Is Holiness a Bible Doctrine?

ful witness; the' plan of salvation is a
failure; Christ's death then only per-petuated
that which he came to destroy;
the Bible is proved untrue; faith is made
void, and we are all living under the,
curse of a broken law; spiritual death is
reigning over all the inhabitants of earth,
from which there is no escape.
Shame on you who oppose plain Bible
teaching and account the blood of Christ
an unworthy thing. Shame on you who
profess- to know God but deny his power
to save. Think you that the laws of the
universe are ao changed that you can
sow to the flesh and of the flesh reap life
everlasting? Think you that God so
favorS us that he will allow us to com-mit
sin each day either in thought, word,
or deed, and not receive the wages of the
same; when for only one sin in the early
morning of creation the decree of death
was passed upon the whole human fam-ily,
and which could only be abolished
by sacrificing the brightest character in
the courts of God? " Or despisest thou
the riches of his goodness and forbearance
and long- suffering; not knowing that the
goodness of God leadeth thee to repen-tance?
But after thy hardness and im-penitent
heart treasurest up unto thyself
wrath against the day of wrath and rev-elation
of the righteous judgment of
God; who will render to every man ac-cording
to his deeds; to them who by
patient continuance in well doing seek
for glory and honor and immortality,
eternal life. But unto them that are
contentious, and do not obey the truth
but obey unrighteousness, indignation
and wrath, tribulation and anguish upon
every soul of man that doeth
* Rom. 2: 4- 9.
What is truth? " Thy word is truth."
What does the Word say? " Blessed
are the pure in heart; for they ronly]
shall see God."- Matt. 5; 8. " The oath
which - lie swear to our father Abraham,
that he would grant unto ns, that we
being delivered out of- the hands of our
enemies might serye him without fear, in
holiness and righteousness before him all
the days of our life."- Luke 1: 73- 75.
" The grace of God that bringeth salva-bon
bath appeared to all men, teaching
us that, denying ungodliness and worldly
lusts, we should live soberly, righteously,
and godly in this present word; looking
for that blessed hope."- Tit. 2: 11- 13.
" And every man that hath this hope in
him purifieth himself even as he [ Christ]
is pure."- 1 Jno. 3: 3. " Follow peace
with all men, and holiness, without
which no man shall see the Lord."-
Bab. 12: 14.
" If any man teach otherwise, and con-sent
not to wholesome words, even the
words of the Lord Jesus Christ, and to
the doctrine which is according to godli-ness;
he is proud, , knowing nothing,
. . . men of corrupt minds and destitute
of the truth, . from such [ the apos-tle
says] withdraw thyself."- 1 Tim.
6: 3- 5. " Holiness becometh thine house,
Lord, , forever."- Ps. 93: 5. " Know
SERE are thousands of theories ex-nt
in. this world to- day, opposing
each other in every conceivable manner;

of years, by sacrifices without number,
to keep from sin: but it was impossible;
for with those sacrifices which they
offered, God was displeased. But God
promised that the time would come when
the seed of the woman should bruise the
serpent's bead ( Gen. 3: 15): when out of
Zion would conic forth a deliverer, who
should turn away ungodliness arid take.,
away sins. Rom. 11: 26, 27. also that
a fountain would be opened in Which
people could wash and be free from the
stain which sin had made. Zech. 13: 1.
- We find this last prophecy fulfilled in
Rev. 1: 5, when John declares that Jesus
Christ is the " faithful witness," and he
who washed us from our sins in his own
blood. The same was fulfilled in Matt.
1: 21, 22-" And she shall bring forth a
son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus;
for he shall save his people from their
sins. Now all this was done, that it
might be fulfilled which was spoken of
the Lord by the prophet." Man was like
unto a candle whose light had gone out,
and by not having power within himself
to relight, was in a retrograding condi=
tion. But while man was without
strength, Christ came into this world to
be a deliverer; to destroy the works of
the devil; to turn away ungodliness and
to save his people from their sins. As
death is the result of sin, death can only
be abolished by destroying that which
causeth death, which is sin. " But
Peter, standing up with the eleven,
lifted up his voice, and said unto them,
. . Ye men of Israel, hear these words:
Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of
God among you by miracles and wonders
and signs, . . him, . . . ye have
taken, and by wicked hands have crucified
and slain: whom God hath raised np,
having loosed the pains of death."-
Acts 2: 14- 24. If these words be true,
Christ through his death and resurrection
abolished both. physical and spiritual
death. -
Now we have clearly proved that sin-was
the cause of man's downfall; and
that God of old promised that the seed
of the woman should bruise the serpent's
head; which was fulfilled when Christ
was born into this world of the virgin
Marv; and was declared to be the faith-ful
witness; the only potentate, the
King of kings and the Lord of lords,
" who only hath immortality, dwelling
in the light which no man can approach
unto."- 1 Tim. 6: 15, 16. Paul knowing
God's promise, and accepting Christ to
be the faithful witness, and who alone
hath immortality, exclaimed: " Who
hath saved us, and called us with a holy
calling, not according to our works, but
according to his own purpose and grace,.
which was given us in Christ Jesus be-fore
the world began, but is now made
manifest by the appearing of our Savior
Jesus Christ, who bath abolished death
and bath brought life and immortality,
to, light through the gospel."- 2 Tim.;
1: 9, 10. If death has - been abolished,
surely there is a holy people in
to- day. If there are no people ari
the world who are living a holy, sin*
life, perfect in word, deed, and thought,
then God, who can not change, has
changed his mind and broken his orOm-ise;
Christ is declared to be an unfaith4
before, so say I now again, If any man
preach any other gospel unto you than
that ye have received, - let him be ac-cur

