matter to find fault
with others when we are in fault our-selves,
and the enemy of our souls will
make things appear as faults that when
Looked at in the propor light would not
be anything very serious at all. ' It is sin
that will distort and cause the appear-ance
of unseemliness in. the lives of those
who are or profess to be the children of
God.
It was unwillingness to obey God in
the first place, perhaps, that caused
those souls to step out of the way and
when once out of the order of the
Lord, then „ spiritual darkness soon fol-lowed,
and to ease the guilty conscience
they began to look around to find some
excuse. About the first ' thing that the
enemy presents to them - is the crooked-ness
of professors, and like a drowning
man grasping at a straw they take this
for a refuge or something behind which
to hide. They forget that the " waters
shall overflow their hiding- places," and
this " overflowing scourge" will overtake
them in a time when they least expect it.
There are some dear souls who lack
stability, and in time of trials and temp-tations
fall away. They fail to keep
their eyes on Jesus, and like Peter begin
to sink in the waters of despair. They
fail also t3 do as Peter did and cry to
God for help—" Lord save me, or I per-ish."
While they are trying to hide
behind the imperfection of others they
seem to forget that perhaps some one is
looking at them and pointing out their
imperfections and thus because of their
sinful ways finding an excuse for an un-godly
life. There is not anything that
will excuse us in the day of ' lodgment;
for every one must give an account of
himself to God, and we shall all appear
before the " judgment seat of Christ."
Those dear souls do not realize that while
they are away from the Lord in their
waywardness, they are frequently real
blocks in the way of God's work, and if
they. would let Jesus save them, and
then trust him to keep them, their lives
would be made a blessing to others in-stead
of a blight, and by steadfastness in
God's way the solitary place and the
desert would soon rejoice and " blossom
as the rose."
Stokesbridge, S. C.
Since the assembly in Augusta, Ga. I
have been almost regularly in the field.
I am praising God to- day for giving me
increased light on his word, which is to
me very helpful in soul and body. I
have preached privately and publicly at
the following places, and the Lord bless-ed
his word, which proved to be the
means of great benefit to many precious
soulS. Ionia, and Lynchburg, S. C.,
and surrounding country, and at Bro.
Duke's place about ten miles north of
might grow and bear some fruit, they
could never grow this wild nature out of
them, or purge themselves from it, but
it must remain until purged away by the
blood of Jesus. And this he did for
them on the day of Pentecost. When
he sent the hlessed Holy Spirit upon
them, whch filled each of them full of
the perfect love of God which was shed
abroad in their hearts by the Holy Ghost,
which sanctified and made them perfect,
it was indeed a mighty work wrought in
them; for it delivered them from fear and
strife and carnality, and everything that
was not like Jesus. And from that day
on there was no more striving for great-ness
among them; there were no more
carnal divisions among them, and no
more seeking after honor, but they were
all of, one heart and one mind; and
they spoke the word of God with bold-ness
and with fear, and this blessed Holy
Spirit baptism did actually make them
pure in heart. See Acts 15: 8, 9. It
sanctified them ( Born. 15: 16); it made
them perfect. Heb. 10: 14.
So we have learned that we do riot get
a pure heart when we are converted, but
when we are sanctified by the B oly
Ghost. Then to get a pure heart means
to get sanctified wholly.
News from the Field.
Lima, Ohio, June 25.
We are glad to inform the readers of
the Trumpet that God is bestowing his
favor on us, and causing us to triumph.
For several weeks we have been engaged
in house- to- house work in this city.
Many are becoming interested in the lit-erature.
We distributed a good many
tracts and Trumpets, and believe if a
tabernacle meeting were held here, much
good would be accomplished in the name
of the Lord. Many are anxious to hear
the truth preached, and some one with a
tabernacle should come to this city soon.
We expect to continue here a month or
two, hoping the Lord will direct some of
his ministers here in the near future.
For any correspondence with us address

