What Is Pharisaism?
Guy Mark Peai'Se;o


"He began to say unto His disciples first
of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Phari-
sees. "-Luke 12:1. .
!ro]HESE words reach back to a
lEJ scene which gives them a great
fullness of meaning. The Phar-
isecs, unable to trap Jesus in t heir pub-
lic Pncountei'S with him, seek now for a
more private interview, and one of
thl'lll nsks .Jesus to share __ the morning
meal at his house. Now he sits with
the gaze of thci1 unfricmdly faces
watc:hing him. ,\t the outset they are
honified at seei ng him take bread with-
_out first washing his hands. Their mis-
erable formalism had exalted it into an
act of supreme religiousness. They held
that it was hett<'r to kill a man than to
commit such a crime as that. They are
the more indignant because the offense
wns aggravated in every possible way.
The Pharisee always bathed himself
whenever he came from the market, to
wash away the defiling contact of the
common people; and Jesus had been
pressed by a multitude so great that
we read of them as having trodden up-
on one another in their eagerness to
get near him. He had cast out devils,
and in many ways hnd come into con-
tad with the undcnn. The guest s turn
to cnch other with eyes thnt finsh in
anger at this outrage. Jesus at. once
avails himself of the opportunity: " Y c
Pharisees make clean the outside of the
cup and the platt<'l': but your inward
part is full of ra\cning and wicked-
ness. ''
"And as lw said these things unto
thclll, the and the Pharisees be-
gan to urge him vehemently, and to
proYoke him to speak many things; ly-
ing in wait for him, and seeking to
callh something out of his month, t hat
might nccusc him. " Doubtless
th( indignation spread to the di8ciples.
John 's <\yes flash indignant. fires; Peter
cau scarcely r estrain his fury; and
.cvtry f ace is full of tender est pity for

Now that U.nhappy time is
ended. He comes forth again. Once
more he breathes. ' the. air of h eaven;
once more he meets the honest faces of
his disciples. We listen for a sigh of
relief, when, lo! he lQPks eagerly upon
his simple followe:t:a, and says to them
first of all, ''Beware- ye-ye of the
leaven of the PhariseetJ."
Beware ye-every 8ect of religion,
every var iety of character has its own
danger-perhaps it own form of Phar-
isajsm. It is easy for us to see the
Pharisaism of others. 'V e- can stone
the Pharisee in an indignant zeal- and
what then ? When the storm is over
and we have hurled the lightnings:
there stands the Master, with eyes t hat
sear ch us through, and, he bends over
us, and saith unto his -disciples, first of
all; "Beware ye of tlie leaven of the
Pharisees.'' We too may have our own
form of Pharisaism eating the life out
of us; spoiling all the T>eauty and bless-
edness of our religion: To those that
are nearest and dearest to him t his
word is spoken by the Lord himself.

What then is Pharisaism? We shall
mistake the whoie D}eaning of the
words if we think only of the coarse
hypocrite. who knows, himself
thnt he is n kmwc, weafing a piety only
t o hide his own foul purposes. Judas
was a hypocrite, but in no sense
a Pharisel'. The Phirisecs believed
themselves to be good people,
the only good people, the exalted favor-
ites of God, the very heirs of heaven.
The <nution will lose its forre if we
think only of the man who knows that
his whole life is a lie. :Pharisaism is a
far subtler thing than that. Pharisaism
is a poison germ that.:can only be de-
nloped in r('ligion. Here yon find it
in a religion that contr_bllcd everything
- a religion that was very earnest and
very sincere. 'Vith the Pharisee, reli-
gion was his one supreme thought and