The Spiritual House of God.
BY WM. W. FITZWATER. 44yE also, as lively stones, are built
up a spiritual house." - 1 Pet.
2: 5. Is this house visible or invisible?
It is both visible and invisible. It is
called a spiritual house because it is com-posed
of spiritual- born people both in
heaven and in earth. Therefore Paul
says, " But Christ as a son over his own
house; whose house are we."- Heb. 3: 6.
" If I tarry long, that thou mayest know
how thou oughtest to behave thyself in
the hoese of God, which is the church of
the living God."- 1 Tim. 3: 15. " Ye
are come unto . . • . the . . . church of
the first- born. "- Id eb. 12 : 23. " For
this cause I bow my knees unto the
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom
the whole family in heaven and earth is
named."- Eph. 3: 14, 15.
The foregoing scriptures prove that
this house is composed of saved people,
and that the house` is the church; and the
fact that the apostle says, " Ye are come
unto . . . the . . . church" proves that
it is in earth as welt as in heaven; hence,
where we see a congregation of spiritual
people gathered together, they are the
spiritual house or church visible to the
human eye. Since we have proved by
the immutable word that the house is
composed of spiritual, or saved, people
and that the house and church are iden-tical,
if we can prove that the church is
the body and that there is but one body,
it ought to convince any teachable mind
that there is but one true church.
" Who now rejoice in my sufferings
for you and fill up that which is behind
of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for
his body's sake, which is the church."
- Col. 1: 24. " There is one body."-
Eph. 4: 4. " But now are they many
members, yet but one body."- 1 Cor.
12: 2. " We believe these scriptures are suf-ficient
to convince any unprejudiced mind
that there is but one true church. Christ
built this church. He says, " Upon this
rock I will build my church."- Matt.
16: 18. Some one may ask, " How did
he build it?" He framed it together
( Eph. 2: 21), tempered it together ( Col.
2: 24), knit it together ( Col. 2: 2); " That
there should be no schism in the body
[ church]; but that the members should
have the same care one for another." -
1 Cor. 12: 25.
Now the question is: How do we be-come
a member of this church or body?
by a spiritual birth when you fully meet
the Bible requirements such as repenting
( Acts 17 : 30), forsaking sins ( Isa. 55: 7),
forgiving trespasses ( Matt. 6: 14, 15),
confessing your sins to God and believ-ing
that he forgives. 1 Jno. 1: 9. The
effect of believing is: " Whosoever be-lieveth
that Jesus is the Christ is born
of God."- 1 Jno. 5: 1. " As new- born
babes, desire the sincere milk of the
word, that ye may grow thereby: if so
be ye have tasted that the Lord is gra-cious.
To whom coming, as unto a
lively stone, disallowed indeed of men,
THE GOSPEL TRUMPET
man ekthe Beautiful gate did not re-ceive
iasi strength until he arose in the
name ; ot.- Wisas, and then he immediately
received strength and leaped and walked
and praised God. Acts 3: 7,8.
May AO clear Lord help each one of
chilaien'to stand upon his word; for
indeed these are perilous times. Truly
the enemy is walking about seeking
whom he may devour, and nothing but
the grace and strength of God will carry
us safely through. "' Wherefore take
unto you the whole armor of God, that
ye may be able to withstand in the evil
day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt
about with truth, and having on the
breastplate of righteousness; and your
feet shod with the preparation of the
gospel of Tpeace; : above all taking the
shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be
able to quench all the fiery darts of the
wicked. And take the helmet of salva-tion,
and the sword Of the Spirit, which
is the word of God."— Eph. 6: 13- 17.
Let us so live that when the time of our
departure is at hand we can say with
Paul, " I have fought a good fight, I
have finished my course, I have kept the
faith."
BY WALLACE M. POTTER.
« T ET brotherly love continue."—
- Rob. 13: 1. Love is the very es-sence
of the divine life. It is the true
savor of holiness. It is the highest thing
attainable, either in this world or the
world to come-- the very consummation
of the mission of Christ to a fallen world.
It was love to man. who was lost, who
was undone, who was without hope and
without God, that caused God to send
forth his Son, who also was the very
embodiment of love, mercy, and truth.
" For God sent not his Son into the world
to condemn the world; but that the
world through him might be saved."-
Jno. 3: 17.
It is not only a high privilege to be
enjoyed by the brethren in Christ, this
continuance in love, but also it is an ab-solute
necessity in the church of God.
Now the church We understand to mean
a congregation of faithful men and
women met together for the true wor-ship
of God, the edification of believers,
and the conversion of the world. As a
mighty machine constructed for a partic-ular
work, and needing the care and at-tention
of an experienced overseer, who
is careful to apply oil on the journals,
that friction may not cause heat to melt
the babbit from the boxes, causing a
stoppage for repairs, the church for the
purpose already stated, must have the
oil of love constantly applied.
As " God has set some in the church,
first apostles, secondarily prophets,
thirdly teachers, after that miracles,
then gifts of healings, helps, govern-ments,
diversities of tongues," it is abso-lutely
necessary that brol herly love con-tinue---
that love that yearns for the spir-itual
and temporal welfare of your breth-ren
in Christ. That love must continue
which is sorely grieved should any of
the brethren fall into sin or into an er-ror
of doctrine, but which will not give
nim up until he be fully restored to the
way of life everlasting.
While God bath commanded that we
be " perfectly joined together in the
same mind and in the same judgment,"
vet in this day and age of the world
when Christians are brought up under
different schools of religion— in this day
when the unity of the faith lies deeply
buried in the ruins of the mighty Baby-lon—
we need to exercise great charity
and love for trite Christians who are not
as ', Jet perfectly : agreed with us. " Let
brotherly love continue," even if your
brother seemeth to be at variance with
you for- awhile. Brotherly love is that
holy thing that holds that estranged
brother's name up before God in holy
supplication and prayer, praying that
but chosen of God, and precious, ye also
as lively stones are built up a spiritual
house."-- 1 Pet. 2: 2- 5. " For by one
= Spirit are we all baptized into one body
[ church]."- 1 Cor. 12: 13. Now comes
the often- asked question: " Is this an
organized body or church?" We an-ewer:
" It is, but not by man." Mortal
man does not possess the ability to or-ganize
the_ house, or church. It is a
spiritual institution; it is therefore spir-itually
organized. What does the word
c ` organize" mean? Webster says: " To
form with suitable organs; to construct
so that one part may co- operate with
another; to distribute into parts and
appoint proper officers, that the whole
may act as one body." God does this,
" but the manifestation of the Spirit is
given to every man to profit withal."
" And he gave some, apostles; and some,
- prophets; and some, evangelists; and
some, pastors and teachers; for the per-fecting
of the saints, the work of the
ministry for the edifying of the body of
Christ."— Eph. 4: 11, 12. " For to one
is given by the Spirit the word of wis-dom;
to another the word of knowledge
by the same spirit; to another faith by
the same spirit; to another the gilts of
healing by the same spirit; to another
the working of miracles; to another
prophecy; to another discerning of spir-its;
to another divers kinds of tongues;
to another the interpretation of tongues:"
— 1 Cor. 12: 8- 10. Man can organize
the House of Representatives, secret so-cieties,
religious sects, etc.; but he can
not organize the church of God.
Let us just see how it would work for
man to undertake to organize the house
of God the Bible way. For example,
Mr. A. is an eminent preacher, but he
would rather not believe and teach all
the Bible teaches. So he takes certain
scriptures apart from the rest, teaches
them and no more, and starts out like
all other sect- builders to build his so-called
church, and B., C., D., E., F.,
G., and I. join him. They seem
to be prominent members. A. concludes
to organize his church ( so- called); so he
appoints a meeting. They all meet to
organize, " to appoint proper officers that
the whole may act as one body." A.
says he is going to organize the church
the way the Bible teaches it. He quotes:
" But the manifestation of the Spirit is
given to every man to prophet withal."
Then they begin to organize. They say:
" - We give Bro. B. the word of wisdom,"
Bro. C. " the word of knowledge," Bro.
- D. faith, Bro. E. " gifts of healing,"
Bro. F. " the working of miracles,"
Bro. G. " prophecy," Bro. H. " discern-ing
of spirits," Bro. I. " divers kinds of
tongues," and Bro. J. " the : interprets_
tion of tongues." Reader, do you not
see the inconsistency of a man or a set of
men undertaking or even talking about
organizineg the church or house of God.
No man nor men possess the ability to
administer the aforesaid gifts to man;
but God does. He therefore is the sole
organizer of the whole structure; " And
God [ not man] hath set some in the
church, first apostles, secondarily proph-ets,
thirdly teachers, after that miracles,
then gifts of healings, helps, govern-ments,
diversities of tongues" ( 1 Cor.
12: 28); " that there should be no schism
[ divisions] in the body [ chaucti]." " Mark
them which cause divisions and offenses
contrary to the doctrine which ye have
learned; and avoid them. For they that
are such serve. not our Lord Jesus Christ,
but their own bellies."— Rom. 16: 11,
18. " Now I beseech you, brethren, by
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that
ye all speak the same thing, that there
be no division among you; but that ye
be perfectly joined together in the same
mind and in the same judgment."- 1
Cor. 1: 10. " Be no more child- en, tossed
to and fro [ divided and subdivided], and
carried about with every wind of doc-trine,
by the sleight of men, and cunning
craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to de-ceive;
but speaking the truth in love,
may grow up into him in all things, which
is the head, even Christ."-- Eph. 4: 14,
15. " He is the head of the body the
church. "— Col. 1: 18. " From- whom the
whole body fitly joined together and
compacted by that which every joint
supplieth, according to the effectual
working in the measure of- every part,
maketh increase of the body unto the edi-fying
of itself in love.''— Eph. 4: 16.
" And ye are complete in him, which is
the head of all principality and power."
— Col. 2: 10. " For it pleased the Father
that in him [ Christ] should all the full-ness
dwell."
God who directs all things well
search thine own heart, to see whet
thou art yet in the faith, to show
whether thou art entirely free from
sure. And further. this love will sh
thy brother his true state, his alien
from thee, and that from no just ea
it max be; and it will pray that
will give wisdom and guidance to
that may be turned aside.
" Let brotherly love continue;" fo

one another. By this shall all men kilo.

