outlook better than ever before.
He dwelt upon the growth. of the holi-
ness work in the South, and the great
openi1_1g this " as making for the Pen-
tecostal Church of t he Nazarene. Great
enthus.iasnrwas aroused b)r.this address.
Rev. H. D. Brown submitted his r e-
port of the work of the District. He
prefaced it w.ith a ve_rbal r etrospect of
the small and unpromising beginning
of the District , upon its organization
four and a half years ago with three
feeble, struggling churches, and con-
trnsted that ' vit.h its. present strength

. nounced that he had ' 'undertaken an-
other great work, and must ask to. be
excused from ..... further work:on this Dis-
trict'.'' The nature of this work will
appear elsewhere. His closing words
were: '' vVe pray the Lord to greatly
bless the work in the future, and carry
it on to still greater success."

count the incident of his granting to

his li cense to exhort.

in attendance. ordained to the office of
elder Rev. Lyman Brough, the pioneer
of onr work in North Dakota,--wno, with
two delegates, came miles to at-
tend this Assembly.
This Assembly was judged by those
in a position to compare to be by far the
best yet held in the Northwest. 'l'he
growth of the .A.ssembly is fairly indi-
cated by tlle vote for District Superin-
tendent: 67, as against 42 last year.
The number of members in actual at-
tendance was about 75. Persons out-
side of the membership of the Assembly
who had knowledge. of the perplexities
attending its deliberations were power-
. fully impressed by the spirit that per-
vaded it and the Christ-like bearini{ of
its members. Those who had not met

acquaintance. The Fremont Christian ,

witli a roomy and well ap-
pointed dining room. Dinner and. sup-
per were .served here from Thursday to

nnttee of the Seattle church having this
in cliarge wer>e excellent. The
members from outside 6f Seattle warm-
ly testified their appreciation of these

