Some Reasons Why.
I feel it is appropriate for me to give
some reasons why I am a member of the
Pen'tecostal Church of the Nazarene. I
was r eared a Methodist. :My ancestors,
as far as I know anything of them, were
all Methodists. I was converted at a
)fethndist monrncr 's ben ch. I attended
a Met hudist college; was received into
a :\lt-thodist Conference and served
\'arious charges in different parts of
the land for seventeen years. I have
no .word of <'Omplaiut as to the treat-
HJent accorded to me by Jhe church. I
feel t.hat oft en it was mu<'h better than
I desPrvcd. I haYc nothing but tender
love for all tl1e ministers and members
of the l\Iethoclist church. Our clear
Lord only knows what sorr ow and
heart-pangs it has rost me to separate
from t he ministry and membership of
the chnrch of my youth . As to doc-
trines cs!'lential to_sah-ation I am still a
Methodist , and will always be. This
brings me to my first r eason why I ani
a member of the Pentecostal Church
1f the Nazarene.
1. It fepresents, not only in creed,
but in practice, the faith in which I be-
lieve. It not only has 1 he statement of
the c>ssential doctrines of salvation
written in its book of discipl ine, but
they-nrc preached and ii1sistcd upon in-
every pulpit and by all the minister s
of the <'hurch. This <' lnirch overlooks
no essenti al doctrine, but it does give
special emphasis to the truth of this
presctit dispensation which is entire
sanctification, "without which no man
shall see the Lord." Jn Methodism this
has long ago l)ecomc a cl c-a d letter, but
in th0. PenteC'ostal NaznrPnc Church it
is a li ve issue. Becanse of t.hc-se things
.I am n. member of t hat r hnrch.
2. I am in the hccnnse I b e-
lieve the time has come " hen an organi-
zation is needed to <'onscrvc the work
of the holiness movement in the land.
We lwli cvc God hils rnisc- d np t he holi-
ness movement to spread Scriptural
holiness over these l ands, but it has no
way of taking_ care of its converts. To
send them back to the old churches is,
in most cases, like laying a live babe
on a dead mother's breast. Then ther e
are many wolves in sheep's clothing in
the land teaching erroneous and
cal doctrines, and many, who 'do not
starve and freeze to death m the
churches, arc l ed astray by these false
t cad1crs. \Ve believe God has raised
up the Pentecostal Nazaren e Church as
a fold where the sh eep and the lambs
ma:-- be sheltered from the "seducing
spirits" who are teaching the "doc-
trines of devils, " and where they may
aliO lo"eb tbe

self for it, tbt be mtgbt
sancttf\? anb cleanse tt.

be fed on t he sincei'e milk and the
strong meat of the Gospel.
- 3: - T a in in this cl\urch because it
does _not in the least approve or coun-
t enance . worl dliness in any form. It
not only pnts itself on r ecord in its
(' reed against worldliness, but demands
of all who come into the fellowship of
the c>lmrrh that they; separate them-
selves and kec-p then\sclves separated
from all worldly pleasures in whieh a
Christian shonld not epgage and " hieh
do not tend to the glory of God.

offerings for the Lord's work.
4. I am in this church because it
will receive none but r egenerated per-
sons into the membership o_f the church.
The churches of today have indulged jn
the practice for so long of taking un-
saved persons into the church that they
ar e fill ed with a body of death, and the
majority may well be described by the
words found in Proverbs 21 :16, "The
congregation of the dead."
5. I am in this church hecanse I be-
lieve it is at t he front where God is,
where the enemy is and where the r eal
battle is going on. _ '\Ve f ear most of t}le
churches are on dress _ parade or in a
sham battle with an imaginary foe. The
Pentecostal )I' aza r ene C'hurc>h is prose-
cuting an unc-ompromising war against
all si n and it offers the onl y remedy,
v1z: - "The blood of the Lord Jesus
Christ , '' that C' leanses from all sin. "
Therefor e, I am with that church .
6. J .. astly, I am a member and a min-
ister of the Pentecostal C'hurch of the
Nazarene because of the conviction that
it was God's will, and because of the
providential lcadings of the Holy
Spirit. He opened the and He
called me t o enter t he open door. With
rriy 'family -i was' received into' the fel-
lowship of the ehurch nt Seymour, I nd.,
September 21, 1908, by Rev. H. F . Rey-
nolds, one of the General Superintend-
ents of t he chnrc-h. God has been with
me and greatly blessed my soul and
humble ministry since coming into this
church. The prc-sc-n('e of our atl<.' rable
Lord n.hides "ith me now. He is t he
fairc-st among t c-n thousand and the one
altogcthc>r l ovely to my soul. Ilc bc-
t' omes dtarer to me Paeh passing clay.
His hand beckons me onward. aml my
heart snys willingly and j oyfully :
'' \Vhr rc He leads me I will follow,
I ' 11 go with Him, with Him nll t he
way."