in one strong band for truth and righ

Love is the ver y embodiment of the
Christian graces. The ultimatum of t
Christian's hope. Heaven will be a heaven:::
indeed because all is love. Loire is that
holy thing that dispel' all darkness from
the human soul and lights up the pathe!

Continuance of Brotherly Love.
It Is Finished.
BY CRAB- MELTON'.
W hEN Jesus therefore had received
the vinegar he said, " It is finish-ed,"
and bowed his head and gave up the
ghost. What love the blessed Son of
God had for this lost world— not willing
to die until he had took the vinegar, until
he had drunk the dregs of sorrow and
suffering; not until he had finished the
work his Father had sent him to do:
then and not till then he bowed his head
and gave up the ghost. What perfect
love! What a perfect life! What a
perfect plan— not satisfied until he had
fulfilled to the very letter what his
Father had sent him to do. ' What did
his Father send him to do? " The Spirit
of the Lord God is upon me; because
the Lord hath anointed me to preach
good tidings unto the meek; he hath
sent me to bind up the broken- hearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives, and
the opening of the prison to them that
are bound."— Isa. 61: 1. Did he do
that work? " I have glorified thee on
earth; I have finished the work thou
gayest me to do."-- Jno. 17: 4. Dear
ones, it is finished; the work of our sal-vation
is complete, which means deliver-ance
from all the works of the devil.
" For this purpose the Son of God was
manifested, that he might destroy the
works of the devil."-- 1 Jno. 3: 8.
So let as move forward and take God
at his word. You suffering ones that are
waiting for healing to come to you, arise,
move forward to it. The promised land
would never lave come over to the chil-dren
of Israel. They had to go over and
take possession of it, and fight for it
after they crossed over. So, dear ones,
if we expect to enjoy the blessin gs and
benefits of God's promises, we will have
to cross over to them.
Let us not say, " I have done all I
can, and yet I have not received the
healing," and continue to wander
around in the wilderness and let the devil
hold us down with sickness . and disease.
But arise in the name of the Lord and
cross over to the promised land. Many
who have started toward the promised
land, have become murmurers and com-plainers,
and have fallen prey to the lep-rosy
of Miriam. Num. 12: 10. Some
become alarmed at the giants, the sons
of Anak, trusting in their own strength
that they are able to overcome them.
Dear ones, let us go in the strength of
our God. David says, " I will love thee,
O Lord, my strength. The Lord is my
rock, and my fortress.: and my deliverer;
my God, my strength, in whom I will
trust; my buckler, and the horn of my
salvation, and my high tower. I will
call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be
praised: so shall I be saved from mine
enemies."-- Ps. 18: 1- 3. David's God is
our God, and he is the same deliverer.
Praise God! his salvation binds up the
broken- hearted. It proclaims liberty to
the captives. It opens the prison to
them that are bound. The woman
whom Satan had bound for eighteen long
years immediately found deliverance in
Jesus. Dear ones, It is finished. It is
left to you whether you will cross over
or remain in the wilderness. God will
not come down and lift you from your
bed; but by faith you must arise, and
then you will receive the promise. The
4e OR. we are glad, when we
weak, and ye are strong; and thi
also we wish, even your perfection."•
2 Cor. 13: 0. " Therefore leaving t
principles of the doctrine of Christ let us, e
go on to perfection."— Ileb. 6: 1. " If
therefore perfection were by the Levitical
priesthood, what further need was there:
that another priest should rise after the
order of Melchisedec, and not after the.,!';
order of Aaron?"— Ileb. T: 11. This;

PERFECTION.
BY EMU. KREUTZ.
-- Rev. 5: 9. The fullness ofre edeapteen
" But one in a certain place testified,
saying, What is man, that thou art
mindful of him? or the son. of man, that -
thou visitest him? Thou modest him a
little lower than the angels; thou
crownedst him with glory and honor,
and didst set him over the works of thy
hands: • thou hest put all things in sub-jection
under his feet. For in that he- put
all in subjection under him, he left noth-ingthat
is not put under him. But now
we see not yet all things put under him
But we see Jesus, who was made a little
lower then the angels, for the sufferin- v
of death, crowned with glory and honor;
that he by the grace or God should taste
death for every man. For it became
him, for whom are all things, and by
whom are all things, in bringing many
sons unto glory, to make the captain of
their salvation perfect through sufferings.
For both he that sanctifieth and they
who are sanctified are all of one: for
which cause he is not ashamed to call
them brethren."— Heb. 2: 6- 11. " And
being made perfect he became the author
- of eternal salvation unto all them that
obey him." — Heb. 5: 9. " The law
made nothing - perfect, but the bringing
in of a better hope did; by the which
We draw nigh unto God."— Heb. 7: 19.
The better hope is in Christ. Under
the law the tabernacle, the vessels of the
ministry, and " almost all things are by
the law purged with blood; and without
shedding of blood is no remission. It
was therefore necessary that the patterns
of the things in the heavens should be
purified with these [ the blood of bulls
and goats, etc.]; but the heavenly
things themselves with better sacrifices
than these;" viz., the precious blood of,
Christ and Christ is entered " into heaven
itself, now to appear in the presence of
God for us."— Hela 9: 11- 2.6. Re came
to this earth once, and while here he
conquered the world ( Jno. 16: 33; Gal.
1: 4), and the flesh. Rom. 8: 3. Re
did not yield - to the appetites of the flesh.
( Luke 4: 2- 4), and the devil. Heb. 2: 14-
16; Rev. 12: 7- 11. He trium phed over
all principalities and powers. Col. 2: 15;
Eph. 1: 17- 21. " W herefore he is able
Mee to save them to the uttermost that
come to God by / aim, seeing he ever liv-eth
to make intercession for them."—
, Reh. 7: 25- 27. And in that he bath
conquered the world, the flesh, and the
devil; yea, he triumphed over every foe
and enemy, and is set down at the right
hand of God, reigning tiiiumphant, he
will also save as from every enemy, and
likewise cause us always to tiiamph if
we'trust and- obey him.
The very height of perfection is found
in him, his life was holy, harmless, un-defiled,
and he sahirifi3ed himself in giv-ing
this life for us in order that this of deceit • was sweet while they were eat-same
life might be imparted to us. Mg it have found it did turn to gravel,
" Except a corn of wheat fall let) the and every one knows gravel is not a very
• ground and die, it abidedh alone: but if pleasant thing in the mouth; bat if any
it die, it bringeth : forth much fruit."— such should read these lines, let me say.
Jno. 12: 24. This is a metaphor, teach-ing
us the result of the death of Christ,
the likeness of a grain of wheat dying
and bringing forth fruit, or multiplying
itself in the death process. So Christ by
his death will - bring forth the same life
in us that he gave up on the cross for us,
multiplying himself or his life, if we re-ceive
and appropriate his death as we
ought to. - That is why we have the
promises - ( Jno. 14: 19 and 12, and the
statements of the apostles- 2 Cor. 4: 10;
Curl. 2: 20; Jno. 4: 17; also Ps. 85: 14
We have a ri ght to put his blood up
against every sin, weakness, and imper-fection
that the devil through the fall You will not be asked what religious

