Paul, "I have kept the faith," it will be because like Paul,.
faith has kept us. The way to be kept by faith is to keep
the faith-the faith that regulates the life in its motives,
desires, words, acts and purposes, and puts within you an
integrity that makes you feel that eve;ybody can trust
you, that would not let you do a mean thing before the
bar of your own conscience. Real faith is heart harmony
with God, a faith
''That will not murmur not: complain
Beneath the chastening rod,
But in the hoiX' of grief or pain
Will lean upon its God;
A faith that shines more bright and clear
When tempests rage without;
That when in danger knows no fear,
In darkness feels no doubt."
'Oh, beloved, this faith is a very practical thing. It
will not only give us victory in all conditions and places
' while standing in the front of the battle, and meeting the
opposition that comes to an earnest holy life, but a shout
of triumph at the end of the race. May this be our con-
stant prayer :
"Lord, give us such a faith as this,
And then, whate'er may come,
We'll taste, e'en here, the hallowed bliss
Of an eternal home."
These results were produced by the preaching and
experience of the baptism with the Holy Ghost. If we
examine Peter's text and sermon we find that it was one
of the straightest holiness sermons ever preached. His
text was from the prophecy of Joel- "And it shall come
to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my
Spirit upon all flesh * * And on my servants and on my
handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit,
and they shall prophesy." And the matter of his sermon
was the crucifixion, resurrection and ascension of Jesus,
who " being ' by the right hand of God exalted, and
having received of the Father the promise of the Holy
Ghost, hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear."
The error of present-day Christianity is not' that men
do not preach "repentance for the remission of sins"-
many even do not do this-but thattheymakeita finality.
very few preachers are calling men to repentance and
f'orgiveness so that they may be baptized with the Holy
Ghost, and as a consequence we find the low standard of
spirituality in the churches of today.
This kind of preaching is the glory and life of the
Church of the Nazarene, where sinners are not taught to
be discouraged by the high standard, but encouraged to
tiike the preliminary steps, so that they may ''go on
u.l;lt9 perfection," and enjoy the abounding fullness and
of the Holy Ghost. R. PIERCE.

ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye

school said faith is grasping with
the heart. What a gem of precioWI
truth is this. 0 that men would by
appropriating faith in the atoning
blood of Jesm1 sanctify the Lord God
in their hearts according to his word
and plan. Let us consider the pur.
chase price paid for man's inheritance:
"For God so loved the world, that he
gave his only begotten Son, that whoso-
ever believeth in Him should not per
ish, but have everlasting life (John 3:
16). Not only must the sinner make an
unconditional surrender of himself to
God, but he must in humble contrition
of heart pray as the publican of old,
''God be merciful to me a sinner,'' be
lieving in his heart every one that ask-
eth receiveth. John heard a voice CX
claiming, "Behold I stand at the door
and knock; if any man hear my voice
and open the door I will come into him
and will sup with him and he with
me" (Rev. 3 :20). This is the one and
only true and living way by which
man can overcome and obtain forgive
ness and cleansing from sin, both as an
act and natural depravity. It is then
and only then, when thus cleansed that.

THAT TIDE' OF WORLDLINESS.
Thank God for the relief that comes
when things are Qnce "more as they
should be. The tremendous flood of
worldliness that S'\'Vept over our city
during the past week has receded and
gone .. It may have beeu a good boost
for the material part of this city, but
it was fearfully blighting on the spirit-
ual life of people who were not estab-
lished in holiness. If the record could
be known as the Lord knows it, there
would be little room for doubting that
many a so-called Christian has been
greatly injured by having to mingle
and come in contact with such a tide
of godlessness that has carried many off
their feet. The effect is not seen among
the holy people, but with those former-
ly under conviction, and riot yet yield-
ed, they now seem to be without any
feeling or regard for salvation. This
should drive the holy people to their
Jmees and to prayer more earnestly
than ever, so that when the "enemy
comes in like a flood the Lord shall set
up a standard against him."

DUTIES OF THE SANCTIFIED.
1. Let your holiness be a practical
thing. Holiness is not merely an in-
ternal experience of cleasing . and
ecstasy ; it is an external expressi(,>n of
the same in which Christ is witnessed
in the 'smallest . and most insignificant
actions of the daily life. Unless our
outer life, as seen by others in relation
to the world, is a genuine counterpart
of the Christ-life within, our holiness is
a defective thing. It must be preached
from the housetop of our daily actions;
by our perfect obedience, our delight
and for service, our opposition
to all forms of sin, our practical sym-
pathy with tlie world ;s woe and suffer-
ings, our tranquility and triumph in
life's disappointments, and in the whole
spirit and manifestation of the life. ''
"By their fruits ye shall know them''
is our Lord's . rule for judgment, by
others. Be careful to keep the two
lives one ; a life, but a lived life !
2. Keep up your side of the con-
tract with the Lord-a perpetual and
entire devotement of yourself to Him,
with a faith as perfect, and undoubt-.
ing. 'rhis is to be the habitual and
momentary attitude of your soul. Then

