It is not so much "dying grace " that we need but the
grace that doesn't die._
Stedfast unto Death.
How the heroism and self-forgetfulness of Jesus
shines out in His devotion to the accomplishment of His
great mission! As He nears the end of His earthly life,
with a full knowledge of the awful experiences through
which He had to pass, we have these words recorded of
Him: "When the time was come that He should be
received up, He stedfastly set His face to go toward Jeru-
salem.'' Before Him lay the agony of the garden, the
kiss of t.he traitor, the denial of Peter, the mockery and
of the soldiers, the jeers of the rabble, and all
the terrible sufferings of the cross; yet, with a full knowl-
edge of was coming to pass, He could ll)ok it_ all serenely
in the face and "stedfastly set Hi!} face" towards its
accomplishment. And this to purchase peace for us.
What a fibre ought t he knowledge of this to put into every
one of His followers! How easily are we 'turned from
stedfastness when suffering and self-denial face us; how
we avoid t he hardships and trial's of r eal service for our
Lord! How lustily we sing, " I'm going through, Jesus."
Well, is it so? Surely passage-way-to the throne is
by way of the cross. _
"Confess Your Faults."
the transgressor, there can be no reconciliation. Two
!tearts can never ''beat as one'' until all things between
are righted. 0 beloved, there must be an owning

fnaking up, and there must be a making up to feel good.
Now, isn't it so? Well, what about it?

of Bitterness.''
The Christian life is no slipshod go-as-you-please
affair. One who is going to make a success of it has a
-yery strenuous thing on hand. Evidently the Apostle
had. never heard of the "once in grace always in grace"
theory, for he enjoins a constant watchfulness, telling us
to "look diligently," lest we should " fail of the grace of
:God; lest any root of bitternes springing up trouble you.''
Wherever a "root of bitterness" springs up there must
be the old stump in the ground. It will not do to simply
get rid of the sprouts, but we' must -get the old carnal
stump rooted out. As long it remains there will con-
stantly be reasons for new sprouts to come out: for the
;unpleasant circumstances of life, the mean conduct of
-others t )ward us, the blasting of our hopes and failure of
' our plans, will be occasions for the putting forth of new
" roots." Thus the Apostle warns us. These "roots of
! bitterness" cause great havoc, for by them "many are
_defiled." A " root of bitterness" is a mother of revenge
: and robs the soul of all the sweet fruit of the Spirit.
. Brethren, let us heed the warning by-getting out the
. stump.
, .Self-Measurement.
A man who will not up" when he is wrong, is Evidently the apostleunderstood human nature pretty
a man who not only is tr:Ving to deceive others, but is well when he said, "Measuring themselves by
deceiving himself . If the confessions were as numerous ; and comparing themselves among themselves, they are
as the transgressions, this would be a good world to live ; not wise." This self-measurement is simply "commend-
in. But there are multitudes of professing Christians who one's self, and saying, "See how much better I am
say unkind things and treat others meanly and cause sor- { than the other fellow." They "stretch" themselves
to come to their lives, and yet go on indifferent to the- :: beyond their own measure, and ignore "the rule which
trouble they have caused, .even singing and whistling as God hath." There is certainly something wro!lg with
they go, and never confess their faults nor show regret : their measuring-rod, and likely they are like the httle boy
for what they done. I do not know how they are who told mother that he was six feet tall, and when
going to meet the Lord with the mountain of unconfessed she doubted his statement, he assured her that he had
faults standing before them. There is only one crowd for . just measured himself by his o-um feet . This stretching
them to find their place among. We have known people ourselves beyond our right measure, is sooner or later to

"A .MAN NA_MED WESLEY."