devil himself; for we overcome him De
the blood. There is power and virtue
in his blood to sanctify, purify, cleanse,
and purge our soul, spirit, mind, con-science,
and body from all the work of
sin and the devil, and the blood will
imam us clean from it, being sprinkled
upon us ( Heb. 12: 21), and it will enable

to all his will. Heb. 9: 14; 1. Pet.
We are invited to come boldly to his
throne. Ileb. 4: 15, 16. Every evil
thing is subject to the blood, and it has
power to restore and bring to perfection.
" And having an high priest over the
house of God, let us draw near with a
true heart in full assurance of faith,
having• our hearts Sprinkled from an evil
conscience, and our bodies washed with
pure water, and let us hold fast the pro-fession
of our faith without wavering;
for he is faithful that promised."— Heb.
10: 21- 23. And this also God wishes,
" even your perfection."
DECEPTION.
33Y TIANNAH CR/ TES.
` 4 READ of deceit is sweet to a man;
but afterwards his month shall be
filled with gravel."— Prov. 20: 17. We
now copie to another point on the sub-ject
of deception. The world is so full
of it that we can hardly refrain from
speaking of it, and surely the words of
the wise man are fulfilled every day.
Oh, how much deception is practiced in
commerce. " lt is naught, it is naught,
saith the buyer: but when he is gone his
way, then he boasteth." How is it, my
friend, when you wish to buy anything?
do you pretend it is not worth as much
as you know it really is, in order to get
it cheaper; and then if the individual lets
you have it at your price, do you boast
how you made him believe it was
worth but little, and how cheap you got
it thereby, especially if he was a poor
man and you thought he had to sell?
Did you grind the face of the poor? If
so, God will reward you. " An inheri-tance
may be gotten hastily at the be-ginning,
but the end thereof shall not be
blessed."— Prov. 20: 21.
- We see the merchant trying to palm
off broken or cracked jars and dishes;
overrunning weight and measure when
he buys, and skimping when he sells.
What a time some of these people will
have when they come to repent and ge .
ready for that long eternity! " 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 robbed, walk in the statutes
of life, without committing iniquity, he
shall surely live, he shall not die. None
of his sins that he hath committed shall
be mentioned unto him: he hath done
that which is lawful and right; he shall
surely live."— Eeek. 33: 14- 16.
It is much better to do a straight busi-ness
as we go. It will not be half so
hard as to have to begin to straighten
up the crooked work done in the past.
No doubt some who thought- the bread
too late, to begin. Satan hits- many
snares laid to catch the unwary. In 1
Tim. 6: 10 we read: " For the love of
money is the root of all evil, which
while some coveted after they have erred
from the faith, and pierced themselves
through with many sorrows." Satan
says to the taxpayer when the assessor
comes around, " Hold back part of your
taxable property; it will save you a few
cents."
Deception! yes; Satan would have you
sell your soul very cheap. We see some
at the counter: tke clerk makes a mistake
in their favor; thy see it, but say noth-ing.
Satan says, " If he does not see it,
you keep still; it will be that much
more in your pocket." Yes, my dear
soul, if the clerk did not see the mistake
and you did, God sees and knows all and
he said, " As ye would that others do to
you do ye even so to them." If that
money was due you, would you— could
you honestly— say you would rather they
had kept still and not told you? Let us
judge ourselves; for if we put the tri-square
of God's word on our heart and
life and judge ourselves we shall not be
judged. God's word is our judge. " He
that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my
words, bath one that judgeth him: the
word that I have spoken, the sane shall
judge him, in the last day."— Jno. 12: 4S..
To correct these mistakes is one way
to let your light shine for the right, and
no one can be a Christian and do other-wise.
May the Lord help us all to see
' we are doing business for eternity, and
knowing the business hour is fast draw-ing
to a close, let us see that the book
accounts are all square, as God keeps the
record and he will reward.
Where Will You Spend ' Eternity?
destiny depends altogether on, how you
live in this world. If your life is spent for
God and his- gospel while here upon
earth, after death your soul is transported
to eternal bliss; but if it is spent in sin
and disobedience to the truth, you are
condemned to eternal misery and woe.
Jesus says, " Ye . . . shall die in your
sins: whither I go, ye can not come."
— Jno. 8 : 21.
Where will you spend eternity? You
must decide, or death will decide for
you. No doubt there have been times
during your sinful life that you have
heard the wooing of the Spirit, invit-ing
your perishing soul to come " and
take of the water of life freely," and you
have been almost ready to decide, and
drink of the ever- flowing stream, when
the enemy of your soul would suggest
that you wait until some other time to
decide; your friends will be no more
friends of tours when you decide for
Christ. But, fainting soul, it is not for
your good that he makes you believe
this; he seeks only to devour you by telling
you these things. Therefore, heed not
the voice. Your worldly friends can
never save your soul from sin and
eternal ruin.
Jesus stands ready to save, with the
extended invitation, " Come unto me, all
ye that labor and are heavy laden, and
I will give you rest."— Matt. 11: 28.
" Come now, and let us reason together
. . . though your sins be as scarlet, they
shall be as white as snow; though they
be red like crimson, they shall be as
w- ool."— Isa. 1: 18. " Behold, I stand
at the door, and knock: if any man hear
my voice, and open the door, I will come
in to him, and will . sup with him, and he
with me,"— Rev. 3: 20. To hear his
voice is to hear his Word. Then N hy
not accept the invitation now, and _ lee
from the wrath to come, and escape
your awful doom? " Behold, now is the
accepted time; behold, now is the day
of salvation."- 2 Cor. 6: 2. " To- day
if you will hear his voice, harden tot
your hearts. "— Hub. 3: 15. “ flow shall
we escape, if ye neglect so great salva-tion?"
Again we, ask, Where will you
spend eternity?
Suffer Wrong.
•
33Y WM. W. FITZWATER.
n SIN N ER, there are two eternal
•-/ " places— heaven and hell. Where will
you spend eternity? Have you considered
this important question? It concerns
you more than everything else put to-gether.
Oh, think of it! The - word says,
" The wicked shall be turned into hell,
and all the nations that forget God."
( Ps. 9: 17), " where their worm dieth not,
and the fire is not quenched."--- Mark 9:
46. Sinner, you are in a miserable, then-gerons
condition, ," having no hope, and
without God in the world." And it is
only by the goodness and long- suffering
of God that you live, and move, and have
your being. If God were to withdraw
his dear arm of mercy, and snap the
brittle thread . of your life, your soul
would land in eternal help but God is
" not willing that any should perish, bat
that all should come to repentance."
Then why not repent and obey the
gospel, that you may " escape the dam-nation
of hell''? " When the Lord Jesus
shall be revealed from heaven with his
mighty angels, in flaming fire taking
vengeance on them that know not God,
You had better begin to straighten up and that obey not the gospel of our Lord
your life and prepare for the coming of Jesus Christ: who shall be punished with
the Lord. You have no assurance of ieverlasting destruction from the presence
your life, wad when God sends the pale of the Lord, and from the glory of his
horse and his rider after you, you must I power."- 2 Thess. 1: 7- 9.