Hubbard, Oregon, June 25.
The Hubbard camp- meeting has just
closed. The saints from various locali-ties
of this state and Washington are re-turning
to their homes rejoicing in the
benefits of grace received in this blessed
season of refreshing from the presence of
the Lord. This meeting has been a har-vest
of precious souls. About twenty-five
were turned from the power of
Satan unto God and received forgiveness
of sins. Some of these, with many oth-ers,
entered the inheritance among them
which are sanctified. Many received the
benefits of healing grace with many other
good things from the bountiful hand of
God. The attendance at this meeting
was good, though materially diminished
by the continuous rains which kept up
almost during the entire time. All on
the grounds were kept from sickness and
colds and seemed to become unconscious
of the conditions of the weather. Bros.
G. - W. Bailey, James Bamford, J. L.
Green, and C. H. Hale, with other
workers, were present to assist in this in-gathering
of souls. The truth was
preached with power and the simplicity
of Christ, which produced a desirable
effect upon many- hearts. We believe
that this community has been profited
much by this meeting, and pray that
much more lasting good may yet come
forth from this bread cast upon the
waters. Twenty- six were baptized and
seventy- one participated in the ordi-nances.

Louisville, Ky., June 25.
We are enjoying more of God to- day
than ever before. Praise God! We
have no, discouraging reports to bring
about the good land; it is even better
than what we had heard. The dear ones
who have gone over and took their pos-sessions
and are now living on the fat of
the land understand these things. Of
course we would like to see more souls
saved, more believers sanctified, more of
the sick healed; yet if we do all we can,
God clears our souls. For the past two
years wife and I have been working in
Pennsylvania. The dear Lord led us to
the Moundsville camp- meeting, where
we enjoyed a most glorious feast of fat
things. Previous to coming to this
meeting ' we had been thinking some of
going west to Illinois, but while waiting
on the Lord for his will concerning our
field of labor, the Lord suffered us not
to go into Illinois but the Spirit said go
down into Kentucky. So we came, and
we are now engaged in a meeting here
in Louisville. If the Lord wills, we
expect to be at some of the camp- meet-ings
here in Kentucky. We expect the
Lord will have us to labor some through
central Kentucky. I was born and
raised in Washington county. We are
not in the least discouraged about this
glorious work of the Lord. The work
looks more encouraging than ever before.
The reason why some get discouraged
is often from the fact that there is a lack
in their own souls. if we as workers
are filled with the Holy Ghost and fire,
the people and the saints will find it out,
and some will get hungry for the same
experience. Praise the dear Lord. We
beg an interest in your prayers, that we
may live in the Spirit, walk in the Spirit,
and be led of the Spirit, and that we
may be kept low down at Jesus' feet,

while at Bennettsville, S. C., and found
Sister Sarah E. Stone seeking very ear-nestly
for light on the church. This I
gave in the name of the Lord, and it
proved to be to her a means of great
satisfaction, which caused much rejoic-ing
in the Lord. Pray for the dear peo-ple
at all these placesnud here in this
part of the south - generally. In travel-ing
through several different counties in
these two states I find many standards
lifted up in the name of holiness, and
when they are examined by the Bible
they are clearly seen not to be of God.
Their differing so greatly among them-selves
seems to be the means of bringing
to light the most confusion that has been. -
seen among the sect holiness ( so- called)
people. One of the ministers of the
South Carolina conference with whom I
was intimately acquainted eight years
ago, who at that time preached holiness,
now denies that the Bible is a divinely
inspired book. Let us see what God
says about it. 2 Tim. 3: 16, 17; 2 ret.
1: 2u, 21. Then let God. be true, but
every man a liar. I also met a very
prominent evangelist of South Carolina
who told me that he was afraid to try
to know anything much about the Bible.
Since the leaders are despairing of ever
finding God's way, how could it be bet-ter
with their poor deluded followers?
The Bible is our lamp and light. Ps;
119: 105, 130. We love it. Ps. 119:

Shillong, India, May 26.
Dear Brethren in Christ: I am glad
to inform you that I have received the-
Bible, tracts, etc., with thanks. They
prove very useful to myself and to some
of my friends. The people of this coun-try
are addicted to smoking, chewing
betel and tobacco, and drinking tea, even
among those who profess to be Chris-tians.
But thank God, he has saved me
from these habits, to which I was form-erly
enslaved. There is a great differ-ence
between our experience and yours.
Christians are taught to look upon entire
cleansing as a thing unattainable through-out
a man's life and so regard those who
profess to be perfect and to be leading a
sinless life as fanatics and presumptuous.
I have heard of people falling down in
the meeting and crying for mercy that
the Lord would * save them or of persons
preaching with Pentecostal power, but I
have never seen such personally because
it is not practiced in these hills. Our
Christian life is more or less hazy. I
pray that God may send us one of his
servants who has been endowed with the
Spirit, to wake us up out of this dormant
state, to make us also realize the need of
a personal Savior. We have translated
and published in our paper one of the
tracts named " Must We Sin?" and I in-tend
to translate some more later on. I
am led to see that you over there are
really in the right in following rigidly
the word of God, and I am trying to fol-low
in your footsteps, but, oh, the odds
that are against me. Please pray for
me, that I may persevere, and send me
words of encouragement too. I feel so
helpless and weak sometimes, although I
am conscious that the Lord has been help-ing
me all along. Yours in Christ,
W. M. Roy.

Dear Friends of The Gospel Trumpet:
No doubt you are hearing something
about the famine. From letters we re-ceive
we realize a wide- spread interest is
felt, and we thought perhaps it might
encourage you a little to hear from us.
Those who have never really been in a
famine can not picture to themselves the
awful suffering attending it; even those
fourth Sunday in May six precious souls
followed Jesus in baptism, and, praise
God! five more are now ready. Dear
ones, we are all young saints, and we
need your prayers. The little church in
this part is undergoing some severe tests.
Being fully led of the Lord on last Sun-day
to visit the Baptist sect On their meet-ing
day, after service was over ( preaching
and- taking up collection) we intended to
have preaching somewhere in the settle-ment.
So I asked- one of the deacons to
announce it, and so the preacher in charge
got in possession of the word and he be-gan
to abuse us. In the midst of the
yells and shouts we were moved to shout
salvation full and free, for which cause
they ran violently upon us and threw us
out of the house, then led us away from
in front of the door. All the glory be
to God. On Monday following they pros-ecuted
us under- the charge of disturbing
public worship. Amen. For which
myself and three others of the saints
were, arrested and placed under bail. The
suit is pending for the Saturday before
the second Lord's day in July. We want
all the dear saints to pray that the dear
Lord may direct- us in all things and that
all . the glory may be. his. Praise the
dear Lord! Please pray much for us,
that the dear Lord may direct all our
ways and that we keep humble at the
feet of Jesus, where he can always use
us to his own glory. Praise the Lord!

Whirlwind, Tenn., June 25.
We can report perfect victory in our
souls over all the power of the enemy.
Some few days ago we arrived from
Johnson City, where we had been bat-tling
for the Lord. Some precious souls
came out straight for the truth, but nev-ertheless
the devil was there with his
army doing all he could. He was there
in the garb of holiness, but the Lord has
given us his Spirit, which will not fel-lowship
the spirit of error. We are of
God: he that knoweth God heareth us;
he that is not of God heareth us not.
Hereby we know the Spirit of truth, and
the spirit of error."- 1 Jno. 1: 6. Let
us ask God for much wisdom that we
may always be able to discern the crook-ed
spirits that are out in the world.
Truly we once thought it was all right
to fellowship everything that came
along, and we were honest in it. But,
beloved, since the pure light has come so
brilliant we can. not do it. If we do,
before we know it almost we * ill be as
crooked as the devil wants us. " If there
come any unto you, and bring not this
doctrine, receive him not into your
house, neither bid him God speed; for
he that biddeth him God speed is par-taker
of his evil deeds."- 2 Jno. 10, 11.
May the Lord help U3 to see these things.
Three, followed the Lord in baptism
and one professed the blessing of sancti-fication.
We feel sure the Lord is going
to do a grand work as Johnson City in
addition to what he has already done.
We are expecting to begin meeting the
last of this month here at this place.
There are not very many saints at this
place, but what are here are solid. Pray
for us and the work at this place. Any
one desiring to correspond with us re-garding
holding meeting or anything else
can address us at Greenville, Tenn. and
we will go wherever the Lord opens up
the way.