ment amounted . to about $200. This
was raised by offerings made during

FiiiST ANNUAL ASSEMBLY.
.Thank God, the holy light js spread-
ing. In previous issues of the Messen-
ger we have spoken of the_ rise', pros-
perity and spread of organized holiness
under the lead of . Rev. Geo. 'Sharpe,
pastor of the Parkhead P entecostal
Church of Glasgow, Scotland, and of
the work of the . Star Hall Mission of
Manchester; England, under Misses
Crossley and Hatch. The Lord is
greatly blessing the 'vork in both places,
and so we. are glad to give below a re-
port of the "First Annual Assembly of
the P entec.ostal Church of Scotland,"
which we take from The Way of Holi-
ness, issued in the interests of the Star
Hall Mission :
Pursuant to a call issued by the Rev.
Ge{). Sharpe, pastor of the Parkhead
Pentecostal Church, Glasgow, the first
assembly of the holiness churches and
missions convened in the Parkhead P en-
. tecostal C4ur.ch on May 7 and 8.
Space will not allow of giving in full
an the Qutstanding legislation and ad-
vices that were enacted and passed up-
on for the safeguarding of holiness
churches and for the d evelopment of the
cause of holiness throughout the land.
Quite a large
on Friday evening at' 7:30 to
opening sermon by the Rev. G. Sharpe
on 1 Cor. 3 :11, ''Christ, Our Only Foun-
dation.'-' I<'ollowing the sermon the
sa crament of the Lord's supper was ob-
served. This was a blessed season and
nearly 180 persons fellowshipped to-
gether.
The first business session was then
enter ed upon. Del egates r epresenting
Paisley, Uddingston and Parkhead
churches, and two delegates from the
Blantyre mission were recognized as
members of the assembly.
On the r eading of the call it was im-
mediat ely rrio"ved that we constitute
ourselves the First Assembly of Holi-
ness Churches. This was <>arried with-
out dissenting voice. The Rev. G.
Sharpe was elected chairman and Mr.
John E . Wat.s?n, secreta;y, pro t ern.
An explanatiOn regardmg the compo-
sition of the committees having been
made and the r eason for having them in
order being accepted they were accord-
ingly Miss Hatch, who
with Miss Crossley, was an inter ested
li st ener in the assembly, was invited to
speak on behalf of the new holiness pa-
per , Tge Way . of Holiness: H <>r re-
marks wer e greatly appreciated. Ptais<>.
prayer and_. the benediction closed the
. first session of the ,.assembly.
The second session convened at 3
o'cloC'k on Saturday. 'It was opened
with praise and prayer, Miss liatch fol-
lowing with a stirring address on Dan.
11 :32, "The people that do know their
God shall -be strong, and' do exploits.i
The business of the assembly;-was tftn
resumed. The report of. the committee
on nominations showed. that the execu-
tive would be composed .of thirteen
11?-embex:s, of them bearing the. offi-
. designation of pr_esident, secretary,
mmute secretary, and treasurer. The
Rev. G. Sharpe was elected president;
Mr. John E . . Watson, ..secretary; :Mr.
John Robb, minute secretarjr, and Mr.
Latter. treasurer.
on organization gave
their report .whiCh covered the !ollow-
ing points: 1. This organiaztion shall
be known as ' ' The Pentecostal Church
of Scotland. " .
2. Membership to be composed of
churches and mission which are propa..:
gating holiness and which are in accord
with and have subscribed to the declara-
tion of faith.
3. The object. The object of tl1is.
church shall be :
a To encourage and create a: bmid
of unity amongst all of Jike faith.
b TO'' in founding
churehes and helping to
majntain all' agencies common to church
work.
c To maintain the standards of
Scripture, and d efend and propagate
the truth that pertains to sanctification .
as a doctrine and experience. , .
4. The annual mecti!!g shaH be held
during the first week in "M'av.
It was adopted.
The committee on doctrines mid dis-
cipline gave their report. It recom-
mended that the printed Declaration of
Faith be the standard of our church.
(This Declaration of Faith was adopted
and printed some time ago bv the Park-
head Church.) n .was adopted. Dis-
ciplinary matters cover ed t he questions
of immoral and imprudent conduct with
rules for dealing with such cases. Spe-
ci al ad vices in " Support of Ministers,"
"Temperance and Prohibition, " and
" Tobacco," we-re likewise given. All
were adopted.
Following, came the r eport on licen- .
tiates and ordination. We give the lead-
ing features of this r eport to show that
the holiness cuurches exact , not only a
high religions experience and character
from those who are. to preach holiness,
but that the Assembly through its <:om-
mittee demands of those who are to
prea ch in their pulpit s a sufficient pre-
paration to enable them to successfullv
def end, t ea ch, and preach the doctrine
and experien ce of ent it:e sanctification.
.
The of Christ is to be in an
things a pattern .to the flock, in dili-.
discr et-ion, punctual----
tt;i. pureness, by knowledge, by
long-suffering, by kindness, by the Holy
Spirit, by love unfeigned, by the word
of truth, by the power of God, by the
armor of righteousness on the right
hand and on the left.''
His qualifications. He must have
peace. with God and know, that he is
sanctified wholly by the baptism with
the Holy Ohost. He must have a deep
sense of the fact that soul:> are perish-
ing for whom Christ died, and that he
is called of God to proclaim to them
the glad tidings of salvation. Not only
will he know that he is called, but the
church, illuminated by the Holy Spirit;
will recognize the Spirit's call.
There will.be gifts and gr,aces. There
will be a thirst for Bibiicar knc;nvledge.
There will be sound judgment and a
.. good understanding. Fruit will be
made manifest in the saving of sinners
and in the sanctification of believers.
When the church discovers the divine
call, let the proper steps be taken for
its recognition and endorsement and all
suitable help be given to open: the way
into the ministry.
License to Preach.
Licenses t() preach are to be granted
to gifted young men in our churches,
also to students: in our Bible School, on
the recommendation of the officials of
their church on taking the
course of study provided for licentiates.
Licenses to be given by the pastors of
our churches, and subsequent to having
passed the required course of study,
said licenses to be renewed yearly.
Ordination.
Subject to being called to the pas-
torate of one of our churches, and hav-
ing passed the prescribed course of
study, and the passing of his character,
a licentiate may be ordained to the min-
istry. This service may occur at the
will of the church to which the person
is called as pastor, but we recommend
that ordination services be a feature of
our Annual Assembly.
Recognition of Orders.
We shall recognize the orders of min-
isters from ' other bodies when their
character has passed and we are satis-
fied that they are in accord with our
teachings and that they enjoy the ex-
perience of holiness.
The Ministry of Women.
We endorse the action of other holi-
ness churches and put ourselves on rec-
ord, that the privileges granted young
men for gaining a place amongst us in
the ministry shall at ; all times be ex-
tended to women in the gospel who
know they have a call from God and
who in the judgment of the church have
been specially chosen by the Holy Spirit
to the ministry.
. With the adoption of this report the
second session closed with praise and
prayer. .
. The third session was opened at 7
o'clock and continued until 10 o'clock.
After praise and prayer, the committee
on church extension and evangelism re-
ported. The following reasons were
given for multiplying holiness churches.
1. It will unite the holiness people.
2. It will put the true brand upon
those who have the experience.
NazfX,rene 'Messe.nger,.
3. It will save the violation of the
made by many who' kno:w
God.
4. It will mean spiritual develop-
ment unalloyed.
5. It will ensure separation from all
worldly entanglements.
6. It will also provide .for the clear
teaching of and entire
sanctification.
With these reasons the following par-
agraphs were given to further vindicate
the necessity of . a holiness . church.
Labor is organized. Capital is organ-
ized. Democracy in the church is or-
ganized. Army enthusiasts are organ-
ized. Those who represent and
for water baptism are organized. West-
minster . confessionists are organized.
Believers in Liturgy and Episcopacy
are organized. Why should not the peo-
ple who believe in the second definite
work of grace organize into a p erm a-
nent body to propagate their faith in-
stead of dissipating and losing them-
selves in great r eligious bodies that dis-
believe the teaching and deny the ex-
perience?
The weakness of the holiness move-
ment has been that it is fragmentary.
Done in leagues, missions, small socie-
ties, associations, independent churches
. which are usually small, prayer-meet-
ings, holiness bands, etc. All of them
preclude the idea of permanent success
because they have not the advantage of
a great organization. In a work of or-
ganized holiness with a successful
church government the weakness will
be overcome.
Reports were like,vise given by the
following committees: "Education and
Publication," "Foreign Missions and
Deaconesses," "Sabbath Desecration, "
''Courses for Study for Licentiates,
Evangelists, , Deaconesses and the Per-
manent M-inistry."
The assembly closed in an atmosphere
of prayer. While to many who took
part in the assembly meetings the work
was new and strange, yet at the close
every one expressed themselves as grat-
tified at the of being present
and having some part in such a momen-
tous event so auspiciously begun and
where the unity of the Spirit was so
evident.
Through all the discussions nothing
but blessed peace and harmony pre-
vailed. Many, .many are praying that
this new church may accomplish under