BY M. ELLA SAIN.
H ISTORY repeats itself. We find Sa-tan
causing division among the Cor-inthian
brethren just as he does to- day.
We find some of them carrying their
differences to the - world to settle. Paul
censures them for this, saying, " Dare
any of / you, having a matter against an-other,
go to law before th; unjust [ out-siders],
and not before the saints?"- 1
Cor. 6: 1. Then he tells them it is their
mission to judge - the world and angels.
If the world were to be judged by them,
then why were they unworthy— unfitted
— to judge differences between the breth-ren?
" Know ye not that we [ God's
people] shall judge angels [ false messen-gers]
how much more then things [ tem-poral
troubles] that pertain to this life?"
0, brethren, what a lesson there is in
this one verse. Then in yer. 4, which
has been a puzzle to some, we get the
key from a literal translation, and it
should read like this:
" If then ye have judgments [ as he just
said] as to things pertaining to this life,
should you set them to judge [ the unjust
of vet. 1] who are least esteemed in [ or
by] the church?" " I speak to your
shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise
man among you [ one with true discern
ment and the gift of government- 1 Cor.
12: 28]? no, not one that shall be able to
judge[ set matters right] between his
brethren?"
Then Paul shows that if troubles can
not be settled by the saints, one shoul I
suffer the wrozg and be defrauded, tell-ing
them that they that do wrong and
defraud shall not inherit the kingdom
of God. So if differences can not be
settled for the lack of wisdom, it is a
privilege God's children have to leave it
quietly in his dear hands; for Christ
says, ' Will not God avenge his elect
that cry unto him day and night?"

" VIEWS" OF THE BIBLE DOCTRINE.
The experience of salvation brings an.
internal evidence of the truth about itself,
so that we may not be deceived. By
the professing masses the Bible is held
to be a book of no definite meaning.
The expressions: " your views," " my
views," etc. betray the sad fact that
such is true. People are so accustomed
to an indefiniteness of understanding
. that when we present the Bible truths to
them they regard it lightly and make
reference to them as " your views."
Despite the fact that this is a Christian
nation ( professing the Christian religion)
the devil has quite succeeded in keeping
the truth from the people on the account
of divisions alone. The fact that divi-sions
exist gives the people liberty to say,
" our views," " your views," or refer to
the doctine, as, " the way you people un-derstand
it," etc. The truth is, when
people give credit to such expressions,
they do not understand at all. Oh, the
awful curse of division! Why can not
people understand that the doctrine of
the Bible is definite, that it is whole,
entire, and that it clings together!
So many professors seem to be indiffer-ent
to the fact that God deals with what
is termed the heart, or the soul, or the
inner man, our intellect simply compris-ing
the God- given faculties through
which we acquire light and truth. The
intellectual part of man is necessary, but
if a man undertakes to know the truth
merely by the mind or intellectual facul-ties
and does not let it control the heart
from the start, that man is apt to come
to some wrong conclusion; and he is just
as apt to be different from some one else
in his conclusions as he is to be like that
person in his views. Each thinks he is
right because his own reflections cause
him to think so. That is just the way
with every creed devotee on earth; they
all think they are right because their
own reflections lead them to those con
elusions. Be it known that God intends
that his truths shall penetrate deeper
than the mind. He imparts instruction
through the mind, of course, but he also
speaks to the hearta To control the

REPORT OF THE GRAND JUNCTION CAMP-MEETING.
Bangor, Mich., July 2.
This meeting is one long to be remem-bered
because of its sweetness, power,
and thoroughness. There were about
thirty preachers present. The Lord
enabled them to put forth the Word in
power and simplicity. Many were con-verted
and many sanctified. Quite a
number were healed. The Lord did
wonderfully magnify his precious name.
Many declared it the best meeting they
ever attended. A. B. Palmer.
TO THE CHURCH.
Bangor, Mich., July 2.
After prayerfully and carefully exam-ining
the character, and proceedings of
Geo. Filhour and wife in the evangelistic
work for the last two or more years it be-comes
my painful duty to shy to the
church everywhere that it would not be
best to receive them as preachers - until
they prove themselves worthy of the
confidence of the people where they have'
labored in the past. Let us all pray
that God may show them the necessity
of making wrongs right. We acknowl-edge
his usefulness in the early part of
his ministry. God did use them in the
salvation of many souls. May God
humble them and again get them into
line where he can use them to his glory,
is our prayer. Amen.
A. B. Palmer.
An Exhortation.
words ancLaCts` of kindness. A life of
this kimilwhich is the life of Christ in
us) will< and prove to the world
greater Wags than years of preaching
can withoat ' the life of Christ lived be-fore
the people. Oh, that God would
give us lunch holy wisdom, to walk in
all meekness and humility before him.
Truly there are great depths in the
love of God to be attained in this life.
Surely the church has not been moving
up to her privileges in the gospel. We
have been held back by shorelines, in-stead
of letting go, and losing sight of
and forever forgetting the things that are
seen; but pressing forward to the things
not seen, - which are eternal. 2 Cor. 4: 18.
Many have been looking after the sweet
joys, which are precious ( but have not
reached them), instead of the real holy
God- life which actuates the whole being
by love— holy love that subdues the
hardest heart and melts it into tears.
The apostle Paul tells us to " consider
the Apostle and High Priest of our pro-fession,
Christ Tesus."— Heb. 2: 1. Con-sider
him.
First, his love; do we love as he loved?
If we do not, we need not be discour-aged.
God surely oan do as much for
us as he did for the church in the rcorn-ing
light. We should seek, and cease
not till we measure up to our privilege.
Second, his compassion for the lost.
He wept over Jerusalem, as he beheld
them in their blind condition. Do we
weep when. we see souls that are lost—
praying for them in tears, pleading to
God in their behalf. Surely Jesus sor-rowed
even unto death for us. Also he
had great compassion for the erring ones.
The Lord help us likewise to feel deeply
for them. If we convert him from the
error of his ways, we shall be the means
in the hands of God of his salvation, and
perhaps save him from committing many
sins. Also he had compassion for the-sick
and afflicted. " His fame went
throughout all Syria: and they brought
unto him all sick people that were taken
with divers diseases and torments, and
those which were possessed with devils,
and those which were lunatic, and those
that had the palsy; and he healed
them."— Matt. 4: 24. Praise the Lord!
he is the same to- day.
His conversation. It is recorded of
him that never man spake as this man.
He spake and the sea obeyed him. Dev-ils
feared and trembled, and the raging
mob retreated. Yet every word was full
of love, and such tenderness of voice.
Those officers could not take him. Only
the heart of those hypocritical, proud
priests and Pharisees could resist his
words. No time for lightness. His mis-sion
was a great one. Sound speech
which can not be condemned, edifying
the hearer. The fruits of tha Spirit are
in all love; goodness, and gentleness,
easily entreated, not stubborn, self-willed,
heady ' or high- minded, but conde-scending
to men of low estate. The
words of Christ were full of comfort to
the sad and weary.
Dearly beloved, do we measure up to
the pattern? If not, do not be discour-aged,
but " bring ye all the tithes into
the storehouse, that there may be meat in
mine house, and prove me now herewith,
saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open
you the windows of heaven, and pour
you out a blessing, that there shall not
be room enough to receive it."— Mal. 3:
10. If we do our part, God will do his.
But remember there must be meat in his
house. It takes all the tithes; then
there will be meat in abundance in God's
house, the church."- 1 Tim. 3: 15. Let
us make Christ and his word our daily
study and practice. By so doing our
life will become full of activity and
power. All formality will pass away.
It will , become an Eden; yea, a heaven
on earth. ' Instead of being formal and
dead, we will have life, activity, power,
and glory. There must be a moving up.
God will have a pure, holy church, full
f life and glory. These are sifting-