in my every need. Leaning on him ate
are able to continually preach his word,
work for souls, and perform every other
duty required of us, and still prove that
his yoke is easy and his burden light.
God is graciously opening doors for ser-vice
in hospitals, jails, and street work—
so much needed in this city. Thus far
he has blessed every effort put forth in
his name. But we are praying the Lord
of the harvest to send us laborers truly
sent of God for this work— those " who
can have compassion on the ignorant,
and on them that are out of the way."
— Bab. 5: 2.
At one time God laid the burden for
souls heavy upon our hearts, and it has
never pleased him to take it away. So
to- day I can truly testify that God's
work still lies the nearest thing to my
heart and life in this world. Let us pray
God to roll such a burden for lost souls
on us that we can with love and real care
warn every soul faithfully and pray the
real prayer of faith for their deliverance
from sin. In the past year God has won-derfully
answered believing prayer for
healing, in my own body and on my lit-tle
boy. From birth he had eczema, but
as soon as we knew certainly what it
was we took it to the Lord in faith, and
he perfectly healed it. Dear mothers,
do not be afraid to trust your children
in the hands of the Lord for healing.
Do not be anxious nor careful for fear
of his taking them away from you. " He
does not afflict willingly nor grieve the
children of men." — Lam. 3: 33.

on the field fail to picture it as it really
is. Some try hard, but they come far
short. Such sights meet the eyes- men,
women, and children like moving skele-tons,
some covered with sickening sores,
are to be met at every street corner and
under almost every shady tree, and, in
- many places the dead lie putrid in the
bleaching sun, throwing out an awful
smell. What an awful death to die! I
saw many human skulls and bones scat-tered
by the roadside and. railway track
as I traveled throughout the famine dis-trict.
The people with their solemn
legki. and tread make you feel you are in
lihe city of the dead. Though crowds of
people are moving here and there, yet
there is ' scarcely any noise. • An awful
form of Asiatic cholera is adding its hor-rors
to the suffering caused by famine,
and the people are dying by hundreds.
The papers say that the cholera mortal-ity
at the various famine relief works is
simply appalling, and the panic- stricken
people are leaving these works by shoals
and spreading themselves over the coun-try,
whilst the hospitals attached to the
works are crowded with sick, and suffer-ing
people. 46,000 have run away from
the Gujrat district alone on account of
the outbreak of cholera- many to die in
the jungle where none can pity or help
them. These sights are enough to melt
the hardest heart. If the dear people at
home could but hear the pitiful cries of
- those famishing multitudes, they would
pray as never before, and would feel like
saying:
" Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That wert an offering far too small:
Love so amazing; so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my alL"
The suffering is much worse than it is
represented to be by the Government.
Some of the Government officers I fear
have an awful reckoning time awaiting
them in regard to this famine. God in
- his compassion will not bear it forever,
but will throw a flood, of light over this
whole business, revealing its corruption
to the world. Very little notice is taken
of the famine by the public at large.
Re ask your prayers at this time. Great
responsibilities are upon us- greater than
we are now aware of- in training as
well as rescuing the children. We have
recently rescued 154. Some have died,
but we believe we shall meet them again.
We are here to obey God at all cost.
Will rescue more as God opens up
the way. Please write direct to us.
Yours in the Lord, Robert Jarvis.
Testimonies
Plattsburg, Miss.
I had religious impressions in my early
youth. There was a hungering and
thirsting in my soul, but I could find no
food in the modern sectish preaching
that would satisfy my hunger. In