ity. Religious. very r eligious indeed,
yet an utter stranger t o all meekness
and graciousness and self-forgetfulness.
That is P harisaism. Religion without
Christlikcncss.
, Is not this the supreme want of the
age, as indeed of all the ages T Alas,
that it should seem so far off! Churches
and ('hnpcls have y c-hymns, prayers,
2
missions, conferences, sermons, in be-
wildering abundance-but how want-
ing is the power that makes men Christ-
like ! Is it not even yet. a dream-that
because a man is called a Christian you
f!hall trust his yea . and nay as you
would another man's bond-to be sure
that the religious master will consider
his servant's interest as much as his
own, and that the religious servant will
do the work as well behind the mas-
ter's back as before his face; that . be-
cause a man professes to be a Christian
is he qi_ute sure to be generous and true
an.d brotherly; that because the man of
business believes in the Lord Jesus
Christ he shall be through and through
him an honest man, hating every lie as
damnabl e-the whispered lie, the lie
that is "well understood in the trade";
that every Christian is really and in
everything seeking first to live over
again the life of Jesus Christ.
And .if: our r eligion fail in this, is it
not all a failure? The end of our re-
demption is to r estore us to our first
estate, to the image and likeness of
God. .All things are at work to this
one end-that we be conformed to the
image of his Son. If we have not his
Spirit, we are none of his. If this like-
ness to our Lord be l acking, in vain we
plead our beliefs, our prayers, our rap-
tur'es, our associations, our gifts . . From
within the closed doors there comes the
answer, grieved, yet unalterable, I
never knew you. So rings the dread-
ful doom of t he r eligion that stops
short of Christlikcness.

.A GENTLE REMINDER.
I "onder how many dear r eaders of
t he Messenger each week pause to con-
sider the requests for prayer printed
therein. One dear brother having
struck a spiritual desert, asks that we
r emember him in prayer; another, for
a little flock somewhere who are str iv-
ing with God's help to procure a
much needed building for a church
home;, another for some one whom God
wants to heal, but is listening for earn-
est petitio.ns in behaJf of the afflicted
one. And so on each week new re-
quests from needy ones. The Holy
Spirit inspired the writer to take each
request separately, making a real heart
affair of it, that God might answer
these heart cries, and the promise is
that "where two or t hree arc agreed
touching any one thing" our God will
answer; and with another promise,
"while we yet call He will hear." As
we go in prayer for blessings to be
added to the lives of others, it keeps
our own hearts warm and tender, and
God pours the blessings in upon our
own souls ''even while we ask.'' Try
it, dear reader, and know of a: truth
whereof I write. C. E. Ely.

The Lord's. my shepherd ;
Down in the pastures green,
When all is bright, serene,
He feedeth me.
Now by the waters still,
Now by the laughing .r.ill,
Safe there from every iil,
. He leadeth me.
Jesus, I love Thee !
All that I have is .thine,
All that Thou hast is mine,
They love is free.
For me thy blood was shed,
For me 'thy form lay dead,
To me these words were said :
''Rise, follow me.''
Thro' life I '11 serve Thee;
Thou shalt h!lve all my days,
Thy na'me my lips shall praise;
I love thy Word.
My soul is on the wing,
My heart for joy doth sing
To Thee my Savior, King,
J esus, my Lord.
When man disowns me,
When friends misunderstand,
Foes mock on every hand,
To Thee I '11 cry.
There on thy tender breast
My soul shall find sweet rest,
While there by heaven blest
The tempests fly.
Goodness and mercy
Sm;ely will follow me,
And I shall dwell with Thee
For evermore.