FOLLOW THE NAZARENE-
JOHN S. K.EEN.
'rhe la,Ys of the Old Testament, with
th eir promises and tlneats, base their
demands on temporary good and evil.
Except a few passages in The Psalms,
and fewer in The Prophets, thl' Old
Testament offers only earthly rewards
for obedience to God, and physil)al evil,
including physical deatl: . fer disobedi-
ence. If any one questions this state-
ment, we refer him to any and all the
promises and threats of the . Old resta-
ment. This fact, however, dOl'S not
prove that the Old Testament does uot
teach that men will live after leavi1 .g
this world. But one reading the Old
'l'estament without.. any lmo"\v1edg:P. of
t.he New Testament wou! -1 have to get
into vital., communion with God to ar-
rive at a satio;;factory belief in a life be-
yond the grave. 'l'he 28th chapter of
Dent. is a fair specimen of the rewards
and penaities offered for obedience and
disobedience. Every blessing promised
to the obedient is for earthly prosperity,
and every penalty . for disobedience is
for earthly evil.
\Vhen we come to the New Test!'J.ment
we not only find blessedness after death
promised to the righteous, and punish-
ment after d eath pr omised to the
wicked, but we find the Old Testament
promi ses of earthly prosperity for
obedience cancelled, nay, r eversed.
The New Testament introduces us to a
Nazarene Messenger
richer spiritual life, but the Giver .of
it conditions it upon the loss of this
life.
1
'1 any will come after me, let
him deny himself, and take up his
cross. \ Vhoso will save his life shall
lose it; and whosoever will lose his life
for my sake shall find it. " This utter
abandonment of one's self to the loss of
this life, or rather .to a life. that involves
the loss of this life, is the key to the
privileges of the new covenant. Jesus
himself taught it, exemplified it in his
life, inspired Matthew, Mark and Luke
to record it. The Spirit wrote it on the
hearts of the Pentecostal church. It be-
came incarnate in Paul-he preached it,
wrote it, lived it, and died in it.
It is not the purpose of this brief
article to discuss the why God did not
say more in the Old 'l'estament about
the future life, bnt suggest that the
preacher now dare not offer earthly
prosperity as a; reward of becoming a
follower of Christ. Such preaching is
IlOt only without New Testament au-
thority, but is contrary to its letter and
spirit. Jesus had many applications
for membership in His company, but
His ans,yer was, ''Sell all,'' followed by
His experience. "The Son of man hath
not where to lay His head. " . One of
t he greater evidences of t he departure
of the .church from the Spirit of Christ,
and the teaching of the New Testamei'i t
is their effort to make the chur ch at-
t r active in order t o draw t.h e people to
it. Let Nazarenes follow the Nazarene
1n life and preaching.