Nazarene Messenger
and we are 'Under the complete govern-
ment of the Holy Spirit. Our aim in
the justified life was to obtain perfect
deliverance from sin, now it ought to
be to "be preserved blameless and pre-
sented faultless." That is God's part
conditioned on our faithful perform-
ance of our part of the work. Failure
may come .' by withdrawing our
consecratiorl or failing to continue
"looking unto Jesus the author and
finisher of our faith." What we need
and most prayerfully and continually
to watch is not so much our former ele-
ments of danger, or the lives or atti-
of other persons, . as to keep our
eyes on Jesus, the Preserver and
Keepe_!.: .;
3. A void all things The
Holy Spirit is a faithful guide to all
abandoned completely to the will of
God. If we follow His leading we shall
be enlightened on the proper course to
pursue. Often you will be confronted
by things said to be "no harm," you
will be placed in critical places hard to
decide, you will be met with . the wis-
dom and maxims of this ' world. Be
careful! Here is one of Satan's
ing wedges ; he will do his best to entice
you from your steadfastness in this
w'ay. The railway rule is a good one
even in the Christian life: "In case of
doubt take the safe side." Under the
influence of the Spirit it is impossible
to decide against God's will without

4. Be watchful for new light. The
state of sanctification is one of pectJ.liar
illumination, but it is more a capacity
for light, as it could not be in the mixed
state of .heart of the justified life. We
are where we can be led and taught
concerning ourselves and. the' truth of
God. There are some things which we
do not always see at once to be con-
trary, it may be, to the Divine will; this
is not a sign of superficial work always;
the true test of the genuineness of the
work is our perfect willingness, with-
out controversy and hesitation, to fol-
low all the light the God gives us. Per-
fect purity is demanded in the motives
and not perfect wisdom in our life;
consequently we must seek continually
to secure greater light. This is con-
ditioned on both the of our heart
in its deafness to all but the voice of
God, and our earnest endeavor to use
all the means given us, viz, the
ing and of the Scriptures, the
counsel of more 'experienced Christians,
the providences of God and the best use
of our own mental facUlties.

5. A void extremes. Holiness is a
pre-eminent experience and needs to be
pressed, be careful to keep from
pressin.g it beyond bounds so as to repel
those who might be reached otherwise.
' The Christian life is a sym10etrical
whole, each experience having its place
and importance. It is .quite natural for
one just obtaining the light of this
blessed truth to appear over-zealous in
its advocacy; unless we are careful it
will overshadow every other truth anrl:
duty. The only question that we need
to keep settled is its full enjoyment
and our perfect fidelity in testifying to
it; we cannot go to extremes on that
life.--J osephus Stephen.

DR. E. F. WALKER'S LETI'ER.
From Delanco I went to Camden, N.
J., just across the Delaware from Phil-
adelphia. Here we have a church
which in membership has multiplied at
least three-fold within the past year.
Rev. J . T. Maybury is the faithful and
efficient pastor. With him are united
in the work of spreading and conserv-
ing holiness a reliable band of men and
women who are really living in the
practice of self-denial for Jesus' sake.
And with them are joined in heart symc
pathy with the holy cause, a number
of persons who are ecclesiastically con-
nected elsewhere, but who acknowledge
that their hearts are with us. Doubt-
less many of these soon will join with
head and hand . . All over this country
and in other lands there are multitudes
of-like precious faith who are like these
Camden sympathizers. But they are
coming. As a rule the holy heart is in
adva;1;1ce of the head and hand ; hut it
leads on.. Blamelessness precedes and
longs for and prays for faultlessness . .
A clean heart ministers to a clear head,
and helps the hand to find it is
to do.
It was a great delight to spend a
. night with our people at 'Camden, and
preach . to an interesting interested
people who filled the large hall. The
Lord is with ' that pastor and flock, and
we shall hear of the pleasure of the
Lord prospering there.
Last week I made a brave effort to
rest. twas quite worn with travel and
constant meetings. Having a few
that seemed to have been reserved for
this purpose, I hied me to a little coun-
try town where I spent two or three
days working hard at recreation. But
it was. of little use. I continued rest-
less, and gave up the attempt. There
was a holiness camp meeting about fifty
miles away, and to it I went, not as'' a
worker" but as a visitor, uninvited and
unexpected-the first time . in twenty
years such an experience was mine. But
thank the L_ord, I was not unknown nor
unwelcome . . people had "heard
of" me, and they urged me to stay. I
did not need much urging, and went

We are 'W:ithin a mile of the famous
old camp meeting ground, Pitman
Grove. At that place it was my privi-
lege many years ago to preach full sal-
vation to multitudes, and to see people
gloriously sa1;1ctified during the preach-
ing of -the Word. The place is now
quite a city of cottages and fine rest
deuces-a sort of summer resvrt for
Philadelphia Methodists. There is still
some room for full salvati9n meetings
on the grounds during the camp mellt-
ing season ; but the old distinguishing
doctrine of Methodism is far from the
place it once occupied in the attention
of the people. Then it was the rul.e,
now it is the exception. The old battle
cry of "Pitman Grove and Power" is
little heard in tbes.e . dayE!. . Alas that i_t .
is so ! But it is thus with not a few
of the formerly great camp meetings.
And it ever will be thus, except where
the interests of true holiness are so
guarded that all commercial spirit a111l
denominational pride and starring pul-
piteers, and suchlike thinks that grieve
the Spirit of Holiness, are constantly
and utterly ruled out. .
While here 'during these two days of