May crumble and de<:>ay,
But I shall fly away

THE CHRISTIAN RACE. - Heb, 12:1, 2.
O. F . GOETTEL.
This text is addressed to believers
who have entered the race and are
pressing forward for the prize of the
high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
The pi cture here is drawn from the old
Olympi c games which '!_it' i held at
Atlwns in times of olcl: .... '-The term
"cloud of wi t nesscs" is drawn from
t he great r.rowds which wonlrl come to
see the races and matches held in the
Stadium, and as these were an incen-
tive to the races, so the great crowd
of saints on the golden shore looking
upon the Christian here below,
are an incentive and encouragement to
run the race successfully and win. The
race course brings to mind the Chris-
tian's course to heaven. The apostle
tells these peopl e that they are running
4, . 1909.
at a great disadvantage and also tells
them how they might .. run with more
satisfaction to themselves and greater
certainty as to final results.
First, the text brings us the picture
of the race course and the races. Some
good people who have been baptized
and take11 into the church, have talked
fluently about the Christian race, but
they are far from being among the
class. that Paul is addressing. Some
men who base their hope on morality
think they are in this race, bitt they
too are mistaken. The sinner can't run
. in this race for his feet are in the miry
clay. vVe first must be placed'on the
, ,rock Christ Jesus and have our sins
put under the blood before we can run
in this race. Another thing to notice
about the racer is, his forward move:
ment. No stand still, but a forward
going-a striving. It takes life and
push and energy to run the race. He
that endureth to the end shall be saved.
In the second place we are exhorted
to lay aside every weight. Every
Christian soon finds there are weights
which hinder his running and just as
these racers used to lay aside their
weights from the feet before the race,
so are we to lay aside the hindering
things which hold us back from being
at our best for God. With some it is
family cares, and they allow them to so.
bttrdcn them that they can not be at
their best for God and souls. Some
N azarencs allow the weight of church
problems to interfere and burden them
so that they lose the blessings of God.
vVith many it is the hurry of business.
\Ye get in a hun;y and push aside fam-
ily alt.ar at times and so we allow one
t hing or anot her to interfere with our
eloset devotion and duties and arc h in-
dered. Paul docs not say quit your
business or stop work ot let t he churdt
affairs go, but he docs want us .t.o lay
them aside by casting all our cares on
Jesus and give proper time to prayer
and med-itation.
In the thi rd place we are told we
can run t he race with patience if we
have the besetting sin removed. 'l'he
apostl e here docs not use the term sins
but singular s-i-n. Believers arc not
troubled with actual sins, for he who is
born of God doth not commit sin. I3nt
ther e is a sin principle, an unit that
lies back of and produces actual sins
which Paul speaks of. There is a some
thing in every regenerated heart which
Paul calls the "old man" or "sin thnt
dwelleth in me'' which gives us
trouble. Every. saved person realizes

it soon or later. God dedare!l in Ilos.
11:7, "My pcwple bnn l to l>adcslicl-
ing." Think of it, n.ot siuuertJ but my
people, a something which will bend
toward evil, a devilish twist in our na-
ture implanted by the devi l himself
which is contrary and seeks to get us
awtlY from God. Scores of souls have
fell down right here because they
would not this " besetting sin" re-
but on the other band many
baYc obeyed and are now running the
race with patience.
1\ nd lastly Paul says, now that you
ban: the besetting sin removed, "Keep
looking to J esus. " Be fixed in. purpose
and ai m. Don ' t look at the c rowd of
the world but be fixed in purpose and
ailll and look to J esus. It is not a ques-
tion if they are right or wrong, but do
tlu.' help or hinuer . Don't turn aside
for anything l10wever alluring-like

bound world, the One who triumphed

WE NEED PASTORS.

causc the conditions wit! not admit of

di tions change, to continue doing these

and possibly cause the failure of the
entire enterprise. Of course the begi n-

mnst go out and get people into th e
experience. And we shall never be able
to dispense with the spcnial evan gelist.
1-I P. is an essential to our work nnd
always will be. But when by the r evi-
val a number of p eopl e are brought
into the experience, to go off and lenve
them to drift is to make the revival a
failure in the end. How often we have

might' have been hud more care been
given to the organizing and feeding of
t hose receiving the experience.
To properly care for t he results of
the r evival calls for church es and p as-
tors. For a time a .pastor-evangelist
may do the work, but there comes the
time when to continue this will mean
the 'failure of the church. Let us be
careful just here. I h eartily join with
District Superintendent J ernigan in
his statement that we now need pas-
tors, not pastor-evangelists.
By I do not mean some one
holding a position bearing the name
pastor simpl y, neither do I mean a mere
resident preacher, but someone who
knows what a . pastor ought to do,
knows how to do it, and will do it. But
to do this calls f or more than the man.
It calls for churches which will so sup-
port t he pastor as to allow him to give
his time to the work. And by this I
do not mean five or six churches going
together and supporting one pastor.
This may do for a little while where
nothing better can be done, but no
church can make inueh success for any
length of t ime with preaching only
on<e per month, and but little pastoial
visiting. And no pastor can suc<:css-
f ull y work more than two churches,
and in fa<:t if he docs all that should be
done, one will keep him more t han
busy. \Ybcrcver possible each church
should have a r esident pnstor. I1et us
work t oward this as fast as possible. I
am persuaded we must g ive more at-
t.0.nt ion to pastoral arrangement and
support if our work is to be the perma-
tHnt s nccC'ss that it should be. Thank

