get far ori the way we find that there are thorns nearly
every step of the way. A soul that determines to -walk
with its Lord will have alf the world against it-it hates
our Lord, it hates His followers; so, my brother, start
out with an ir1telligent knowleqge pCwhat your attitude
will be toward the world. If you walk with Him, you
will be led as He was, and as Frances Ridley Havergal
has so beautifully said: "Never once was He gently led.
He was led into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
He was led by men filled with. wrath to the brow of the
hill , that they might cast Him down headlong. He was
led away to Amias; le.d away to Caiaphas; led into the
council Of the elders and chief priests and scribes; led to
Pontius Pilate and the hall of judiroent. A.nd then
He, our Lord Jesus Christ, was led as a sheep to the

The. Sense of Sin.
"The decay of the sense of ' sin against God is one of
the most serious portents of these days: " Such: were the
words of conviction of Mr. Gladstone at the close of his
wonderful career. Such is the truth today. It would
seem that the professedly Christian nations were losing
this great essential to a reverential and humble life, and
. that God was putting it on peoples of the heathen
wqrld. when this sense of of sin against
a holy God is lost tOt the individual and to the Church,
there is lost also that sense of reverence and
which is so great a factor in tbeupbuilding of (.haracter.
When God raised up a people for Himself, He surrounded
Himself with such rest"rictions and commands as deeply
impressed the people with His holiness, majesty and glory .
And it is so today. As we see Goq 'in His holiness we get
a sight of and W,e mqre deeply our needs . .
What we today is a true sight of the awful, blasting,
blighting, abominable natur-e- of sin, so that we shall hate
it as God hates it, arid so intensify our determination to
rescue men from it. R. P.

PORTLAND, OREGON.
God is. still leading on 'to victory.
We are having real hard winter weath-
er, nine inches of snow and the ther-
mometer has been down about zero for
over a week. The. city has been threat-
ened with a water famine because of
the water pipes many build-
ings have been :flooded and great suf-
fering and hardships have prevailed in
many places because the people were
not prepared for such weather. At
VanGouver, Wash., a few miles from
here, they have had the coldest weather
in the history of the country . . We com-
mence our special meetings with Broth-
er Ruth Thwsday and ask an interest
in your prayers, that in spite of the ad-
verse circumstances we may have a
great time of salvation. We are at this
time straining every nerve to raise
enough mo;ney to get a church home.
We have two splendid propositions.
One is. 'to buy a lot in a central part
of the city and build a church on it.
The other one is a church and lot ''which
is fd'r sale, in a central location. Either
will give us just what we been
praying for and what we need, where .
we
1
will have a good commlinity to
work in and at the same t ime. near
enough to the business center to hold
our street meetings. We have to raise
$5,000 for either property and lack
about $4,000 to meet the 'payments, as
we are unable at this time to sell some
. of eur property. Owing to the bad
weather we only raised a little over
$200 'last Sunday,. but next Sunday 'we
expect to raise the other $800. About
forty of our members live outside of
the city and yet we are sure they want
to share in this blessed work, so kindly
ask the Lord how much He will allow
you to give, and sent it at once. If you
have not the money; send in your
pledge and pay it as soon as you ca'n.
Don't fail us at this time as it will
inean so much for the work here.

here for ten with Brother Elliott
from Bidwell street, Portland, as an
evangelist. We held a ten-day revival
and had Bible study and cottage prayer
meetings, where eight souls sought the
Lord for holiness and claimed the
blessing. Then there were backsliders
reclaimed and . converted, as most
every night some one was blessed at
the altar ; but Brother Elliott was
called to Mountain Home, Idaho, and

the night of January 7 . . Held a great
watch night service the night of the

vation came to a number of souls: Rev.
W. F. Dallas, .our hustling and. efficient
district superintendent, was with us
four days during the meeting and h eld
a holiday Holiness rally.. His ministry
was greatly blessed of God in the sal-
vation of many souls and in b.uilding
up the saints. About forty professed

condition. God is ble.ssing us on all

Will Huff, in the Frst Church of the
Nazarene, cfosed in a blaze of glory.
There were twenty persons at the altar
on Friday night, and some remarkable
cases of salvation. One poor fellow
came in and cried out to God in the
beginning of the service, that he might
,be delivere.d from the curse of rum.
About seventy persons have been at
the altar the first week. The tide is

BILLY SUNDAY'S .MEETINGS.
\Vhat . shall I say about the great
Billy Sunday, the baseball player evan-
gelist? How shall I begin? Who is
he like and what are his methods? _He
is like a number of great evangelists
I have heard and some I have read
about, and yet differ ent from them
all. He is a sort of composite combi-
nation of Sam Jones and D. L. Moody,
but original and forceful. He has his
own janitor, an assistant manager, a
ehoristcr, - a singer, and two _women
preachers, whom he takes along with
him and whose salaries he pays him-
sci f, largely out of his own pocket. He
has been since the 20th ult. and