FROM THE FIELD.
Since leaving the Pittsburg Assem-
. bly, East Palestine, Ohio, the writer has
traveled about .1200 miles, stopping at
the below-named
. Chicago.
At this great city I only had time to
make my brother a brief call ; on Tues-
day p. m., May 25th, preached for the
Second Church, and at night met the
pastor of First Church, Brother Cor-
. nell, in conference with reference to the
General Missionary Board meeting in
October.
Sparta, Wis.
On Wednesday night preached in the
home of Rev. Brother and Sister Cooley,
members and elders in the Pittsburg
District, and on Thursday night
preached at a shcool house about three
miles out from Sparta, where Brother
Cooley has recently organized a Sunday
s-chool. Brother Cooley is doing a good
work in the Sunday ilchool Union Mis-
sionary lines and his good wife is sup-
plying a church out some ten miles, and
the Lord is giving her some souls for
the two works of grace. Three were
seeking purity on Wednesday night.
Marshalltown, Ia.
We only had one service at Marshall-
town on Sunday, May 30th, owing to
the great union effort of the churches
of that city of 15,000, with "Billy Sun-
day" for evangelist. The Lord is bless-
ing the union effort and a good number
are taking Brother Sunday by the hand
and promising to live better lives; let
us pray they may.
A New Church For Us.
At a recent visit of District Superin-
tendent Agnew, "our folks" purchased
a church building from the Christian
denomination (a great bargain) and
Sunday afternoon the little handful of
our people arranged for $101, which
makes $251 they now have on hand;
with $50 they must borrow, they wil1
close the bargain for the church by
making the first payment on June Jst
of $300. Pray . for them and all the
work of our God everywhere.