. SURREY, N. D.
At the holiness camp meeting at Saw-
yer, N. D., we had one of the best camp
meetings I have been to for a long time.
Bro. Will Huff was our evangelist, and
he did preach the Word with the Holy
Ghost sent down from above-many
clear cases of conversion and sanctifi-
cation. Sinners would come to the al-
tar and pray a while, and would go
down in their pockets and bring up the
tobacco sack and pipe and lay them on
the altar, and pray through to Yictory.
The Holy Ghost was upon the meeting'
from the very first and the last night
was a wonderful outpouring of the
Spirit upon the saints, and sinners
prayed through to victory, and the
tabernacle was packed to the overflow.
Bro. Huff took his text from Rev. 1:7,
and brought us a message on the second
coming of christ, and. the Holy Ghost .
came down in great power and filled
the tabernacle with the glory. of the
Father.
we' are looking forward for O'!lt: God
to do great work in our midst this com-
ing year. We will open up for a tent
meeting at Veha, N. D., commencing
July 30. We have been asking the Lord
for an opportunity to get iti place

EVERETI', WASH.
Upon looking back over the past. . .
three months we find it is some time
since we reported to the Messenger.
We moved to Everett April 15th, and
filled the pulpit_ here until the
bly, when we were called to this charge
for the year. We found a
small class of loyal Nazarenes and a
comfortable church building well on to-
ward completion. The class are stand-
ing by the work heroically.
On June 1st the church enjoyed a
visit from Dr. Bresee and District Su-
perintendent H. D. Brown which was
very helpful and encouraging to our
people and to all others who attended
the meeting.
On June 25th we were also much edi-
fied by a visit from- General
tendent H . F. Reynolds, who held a
meeting for us in the afternoon and
also in the evening. We have started
a Young People's meeting which the
Lord put his seal upon by giving us
one soul in the first meeting. A week
ago, Sunday evening, July 4th, three
souls were at the altar, one for pardon
and two for sanctification, . all getting
through; to victory. We feel that the
Lord is favoring us and the work is
going on. Our new District Superin-
tendent, Rev. De Lance Wallace, and
Rev. Tanner of Spokane were with us
over last Sabbath, preaching the word
in power and giving us words of en-
couragement.

FORWARD MARCH.
Holiness is in this world to s tay and
triumph. The battle is hard and long,
and there are many adversaries. The
worldly and satanic forces are strong,
. insidious, invidious and aggressive. The
leader-the devil-is wise and skillful
and alert. Every foot of ground is
contested by diabolical ingenuity and
power, with all forms of human power
in. alliance and co-operation. But
Christ's way of divine worship and
sacred service-Calvary and the resur-
rection forever . r eincarnated, by the
divine Person tl:te :):!Qly Ghost--ass11res
victory over all.
We are to look the enemy in the face,
study to know his devices, and while
we may not measure his power, be as-
sured that the ''Conqueror from Boz-
rah with dyed garments, traveling in
the greatness of His strength, mighty to
save," is fully able to put to flight all
the alien armies of sin and death,
worldliness and hell. There is nothing
pessimistic in knowing the strongholds
of the enemy and the fierceness of tli.e
encounter.
There is much being .said of our dan-
gers from an ethical standpoint, that
our ministers and others may fall into
sin, and that the cause be compro-
mised, and the army go down in defeat.
We are glad to see this danger empha-
sized and the ethical side insisted upon.
A sin'ful holiness is or would be a
stench in the nostrils of men. That
holiness makes pure lives, in thought,
Nazarene MeBBf!n.ger:
imagination and act, can not be too
strenuously declared. Holy living is al-
ways the result of a holy heart. A pure
fountain sends forth pure water. A
vessel clean within will not slop over
with impurities. The ethics . of holiness
begin in the cleansing blood and abide
in the . personal Christ living within.
But to really find the we go
much . deeper than ethics. The great
effort the enemy is directed at the
fountain itself. Our most vUlnerable
point is, to be like other people. To
have a king and be like other nations--
to have and be like other
churches, or like the many nice people
who compose them._ The great immedi-
ate peril of what is known as the Holi-
ness movement is the conforming on
the part of the holy people, especially
their leaders, more especially their
greater leaders, to the worldly ideals,
standards and notions, of organizations
and individuals who have large church-
ly influences. This at the same time
sets up and establishes cold, dead for-
malism, and robs the holy people of
power for victory. With the church
clothed upon with peiltecostal fire, the
fall of one into sin, like Peter or even
Jhdas, as sad and awful as it is, will
not much delay the fire baptized host,
but the army led into the ambush of
worldly tastes and formal standards,
thus robbed and peeled ;of its divine
glory and heavenly enthusiasm, and
there is soon certainty of defeat every-
where. By all means insist on holy liv-
ing, but above all let us see to it that
the outstretched hands touch the
Christ, arid that the divine virtue of the
personal Holy Ghost coines in and
abides, and that He is not grieved or
hindered by evil or worldly conform-
ity; but that the.:r;e is the continued re-
ception, through our Spirit-born . in-
tensity, new penteco8ts with 'the shak-
ing of the places and filling with the
Holy Ghost, together with the
ing speaking of t}te . with power.
The fountain of Goq's glory is to con-
tinually burst fol'th in and through us,
or the end would soon. come. May we
suggest : we are further along than we
were; the shore line is much extended,
and nothing but greatly increasing
'manifestations of divine glory will do.