PRACTICAL HOLINESS
j_ N. SHORT
I was about to place for a to
what I might say, "Per sonal Holiness."
But all Bible holiness is personal. 'rhen
if it is personal it is practical. .Jesus
said, ":\[ake the tree good that its frnit
may be good.'' He said, ''A eon1tpt
tree cannot bring forth good frnit. ''
'!'hen it " as true t hat , ' )\.. gooll tree
could not bring forth corrupt frnit."
It is P?ssible t hese phrases may be-
come k0
1
familiar beCatlSe of repetition
that they. slip on onr tongue with little
t hought. It is said, breeds
contempt." If one had a vigorous ap-
petite wonld familiarity breed con-
tempt 1 If one were weak and s irkly,
haYing no appetite, they might come
natnrally to lt ave a contempt for it.
So hearing holiness preached, not r e-
ceiving and utilizing it, might easily
produce contempt in the hearer. By a
natural law they become hard-
ened against it.
[September 9, 1909
' Certal.n phrases des_criptive of this ex.
perience constantly used, when not
r eallJ7 descriptive of present experience,
come to be mere cant, and nauseating
to those who listen. It is only when we
are deeply interested in anything, and
work it with satisfactory results, that
we are enthusiastic.
If I have the experience of holiness,
and r ealize its. powt:)r in my life, if I
preach it to others constantly, if they
do not receive the truth it will become
distastefnl to them, they will become
hardened under it, it will become a
savor of death unto death. Constantly
hearing this truth, and treating it with
indifference, hardens t he heart. This
tluth to be a divine inspiration must be
.received and worked, in the heart and
in the life.
I must then love God with all tny
heart, and my neighbor as if he were
myself. I mean this must be a fact n nd
not a theory with me. I must have t he
Spirit of Christ. The Spirit that "as
true in Him must be true in me, nnd
" ork in the same 'yay, ancl to the sn llle
end. Professing holiness, not haYing
this Spirit, I lie and do not the truth.
A glib tongue and loud pr ayers will not
make up for t he absence of t his Spi1it.
I mi ght be slow of speeeh. "not gifted
in prayer" ("hat a discordant
and yet the beauty, glory and po,Ycr of
this truth, might burn with a stei1c 1_,.,
in my henrt.
Bnt if 1 his is true. I wi ll act so. i
wi ll be true to the of t lt,st
Y>ith whom I have to clo. nnrl whOJII I
may influence for time and eternity to
my o"n cost. I will seek not my o,-.n,
bnt another's wealth. I will haY<' a
jealous regard for the influen ce of
IllY spitit , '"orcl;; an<l life in holi ness as
affect ing others.
It '"ould be a question to a,.: k,
my l ife speak so loud that lll CJJ
caunot hear what I say 1 If through 1 he
influence of selfishness, j ealousy, s(' lf-
seeking withm1t r eference to the w.-11-
being of othl' rs, judging and misjutl g
ing others to their hurt, the spiril I
have within me proves, if I profess holi-
n ess, I a m a hypocrite. If I do not ol,cy
I do not pra:v. 'rhcu the sounding brass
and t h e <langing cymbal become so
lllanifcst that it is spiritually nausrat-
ing to those who' know me.
'l' hen if I have this trnf-h in my l1rnrt
and manifest it in my life, and pre:nh
it to others, if they do not get save(l it
is because they are occupied with other
things, and .do not receive the trnlh,
but do harden their hearts. "It is t hen

life or death, and we may w'ell ask,
"Who is sufficient for these things 1 ".
But professing it, if it does not work
in. my e_xperience, if it does not work as
a movement in the local and general
chlll'ch, there is a cause. Then with all
the loud talk and high profession if not
bcfotc, when we come to the judgme1it
seat of Christ, it will be revealed who
rej ected holiness, who had the theory
and sounded the changes on it and who
di(J have the Spirit of Christ and who
walked as he walked.
'l'he preacher and each individual
mcn1 bcr of the church will be there.
. And then we. take our place at the
ri gid hand of God. with the apostles,
or at the l eft hand with. Judas because
we loved something else better than the
trul h as it is in Jesus.
For some reason the cause of holiness
docs not advance in my church as God
. I
has purposed in Christ. Does it in
yours ? Does it generally ? \Vhe is re-
sponsible? The responsibility r ests
so111 C wher e. .Arc you, am I, willing t o
fn ec our r esponsibility at t he judgment
sent of Christ according as we are meet-
ing it here1 \Yith how many-'will it be,
"Some of self, and some of Thee 1"
Your influence and mine is what fl ows
from us into other li,es, especially tlaose
who ar e younger and we.ak, those who
may not have our measure of light.
This is the awful r esponsibility which
I have no power t o eYade: it is yours._
We eannot get away f r om it. Because
we li ve under the Gospel of the Son of
God, it is written, and to us,
"\Yithont hol iness no man shall see t he
Lord." How sad it will be if those who
kno\\ us best do n ot discoYer in .us the