I saw, where Corn\vall 's headlands
made
The wide Atlantic's iron brink,
The sneering wrath of one who said:
"Hark, Sirrah! Tell me why no
drink
Is sold. through all this countr y side,
With churches filled by night and
day?"
-The smiling peasant straight replied:
"A man named \Yesley passed this
'vay.''
I looked far down the lurid past,
Ancl saw the creeds, in conflicts dire;
The chronicles of the centuries vast
\Vere streaked with blood, and
seared with fire.
But lo! .these foeman saw the glo'y
Of love's great dawn, and felt the .
sway
Of Christ the Lord for all men know
''A man named \Y esley passed this
way.''
'
I gazed toward heaven, in vision clear,
And watched the angel tall. who
waits
To welcome those whom God draws
near
That city with the twelve white
gates.
I spake to him, ''\i\That . strong soul led
To Jesus' cr oss this bright array?"
His smile broke glorious as he said:
"A man named Wesley passed this

THE .LAW OF AFFINITIES.
R. HURLBUT.
This law is as wide as the universe.
It is an agreement-a relation, a. con-
formity-as the affinity of sounds. of
colors. or of languages. In chemistry
it is the attraction that permits of com-
pounds. In the animal, vegetable or
moral world certain groups in families
or relations are permitted. We learn
how to control the electrical current by
knowing its affinities. The anointing
oil of the baptism will not mix or he
applied, where the waters of iniquity
are surging in an impure affection.
The sinner does not relish a seat in
the hallelujah corner. By . a law they
are unable to love the home of the puri-
fied. Impurityin them is outraged, so
/"they seek more congenial company.
This law allies the socialist and the
anarchist. A mob moved by one heart
and mind will sluff' off the pure and
separate the crowd. The maple and
the birch are trees that freely flow sap
in the spring-time, but the sap is as
diverse as the nature of the trees. The
Nazarene Messenger
nature of the devil, his kingdom, and :
his subjects have like affinities. 'rhe
sinner naturally gravitates downward
with all his crowd.
In my early experience I had a
\'ISion. The memory of it today is
very distinct. A wall of stone forty
feet high extended to the right and left.
This wall was perpen(licular and above
was extended a plain-the home of the
angels and the pure. I stood below and
sa" a pure worldling-the world is full
of them-who wished to live in t he
heavenly lmia above; but . to get there .
he cufniches in the wall and hand over
hand-went to a foothold above. I be:
held .an angel come with a chair, but
when he saw what dress sinning hac\
put upon him, backed away and left
him alone.
Then I remembeted Jesus had saicl',
"He that not by the door. into
the fold of the sheep, but climbcth up
some other way, the same is a thief and
a robber." It was a mystery why the
man at the marriage should dare to be
there without having on a wedding
garment. '' IJe was speechless.'' The
of the angels was to compel
him to gather with his
crowd. old sinner regenerated be-
comes a new creation. The old life
with its loYes out. In any case,
the unsaved sinner must experience the
fires of hell. It were a mercy to ex-
dude him from the purified for his own
sal<e. and for the sake of the saved.

God has wonderfully blessed us as a
church this last year. \Ve have not
only had a good, clean, sane work of"
holiness here, but during our short his-
tory God has used us to spread salva-
tion abroad. A young man and his wife
went out from us six months ago to
take charge of a run-down discourag-
-..ing work in Troy, Ohio. Scarcely a
week has passe(!.. since they left us but
they have had somebody converted or
sanctified wholly, new members have
been added to the church, and just now
they are in the midst of a glorions re-
vival, with Rev. D. F. Brooks and
David Hill assisting.
Next month two families leave us to
engage in the work of spreading scrip-
Naz a rl:n11 Messenger
tural holiness. One of them goes to old
Mexico, the other to Lynn, Mass., to
become pastor of our Pentecostal
Church of the Nazarene in that city.
In addition to .these we have a young
evangelist in the field, who was at the
. college in. \Vilmore, Kentucky, nearly
three years, and God is giving him
souls. Then we have two young men
stndying for the ministry, one at Mer-
idian Male College, Miss., the other nt
North Scituate, R. I.
And when all these are gone, to press
the battle elsewhere, we have about 100
t.rne. sonls left h<>re to pay. pray,
shout. and live holiness. Hnllcln.iah!