SUBTLE TEMPTATIONS.
At every point along our spiritual
journey we need the guidance of God . .
Dangers are on our right hand and our
left hand, and it is only by prayerful
obedience to the of the Bible,
and a trustful yielding to the admoni-
tions of the Holy Spirit that we can
escape the ' snares set for our feet by the
satanic fowler.
That devout souls are subject to the
most insidious attacks, and that every
. duty has 'its correlati.ve danger, is evi-
denced by the fact that, even in gi v-
ing heed to the scriptural injunction to
"love our enemies," and to "resist not
evil,'' we are exposed to temptations
so subtle that only the grace and power
of God can deliver us from them. At
this point the path which we must tread
is very indeed; and the truth
on our right hand and the. counter-
truth on our lie in close prox-
imity to error.
To illustrate; we are to ''resist the
devil," but "to resist not sin," to have
the love which "covereth a multitude
of sins,'' and yet not to regard sin
"with the least degree of allowance."
We are enjoined to "judge not" that
we "be not judged," and yet in the
same chapter, Christ tells us that "by
their fruits'' we ''shall know'' men.
What does all this mean Y Are we to
cover up sin? Are we to refrain from
forming conclusions as to the real char-
acters of men, and definitely appraising
the quality of their motives, and the
rectitude of their actions Y Are we to
make no distinctions betwee11 good and
bad, truth and falsehood, sincerity and
hypocrisy y Are we to assume a supine
and passive attitude toward evil, per-
mit criminals to carry out all their
nefarious purposes, and let the world
go 'to the devil Y Are we to give all
our . money and property to the first
rascal that asks us for them, and have
nothing left for our families and for
the propagation of the gospel Y Are we
to like and esteem our enemies, ignore
their meanness, and enjoy their society T
Manifestly, all these questions must
be answered with an emphatic nega-
tive. The Divine love is not a namby-
pamby thing, which calls evil good, r e-
spects the devil, puts a premium ou
wickedness, neglects every obvious and
practical method of compelling mean
people to be decent, gives aid and com-,
.. fort to the eneniies of God, and exults
in the opportunity to hobnob with the
scum of society.
We are to hate sin with a perfect
July 22, .1909]
hatred. We are to turn away from it,
and absolutely refuse to give it coun-
tenance. And yet we are to love the
sinner, no matter bow badly he treats.
us.
JIIJIIJII
WHAT LOVE 18.
The remark is often made that there
can be no love without esteem. This is
absurd. The mother loves her way-
ward and willful though be be, axtd yet
she cannot respect him, for he has .
ceased to be respectable. God loves
men in all stages of their depravity, but
he does not esteem them. If a man lies
about us, we can love him, and yet
know that he is a liar. We love him,
but have no confidence in him. The
chief elements in the love which God
enjoins us to entertain toward our ene-
mies are kindness, pity, sympathy, ten-
derness and a strong and constant de-
sire to help them. This love does not
.imply a wish on our part to associate
intimately with our enemies, and a rel-
ish by us of such association.
The fact is that good men and wicked
men cannot really .. asso.ciate. They can
come into contact with each other at a
very few points, but cannot have the
slightest real fellowship. If such fel-
lowship were possible, it would be sin-
ful, for friendship with the world is
enmity against God. In the truest
sense of the word, the spiritual man
can only have spiritual friends. To-
wards all others his feelings are not
those of friendship, but merely those of
benevolence.
Even in this world a great and im-
passable gulf yawns between the saint
and the sinner. Their natures, their in-
terests, their desires and their ambi-
tions are diametrically opposite. With-
out the help of the Holy Spirit, it is
impossible for the saint to convey to
the sinner a single spiritual truth.
God 's.purpose is that we shall be like
him, and this will manifest it-
self in the form of benevolence, unsel-
fishness, and a willingness to yield to
others, where no moral compromise is
involved, and to sacrifice our own
rights, comforts and conveniences for
the happiness and welfare of our f el-
low men.