GOD'S LOVE FOR US
If ever _ human l oYe was t ender, and
self-sacrificing, and devoted; if ever it
could bear and forbear ; if ever it could
suffer gladl y for its loved ones; if ever
it was willi ng to lavish itself for t he

infinitely more is divine love t ender and
self-sacrificing, and devoted, and gl ad
to hear and forbear, and to suffer, and
to lavish its best blessings upon theob-

trnderest love yon know, of t he deepest

yon, and heap upon it all t he love of all
the loving hearts in the world, and t hen

"THE SACRED THREAD"
.I wanted 1:o write to you t his week
about another Brahmin convert who is
with us, but as I have not time today
for a long story, I will r eserve that for
next week, and just t ell you a l ittle
about his sacr ed thread which he has to
take off before he enters the-waters of
baptism. These threads ar e prepared
by little Brahmin unniarrie1 girls and
are worn over' the left shoulder and lin-
der t he ri ght arm, and from the day
they are put on !>Y t he priest, they can
never be tnk<'n off. 'l'he ceremony of
pnt.t.ing t hem on is obser ved wit h as .
mur h as t hat of a wedding. Ther e
is much money spent on f easting and
music. and offerings to the gods, for
fore, a special offering is made to the
king of heaven, because if it should
thunder in the midst of the preparations
(on any day during the week preceding
the ac:tual eercmony) everything has to
be stopped and the thread cannot be
given for at l east another month. The
anxiety about this is intense, as the ex-
penses are so great and if it thunders,
all is lost. The Brahmin boy, ,who is to
r eceive the thread for the first time
must be in his ninth, eleventh or thir-
teenth year-that is, the year must be
an odd number. These ceremonies can
only take place during nine lucky
months out of the twelve in the year.
So, you see the trouble that a peal of
thunder can cause in India! The boy
is shut up for a week before and has
to fast a great deal and go through
many preliminaries, and then the
priests arrive and with many forms and
repetitions and prayers, the thread is
passed over his never to be taken
off again. This is called "the thread
of sacrifice,'' meaning that h e is r eadv
from that day to offer sacrifices and iri"-
cense for the common people, and" to be
a priest unto t he gods. Sacred words
are spoken into his ears, which none
but him must ever know, and from that
day these words have to be r ep eated
before he can do anything, even eat.
This thread k eeps hi m separated and
pure. If he enter s an uncl ean place,
he must immediately wind the loose
part of his thread, two or three times
round his ri ght ear, and keep it there
until he leaH'S the place, thus preYe'nt-
ing his being defi led. Let us suppose
that a Brahmin accidentallv broke this
thread in the street, is possible,
because it is quite fine-what is he to
do? He dar e not move or speak or eat
or do anything without it. He has to
stand just where he is, taking car e not
to put a foot forward, and without
speaking. let people around him see
what has happened. Ther e is not a
Hindu of however low a caste. who will
not immediately run to the n earest
priest and call him to giYe another
thread. Now, I t hink I have said
enough for yon to r ealize something of
what it means for a Brahmin to take off
this thread deliberately f or J esus' .sake.
I believe it is easier for them to leave
all their near est and dearest relatives
and all they possess, than it is for t hem
to take off their sa cr ed t hread, whi ch is
almost like life itself to them.
Next week I will t ell you the story
of the Brahmin convert her e who is ask-
ing for baptis m, and is r eady to cast to
the wind this thread which he has
proudly worn for years and which he
thinks is no sacrifice to make for his
newly-found Savior.

Since the thirty-day camp meeting

graciously near in the morning, when
five denr ones followed the Lord in bap-
tism. The Sacrament of the Lord's
Supper was administered to about fifty

twelYn were taken into the church. To
God he all glory! Bro. Dearn leaves us

weeks ago and it was truly refreshing
to be among the shouting, shining;
happy band. I felt that I was ''one
of them.'' Glory to God, for full sal-