Christ, including convi ction, r epent-
ance, faith, justification and regenera-
tion-heaven wit h its r ewards, and )lell
" ith its eternal punishments. At the

did not hear one word said by himthat

Church, Los Angeles; last year. The
people have given liberally towarq .the
expense of the meeting and Billj is an
adept at that part of the proceedings.
His one great characteristic is his faith..:
ful presentation of sin in its every
phase as applied to sinners, and driving
home of the truths that he preached,
to his audiences. No doubt the meet-
ing will be productive of .great good
and salvation will result. Let us pray
that the churches will follow on to
know the Lord collectively as well as
indivdually in entire sanctification so
that the Holy Ghost may be ponred
out upon them in tongues of fire and
much greater and permanent fruitage
result. Go!) bless Billy Sunday. He i!J

MID- WINTER CONVBNTJON, PUEBLO,
COLORADO.,
The annual mid-winter convention
and conference of the People's Mission
Church was held i1,1 Pueblo, Celo.,
cember 26th to January 4th. Pueblo
had been known as a hard shop spirit-
ually but God manifested His power
so that the natives were astonished.
...We never had a better meeting in the
Rocky Mountain country. Brother L.
Milton Williams was the evangelist in
charge, assisted by P eople's Mission
workers and others from different parts
of Colorado. We have known Brother
Williams very intimately for over
eighteen years but we never knew him
to preach so well as at this conven-
tion. God has. his band upon hi111;.and
fortlmate is the church that can secure
his services. Holiness is steadily gain-
ing ground in Colorado and the spirit
of r eal holy love and fellowship is
strong in the hearts the people re-
gardless of name or order, We extend
the hand of Christian love and fellow-
ship to the Pentecostal Church of the
Nazarene. We are with you in the holy
w.ar. We rej(),iee in and
sympathize with all your plans for the
furtherance of God ts cause. May God
make 1909 the best year in the spread
of scriptural holiness and the salvation
of lost souls so f11r in the history of
America. Wm. H. Lee,
Supt. People's Church.

THE ONE IDEA.
1'hm:e is no little complaint that we
arc;l people of one idea; that we ride a
ho).>by, etc. , ete. In some measure we
r catly to admit the charge. ThaJ
o11e great idea possesses us; . that we
have .a favorite ever r ecurring theme of
discourse, thought and effort , we gladly
concur as true. But that it occupies
our attention unduly, we do not for a
moment consent to. A_subject so vast,
so comprehensive, so all embracing as
the salvation of Jesus Christ wrought
out in the humnn soul to cleansing from
all sin:- and making it ltiminous .. by eli-.,.
vine indwelling, filling all the avenues
of the soul "ivith the perfect l ove of
God, thus transforming the being in
spiritual life and beauty, and filling the
. soul with heavenly ministries, is too
large to in any wa:v dwarf the life. It
has come -to pass in these clays that in
.the general t!hought of. men,. that h e
who is a 'man of one idea, is likely to
bring things to .,Pass, especially if.. it is
worthy ancl sufficient. Does any one

AT THE TABERNACLE
After the .morning "prayer m.eeting-.
which :Was .large and- triumphant-and
the Sabbath school, which was full of
brightness and hope, Dr. Bresee
preached to a large and appreciative
audience from St. Joh.n 5:6, "Wilt thou
be made whole?;' He read the environ-
ments of the impotent men at Beth-
esda and the Master's .conversation
with him, and announced 1ts his theme.
Christ in the b.roken gates ' of our civ- .
ilization. He. spoke of "the waters of
Shiloah . that go softly,'' which flowed
through this great pool, which
was 360 f eet long by 130 f eet. wide, by
which wer e five porche::;-hospitals,
once palaces of the . rich but now hos-
pitals for the poor and si ck-as ernble-
matical of the revelation of God in the
earth, flowing upon the f eet of the civ-
ilization of men. He spoke of the so-
cial, political, business and educational
and church life as being these five
porches, full o{ s ick and needy men
and women. He spoke of the angel's
troubling the wat er at certain tiines as
special means of grace-revivals-but
as not sufficient to meet the needs, but
that Christ Himself has come to do the
work.
.T\vo united with the church.
.The afternoon Holiness meet ing was
a season of gracious blessing and in-
spiratiqn to all. Brother Williams of
Colorado, who has lately arrived to
spend the winter here with his daugh-
ter, brought the message from the
\Vord. He first gave a few facts in his
own life of how God took him and
heal ed him, then called him to the min-
istry. After this stirring talk, how the
testimonials of God' s saving grace
poured in from hearts overflowing with
gratitude. It was a good hour spent in
the Divine presence.
The evangelistic service at 7 :30 was
in charge of Rev. J. W. Goodwin, the
. assistant pastor, who choe his text
Rom. 2 :6-11-16, and spoke on the com-
ing judgment. The various facts con-
nected with the judgment . scenes were
.taken up and awful'" condition of
the hopelessly lost was ur.ged as a rea-
son of r epentapce, as well as the good-
ness of God. As the altar service was
.called a seriousness fell upon the con-
gregation, and as the saints moved to
the front six different seekers came to
the altlnr, four as seekers for salvation
and two for sancti.fication. A greater
burden for the unsaved seems to be
coming upon the church, and the out-
look is goGd for a continuous t'ide of
salvation this