GOD'S WAY.
Brother T: W. Wood, _who was re-
ceived into the First Church on Sab-
bath last, has had during the last few
days a unique and blessed history, at
least it culminated in blessings. He re-
sides about twelve miles from Visalia,
Cal. He had been for some time under
very deep conviction- be being a back-
slider. On Saturday the lOth inst, the
conviction became so great it seemed
unbearable, and looking at his watch
he saw it was an bou.r and a half to the
time the train passed through Visalia
for Los Angeles. He hurriedly hitched
up his team, and drove to Vif!alia, and
putting his in a livery stable he
boarded the train, and the next morn.
ing was in Los Angeles in time fol" the
eight o'clock prayer meeting of the
First Pentecostal Church of the Naza-
r ene. He spent _much of the day in the
church, but seemingly made little pro-
gress. But at the Tuesday holiness -
meeting at the altar he was blessedly
r eclaimed. He said he was convinced
that it was the lack of being sanctified
wholly that led to his backsliding and
he must be a san ctified man. The
church continued to pray with him, and
on S1mday morning he came to the altar
and was blessed.I,r sanctified. He hopes
to bring his family down to Los An-
geles for a Sabbath in the n ear future.
He said that they had beard consider-
. able preaching about the gospel, but
that they had scarce ever._!leard the gos-
pel preached, and that he was anxious
that they might spend a Sabbath in the.
Pentecostal Church of the Nazarene.
As holy men are the seed of the king-
dom, we trust he may bring forth a
great crop in that country.

AT THE TABERNACLE
The Sabbath was a day. of deep in-
terest mid much blessing, with good at-
tendance all day. The 8 a . m. prayer
meeting and the 9 :30 Sunday school
were both large and manifestly under
the Spirit's hallowed influence. Dr. R
F. Haynes of Nashville, Tenn., preached
both at 11 a. m. and. 7 :30 p. m.
The morning sermon was on John
7:37:39, from which the great doctrine
of sanctification was discussed. The
t ext was found to teach the truth un-
der the symbol of "Rivers of Living
Water , " and this as a second definite
work of grace from the language ''but
this spake he of the Spirit which they
that believed on him were to receive. "
After discussing reasons for the delay
of the . Pentecost until after Christ ' s
ascension, entire sanctification was
discussed under the metaphors of
"Wat.er." It was stressed that this
water was (1) a cleansing element or
agency; was also (2) living water; also
that it was located (3) within, at the
very seat of our trouble ; ( 4) theri that
this living water flowed out from us,
emblematic of its altruistic nature.
5) That this pure water flowing out
from us was in nine streams or rivers:
(1) the river of love, (2) of joy, (3)
of peace, ( 4) long-suffering, ( 5) gentle-
ness, (6) goodness, (7) faith, (8) meek-
ness, (9) temperance.
Time permit ted of attention to only
the three first of these beautiful rivers.
From this array of metaphors the mar-
velous graces and energies of the Pente-
costal baptism were found to be strong-
ly set forth.
The evening services was on ''Sa-
tan's ]!'our Propo_sitions for Compro"
mise,'' based on the words ''there shall
not an hoof be left behind, ' ' found in
Ex. 10 :26. Pharoah was more typical
of Satan in his d exterous efforts to pre-
vent complete surrender to God in the
sinner's conversion. The position was
taken that Satan's work was to super-
induce partial or inadequate work in
regeneration as the . most . effective
means of preventing the personal ex-
perience and life of holiness ; that the
truly r egenerated hungered for God's
best, and were easily led to Pentecost,
and that Satan's most fruitf1,1l and
tragic work was in the region of the
antecedent grace of the new birth.
These satanic efforts of prevention were
discussed under the four proposition of
Pharoah that the children of Israel (1)
worship God in the land; (2) that they
go not far away ; (3) that the men only
leave Egypt for the wilderness, and (4).
finally that they at least leave their
flocks and herds in Egypt. Under this
imagery the four temptations to the
awakened sinner were discussed : (I)
That l!e be religious in the world, ig-
noring fellowship with any organized
body of believers; (2) failing here that
he go not too far if he will enter such
Nazarene Messenger
fellowship; (3) that if he would enter
fully such fellowship that only the men
go; ( 4) :finally Satan insists that they.
at least leave their flocks and herds
behind. The manifest purpose of Satan
being to induce .an inperfect partial
obedience.
The afternoon service was conducted
by. Dr. Bresee, who read the 27th Psalm
with some appropriate comments, after
which an impressive and helpful testi-
mony service was held followed by the
altar service.
During the day there were six defi-
nite seekers at the altar, all of whom
were blessed. - One brother was re-
ceived into the church-T. W. Wood,

SPANISH MISSION.
The Lord is answering prayers in our
behalf. Souls are being . saved right
along. We are endeavoring this sum-
mer to fill up the vacant seats of our
absent members who have moved out
to the fruit ranches. In order to do this
we must go out in the byways and
hedges and compel men to come in. We
had a blessed time in the open air meet-
ing at the Plaza. A goodly number
followed us to the mission. There were
seven or eight who bowed at the altar
as seekers after God, among .whom one
was an Italian who for the first time
had heard this gospel we preach. Two
other men found peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ last Sat-
urday evening. We give God all the
glory for what he is doing for us now
and are looking forward to greater vic-
tories. S. D. Athans.