In my going about the country, I
find that the sentiment towards the
Nazarene church is not always friendly,
but I would rather belong to the de-
spised little band having the glory and
blessing of God on them, than to belong
to ;)ny popular, worldly church. Glory
to God for a clean church.
I am asking the Lord to open the
way for me in the Nazarene work

holiness evangelist. \Ve are holding un-

The Messenger seems to be full of
good reports from the different posts,
which is no more than God desires. If
humanity could understand how anx-
ious God is to give His children victory,
it seems '"e 'vould have success.
Although our spiritual tide does not
seem at the mountain top yet God is
with us and by faith we see victory,
h aving the promise that if we will see
Jesus only that we will come of more
than conqueror.
Bro. Rice has just closed a week's

Gospel sw.ord. :May the Lord ever bless

THE DAY OF PENTECOST
The Day of Pentecost was a great
spiritual occasion. There were various
strange things in it of the natural
order; but first of all and gloriously
above all , was the display of God him-
self.
On the Day of P ent ecost, the Holy
Spirit was given. It was the ina ugura-
tion day of His special dispensation-
the gift-day of His person to the chil-
dren of God. These children were filled
with His mighty unction and power.
On the Day of Pentecost, the Holy
Spirit struck all men present alike. But
He did not accomplish all things in all
of them alike. F a r from it.. His bene-
fits wer e - (lispersed according to the
n ecessities of the indiYidual case.
On the Day of Pentecost. the waiting
saints were cleansed from birth-sin, as
a mighty baptism. And every one of
them was made a prophet, and prophe-
sied of the mighty things of God's
kingdom withont fear. They spoke as
they had <'xperi en ccd. and spoke in such
languages as their Yaried hear<'rs un-
d erstood.
The. Day of P ent ecost . to the unsaved,
was a d emons trat ion of the righteous-
ness of God. The Holy Spirit. in darts

"ROOTED AND GROUNDED"
The cry of every saved soul is in ac-
cord with this prayer of the Apostle in
his l etter to the Ephesians, that Christ
may so elwell in the h eart that the hu-
man spirit nuv. His presence and
ministry, be fixed upon, and so draw
its life from divine love, as to be filled
with all the fullness of God.
Grounded here means to have the
foundation l aid on divine love, as a
foundation r ests upon the earth, so the
human soul may r est upon divine love.
But t he human spirit is more than a
t empl e, which needs a foundation, it is
a "living temple," which needs suste-
nance and sources of life; so as a tree
draws its fountains of life from the
ground; its roots going down to the
water spring, the spirit of man, O!
man as a spirit, is to push the tendrels
of his being down into divine love and
thus draw into his being his fill of love
divine. 'l'his every soul needs, . and for
every saved soul longs. "My soul
thirsteth for God, for the living God. ''
"As the hart panteth after the water
brooks, so panteth my soul aft er thee,
0 God. '' Divine love is the necessity
of the soul's life as well as its satisfac-
tion and fullness. It may be well to r e-
call a few simple facts.
Its Personality.
Love considered as entity or prin-
ciple, is a no-thing. There can be no
such thing as love without the l over.
How foolish to speak o: . the love of a
wife or child or friend, when there was
Nazarene Messenger:
nowife or child or fiiend. To ha-.:e the
love of wife there must be a wife.
There may be the memory of love and
the conviction that the lover still lives
and loves, and the love may be
ished, but all of that presumes person-
ality, without which there can be no
such thing as love. To pray for more
love is 'to pray for more of the mani-
festation of the lover. We often pray
for more of the love of God to be shed
abroad in our hearts; which can only
mean for God, who is love, to manifest
His personal presenr.e more fnl1y
perfectly in us. Only by greater r eve-
lation of the lover cari we receive more
love. And the Christly love in us, fill-
ing our affectional life with love to God
and man, is the inspiration of llis per-
sonal presence. Love is not a princi-
ple, only as p ersonaljty is a "source or
ori.gin from which proceeds."
Personality is fundamentally necessary.
So our eyes are fixed upon the Christ,
and His revelation in us by the Holy
Ghol')t, thus filling ns with Himself.
Thus our hearts burn within us with
holy love.
A Difference.
The love of God takes in all His
creatures, and as far as His loving pres-
ence is received He is love to all. l\{oral
conditions differentiate the effects as
well as turn . the channel s of His love.
Blessings, the reception of which are
not determined by moral conditions, go
forth to all. He sends His sunshine and
rain upon the just and the unjust. And
yet "for disciplinary and governmental
purposes, moral conditions cha nge r ven
these, But for the r elationships of love,
there must exist, or come to be, such
conditions as shall make l ove welcome,
i. e. , an abiding place for the lover.
There must be a home in the heart for
J esus Christ in order that divine l o:ve
may rest upon and fill and transform
the being. For continued and abiding
love ther e must come to be oneness, i t
must become pmtual ; there must and
will be admiration, devotion, fondness,
trust and satisfaction in each other.
This is alike true in divine and human
love. We are to be like our Father in
heaven in loving our enemies, and
blessing them who hate and revile us;
yet that condition of love which ad-
mires and has confidence and del ights
in, cannot be exer cised towards them.
But 1f he hunger he can be f ed. and if
he thirsts water can be given; but if he
robbed your house last night or at-
tempted the. life of your child, or put
the dagger to your good name, you
[September 9, 1909
may not admire nor have confidence or
rejoice in him. We are to be "rooted
and grolmded" ip the life and manifest
presence of God, until filled with all the
fullness of God-:-loving Him with all
our hearts, and our neighbors as our.
selves.
DR. - EDWARD F. WALKER
Dr. Walker is so widely known over
the land that met many friends on
Sabbath, from different parts of the
country, who gave him very hearty
greetings and welrome. His sermons,
both morning and evening, were bibli-
eal , clear, able and unctuous, moving
and edifying the people. His sermon
at night was the most able presenta.
tion of the atonement, and the possi-
bilities of man through it, that it has
ever been our privilege to listen to. To
hear from him such exposition and dis-
cussion of the word is to be one of the
luxuries of attendance upon the Bible
College. For a student to have been
able to take in and digest this sermon
would be a good beginning in a theolo-
gical education as well as a r emarkable
lesson in homiletics, beside being lifted
into the azune . glory which only great
truth coming through a soul on fire
with the unction of God, brings to t.he
heart, " ith its moti ve power for life and
service.