sibilities before us, which made us all
det ermined to seek higher ground than
we lwd ever yet taken. Brother :Mil-

brought the message from Eph .. 5 :1, 2,
8, and showed us how it wqs God's
order f or us to first be then do ; first
the life, then the walk; and how when
J esus ruled and r eigned in our h earts
that it was easy to be what He'd .havc

PASADENA, CAL.
One more day's work for J esus:
One l ess of life for me.
It was a most blessed day, especially
at t he morning and afternoon services.
On Sabbath night meetings are not so
eneouraging. Some of . our p eople are
infirm, and some live at a distance, so
that it is difficult for these to get all
the services. But others are what Glad-
stouc called '' oncers. '' Not all of our
peopl e are ''en during har<Jness .as good
soldi ers and not all are per-
fedly loyal in standing by our own
work. Pasadena seems to be quite a
place f or church visiting, which is en-
eomaged and fostered by some of the
churches "getting up things" to draw
such visitors. But we have a fai t hful
few who can always be depended on-
pmise the Lord! We are still consid-
ering "Pentecostal Fire" and ''The
G1nat Salvation."
The new "Question Drawer" meet-
ing, inaugurated last week, proved to
he of much interest, and a goodly com-
pany, of people gathered to consider
especially the subject of divine healing.
Next Friday at 2 :30 p. m. we will con-
sider some other questions pertaining
to this subject, such as differences be-
tween divine healing and mind healing,
Christian Science, etc. Other questions
of inter est to earnest Christians will be
considered in their 'turn.

JESUS CAME.
At the Christmas services at Comp-
ton Avenue Church, Los Angel es, a
beautiful incident occurre.d. The day
before Brother H-- was singing a
song as he d eli vered his bread from .
house to house. Driving along he
noticed two little girls sitting on the
steps. of a l ittle hoqse. . ""When he stop-
peel his wagon just across the street ,
the
1
girls ran over to him, saying,
1\fister , wou 't you please sing that
song to us?'' Brother H-- stood in
the street and sang of the heavenly
home. Then he invited his audience to
attend the Chi:istmas services. Christ-
mas eve two littl e poorly clad
and holding each other by the hand,
occupied one chair ricar the front of
the church; one stood while the other
sat, and vice versa. A vacant chair was
just back, but they r efused to be sepa-
rated. Dwing the . t estimonies o"f the
children, they eagerly listened to c atch
every word. Presently they went out
and a t eacher went after them. They
wer e standing on the . steps of the
church, still holding each other by t he
hand'. Seeing' the teacher, one of tl!em '
said, "We were seeing if it was getting
very dark/ ' ....
The t eacher told them she would sec
that they got home safely, and asked
them to stay through the servi ces.
"\Vill ther e he a Santa . Clans," one
of them .asked. .
"Oh no, chiltl , -ive clo riot h ave a San-
ta Clans ; we have a precious Jesus."
" "Will he come tonight ?" t hey ask ed.
But the t eacher wi t hout making r eply,
hurried them back to their scat.
At the .close of the services t he pas-
tor called for t hose who wanted to
!mow 'J esus to lift their hands. In-
st antly two little hancls wer e lifted
hi gh above the little stranger 's heads;
oth er hands were lifted, and then the

SAY "NO" TO YOURSELF.
It is w10rth a great deal to be able
to say ''No'' to yourself. If you do
not learn to do this, no one can do it
for you. When you are tempted to go
somewhere, or take something that you
kno,v is not right, say inside,
stck to it. Say it good and strong.
.You sometimes eat too much-you
know you do. Tell yourself that you
do not need what you would like to