A BIRTHDAY SURPRISE.
Last Friday night while tbe "herd
of antlered Elks," as reported by the
papers, was parading the streets of our
city, a procession of unique originality
was being formed at the home of one
of the members of the Compton Avenue
Church, composed of the lambs and
sheep of the flock, headed by a beauti-
ful quartered oak combination roll-top
desk and chair, borne on the strong
shoulders of about a dozen enthusiastic
men. As we neared the front door of
our beloved pastor, Rev. Lucy P. Knott,
singing, ''Come we that love the Lord,
and l et your joys be known,'' a light
appeared on the porch, and as the door
opened and our pastor caught sight of
the crowd of about 135, to say she was
surprised would be expressing it mildly.
After the presentation of the birth-.
day gifts, as ''Mamma Knott'' was try-
ing to express her thanks, with tears
streaming from her eyes, the Lord gave
her a vision expressed by this hymn:
' ' Oh, now sweet it will be in that beau-
tiful land,
So free from all sorrow and pain ;
With songs on our lips and with harps
. in our hands,
To meet one another again. ''
[July 22, 1909
Before we entered. the house she had
just come from. visiting a shut-in sister,
and was about to kneel down to pray
and praise at the family altar, and we
caught a vision of how Jesus will ap-
pear at some such unwary moment with
His rewards for His faithful bride.
Flowers seen and unseen were pre-
sented, and after appropriate hymns
and . testimonies from loving hearts
from the oldest to the youngest, the
gatheri'ng broke up at a late hour, all
expressing it the best celebration they
ever attended.

LONG BEACH, CAL.
After being three weeks with us, Bro.
.Summers has been unanimously called
by the church as pastor. Bro. Goodwin .
was with us Thursday evening, July 8th
arid gave us a good talk, and on Sun-
day, July 11th, Bro. Summers.preached
to a good congregation. Quite a num-
ber of new fac.es to b ~ seen, which is
encouraging, and no more than should .
he expected after the vigorous way in
which our new pastor has been getting
around over the country. His sermon
on the "The Law of the Spirit," Rom.
8 :2, was excellent, showing how God
made the natural or physical law as
well as the spiritual and we must recog-
nize and obey both if we wo,uld be prqs-
per ed and enjoy God's blessings along
all lines and be all around developed
people as God intended us to be.
In the evening, although the attend-
ance was small, we had one of our very
best meetings-a regular Pentecost.
The glory came down sure enough; it
was better felt than told. You would
have to be there to understand and
your heart open to receive a share.
Words are too poor to convey what the
glory is to a soul. Our God is march-
ing on. E . Todd.

of the people. Dr. Haynes has occu-
pied some of the leading pulpits of the
M. E. Church, South, and has been
. for several years in educational work,
of which he is fond and in which he
is proficient. He is greatly pleased
with Southern California and would
not, we think, seriously object to ex-
changing his long-loved South-land
for the still fairer skies of this El Do-
rado of the earth. The air of the
M. E. Church, South, has never been
genial to his earnest advocacy of and
testimony to the experience of full
salvation; but he has faithfully
to his guns amidst the continued bat-
tle. He returns to Nashville by the
way of San . Francisco, leavirg Los
Angeles on Friday of this week. We
are not without hope that we may see
him in this country again.

.THE SABBATH QUESTION.
Having noticed the advertisement in
the Messenger of the book, ''Seventh
Day Adventism Renounced, '' by Elder
,Canright, I wish to add my endorse-
ment to same, having r'ead the book and
believing it to be a complete refutation
of one of the most subtle heresies of the
times. I know how that heresy has
been used to impede, if possible, the
work of holiness, and realize the im-
portance of holiness preachers peo-
Nazarene Messenge"T
. ple .being well-grounded in the truth.
In this connection there: are two other
books I wish to commend, viz., ''Sun-
day, the True Sabbath of God," by S.
W. Gamble, "Sunday Is the Sab-
bath Day," by N. T. Whitaker. I sup-
pose the. Nazarene Publishing Company
1
would furnish them. . . They are well
. worth -a careful reading, and cannot
fail to help all those who wish light
on the Sabbath question .
Permit me, also, to call attention to
the fact that our common English Bible
should be sufficient to show any fair-
minded person that Saturday was not
the Sabbath of the Jews, except once in
a regularly recurring cycle of seven
years. The Jewish Sabbaths were fixed
dates in each month of their year, and
occurred on each day of the week suc-
cessively, like our Christmas day or the
F ourth of July. In Exodus 12 is given
the institution of the Passover, and the
tenth and fourteenth days of the first
month, the month Abil, are named as
days in which work must be done in
preparation for the Passover. Now on
the Sabbath no work was done, and as
once in seven years these days would
each fall on Saturday, they couljl not
have been Sabbaths in any year. Again .
in IJev. 23 :24 the first day of the sev-
enth month is named as a Sabbath, and
it may readily be seen that it could not
always be on Saturday, but changed
from one day to another with the
change o.f year. This is an interesting
study, and clearly refutes Saturdarian-
ism. H. G. Cowan.