THE CAMP MEETING RESTAURANT
The tabl<' fa r e at t h e Crystfll Springs
Hotel d eser ves special mention. Some-
times we cYa ngelists n ever sp en k of

arrangements. lweanse we cannot truth-
fully what we would like t o say.
But the eas<' is ver y iffer ent this time.
There is here the best food proYision
I have ever known at a camp meeting.
The is ample. the ctuality good,
the pr <'parat.ion ex cellent and the ser -
vi<'e prompt.. considerate and kind: Too
often at. eamps it is painf ull y otherwise.
Sometimes this is owing to carel essn ess,
and sometimes to the fact t hat the man-
agement wishes to make t h<' dining hall
contribute too much to t he treasury of
t he association. or they let it out to
t h ose who are too anxious to mak e
money, r egardless of the r eal IH'eds.
comforts and r ights of boarders. This
summer I was a visitor at a camp where
there was a high-priced hotel that
served to its guests portionR of food so
smali, most of them, as to furnish .little
more than a good bite for a full-grown
man or woman. Camp .meeting is, no
place to fast. Let there b e fasting be-
fore, but n ever in a battle. :Niany a
camp meeting has suffered because of
poor dining r oom management. People
get hungry, . sick sometimes grieved
and clisgusted. and the meeting is hurt.
The commissnr y a nd sanitary arran.ge-