A HOLY LIFE.
What in its trnc sen se is a holy life?
I t is the life of J esus. Ilis whole man-

vised Version : .. Like as He which
called you is holy, be ye yourselves a lso
holy in all manner of living." We, as
Christiana, are God's offspring and as
such arc like Him.
Holiness in the life of Jesus is found
not only in the great miracles which He
performed, but . also in the l esser hap-
penings of His life. The r estoring of
life to t he dead is no more bcautifnlly

We are having a very gracious rev.i-
val of 1;eal old-time power in this city
and people are being brought face to
face with the fact that the God that
saved Daniel is still saving from a
worse fate than that of the lions' den.
Every Friday for at l e'ast four weeks
be!'ore our meetings commenced, we
fasted and prayed that OlJl' God would
.. give us an old-time revival and save
snd sanctify the people. On October
] 5th Rev. D. A. Hill of Columbus,
Ohio, and Rev. Dr. D: F . Brooks of
New York, the veteran .holiness t0acher
a.nd evangelist. arrive'd and opened the
battle in our little church. Bro. Hill
preached at night anrl Bro. Brooks gave
his Bible readings in the afternoon,
This was the order of the meeting
1.hroughont. with a slight change now
and then as the Spirit led. They
shelled the woods and by Sunday night
made an altar call and from that time
on the altar was filled with seekers and
the battle was on.
On Tuesday night Bro. Hill told the
story of his life, and as he talked t o
people (the was crowded to the
doors) of his mother's love and prayers
for her boy, and portrayed .the power
cf the drink demon, people an over the
honse wept and when the altar call was
made the altar was crowded with seek-
ers. No tongue can describe the scene
1md no pen can portray the effect. Like
Bud Robins.on, there is only one Dave
Hill.
But the best of the wine was kept
fo11 the last. Sunday morning we had
arranged for the baptismal service and
we went according to our church :Man-
nal. Bro. Brooks was to preach after
the baptismal ceremony. But the Holy
Ghost fell upon preacher and people as
Dr. Brooks was administering the rite
of baptism to the infants, and he was
so filled with the power of God he eould
hardly proceed ; and Bro. Hill "as
blessed and the saints were weeping
and shouting and God was there in
mighty power. After the baptismal
service we had t he communion of the
r.,ord 's Supper. This also was a time
of shouting. a time of power and glory.
It was at this time Bro. Brooks said he
had heard from Heaven and would
obey. He announced he would join the
Pentecostal Church of the Nazarene at
the evening service. The afternoon
meeting commenced at 2:80. Rev. D.
H. Hill preached and the fire fell and
the altar was filled., .
The evening commenced at
seven o'clock aild- the house was full
and overflowing. Every seat was filled
and many standing iri tlie back part of
the church and the vestibule crowded.
At this time we announced we would
take in the parties wishing to join our .
church, and Rev. Dr. D. F. Brooks of
the rroy, N. Y., of the 1\L
E. church stepned ont from the pulp;t
anrl. -himself at the altar rail;
with J;im came three others. My what
a shouting time we had, and after the
saints shouted and marched around
welcoming 1nto our church the new
memhP-rs we sang hymns and Rev. D.
A. Hill preaclu!d . 13ro. Hill preached
on Eternitir. and how he did portray
f\ternit.y fol' snint. and sinner. He held
.the nndienM spellbonnd for more than
1111 hOill' llS he poured Oll the truth to
that. d:ving <>ongre<rat.ion. and when he
ma(\1' t.he altnr <>all t.he altar, which was
a small one, was filled two and three
dePp.
Bros. Hill nnd Brooks say they never
!-.aw SU<'h a dlly for <'Ontinnous power
from .till night. and it was the
most blessed communion service of
their lives. Tl1e. meetings will cont.inne
unt il Vl ednesday even with Dr. D.
F. Brooks in charge. At last night's
meeting we had five at. the altar. two
of whom, were beautifully sanctified.
To Jesus be all the glory. Pray for ns