FROM DISTRICT SUPT. AGNEW.
I began a meeting at Detroit, Mich.,
last night in a tabernacle with Rev. E.
E. Wood, our pastor here. The out-
look is good for a fine meeting and a
good, strong Nazarene church here in
this city of 400,000, where Methodism
has flourished for years, but today, alas,
"No hellism," "Millerite Dowieism,"
so-called ''Christian Science,'' the '' Un-
known Tongue,'' and every other
tongue seem rampant. Hell has been
enlarged to make room for the many
that are going there through false reli-
gion.

MALDEN, MASS.
The fire is' burning in my soul. God
is answering earnest; wrestling, agoniz-
ing prayer. We are beginning with our
precious Brother Borders at Malden,
Mass. The Pentecostal Church of the
Nazarene is a fine church, and a good
people. We are expecting a victory.
We will hold three meetings, then go
south; but will return in the fall. A
red hot gospel; a beautiful life! a pray-
ing clear through, will pull the bottom
out of heaven until altars will be
crowded. The saints are doing good
knee work. Brother Borders is a fine
. man, a good preacher and a most de-
lightful companion. He is bringing
things to pass. We certainly enjoy
working with this holy people. We had
a great meeting at Monticello; four ser-
vices daily; scores were saved; business
men locked up and came to church at