nnd zenlonsly cared for as the platform

AT THE TABERNACLE
A great congregation welcomed Dr.
Edward F. "\Ynlker on Sabbath morn-
ing. Dr. Bresee eondnrtecl the open-
ing services. The si nging " ;ns trium-
phant, and .i\Irs. Craig brought a mes-
sage in song of peculiar tenderness and
sweetness. "\Vhcn " ith n few chosen
words Dr. Bresee presented Dr. "\Valker
the congregation rose and " ith spon-
taneous outburst sang. ""\Vhat a fellow-
ship," after which Dr. "\\alker made
so1ne very appropriate and touching re-
marks and proceeded to preach from
1 Jno. 1:7, which he had the people
read from the b eautiful lettering on the
wall, immediately back of and over the
pulpit: ' 'l'he Bl ood of Jesus Christ
His Son cl eanseth us from all sin:"
Here is God's panacea for sin. Eddy-
ism would get rid of it by denying its
existence." But a fact cannot be de-
stroyed by pronouncing it a fiction ; and
sin is the most uni versal and solemn
fact of human existence. The gospel
presents God's only but all-sufficient
r emedy. The preacher considered the
teaching of the text, word by word, in
the r everse order:
1. Sin: All unrighteousness is sin
-moral unrightness of conduct and of
state. Sin is not merely in outward
action, nor exclusively in inward deter-
mining. It lies farther .back in the hid-
den man, in the v ery tissue of the soul ,
a deep-seated contagion at the very
fountain head, whence all sinful deter-
minings and actions spring.
2. All. Not some, nor most, but the
whole of sin. It is anti-scriptural and
preposterous to hold that the God of all
grace should propose to dispose of any
l ess than the entirety of sin. And no
one has the to s u ggest any
definite amount of sin l ess t han all
which H e denounces and from which
He determines to free His redeemed
ones. If any sin remains the proposi-
tion of the text is not fulfilled. If this
doctrine and our experience are in har-
mony all sin is gone.
, :l, From. Not in sin. but s in with-
in. not in contact .with sin. But out of
si11 , without sin, away from sin. The
teaching h ere is the most total and rad-
ical separation from the whole accursed
thing, so that n ot the least stain or taint
of sin remains.
4. Us. Not the record merely. The
h andwriting that was against ns is
totally expurged in onr justification. so
that there remains no condemnation
upon ns. But the text has to do with
si n i n onr personality-our whol e spirit,
and sonl and hody, and we, ourselves,
arc frcecl from all sin.
G. Clean seth. Not '' forgiveth, '' as

at l east one prominent a nti-holiness au-

And the present t ense : a continued.

''Keeps elean what it. ha s made clean.''

Nothing but the blood can cleanse. The

POSITIVE PREACHING.
''For he taught as one having author-
ity and not as the scribes." :Matt. 7 :29.
The sermon on the mount astonished
the people, and well it might, for they
had heard nothing like it before. They
had become accustomed to the whinin.gs
and r amblings of the scribes; but Christ
had spoken straight ont from the shoul-
der. His manner was cahi1 with con-
s cious power, his sentences clear-
cut and forceful. 'l'her e was no .apolo-
gizing or dodging. He was not dealing
in theories, ideas
1
or notions, but facts.
Each sentence contained a complete,
well-ronuded, self-evident truth that.
struck home to the hearts of his hearee
like a well-aimed shot as it curves to
strike the target . vVhat a preacher and
what a sermon from the first of Mat-
thew 5th to the close of Matthew 7th.
"There flows such a torrent of plane,
pract ical, pow:erful truth, all compre-
hensi ve and convincing, as had never
before fallen from the lips of a preach-
er.: How delightful to hear a man
preach who speaks with a full assur-
ance of faith in the truth he proclaims.
He has read it in the word of .God, he
h as graciousl y experienced it in heart,
he has seen its power manifested in the
salvation of others, and he has no
doubts. He speaks with authority. He
knows "-hereof he spea1cs and ther e is
no stammering, halt ing, or hesitation.
God's word is plainly written, infalli-
ble, and has power in it to kill sin and
produce life, and so he shouts it out of
the inspired page and out of his glad
heart. Let me hear a preacher who is
filled with authority, who is filled with
the Spirit of his Master and on fire with
the truth he proclaims and preaches the
word of God as a mighty warrior would
wield his sword in battle.-Pentecostal
Herald.