HOLINESS BIBLE SCHOOLS.
To meet the need of thorough Bible
knowledge in the last fifteen or twenty
years Bible schools h ave sprung: into
existence. America has led the way in
this movement, and Great Britain has
more slowly followed suit. Much might
be said about these institutions as we
have studied them, particularly . in
America, but in this article we shall
confine ourselves to the subject of Holi-
ness Bible Schools.
Most thoughtful people will agree
that some measure of training in Bible
knowledge is very desirable, and even
essential. if people are to at their
best for .God. There are lessons we ad-
mit, which can only be taught by the
Holy Ghost Himself, others which are
learned by experience, but there is
much of inestimable value to be learned
in a Bible .school. We hear it said
sometimes that the man who has had
very little education and who is yet bap-
tized with the Holy Ghost is an infinite-
ly more successful worker for God than
the man of good education who is des-
. titute of this heavenly anointing. While
we thoroughly agree with this we would
suggest that the most effective worker
will be the Spirit-filled man who has
had an education which has made him
mighty in the Scriptures, able not only
to preach so as to -put people under
convi ction and get them to Jesus, but
able also to build them up in their most
holy faith. This can only be done in
the. way in which Paul built up his con-
verts in Thessalonica by opening the
Scriptures to them up_til they. i-n their
turn, sound out the Word of God in all
the region round about.
It is manifest that God puts no prem-
ium upon ignorance or idleness, nor will
Nazarene Messenger
the Holy Spirit teach us those thipgs
upon which, by study cand pains, we
may inform ourselves.
The great end of a Bible school then,
as the ni:ul?-e suggests, is to get to know
the Bible. A student from a theologi-
cal college recently remarked that he
was so busy studyill.g books about the
Bible that he rarely the Bible it-
self.
In Holiness Bible schools, at least, the
Boo}I: itself takes the first place. Stu-
dents are taught to know it thoroughly,
its history, its biographies, its types and
prophecies, its epistles, and last but not
least, its central theme, the gospel of
J esus Christ.
The great doctrines claim careful at-
tention. The young man who volun-
teered for the mission field, and when
asked for the leading doctrines of the
Christian faith replied: "First, to know
I am saved myself; second to try and
get others saved, " had, no doubt, what
the old Meth'odists call the root of the
matter in him, but something -more than
that was needed to fit him to preach to
others. All the great doctrines of our
faith need to be grasped intelligently
with the mind i'f we are to have a race
of preachers who can lay a solid foun-
dation to their work.
In connection with the holiness move-
ment, which is more and more coming
to the front in England, the absolute
necessity of having preachers and
teachers who shall be able to intelli-
gently propagate and defend Scriptu-
r al holiness is being increasingly felt..
This is the central aim of a Holiness
Bible school.
The study of homiletics is of infinite
value in teaching students how to im-
part what they know in such a way as
to attain the great end of all preach-
ing, i. e., the persuasion of the minds
and hearts of the hearers to accept the
truth preached. Members of the homi-
letical class are encouraged to make
clear outlines of addresses, are taught,
not how to take a text as a mere hook
upon which to hang a string of pretty
little thoughts of their own, but to get
at its teaching in all its fulness and
present it in convincing form to the
hearers.
Students are taught how to think
clearly. Some persons have a mind like
a rag-bag. It is full of valuable pieces
of information, but so disorderly that it
is difficult to find what is required. To
bring order out of such chaos is the aim
of a Bible school, and after a little
training in this direction young people
are often encouraged to find themselves
increasingly able to think clearly and
arrange their thoughts in an orderly
fashion . .
Of course a Bible school will not
make a dull man brilliant, but it will
help him to make the most of the tal-
ents God has given him. Neither will
it impart brains to the one whp has
none, though it may, and should, show
him the value of such training, and if
he is filled with the Holy Ghost (and
thank God all be so, brains or no
[JUly 22;. 1909
brains i) it may set him to work. with
his hands so as to be able . to help. some
with more mental capacity than he. to
get a training yv-hich will make them .
useful public workers for God, a train-
ing which they could not afford unless
helped by a generous hand. Let not
such an one then be discouraged, there
- are divetrsities of gifts still, but the
same Spirit1
A -holiness Bible school ought to be a
school . of the prophets, where instead
of being shut away from the sins and
sorrows of a poor, lost world, the stu-
dents push out into daily contact with
it, where they get the Jeremiah spirit
that yearns and weeps over sinners,
where time . is spent upon heart train-
ing, and there is much waiting upon .
God for those gracious renewings of the
Holy Ghost .which will keep the per-
sonal experience green and fresh. In
Elisha's school they seem to have com-
bined study with practical work under
the old prophet's eye, and one young
man at least, learned a valuable and
life-long lesson from his teacher as to
how to recover a lost axe-head, with-
out which his usefulness would have
been at an end. Such losses are not
unheard of today when. the devil is
busy among workers. The mod-
ern school of the\prophets seeks to help
its scholars to learn some of these soul
lessons, which, though passed over by
many, lie at the root of all true success.
The Holiness Bible School at Star
Hall, organized upon its present basis
three years ago, has done, and is doing,
excellent work. in the training of
women. It has a very complete course
of study, the lectures are given by com-
petent lecturers of both sexes, and are
attended not only by the students in
residence, but also by a number of
others who, though having home. ties
which demand their attention, yet come
several times a week, many of them at
some sacrifice, to attend the lectures
which they greatly value. In this way
the school has a wide, and we trust, an
increasing infllience.-M. A. H., in The