SEATrLE, WASH.
Seattle is a great and rapidly grow-
ing city, the largest in the Northwest,
claiming 310,000 inhabitants, and just
now giving a large amount of .attention
to the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition,
which was opened here on. Tuesday,
June 1st, President Taft touching the
-button at Washington, D. C., which set
the machinery in motion, and sending
congratulations. Mr. Hill, the great
railroad magnate of the Northern Paci-
fic, who has done so much for the open-
ing up of .this Northwest, deliv-
ered the address of the occasion; which
from the standpoint of 'f;!:psiness and
commerce relevant to -- this and
its outlook, was certainly a clear, able
and masterly address. It would seem
that no man in the nation is more appre-
ciated and popular among this people
than this plain, keen, finan-
cier. In these days, when4'or a man to
be is sufficient 'cause to array
so many against him, this appreciation
of this man is refreshing, and speaks
well for both the heart and head of
these people. Much of the preparation
for this great exposition are said to be
far complete, but over 90,000 peo-
ple attended on the opening day. . We
took the day to go to Everett, and meet
the N azarenes and their friends and
preach to them the word of life. We
4id not see the exposition; -as that- could
be easily postponed until after Gapriel
sh.all blow his trumpet, and there were
things of so much greater import which
Nazarene Messenger
demanded our attention which could
not be postponed.
The Assembly.
The Northwestern District is a vast
empire, embracing hal! a dozen states,
being near a thousand miles long and
five hundred wide. Delegates were
present from the Dakotas to southwest-
ern Oregon. Not only were there
a hundred members of the Assembly
present but from various places a good-
ly number of others came to enjoy the
sessions and the great religious services
gonnected with .them. The regular busi-
ness was attended to, such as hearing
reports, examining into the work, pass-
ing of character, planning and arrang-
ing for the work, etc. Careful atten-
tion was given to our educational, pub-
lishing and missionary work; a great
anniversary was given to the latter, and
the others had ample time in the session
for reports and addresses, and. appro-
priate action. The sessions were full of
interest and enthusiasm, and rich in
suggestive thought, as well as the spirit
of unity and accord.
It is but four years ago that a little
handful of people met in' Spokane for
the organization of this Northwestern
District, and now the sacred corn is
sown not only in the mountain tops but
in the valleys of this vast country.
Rev. H. D. Brown has been District
Superintendent from the first, who with
his capable wife, who with him has
been devoted to the work, have labored,
traveled and sacrificed, and especially
in the earlier periods, paying much of
their own way and providing for them-
selves and others, to serve the work.
_They have attepded the As-
semblies, the Convention at Brooklyn,
N. Y., and have spared no pains or ex-
pense to serve in a general as well as a
more local way, and Bro. Brown's
large ability and clear thought have
been a large factor in the forming of
the work. It appeared to him to be a
necessity for him to retire from the
superintendency, as he felt called to
open up a general rescue work having
its headquarters at Seattle; in which he
was endorsed by the Assembly and to
which both he and Sister Brown have
special adaptability, and considerable
experience. Tbe. work ,has already been
auspiciously begun in Seattle.
Rev. D. L. Wallace was elected Dis-
trict Superintendent and enters upon
his,;..work wHli. much knowledge of tlie -
fi,eld, and with special adaptability to
the work. Mrs. Wallace is pastor of>the
church at Seattle, where she has been
[June 17, 1909
eminently successful ... She has -special . .
evangelistfc gifts and expects; as soon
as suitable can be made
for the supply of the church in Seattle,
to give .herself in connection with
. Bro. Wallace to this very great work of
planting new' churches and fostering
those already established.- we believe
that in this way . they can do a work
greater than could be possible in any
other capacity or field. Many ope:It
doors await the.m, a!J.d they have sev-
eral good evangelists 'to with
them, among those more widelyknawn
are Revs. J. B. Creighton and W. S.
Rice. The members of the Assembly
are praying for and expecting the
doubling of the number of churches
during the coming year. The greatest
of victories await the onward march
of our forces in this rapidly developing
country. Here will be several Districts
in the not distant future. The Assem-
bly requested the General Superintend-
ents to organize the eastern part, em-
bracing the Dakotas and. possibly Mon-
tana, into a District as soon as practi-
cable.
The religious services were especially
.
at1d largely attended, as well as the ses-
sions. There was preaching and other
services each night and three times on
Sabbath. The Word was preached in
the unction of the Holy Spirit, with
seekers at the altar at every service
and much victory ..
The entertainment was excellent, the
nearby Christian church courteously
tendering their commodious dining
rooms, where was served excellent din-
ners and suppers to delegates and visi-
tors. Nothing was left undone for the
comfort and pleasant entertainment of
the Assembly; and the church was
greatly blessed by its presence, work
and .ministry. There were several invi-
tations from churches for the Assembly
to hold its next session with them. The
invitation from Ashland was accepted-
and made unanimous. The presence
and overruling hand of the Master, so
evider:o.tly manifest, made the Assem-
bly great, and filled all hearts with
hope.
This note would be incomplete with-
out a special word in .reference to-the
church here in Seattle. Two years ago
we had seemingly next to nothing, al-
beit we had a woman who had been
earnestly praying without ceasing for
the coml.iiii.of Church . of the
rene for half a dozen years-Sister Col-
burn; and Bro. and Sister Brown, were :
here and a few others who had been
June 17, 1909]
drawn to them and the work. Now
. there is a nice, commodious church
building, a good of peo-
ple, a goodly body of earnest men and
women composing its membership, a
fine Sabbath school, all with the real
swing of this great-Nazarene movement.
In all this Sister Wallace with her de-
voted husband have a large place.
There was one other marked fact con-
nected with this Assembly, the sinking
0f churchianity in individual
churches for the common work_ and
good of all. The pastors and. people
came and remained until the end, mak-
. ing the Sabbath a highly marked
epoch, being present to preach and
shout on the battle.
,. ,. ,. .
MEMBERSHIP COMMITIEES.
At the Northwestern District Assem-
bly thr. General Superintendent made
some remarks. o'n the ''Church Commit-
tee on Membership,'' which the Assem-
bly experssed P,esire might be in the
Messenger. He said: The Manual pro-
vides that each church shall have a
Membership Committee, who shall have
to do with the reception of members.
Some who have constituted these com-
mittees have seemed to have so much of
a misconception of their duty that they
have re;lly been a hindrance to the up-
building of the church, until we have
heard considerable complaint from
some excellent pastors that they are a
real hindrance to the work. It is con-
ceded that the people who are led to
Christ should. be gathered into the
church, where they cari be nurtured
and helped, or else the grace received
is likely to be frustrated. Some com-
mittees seem to think that their main
husiness is to stand at the door of the
church with a club and keep people
out. They seem to think that the peo-
ple are likely to run over each other
and all church proprieties to get into
the church unless there is a brace of
bull-dogs growling and barking and
showing their teeth to keep them out,
and scare them off. An excellent pas-
tor told us recently that several good
people had been kept out of his church
by this process. There is little danger
of people crowding each other to get
into churches earnestly preaching holi-
ness of heart and life, and while there
will perhaps be an occasional candidate
who should not be received, yet in a
church with holy fire; suah;an one,
even if received, would. soon slough off;
but sufficient watch-care in this matter
can easily be exercised. But this is
Nazarene Messenger
..... .
not especially the design of--the com-
mittee. The design is to look out for
persons who should unite, arrange for
their coming in, report to the . pastor
and help build up the kingdom, enlarge
the church and fill the world. with holy
men and women. We hear.d .the remark
recently, "People get into our.- CQurch
far too easily," as if it should be made
hard for people to come home and they
should be discouraged in the attempt.
Let the committees help to bring people
in, where holhiess is insisted upon and
: where there are hallowed influences to
build up in righteousness and help on
towards the skies .