Sunday, October 17th, closed a pre-
cious and enjoyable week. District
Superintendent C. A. Imhoff held a
short series of evangelistic services in
the Charles Street Gospel' Mission Hall
at Canton, Ohio. at the close of which a
Pentecostal Church of the Nazarene
was organized. A good-sized class en-
rolled as charter members, and the out-
look is very bright for a real strong
membership in the near future. Rev.
Arthur Bosler, a young holiness preach-
er , full of fire and the Holy Spirit. was
chosen as pastor. Until a permanent
place of meeting is established. the
chnrch has arranged .to r ('nt t he mission

some time in the future.

Since our last report we have had
two weddings at our church. On Sep-
tember 26th, Miss Maggie Rine, f1 mem-
ber of our church, to Mr . Bay. They
make their home in this city. On Octo-
ber 5th, Miss Inez Creighton to Nelson
' Franklin, both happy Nazarenes. These
Franklin. boys act as wisely in choosing
wives as they do in choosing religion
and a church home. They want the
best. We pray God's richest blessing
upon these happy young people.
We have j ust closed a ten days' meet
ing with Rev. Alpin M. Bowes. He
stopped her e to visit friends for a day
on his way to California, and w.e per:
suaded him to stay over and hold a
meeting for us. So the meeting com-
menced unannounced. Our congrega-
tions kept steadil y increasing up till t he
meeting closed. It was a meeting
bl essed of God. Souls were saved and
sanctified a nd the church streugthened
all love Br o. Bowes
very much and esteem ltim highly be-
cause of his sweet Christian character.
The Lord bless him and make him a

WHERE TOE FIRE FELL.
It was the prayer of J esus that his .
disciples might be sanctified that they
might be one. Surely the mind of the
Master . was that holiness would bring
a blessed unity among His followers .
Likewise, Panl, the great a postle, S;lid,
"Whereas t her e is among you . ...

So we may look to have the experi-

The difference between the two is
great. Thoughts of evil are purely in-

involuntary. The human intellect is
mysterious in its action. No one can
understand many times how thought
springs up in the mind. A train of
thought may be started independent of
the will and go on in spite of it. Such
phenomena of the intellect are no more
culpable than the circulation of the
blood through the arteries and veins.
Orie of the methods that satan en:iploys

THANK GOD FOR MOTHER.
After one of the hard fought
.of the war, a Confederate chaplain
:was hastily to see a dying sol-
di er. Taking his hand, he said:
"Well, my brother , what can I do
for you Y"
He supposed, of course, the young
fellow would want to cry to God for
help in his extremity; but it was not
so. .
said he, "I want you to
cut a lock of my hair for my mother
and then, chaplain, I want -yon to kneei
down and return thanks to God for
me.''
"For what?" asked. the chaplain.
''For giving me such a mother. Oh
she is a good "mother. Her
ar.c my comfort now. And then, chap-
God that by His grace I am
a Christian. What would I do now if
I were not a . Christian 1 And thank
God for giving me dying grace. He
has made this hard bed feel 'soft as
.downy P.illows arc.' And 0 chaplain,
thank Him for the promised home in
glo1y-I '11 soon be there."
"And said the chaplain, "I
kneeled by his bed with not a petition
to utter, only praises and thanksgiving
a good mother, a Christian hope,
grace and an et<>rnal home iu
glory. "-Selected.
A PRAYING BOY.
A gentleman was not long since
called upon to visit a dying female.
On entering the humble cottage where
she dwelt he heard, in an adjoining
room, an infant voice. He listl'ncd and
found it was the child of t.hl' pool' d y-
ing woman, engaged in prayer.
"0 Lord, bless my poor mother,"
. cried the little boy, '' nnd prepare her
t o die! 0 God. I t hank Thee that I
have been taught to r ead my Bible ;
and there I learn that when my 'fathl'r
and mother forsalcc m<>, Thou wilt. take
me up!' This comforts me now that
poor mother is going to me.
and helps me -to say, 'Thy will he
done !' "
He ceased, and the visitor opened t he
door, approached the bedside of the
poor woman.
"Your child has been praying with
yon," said he; "I have listened tQ his
prayer." .
"Y " 'd I k' . ff . :>ni s 1e, rna mg nn c ort t1.'