1893, having seen a copy of the Trum-pet
and seen some folks that taught holi-ness,
I sent for another copy of the
Trumpet. The Trumpet came to me
several weeks, also some tracts which
gave me much light; and I began to
look into this doctrine. I was impressed
that the teaching was right. About this
time Bro. Owens came to our community
and held a few meetings, and I was con-vinced
of the truth, but there was so
much opposition, and father and mother
fought it so bitterly that my convictions
were drowned or overruled by the love
of popularity and fear of what friends
and relatives might think of me.. So I
quit attending their meetings, but often
felt the Spirit of God piercing my inmost
heart because of disobedience. In spite
of my resistance, the Lord had his hand
on me. I decided to attend the Platts-burg
tabernacle- meeting in the fall of
1896. Here I accepted Jesus as my
Savior. I thought the battle was fought
and the victory won. The sweet peace
and comfort I felt „ in my soul, I thought
-` wodd always last; but, alas! the trial
came- the temptations and trials I had
never thought of. I had not fhlly
" counted the cost;" so I began to asso-ciate
with wordly young people saf the
opposite sex, and though being admon-ished
by dear friends, I was stubborn
and persisted, but soon found myself fast
drifting away from the Lord and finally
gave up my profession, bringing a re-proach
upon God's holy cause. For
several months I lived a miserable life.
I had lost confidence in myself and every-body
else.. I imagined that everybody
else was baok- slidden. I was often seized
with conviction and felt miserable over
my wretched condition, and would make
effort after effort to serve the Lord, but
was soon overcome and found myself
again under bondage to Satan, driven
captive at his will. He would often
quote this scripture to me: " For if we
sin willfully after that we have received
the knowledge of the truth, there re-maineth
no more sacrifice for sins."-
lieb. 10: 26. Also Heb. 6: 1- 6. This
I thought meant my case; but I read in
this word: " Whosoever will, let him
take the water of life freely," and I
knew that " whosoever will" meant me.
I plead for mercy, and found peace to
my soul- an unutterable joy that is bet-ter
felt than told. Young brothers and
sisters, let me admonish you, never do as
I did, but heed the admonition of those
that are over you in the Lord; it will
save you many heartaches and stripes.
When first converted I was deeply im-pressed
that the Lord wanted me in the
work, but I would dismiss it from my
mind, believing it to be a delusion. But
since the Lord has reclaimed me, the
calling has been made so plain to me that
I can no longer doubt. I feel so weak
and unable to undertake the work of the
Lord. I ask the brethren all who read
this to pray that I may ever be kept
humble and obedient, where I can ever
say amen to the Master's call. Pray for
the work in the south. We need more
workers here in Mississippi. Can not
some of the brethren' be with us in oar
meeting at Plattsburg, beginning Aug.
17? Again I ask the saints everywhere
to uphold us by your prayers.

The dear Lord has saved me from all
sin and keeps me saved all the time and
heals me when I am sick. A. few weeks
ago I was carrying out a kettle of hot
lye and spilled some on one of my feet.
I went into the house and took m• y shoe
off as quick as I could, and there was a
space burnt about two inches long. The
skin was ready to come off. I got a
cotton rag and tied it up and then went
to the Lord with it for a few minutes.
It was just eleven o'clock and I had to
dinner. By the time I got dinner.

on it, and had to use a crutch. In tvr:.

In spiteof all I could do. Believing God

held on to the Lord for my heal-ing.
I still continued having heart
spells, in which it would seem that I
was dying. On the 21st of May I had
a hard spell. Thinking that I could not
live through another, I went down on
my knees to my God. I felt no strength
of nalself in the sight of my Lord and
realized ray littleness before him. I was
perfectly submissive to his will in all