Our Young People
A BOY WITH TWO FACES.
I' ve heard about the queerest boy;
A boy that has two faces;
Oue face is round and full of joy,
As out of doors he races.
But when his mother calls him in
He changes to the other,
And that is long, and sour, and thin-
1 'm sorry for his mother.
A LITTLE CHRISTIAN.
A :ninister tells us of little Gertrude,
_who, when only five years old, climbed
upon her. father's knee, and putting her
arms around his neck, said : I
want to be a Christian."
''What do you think it is to be a
Christian 1 '' her father asked.
"It is, papa, to love Jesus, and try ,
to do what he wishes. "
It was not long before she under-
!!tood how it was Christ gave Himself
for us, and that God could now receive
and make us His own happy chil-
dren. Sne asked Him to do this for
her, and her prayer was answered. She
at once began to show by her life that
she had a new heart. She felt a love
fo1 God's people she had never felt -be-
fore. Her parents explained to her
about the Lord's Supper, - and she
wished to join the church and to be
allowed to obey Christ's command,
"This do in remembrance of me." She
united with the church when she was
eleven years old. At fourteen she was
a Sabbath school teacher, and took part
in the prayer meetings of the church.
She conducted meetings for girls of her
own age, and l ed a good number to
Christ. The question was, "What wilt
thou have' me to do 1" And the Lord
was ready to show her what He would
have her to do for Him and to help her
to do it.-Selected.
ONLY A BOY.
'!'here is a-striking story of a certain
missionary who was sent for on one oc-
casion to go to a; village in an out-of-
the-way corner of India to baptize and
receive into church fellowship sixty or
seventy adult converts from Hinduism.
At t he commencement of the
ings he had noticed a boy about fifteen
years of age sitting i:q. a back corner,
looking very anxious and listening very
wistfully. He came forward.
"What, my boy? Do you want to
join the church 1 ''
"Yes, sir."
''But you are very young; and if I
were to receive you into fellowship of
the church today, and then you would
slip aside, it would bring discredit upon
this church and do great injury to the
cause of Christ. I shall be coming this
way again in about six months. Now
you be very loyal to Jesus Christ dur- .
ing that time, and, if I come
... .
Nazarene Messenger
again at the end of the half year I find
you still steadfast and true, I will bap-
tize and receive you gladly."
No sooner was this said than all the
people rose to their feet, and, some
speaking for the rest,- said : ''Why sir,
it is he who has taught us .all we know
about Jesus Christ. "
And so it turned out to be. This was
the little minister of tlie little church,
the honored instrument in the hand of
God for saving all the rest for Jesus
Christ.-Selected.
DON'T DO IT "JUST FOR
Many young' people form habits
which cripple and handicap them for
life by doing things wherever they hap-
pen to be, ''just for now,'' thinking
they_ will pnt the book, the tool, the
letter, or the article of clothing, later,
.where it belongs.
When these young people grow to
manhood and womanhood, they find
anywhere, '' just for now,'' has become
a tyrant that fills their lives with con-
fusion and disorder.
It takes no more time or effort to put
a thing where it belongs, in the first
place, than it does later. .
Even if it costs you a little incon-
venience, at the moment, to put every-
thing in its proper place, to do _ every-
thing at the proper time, the orderly
and methodical habits which you culti-
vate in this way will increase your
power and usefulness a hundred-fold.
and may save you _much trouble and
mortification in the future.-Success.

HEALING OF THE MIND.
I kno'v a man who, though busily and
extensively engaged in Christian ser-
vice, was for long defeated in his
thought life. The evil word and act
were checked, but he could not prevent
his thoughts from ranging over forbid-
den fields, and consequently he was
brought into inward bondage and de-
spair. One night, at the close of a ser-
vice, as the congr('gation sang the well
known words :
"Just as I am, poor, "-retehed , blind,
Sight, riches, h ealing of the mind,
Yea ; all I need in 'fhce to find,
0 Lamb of God, I come-"

WANTING STRANGE POWER.
So many Christians lune a vague,
fantastic not1on of spiritual power. as
of some sort of galvani c shock , inst ead
of deep, humble in t h e heart to
go ri ght on doing God's will .
time ago, a good brother went to the
ch apel to make a fire and light the
lamps for a religious meeting. In a
few moments there came in a brother
who was always haiping on power,
power, arid if we had the power,
how the devil would tremble, "and
such like expressions. " At the same
time this man that a lways harped on
power was noted or being lazy, and
stingy, and shirking the plain, humble
dt1ties of life. So the other brot h er re-
plied, ' 'God has given us already the
power to go ahead arid do his will, and
what special power do you need just
now except the power for us to make
these fir es, and light these l amps, and
sweep out the house, and then when the
meeting begins, if we are right with
God, we shall have power to sing, to
to testify, to talk to souls, to r e-
j oice in God, and go right on doing
God's will.'' But the ot h er man was
too lazy to make a fire in the stove, but ,,
wanted some wild, strange, galvanic
shock to come on' him, t hat would make
him yell, and jump ov er the benches,
a nd frighten t he neighbors, and make a
big splurge, and show off what a tre-
mendous religion he had. These . two
men illustrate the different notions peo-
ple h ave of power. There are some peo-
promptly filled. For further informa-
tion write rhe Nazarene Publishing Co.,