other, his heart's convictions, and there-fore
he is accountable before God. Oh,
the deceived that will help to make up
the number that shall go away into ever-lasting
punishment!
- We will append a few scriptures. " If
any man will do his [ God's] will, he shall
know of the doctrine, whether it be of
God," etc.— Jno. 7: 17. " And hereby
we do know that we know him, if we
keep his commandments."- 1 Jno. 2: 3.
" With the heart man believeth unto
righteousness" ( Rom. 10: 10), and there-fore
" He that believeth on the Son of
God hath the witness in himself."- 1
Jno. 5: 10. Therefore it can be said,
" We know that the Son of God is come,
and bath given us an understanding,"
and " we know that we are of • God, and
the ' whole world lieth in wickedness."
— 1 Jno. 5: 19,
If every person would keep the heart
in perfect conformity to the dictation of
the Spirit of God, divisions would be im-possible,
and all would believe and speak
the same thing, and the expressions,
" my views," " your views," etc. would
be unknown.

AY the dear Lord bless the- saints
with a deep spiritual discernment
of all their needs of soul, for real spirit-ual
advancement. There is such a need of
the real Christ- life of faith and purity,
which gives us power with God and our
fellow beings— a life of sweetness and
gentleness, all our pathway strewn with I o
times. God is siftin g the remnant al.,„
ready gathered; and if we do not measurgo
up, God will drop us out altogether,,
No time for trifling. Then let us

opinions of men, and everything that
opposed to godliness, till not one graiii:
of sand remains between your soul ane
God. Then your feet may press the sole
rock.
Heckton, July 3.
After laboring in company with Bro.
S. L. Speck during the winter, I came
home in the spring and labored some
with my hands in putting out a few
acres of corn, oats, and potatoes, at the
same time holding meetings over Sun-days
in new places around home, which
has resulted in a few. souls getting out
for God. At Locke ( which is about nine
miles from our home) there are about
six or eight souls that the Lord has
gathered out and established in the one
body, and they are holding regular meet-ings
Tuesday nights. Also at Bremen,
which is about nine miles from our home,
we have been holding regular meetings
for some time with good interest, and i.
the people are anxious for a series of
meetings to be held there, which we'f
hope to be able to do ere long.
June S I went to Decatur, Mich. to
assist in the grove- meeting there. This
meeting resulted in the salvation of two-souls,
and the wile of a Free Methodist

the devil will get souls into that forsake
the Lord. it was the largest funeral I
ever attended. There were over two
hundred teams. Only about one- third of
the people could get in the large meeting-house.
They paid very good attention
to the word.
I then went to the Lapaz grove- meet-ing,
which was to begi n June 22, but
because of the sickness triad death of Bro.
J. Rittenhouse the meeting did not begin
until Sunday morning, the 24th. This
meeting was quite well attended and was
a blessing to all our souls, and a real
benefit to the church in that place.
Conviction was upon the people. Some
wept and raised their hands for prayers,
but did not pay the price; therefore
did not get saved. About thirty
took part in the ordinance- service.
workets present were Bro. W. A. David-son
and wife, Sister L. Kaser, and the
last few days of the meeting we were
made to rejoice by the coming of Bro.

I am praising the dear Lord for the
light of the gospel. It showed me my
condition and I went to the Lord and
got clean; so I can say that I am washed
and cleansed in Jesus' blood.' My heart
is filled with praises. I am just glad
because the Lord has delivered me nom
all sin and sectism. I was a P, B. Bap-tist
nine years, but I can say to- day that
I belong to the church of God and not a
sect. Glory to God for saving grace
that saves from sin. I am also praising
the Lord for his healing power that heals
both soul and body, In 1899 for about
four months I had a cold and suffered
intensely. After meeting the conditions
of the word of God I was healed.

About seven years ago wife and 1
joined the M. E. sect and lived in the

on the church, as we had not
heard the church preached on as we
wished to before last fall when Bro.
W. 0. Williams came to our place and
preached on that subject and made it
plain to me that that was not the church
of God, and the Lord- opened our eyes
and led us out into this blessed evening
light, and his blood has made us every
whit whole. Praise his holy name for-ever!
We expect to have Bro. W. 0.

the Lord wills. - We need some Holy

work. Pray that we may keep bumble.

I am praising God for full and free
salvation that saves me from all sin and
gives me perfect peace in my soul. It
has been about three years since the
Lord wonderfully saved my soul and
brought me out of sectarianism. I am
truly glad the truth reached me before
too late. I belonged to the Baptist sect,
but when: the truth was preached here I
began to see that I had only an empty
profession, and that it would take a real
experience of salvation to get to heaven.
We are expecting a glorious meeting at
Potash in August and would be glad to
have as many come as can. Would be
glad if some workers would come now
and stay till after the camp- meeting.

We are glad we can report victory in
our souls over sin and all evil spirits
around us. Glory be to God! We are
saved just now by two works of grace,
and are determined to fight the good
fight of faith. Praise our God! We
have been permitted to pass through
deep waters of late, but have not been
forsaken. Jesus has been our strength
and help. Truly he is a friend that
sticketh closer than a brother, and we
know these trials and all things do work
for our good, because we love God. - We
do not think it strange concerning these
fiery trials, but rejoice and praise God
for the precious lessons he is teaching us.
Now, dear ones, pray that we may be
true to God and precious souls.

I have been saved five years this
month, and I am still praising God for
salvation. I do love to serve the Lord
and trust in his keeping power. I have
been very sick many times, and would
call on the Lord and he would heal me.
Oh, do ever praise him for his good-ness.
I am in a very weak and run- down
condition now, and do earnestly ask an
earnest interest in all your prayers, that
the Lord will restore me to full health and
strength if it be his will, and if not,
pray that he may give me patience to
bear all my afflictions. I have kidney
trouble very bad. I am able to be up

I can. truly praise the dear Lord for
his wonderful love to me, and that he
has saved my soul, and brought me out
of darkness into this blessed evening
light. I can. testify that I enjoy myself
much more in living for Jesus than living
for the world. Praise the dear Lord! I
will tell how God healed me of a sore
hand. My left hand broke out in little
sores, and soon it was all covered with
sores so that I could not use it. . We
sent to the Trumpet Office for an anoint-ed
handkerchief, and applied it in Jesus'
name; and now the sores are all gone
and my hand is well. Although the
devil was arrayed against me and tried
to deceive me in many ways, I can praise
God for victory over the powers of the
enemy. Truly it pays to put our trust
in the Lord. Pray that I may be kept
humble and true to God.