THE DISTRICT ASSEMBLY.
The Southern California .District As-
sembly is to convene on Thur&day
morning, June 17th, at 9. o'clock, at
the First Church, Los Angeles. At the
opening service the Sacr.ament of the
Lord's Supper will be administered,
after which the Assembly will be or-
ganized by the calling of the roll, the
election of secretaries, the appointment
of committees, etc. Much of the days,
both forenoons and afternoons, will
doubtless be devoted to business, with
an anniversary or two, the evenings
being given up to preaching and evan-
gelistic services.
A great preparatory meeting is to
be held on Wednesday night. All of
the services and exercises will be .op_en
to the general public and all interested
are especially invited to be present. A
great and important session is expected.
Let there be much prayer for the special
outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

AT THE TABERNACLE
On Sabbath the church was neatly
decorated with the words, ''Welcome
.Home," hung above the - altar as a
greeting to the pastor, Dr. Bresee, who
had been away for a month. The pas-
- tor preached to a good audience_ from
a few verses in the First Epistle of
Peter, making an analysis of the Epis-
tle. He showed the scattered condition
of the churches l;>ecause of the violent
versecutions, how Paul was dead, and
lJ.ow Peter's heart was drawn out to
comfort and help the scattered ones in
all lands. How he laid hold of the past,
the present and the future, in the grace
of God, in His overruling providence
and love.
He spoke of Mr. Hill's great address
at the opening of the Alaska-Yukon-
Pacific Exposition, how the Master had
said that the men of this world are
wiser in their generation than the chil-
dren of light. He spoke of how Mr.
am said. the fair had its face towards
the future, how the opening of the
avenues to the tide of the nation's life,
_ and the spirit of the people were the
sources of the great success of the
Northwest, and -how he emphasized
"conservation of 'forces," and gave us
the four necessary words of the Repub-
lic-Equality, Simplicity, Economy and
Justice.
All of this worldly wisdom was shown
to contain the elements which in a high
and holy sense must thrill the life of
God's people, and how -they are found
in this work of God to which we are
called.
Four persons were received into the
church.
.The afternoon holiness meeting was
of unusual interest and blessing to the
people. Bro. Thomas Rogers brought
the message, which was indeed rich
with deep spiritual truth, and poured
forth with great tenderness of soul.
We all appr eciated the presence and
words of Bro. Wilson and Bro. Walker,
who spoke so impressively upon the
practical side of holy living. All
seemed to. go forth from. the meeting
with a deeper r ealization of the im-
portance of holy behavior all the time
and everywhere.
The evening service was in charge
of Bro: Goodwin, who gave the message
from Acts 1 :8, on the power of the
Holy Ghost. In speaking of the power
of the Holy Ghost he said that it was
something more than enthusiasm or ill-"
fluence; that the primary purpose in
the coming of the Holy Ghost was to
effect a clean heart. The power of the
church after the coming of the Holy
Ghost was the power of purity, and,
sec'ond, the power of unity .
. T}lere were two seekers at the, altar,.
who gave clear. testimony tq saving.
grace. The altar service closed with
great victory and shouts of praise.