not fewer than thirty, I was sealed by
the Spirit in \1 soniewbat similur .man-
ner. While walking one -:lay between
and Newlyn: I was drawn to
turn aside .from the public road, and,
under the canopy of heaven, kneel
down to prayer. I had not long 'been
with God before I was so vis-
ited from and overpowered by
t he. D}vine , glory, that my shouting
l.'ould be hemd at a distance. It was a
weight of glotj that I seemed incapable
of bearing in the body; and I, there-
fore, cried ont (perhnps unwisely),
'Lord, stay Thine hand!' In this
rious baptism, these words came to my
heart with indescribable power, 'I
have !!eale<l thee unto the day of re-
demption .. ' Giving glory to my God, I
enn say, to the present moment, I feel
t he blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth me
from .all sin. I am become a living tem-
ple,. glorious all within. I can now love
God with all my heart, with all my
mind, and with all my sbeng.th. My
inward hea, cu of joy and peace was, I
think. ne,er so great as of late, 0 Lord,
help me to make some suitable return of
love and gratitude! 0 stupendous, re-
deeming grace. Feelingly I can sing:
' 0 Love, thou bottomless nhyss,
My sins are swallowed up in thee!

DOING AND KNOWING,
Doing a1.1d knowing are blood rela-
tions. Obedience is the organ of spirit-
ual vision. so Robertson reissued the
truth that. if we would know God's
doctrine, we must do His will. Experi-
ment and experience spring from the
same root, and will not grow apart.

fou sP.ENi> ETERNITY?
Eternity is duration without limits.
bas nor end. In
,we are told. there is a huge
and magnificent : diamond rock, where
it is said .a' certain bird goes annually
to.smooth its 6iU, and by time th:at
large rock is:wasted by this bird, eter-
nity may be considered but begun. 0
eternity! ; incoinprehensible word to
finite mind! : W:hat a very great sum is
a billion ! A million seems large
enough, but a: million of 1nillions, how
. long do you suppose it ta:Ke you
to count it Y A mill making 100 pins a
minute, if kept at work night and day,
would make only fifty-two million five
hundred and ninety-six thousand pins
in a year; and at that rate the mill
would have to work twenty thousand
years without stopping a single moment
in order to turn out a billion pins. And
yet when a billion of years shall have
passed, eternity 'viii seem to have just
begun.
With such an inconceivable eternity
awaiting you, dear reader, where will
you spend it? It is a personal and a
very question. The Bible speaks
ofbut two places. where soul s will dwell
throughout eternity-with God, or sep-
arated from Him ; among .the saints in
light. or in everlasting night with all
those who rejected Christ.
God. through the prophet, to
every unsaved soul. "Behold, 1 have
placed before you life and death.'' The
responsibility of the choice falls upon
the individual. " Choose ye this day
whom ye 'will serve." '(Turn ye, turn
.ye, for why wiU-ye .. die, 0 , house of
Israel?'.! ... "The . Spirit arid. the . bride

Rev. c:. L. PARIS, TEXAS, says :-"I consider 'Pentecostal Songs
of the Nazarene' the best Song Book we have ever had. It is especially
adapted revival work. It contains about forty new songstbathavenever
come to us before, as well as a choice lot of old, tried songs. There is a suffi-
cient number of older songs so that you will find no difficulty in taking the
book' riht. up in your church meetings. I would especially call to
No. 10, Brother Martin's 'Glory 8ong,' also No. 116, ' It's Real,' and No
. 120, 'The Year of Jubilee.' This is the song the New England girls sung. at
the General Assembly. .A1ao No. 136, 'MountiJ!g Up. ' This No. is oneof
the sweetest songs I have ever heard. These four songs alone are worth
more than. the orice of the book. It is just the book you need for your sum
mer meettngs . .,,