BOYS AND THEIR MOTHERS.
Some one has written beautifully to
the boys in the following manner. Here
is a whole sermon in a few sentenees:
''Of all the love affairs of the world,
1ione can surpass the true love of the
"big boy for his mother. It is pure and
noble, honorable in the highest degree
to both. I do not mean merely a duti-
ful affection. I mean a love which
makes.. a boy gallant and courteous to
his mother, saying to everybody plain-
ly that he is fairly in love with her.
Next to the love of a husband, nothing
so crowns a woman's life with honor
as this second love, this devotion of a
son to her. And I never yet knew a
boy to turn out badly who began by
falling in love with his mother. Any
man may fall in love with a fresh-faced
gi rl , and the man who is gallant with
the girl may cruelly neglect the worn
and weary wife. Bnt the boy who s
a lover of his rriotbel" in her middle age
is a true k night 'vho will love his wife
as m'n ch in the sere-leaved autumn as
he did in the daisied -springtime. ''-

TAKE ITJVITH YOU.
"I hope .you ' ll have a pleasant time,
son," said I, as the latter was starting
out to spend the evening .
''Thank yon; I always do, for I take
it with nie," wfis the r eply.
And that is a great big secret. l\Iost

that's right. But so many of them
seem to fail. \Vhy pon ' t they take it
with them? They can; they should.
Going on an outing with some
friends, a young lady before starting
put a spray of sweet eglantine in h er
bosom. She quite forgot its presence.
But all day long she and her intimate
companions kept getting the delicious
odor of the sweet brier and wondered
where it was.
So in all .your life. The good time is
in you. It is with you as to ,\hether
you have good neighbors and find

WON BY A VERSE.
Dr. Valpy, the author of a -great many
class-books, wrote the following sim-
ple lines a:s . llis confession of
''In peace l et me resign my. breath,
Thy salvation see;
My . sins deserve eternal death,
But J esus died for me.''
Vt\lpy gave those lines to Dr. March,
a rector, who put them over his study
mantel-sll.elf . . . The Earl or Roden read
them.
''Will you give me a copy of these
said the good earl.
''I shall be glad to,'' said Dr. March.
. Lord Roden took them home and put
them over his mantel-shelf: General
Taylor, a waterloo hero,-,canie into the
r oom and noticed them. He read them .
over and' O''er again. while staying with.
Lord Roden, till his lordship remarked:
''I say, Friend Taylor, I should think
you ' d ln1ow tlwse lines by heart. ''
General Ta:Ylor handed those lines to
an officer in t he army, who was going
out to the Crimean war. He came
home to die; and '"hen Dr. March went
out to see him, the. ppor soul_ in his
weala1ess said : "Good sir, do you know
this verse which General Taylor gave.-
to meY It brought me to my Sa'vior,
and I die in peace. "-Selected.

THE PRECIOUS BLOOD.
The blood of Christ: it is the foun-
tain of immortality! The blood of
Christ : it makes the soul summer warm
beauteous! The . blood of ' Christ:
it binds all heaven ; with its man-
sions and throngs without number, in
holy and indissoluble security! My
soul, seek no other stream in .which to
drown thy leprosy! My lips, no
other song with which to charge your
music ! My hands, seek no other t!l-sk
with which to prove your energy! I
would be swallowed up in Christ! I
would be nailed to His cross. I would
be baptized with His baptism. I would
.quail under the agony of His pain, that
I might triumph with Him in the glory
of His resu:rrection.-J oseph Parker.

DOING THINGS.
''It is time my sympathies
ooze out through my finger tips,''
thought the yotmg girl who had been
feeli ng sorry for an overworked
mother .
''I . will send my" prayers in my
wagon,'' answered a farmer who was
asked to pray for a poor widow who
was in great distress.
'' I must spell ni y pity. with . my
purse," d ecided a mmi whose heart had
been touched at the need of the
heat hen. ,
"My sociability needs to be mounted
on shoe l eath er , " concluded a well-
_Messenger
meaning, but. home-tied church mem-
ber, as she .. of her duties to-
ward some. newcomers.
"I will try to coax my heart into
the palm of my hand,' ' the usher whis-
pered to . himself, -as he was about to
reach out for a perfunctory handshake
with a stranger, .
'' 0 love, come sit on .my lips while I
speak to that careless one, '' invoked
one whose good intentions had a habit
of hiding in the<> heart. .
''I must multiply my Sunday good-
ness by seven," declared another who
had awakened to the need of Sunday-
izing the week in order to prevent sec-
ularizing the Lord's Day.

When comes the King in royal might,
To crush,the wrong and crown the right; .
When all the saints in glory meet,
No more to die, no more to weep;
When. thrones are set and crowns are given,
. With all the rich r ewards of heaven;-
0 , in that glorious by-and-by,
What's done for God can never die!"