In t\cr_v problem there ' is on<' un-
known quantity. Probably the finding
out of the value of the u nknown quan-
tity solves the problem. This is espec-
ially true in Christian l if c. The un-
known quantity is what mak<.'s the life.
It is not diffi cult to form t h<' <'(!nation:
The problem
may never fnlh be solYC<l. \Yc may
Jll',:<.'r aitogt'th<.'r the valne
t he unknown but there can
be no getting on without the X. It is
easy to that X=Go<l . that
the unknown quantity t ha t mnk<>s our
lin's cffc<.' tive is th<.' DiYine
but what that r eall y means. and how
much its possibilities arc in the prob-
lem. who can tell ? It is easy to esti-.
mate the first factor "man, " for he of
himself is nothing; ""Without me ye
can do nothing." i\fan standing alone,
for Christ ian lif<.', is a cipher; and yet
a cipher can, on the right side, add
much, even mul tiply t he manifestations
of Di vi ne personality in the world.
\Vhile we my not know t he factor of
t.h(} Divine, nor how vast the addition
made to man by His union with him,
yet we may see t hat He alone makes
Christian living and ministry a r eality.
The more fully we realize the noth-
ingness of all human labor and effort,
that all our activities, all our works are
but the cold ashes of d eath; that He
alone is life, and. without iiim nothing
is done, either in us, or by us, or
through us, that there is no salvation
Nazarene Messenge,.
but hr His presence nnd ministry, and
that it is our one business and. aim, not
only to. be His rcprcscntn.tivcs, but in-
l'ar nations of Him, and avenues for
Him; the hct.tcr we shall be prepared
to Him, that He may live His
life in us and work th1ough us.
It is an unutterably snd fact that a
diYine salvat.ion hns so often been
tmncd into a human r eligion. Not
always nor usually, we t hink, by bad
intent: but by l\Icn have donbt-
1<-ss meant to serve nllll glorify God,
but. t ha vc fix ell the it eyes on
hmlwn and cart.hly forces and somces
of power, and have IIIHlertakcn to
mobi lize them as to bring to pass
the 1nds of making nH'n good, until the
wlwl< business is an earth-born affair;
nwu umlcrtaking to do what t he Holy
lws come from hcaYen to accom-
pli:-;h. How almost IIH.'aninglcss a nd
utterly powerless is cYeu a gol>pcl of
truth preached by a man without the
unction of God. This is t he sad lack
of our pulpits, and the very ideal has
largely died out of t he church. Truth
may interest and move t he sensibilities
a nd stir the emotions, but truth can-
not convict of sin nor draw men to
God, nor cr eate in t hem a new heart,
nor make for them a mount of trans-
figuration with the glory of Pentecos t .
Holiness is propagated in this world by
the Holy Ghost. The gr eat gift is to
prophesy-to tell out in the power of
the Holy Ghost, and with His unction
upon onr lips, the message of eternal
love. God Himself making it effective
t.o the awakening and saving and sanc-
tifying of human souls. Go.l in man
accomplishes His work in the
God never fails. As the rivers flow to
the sea. sometimes hindered hy up-
heavals and turned into this valley aud
that. but still flow on. so God in a
human soul finds His way to save.
''As the r ai n cometh down, and the
snow from and returneth not
thithC'r . . but watereth the earth, and
mnkcth it bring forth and bud, that
it may give seed to the sower, a nd bread

goeth forth out of my mouth; it s hall
not return unto me void, but it shall
a ctomplish that which I please, nnd it
shall prosper in the thing whereto I
sent it.'' \Vhen the Holy Ghost is
come He convinces the world of sin,
o'f righteousness and of judgment. He
works on unfalteringly, unceasingly
and cffc<tivdy. Jesus said: Lo, I am
with yon and if He is with us we shall
not ;lor be discouraged. Not us,

STREET MEETING.
\Vith hearts overflowing with per-
sonal victoJy, we are able to r eport
great victory and unity of spirit and
bnrd<'n of prayer for l ost souls at both
the morning and str eet meeting. At .
the street meeting the saiuts could not
have made a more earnest plea for lost
souls had they have known of Jesus
coming on the morrow. Let us not un-
derestimate t hese meetings, for
are following us to the church and find-
ing Jesus. The testimonies of our dear
brother s. Hunt, Matherson, Goosen and
W. E. Robinson brought tears to the
eyes of sinner s. The opening
message by Sister Davis was a heart
c>ry for the prodigal son that only such
mothcis can make whose hearts and
li ves have been filled and thrilled with
t he power of God. Would that we had
a t honsnnd street workers like Bro.
and Sister Davis. This street work is
JH'oving to be a power for good; and
tire faithful workers nrc true blue, for
which we give J esus all the glor y.