Braidentown, Fla.
I praise God that he has saved my soul
and sanctified my nature through a sec-ond
definite work of grace. I am praising
God for the glorious liberty which we
have in Christ Jesus, and for. the peace
and joy which is flowing deep in my
soul. About the last week in August,
180 I was taken with the typhoid
fever. I was so nervous at times that
I could hardly bear to have any one
come into the room, but I found the
Lord was sufficient and I could bear all
things in his name. Praise his holy
name! Bro. Geo. L. Cole and Sister
Nettie Henderson were called for, and it,
was a great battle in fighting the devil,
who was conquered. A fter being sick
for about four weeks 1 was told that I
looked like a living skeleton and ought to
have a doctor— that I was near death's
door— but the dear Lord did wonderfully
raise me up, for which I give him all the
praise. And now I praise God for
health and strength. Pray that I may
be kept at the feet of - Jesus doing his
whole will. Any minister filled with the
spirit that is led of the Lord to come
here and open up the work will be wel-comed
and cared for. Lee E. Parker.
Dockery, Mo.
Wile and I were Baptists for many
years. Last November dear Bro.
Backus came to this place and held forth
the pure gospel and Jesus says, " My
sheep hear my voice." So we escaped
the awful doom that awaits those in
sectish night. Oh, halleluiah to God
and the Lamb forever! We then lived
up to all the light we had, but when a
heavenly gleam pervaded our very being,
how much different. Oh, we do praise
God! I eras a Baptist deacon, but I
now feel I am one with all of God's
children. Moreover, we thought that
we could not live free from sin, but, oh,
how different when we were enabled to
see the pure light, since which time we
have many tracts . and books and the
Trumpet, which is a welcome visitor
to our home. To- day our hearts tri
umphantly exclaim, " The Lord is my
shepherd; I shall not want." Others
have escaped sectism also. So the dear
Lord has raised up a little church here,
for which we do praise God. We ex
pea Bro. Backus here with his tent the
last of July or the middle _ of August.
Any saints coming this way, please stop

invited. M. L. and Mollie Harris.

I praise God to- day for salvation that
Saves from all sin, and he sanctifies me
with- a second work of grace. Praise
- God forever! He keeps me saved from
all the sins of this wicked world. We
have- been taking God for our physician
for about six years. We find he is faith-ful
that has promised, and what he has
promises he is able also to perform.
Thank God! He healed our baby of
something like the grippe, and , has heal-ed
me and my family many times of
different diseases. Truly it is like the
Psalmist said, he forgiveth all our in-iquity,
and healeth all our diseases. I do
love God and all of God's people. I
love to read the testimonies of God's
little ones. I feel that I am the least of
all saints, but thank God for what he has
done and is still doing for me and my
family. I truly know that the old man
is crucified and that henceforth I shall
not serve sin. Pray earnestly for me,
dear brothers - and sisters, and pray for
my husband that we may live pleasing to
God, and obey him in all things.
Mattie Nelson.
Spokane, Wash.
I do praise God this morning for sal-vation,
for his blessed word, and for his
loving- kindness and mercy; for I once
was a poor lost, ruined, undone, helpless
sinner without hope and without God in
this world or the world to come, unwor-thy
to ask God for mercy or help.
Finelly I resolved that if I did go to hell
I would go there praying and pleading
for mercy and acknowledging my sins.
But, blessed be Godl he heard niy cry
and came and took my load of guilt
away and told me to arise and shout and
praise God and tell sinners what a grand
and glorious reality there is in the reli-gion
of Jesus, and never to doubt it as I
had done. That was about thirty- five
years ago. Praise God! He is just as
near and dear to me this morning as
ever; yes, more dear than ever before,
because I know of realize much better
what wonderful things he has done and
is still doing for me. Glory be to his
name! Not only for me, but for all who
will come to him with a contrite and, a
broken heart. I desire to have no will
of my own,' only to do his blessed will.
May God help all his little ones not to
theorize any part of the blessed Word
away, but to understand the meaning
thereof and to walk accordingly. Praise
God for his saving and keeping and heal-ing
power, which he is manifesting to his
true followers even in these days.
Amen. J. M. Ricky.
Bagley, ' Minn.
I promised the dear Lord I would tes-tify
to his goodness and healing power.
Last Sunday night I was awakened as if
some one had spoken to me, " Your baby
has the croup." I jumped, as the baby
was breathing so hard, and got hold of
her. I knelt down and asked God to
heal her, and after committing her to
the Lord I went to bed with such peace
in my soul, and soon she was breathing
easier. The next day she grew worse
again. I then went to our heavenly
Father in secret prayer and poured out
my want to him who sees and hears in
secret. Then came the assurance that
my baby was healed. I went to the bed
and looked at her as she slept, and she
was covered with sweat. In a short
time she was all over her cold. Oh, how
I praised God! Be has been so much to
me, as I am alone here on our claim
with my three little children, and over
a mile to the nearest neighbor, but if
anything happens I can just go to Jesus
and he makes all things right. Bless his
precious name forever.
Last winter while washing as I went
to empty some water out of a tub I slip-ped
and sat down, hurting my spine so
that thereafter when I sat down I could
hardly get up. No one but Jesus
knows what I suffered. I kept praying
and pleading with God to make me well.
At night when we would have worship,
after asking God to make me well our
little boy three years old would say,
" Mamma, Jesus will make your back
well;" but in the morning I would be
in pain just the same. He would say
again, " Mamma, didn't Jesus make your
back well?" I would tell kim I knew
Jesus would, and praise the Lord! he
did.
Our little boy was healed of earache
and our little girl was healed of piles last
fall, after complying to his word accord-ing
to Jas. 5: 14, and of worms, after
the prayer of faith was offered. Oh!
he is our all and in all. I have an
affliction on my right eye which I have
had over two years. I was anointed and
prayed for last summer. It all went
away, but afterwards it came back again
worse than ever before. I was anointed
and prayed for again and it became some
better, but not well. I found that the
Lord had several lessons for me to learn.
I thanked God for the lessons and my
eye has been getting better, though very
slow. I have committed all to the Lord
and let him have his way; for I am his
and he is mine. I found the devil was
always lurking to get a hold, but we
must stand fast to Jesus and rebuke him
in Jesus' name, and I find the Lord ever
ready to drive him away.

Typhoid Pneumonia.
- We are praising God for a full and
tree salvation, deliverance of soul and
body. It has been some time since we
have been out in the work, but we have
tot been idle in this country in giving
out tracts. We expect to get out in the
work soon; if the Lord is willing. Now
since we have been here the enemy has
given us many trials. Persecution has
been great, but, glory to God! we can
shout through it all. " We have much
sickness in this country. Wife and I
have been sick once or twice; we trusted
it in the hand of the Lord and he healed
us at once, and in giving out tracts the
people asked us if we did as we preach.
We told them yes. Our baby took sick
with the typhoid pneumonia. The , peo-ple
said if we did not get a doctor for
her she would die. She was so sink she
would not pay us any attention. We
prayed for her and it seemed that she
got worse. I wanted to send to the
Trumpet Office for prayer for her. The
devil told me she would die before they
would get the letter. So we proved the
Lord and rebuked the fever in Jesus'
name, and it left her at once. After
that she suffered about five days with
pains in her breast. W e agreed in
prayer for her and the Lord healed her
of that. After that the devil afflicted
her all over her body. We felt that the
Lord wanted to have his way in it. We
got willing to give her up, then the
Lord healed her every whit. Glory to
his name! He is just the same to- day.
Pray that we will do our duty in every-thing.
We have taken the Lord for our
physician. E. W. and Ida B. Spence.