ADJUSTMENT AND RECO(;NITION.
About nine months ago a . number of
persons having withdrawn from the
First Pentecostal' Church of the Naza-
r ene at Los Angeles, Cal., asked to be
recognized as a Pentecostal Church of
the Nazarene ; their recognition not be-
ing possible at that time owing to a
lack of agreement in some matters, they
became a separate organization known .
as the Trinity Mission. Now after sev-
eral months and- after conference with
them the following paper, which clears
any difficulties which were in the way
of their r ecognition, has been prepared
and signed by them :
. . ''we, the the undersigned who, hav-
mg expressed our desire for recognition
and to be organized into a Pentecostal
Church of the Nazarene, do hereby
make a further statement:
'' 1. We are in full accord with the
of the Church, especially the
doctrme and preaching of entire sanc-
tification. :
'' 2. We are in. complete harmony
with the polity of the church, and we
are loyal to its assemblies and its ad-
ministration through its Superintend-
ents .
'' 3. That our course. in asking to be
dismissed from the First Pentecostal
Church of the Nazarene and to organize
another church was t he r esult of a dis-
agreement in judgment in some mat-
ters, and was not intended as an accu.-
sation of wrong doing on the part of
the pastol,' or the Church Board of the
above-named church, or an imputation
of wrong motives toward us or others.
And should recognition be granted us,
we shall in this relation be in sacred
fellowship with them, and will fully co-
operate with them and all other Pente-
costal Churches of the Nazarene, ac-
cording to the Doctrine and Polity of .
the chur ch in the great work to which
we believe God has called this people.''
These friends of the Trinity Mis.sion
say they desire that their former state-
ment, in refusing to sign article three
in the terms of r ecognition of the first
paper presented, be not construed as an
. intended accusation of wrong doing
against anyone, and regret that it has
been so understood .
In order that there. might be no mis-
understanding in this matter the follow-
ing resolution . was unanimously adopt-
ed by the .. Mission :
"Resolved, That we-a number Qf us
withdrawn from the First
te.cos.tal Church of the Nazarene-while
we do not hold ourselves responsible
June 17, 19091
for ali of the which . may
have been made in reference to the
causes which led to our withdrawal
from . said church, yet on our part we_
gladly relieve, as _ far as possible for us _
to do, _ the pastor Church Board
from wrong :d.oing in connection with
the matters causing us to ' withdraw.
Signed by order of the Mission. '
A. N. -Clark, Chairman,
Wm. V. Pemberton, Secretary.".
These statements seem to cover _the
points deemed by me essen:tial and
necessary in order that this peoP,le
might be recognized as a Pentecostal
Church of the N aoo.rene, which recogni-
tion as District I have
given them, and said recognition has
been approved by the General Superin-
tendent. This new church is to be
known as the Trinity Penteaostal
Church of the Nazarene.

ELYSIAN HEIGHTS CHURCH.
Sabbath was a good day .at :Elysian
Heights. The morning service was
given up to the Sabbath School, it be-
ing ''Children's Day.'' Appropriate
songs were sung and pieces spoken. A
real and earnestness seemed
to be upon children and young people
as they sang and 'talked of Jesus and
His wonderful love to all.
We regretted very much the absence,
on account of 'si,ckness, of our superin-
tendent, our dear Bro. Elliott, who is
always at his post and faithful to duty,
when it is at all possible for him to be.
He is fast convalescing, however, and
we hope to soon have him with us
again.
The evening service was well at-
tended, quite a few strangers being
present. The sermon was strong and
impressive and much conviction was
depicted on the countenances of the
unsaved ones present. When the altar
call 1was given a young man, a brother
of our' pastor, came forward, giving his
brother his hand and kneeling in hum-
ble contrition at the mercy seat, and
as best he knew gave his heart to Jesus.
We feel ourselves a favored people
in having for our pastor such an effi-
cient, earnest, clear and deeply spirit-
ual of the scripture as Bro.
Rineschmidt is proving himself to be.
He is fast getting hold of the hearts
of the people at Elysian Heights. Our
congregations are steadily increasing
and as a people our faith is taking hold
of God for greater things than we have
ever known at this place. Amen and
amen. .. A. Jaynes.
-' At the regular meeting of the
Church Board, held Monday evening,
June 7, Bro. A. E. Rineschmidt was
- unanimously invited to be the pastor
for another year. The spirituality of
membership has increased under
his ministrations, and the outlook and
uplook is good, for which we thank
God and take . courage.