had gathered at the home of the new

welcome to . our church. There was a
prccious spirit of unity and fellowship,
and with such a company to stand so

COLLEGE NOTES.
EXPERIENTI AL DISTINCTIONS.
'l'\\'O rN:itntions wo1 postponed on
last Thm'sdny and the time gi_ven to
helping some souls to pray through and
gct. to Gt)d.
BY A COLLEGE STUDE NT.
\Vhcn a person has been convicted,
by the Holy Spirit of their need of
salvation, the first step to he taken is
that of Repentance. is un-
like justification, r egeneration and
sanctification, in that it is the work of
the individual. God cannot repent for
man.
D1. Brt'St'e, who hns so recently r c-
t:nl'llecl from his trip mnong the
dmnhts and Asselllblics in the East,
was in his class in Isaiah last
to the delight of us all.
A ft \\ IIIOI'e students haYC lll'!'ived r e-
<:<'n and we hea1 of others on the
fvr whidt we praisP. the Lord.
Gla<llr and inquiringly we look forwar<l
to the time when there will be a demand
for larger a ccommodations.
A enjoyable and profitable time
was had last Saturday evening when a
<,olored lady, Miss Diana B. .MeN eil,
110w taking post graduate work in U.
S. C., c-ame over and gave us a most
address on Africa and her
possibilities.
In two or thr ee instances recently
money has been sent to help a student
who was not able to do enough work
outside to pay expenses and stay . in
school. . vV e wish the gi could have
secu the blessing which attended that
givin.g at this end of the line. 'l'hcrc
a te still a few mo1c opportunities of
that kind.
The Greek meaning of repentance is
a "change of mind"-a turning from
sin unto God. The penitent is con-
s<:ious of sin and guilt, has deep heart
sorrow for sin, makes confession, resti-
tutio-n and abandons sin. To show that
repentance is the work of man and not
God, I would cite por tions of Ezk. 18:
:30.32, "Repent and turn yourselves
from all your transgressions,'' ''where-
fore turn yourselves and live yc." Re-
pentance precedes justification. Justifi-
cation is a diviuc act, whereby God for
Christ-'s sake forgives all past sin, mak-
ing us f tee from "the law of sin and
death."
Regener ation ;wC>ompa-nies justifica-
catioJ; but. differs in that it is a work
of g r ace wrought by God in t he heart
of the individual, while justification is
an act of God for the penitent. Regen-
eration. is being ''born again,'' the re-
ceiying of the divine nature as t he gift
. of God, being made "a new cr eature
in J csus," whereby "old things
mc pnssed away and behold all thi ngs
arc become new."
LNovember u ,
Repentance, justification and regen.
cr at ion all come under what is cotu.
monly ter 'mcd the first works of grace
while. sanctification is a second work
of grace, definite and distlna front the
former.
Sanctification is- t hat wor k of
which believers experience after


eration, or after t he heart has rc<'ived
the new .life in Christ J csus; but is not
yet free from t he sin pr incipal-car.
narity. Sanctification, instead of being
an addition to the heart life as


cration, is r ather a subtraction, pri111ar.
ily taking from t he heart of t he helicv.
cr the least. and last remains of' sin
eradicating t he old man of sin "t.llai
the body of sin might be desttoyed,
t hat hencefort h we should not serve
., .. sin." 1'his subtraction haYing taken
pla<'e the heart is left clean a nd pnrc

REV. C. L. SHELBY, PARIS, TEXAS, says :- "1 consider 'Pentecostal Songs
of the Nazarene' the best Song Book we have ever had. It is especially
adapted for revival work. It contains about forty new songs that h.we never
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 right up in your church meetings. I would especially call attention to
No. 10. Brother Martin's' ' Glory Song,' 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. Also No. 136, 'Mounting Up.' This No. is one of
the sweetest songs I have ever heard. These four songs alone are worth
more than the price of the book. It is just the book you need for your sum
mer meetings."