Healed of Congestion.
To the glory of God, I wish to tell
what great things he has done for me.

redeemed of the Lord say so." Yes,
I do praise him for redemption. Cod
healed me of a very bad case of conges-tion
of the lungs. In the fore part of
April 1 was taken very bad with cough-ing
and pain in the lungs— so bad that I
was out of my head at times. A doctor
who is an agnostic and whom I had told
that if I got sick I would not take any
medicine came in to see me. Re said he
had heard that I was very sick, and he
thought he would come in and see me.
He said he did not come to doctor me,
butejust to see how I was. He asked me
to let him examine me, which I did. He
said that I was very bad with congestion
of both lungs, and told my wife some
simple outward applications, knowing
that. I would not take any medicine;
but even. these were never applied. We
just complied with the W ord in. Jas.
5: 14, 15, and sent for Bro. George Cole.
He came eighty- five miles from Chicago
to . Sheldon, where I then lived, and,
praise God! when he anointed me there
were several present who were seetari-au.

believe in the healing unless he could see
Prevailing Prayer.
• BY JENNIE M. BYERS.
WE little realize what mighty things
Y4 can be accomplished through
prayer. We look at some of the rich
gifts and graces and wish for them, but
little realize the power within our reach,
through prayer to God. In order to
pray the prayer of faith, that moves
God, we must be fully yielded to God in
all things, ready to do his perfect will,
or in other words our will must be whol-ly
lost in his will, so that our whole aim
and desire is to do his will. We can
know if our hearts cry out—" I delight
to do thy will, 0 God." We know too
if we would just a little rather have our
own way and will. Selfish prayer will
not move the heart of God. When our
whole lives are yielded to him, then the
Holy Spirit can pray through us; for it
is he that indites our prayers. He
knows what is the mind of God, and he
puts the desires in our hearts according
to the will of God, and we just yield to
him, and he preys through us. In this
way he uses us as channels through
which he can convey his messages to his
needy ones who are at the throne of
grace, asking some favor or blessing.
We see by this process how necessary
it is that the channels be empty and
clean, in order, that his perfect will and
message may be conveyed to his children
free from all contamination of self or
selfish motives. We see God works
through human instrumentality, and " ye
that bear the vessels of the Lord must be
clean.° There is so much to be done
everwhere and so few trusty vessels; so
many are inclined to crack or leak just
at the most needy time. This is why we
are to" ken through the fire, that we may
be hard and ready to stand any test and
trial that we may have to pass through.
How blessed that God himself prepares
us for every good word and work.
We see when God was about ready to
build the beautiful temple, how he put
the desire in David's heart and he just
prayed out what God put in. He was not
displeased at God either when God told.
him he could not build the house then,
but that his son should build it. God told
David it was well he had it in his heart
to build it. In my own. mind. I feel that
David built the temple. He had it in his
heart to do it and God just put it down
to his credit. Indeed David had the
temple builded— by faith. He saw it a
beautiful, grand structure, even before
his death.
I W e see in the early church what was
accomplished by prayer. While the
brethren and sisters were praying and
supplicating the throne, the. Holy Ghost
came on them and filled them all and
fitted them for the work God had for
them to do. Then we see them go forth
in power and authority, but still continu-ing
to pray. We see some of them so
called to the ministry of prayer that they
told their brethren to serve the tables,
while they gave themselves: continually
to the ministry of prayer and the word.
No wonder such mighty things' were
done by these hoil,.. i) raying men and
women who were so given up to -
the
Lord that he cpuld reveal himseleto
them and Work-:** and through them -: to
will and to do Oflila good pleasure, . 1% ■ lo

done c4aiy w. re would give ourselves
more fe* aye* and less to the contain-dnating
thingsg this world. We always
can tell a praying man when we meet
him. Some way you feel he has been in
the , ce- ol God. Not only did the
apostiesVv* thernselves to prayer, but it
appears the w- ode church knew how to
prevail witg -- God. We see Paul stoned
death..* ft was thbhght, but his breth-ien
were there and what is recorded
next? " He rose up.' 5
We next see another servant in prison)
put there for preaching the gospel, _ and
to please the wicked Jews. But what
else do we see? We see a room full of
men and women, praying " without ceas-ing."
" But prayer was made without
ceasing, of the cntirch unto God for
Here prayer broke the prison
chains and bars, it opened the gates. It
defied all rule and authority and power.
What though the king did use extra
precaution and care, the prayer of faith
overpowered all. Here we see interces-sory
prayer. Peter had. committed him-self
to God, " whose he was and whom
he served." Yes; he could afford to he
in prison if God could afford to have him
there. It was all the same to him. He
did not rebel nor worry.. Yes; he
could sleep, even though he was bound
with two chains and sleeping between
two soldiers and the prison securely
guarded and kept. We see how vain is
the power of man. God could waken
Peter, and take him out, even through
the first and second ward. The great
iron gate had to obey the command of
tiod and open even of itself. No doubt
this holy man of God had to exclaim:
" Surely this is the finger of God."
We see another similar instance when
Paul and Silas were thrust into prison
and their feet made fast in the stocks.
What condition do we find them in?
Crying and mourning and lamenting and
finding fault? No; the record says they
" prayed and sang praises unto God."
Yes; and the prisoners heard them.
They must have been glorying in tribu-lation,
and " counting it all joy," that
they were counted worthy to suffer shame
for Christ's sake. In this case prayer
shook the earth and loosened the prison
doors, and loosened every band and chain.
It defied every power and skill of man;
even the bold and defiant keeper of the
prison was weak and frightened, and
cried out, " Sirs, what must I do to be
saved?" Yes; he too saw that it was
the mighty hand of God. The record
does not say what the object of these
brethren's prayer was. Was it their
own deliverance or was it the conversion
of the prisoners and their persecutors
and enemies? Ah! I believe it was the
latter, and God saw their unselfish
prayers and saw lit not only to answer
their prayers for the wicked men, but
also to grant their deliverance. Putting
them in prison did not stop their work.
No; the throne was just as accessable as
ever, and they knew it, and the spirit
within them kept on working. God
wanted those prisoners converted, and
that is the way he took to do it. Was
not the greatest longing of the breth-ren's
hearts to see souls saved? What
matter was it then who or in what way
they should be saved?
How apt we are to make plans, then
pray accordingly. God knows where
the souls are that need help; he knows
too where the fallow ground is that can
be broken up, and he will lead us to that
very place if we will suffer ourselves to
be led. We see how the Spirit called
Paul into Macedonia when he was in-tending
to go to some other field. The
Spirit never makes a mistake; for he
knows what is the mind of the Father.
We see other instances where prayer
breaks the bands of death asunder and
sets the captive free; where it breaks the
chain of disease and sickness. Nothing
can break fever and sickness as prayer.
We read _ of John Welch, the Scotch
Covenanter, who prayed and waited en
God until a dead body was restored.

tal. See George Muller feeding those

city Jerusalem. His prayer took him to
the lion's den, but did it stop there?
Was he destroyed and his life and influ-ence

by passing through the den.
of lions what possibly could not have
been clone any other way. Was not the
king convinced who was the true and liv-ing

that in every dominion of my kingdom
men tremble and fear before the God of
Daniel; for he is the living God, and
stedfast forever. . . Ile delivereth and
rescueth. . . . Who hath delivered
Daniel from the power of the lions."
It is while at prayer that the Holy Spirit
can show us the work the Lord has for us
to do. Listen what the Holy Ghost said to
Barnabas and Paul while they were wait,