:PASADENA, CAL
Sunday, _ June 6, 'was- a bles_sed
day here, because of the manifest pr.es-
ence of God during all the services
througho11t the _entire day. The sub-
ject for the serii!On in the morning was
"The Sacraments and Holiness,,; this
being a continuation from the
of -the _previous Sa'bbath the
sacrament referred to also . being the
same, that of the Lord's Supper .. Bro.
Walker read several passages of Scrip-
ture taken from the Psalms and Isainh,
but his text was stilll John 1 :7: "But
if we walk in the light as he is i.n the _
light, we have fellowship one with an-
other, and the blood of Jesus Christ
his son cleanseth us from all sin."
In the afternoon, at 3 o'clock, Bro.
Walker administered the of
the Lord's Supper. ,
. In the evening, at 6 :30, the yollllg
people's meeting was led by Mrs. An-
- drew Murray. Almost the entire serv-
ice was devoted to prayer.
Immediately following this service,
at 7 :30 p. m., was the regular evening
preaching service. The service was
founded on the twentieth verse of the
fifth chapter of James: "Let him know
that he which converteth a sinner from
the error of his way, shall save a soul
from death and hide a multitude of
sins.'' Edna Murray.

''.Mother,'' said Cliff, ''what am I
goiug to tlo with Joe Blair1"
" \Vha t 's the matter 1" asked his
mother, looking up from the work in
her lap. 'fhe salt air blew fresh in
her ace, and hc_r eyes roved past the
angry little questioner to the shimmer
of sunlit waves and the gleam of white
sails.
'' 'Vhy, we are building a fort,
mother, and Joe will build it so near
the water that in a f ew minutes it will
all be washed out to sea.''
"Why don't you get him to build it
higher up, then?''
' 'I can 't make him do it, '' cried Cliff,
stamping the pebbly shore in vexation.
''I've tried and tried, and I can't.''
"How did yon try?" asked the
mother.
'' Vv ell,'' said Cliff, hesitating a little,
''I first said that he mnstu 't. ''
"And thci1?"
'' vVhy, then I told him that he was
a big goose."
''And then Y"
There was a little pause before this
answc1 eame. "I jerked his paddle
awav."
"And then?"
Thi s time his mother thought she
would not get any answer at ali, but
at last. ( :)iff said, hanging his bead, ..
"Tlwn I knoeked hhi1 over and made
him cry. " ,
'' Oh, my, my, my!'' said the mother,
shaking her head sadly; and Cliff felt
very mean indeed. "You have tried
your own naughty way, and failed.
Now suppose yon try God's plan. He
says that you must 'suffer long and be
kin fl. ' Go back and try that, little
son.'' .
Cliff went back slowly. He didn't
at all like God's plan of treating Joe,
but he must have tried it after all, for
the two little boys built their fort with-
out any mol'e quarreling, and it lasted
a whol e. fifteen minutes.-Snnbeam.

Did you ever visit Central Park, New
York.? \Vhen they were surveying that
park, the engineers came to an immense
heap iof rock in the park. They stood
mid thought. They did not know what
to do with these rocks; it would cost
thousands of dollars to move them.
They were standing one day discussing
the mattet when a lady. walked up, and
hearing the eonversation, she said: "I
will tell you what to , do with these
rocks. Plant honey-suckles and other
vines about them, and they will climb
up and shade them." The engineers
thought this was the very thing, and
they planted honeysuckles and other
vines around these rocks, and now the
most lovely and fragrant place in Cen-
tral park is where t hese' rocks stand.
'l'akc the characteristics of Christ, and
plant them in this ugly and jagged
nature of yours and bend them into
your heart, and your character will
grow like the grand character of the
Lord Jesus Christ.

A STRANGE HERESY.
W .e are surprised to find that some
are teaching, or said to be'
teaching, that sanctification is received
by faith, regardless of consecration.
This is -positively false and dangerous.
That sanctification is received by ,faith
there is no doubt. But just as faith
for pardon is preceded by the forsaking
of all sins, so is faith for cl eansing pre-
ceded by an entir e consecration of the
all to Christ. The body must be given
to Him as a living sacrifice. There must
be nothing withheld-'' Friends, and
time, and earthly wholly thi11e
forever more, " is the song of the con-
secrated soul as it approaches by faith
the fountain of cleansing.