THE RELATION OF GROWTH IN GRACE
TO HOLINESS.
Growth in grace sustains an impor-
tant relation to holiness. Some holiness
teachers in the past have ignored it,
but not so our church fathers as ex-
pr.essed in our Discipline, Catechism,
and in General Conference deliver-
ances. In curlier years, the keen and
analytical McDonald t ook that position,
he taught it repeatedly in our hearing.
Yea, he went even farther than that,
he declared that regeneration did not
even touch depravity! That was too
much for the well-balanced Dr. Low-
ery, of the Divine Life; and in a vigor-
ous editorial in said magazine, the doc-
. tor asked McDonald the following ques-
1 ion : '' If your depravity was not
touched when you wer e converted,
what " as touched?'' Sure enough.
Some men have argued , and foolishly
R(), t hat" there are differ ent strata of
depravit.v, r egeneration dealt with one
layer , and holiness with other.
Depravity is a unit, and salvation is a
nni t . Each one of them is of a piece.
Nazarene Messenger
No one can grow into grace; ,but he
can g row in faith. No one can grow
into patience, but he can grow in
patience. No one can grow into hu-
mility, or into purity of heart, but he
can grow in them. No one can grow
into the fruits of t}Je Spirit, but he can
grow in the fruits the Spirit. Growth
never involves the impartation of any-
t hing that has not a lready been depos-
ited. No one can grow flowers, fruit,
vegetables, and virtues, until these
seeds are in the soil and in the so:ul.
No one ean grow weeds out of a garden
by growing the planted plants. Culti-
vation or growth can only be predicted
of a thing that already exists. Growth
in grace imparts nothing, but develops
that >Vhich has been planted. No one
can ever grow sin out of t he heart by
growing the virtues existing. There is
positively but one remedy for sin, and
that is the blood of Christ. Growth in
grace in its relation to holiness is vital,
but never expiatory. It is saciamen-
tal, but not sacerdotal. Growth in
grace in its relation to holiness is r ela-
tive, but never absolute. Growth in
grace in its relation to holiness is pre-
paratory, but never cl eansing. Growth
in grace in its r el ation to holiness is
perpetual during life's probation,
hence never completed in this life, but
holiness is to be a present as well as an
eternal h eritage.- Evangelical Messen-
-ger.

A LITTLE MORE THAN HALF WAY.

SHE DESERVED GOOD CLOTHES.

to go into t he yard of a small house,
but the gate was heavy and would

THE SABBATH QUESTION.
Having noticed the advertisement in
the Messenger of the book. ' ' Seventh
Day Adventism Renounced, " by Elder
Canrigh t, I " ish to add my endorse-
ment to same, having read the book and
believing it to be a complete refutation
of one of the most subtle her esies of the
times. I know how that heresv ha:s
been usetl to imperle. if possibl e. the
"ork of holiness, and r ealize the im-
11
portance of holiness preachers and peo-
ple being well-grounded in. the truth.
In this connection there are two other
books I wish to comm.end, 'viz., ''Sun-
day, the True Sabbath of God,'' by S.
W. Gamble, and "Sunday Is the Sab-
bath Day," by N. T. Whitaker. I sup-
pose the Nazarene Publishing Company
would furnish them. They are -well
worth a careful reading, and cai:lnot
fail to help all those who wish light
on the Sabbath question.

WHOSE POCI{ETBOOK.
. " vVhose pocket-book is that yon
carry ?" said a f riend to a business man,
as h e rh;ew a well-filled wallet from hi s
pocl{et.
' ' my own, of eonrsc. \Yhose dse
conld it be, " was the prompt r epl;-.-.
'"l'o " hom the pocl;:et -hook h0longs
d epends on a nother C'f ucstion. If yon
belong to the I.;ord, I g uess the purse
is his also. ''
''VI' ell.' ' said the man t houghtf ully,
' ' I hope I belong to the Lord; but your
r emark throws a new li ght on the sub-
j ect. It never impressed me before, as
it does just now, that I am to carry and
use this pock et-book, 'my pocket-book'
as mY Lord directs. I must think this
out, for I confess honestly I
11ev.er have looked at it in the li ght m

THE NEE'D OF PRAYER.
Onr one n eed in the Church and In
the :J\iission field is the power of the
H<iy Spirit. Our one hope is a prayer-
hearing God. In the faith of this, our
one r esource ls, prayer, prayer , prayer .
And alas, what a lack there is of the
spirit of prayer , of the power of prayer,
of delight in prayer. Thi s lack of prayer
is the great index of a lack in t h e spir-
itual life. To sp eak to a father, to walk
with him, to work for him, is a joy
and a delight to t h e h ealthy child; it
is a burden and an impossibility in the
feebleness of disease, however willing
the child may be. To the h ealthy spir-
itual life, prayer, as intercourse wit h a
loving Father, is our joy a nd strength.
The lack of prayer is the proof that
our spiritual life and its power to bring
forth fruit .
What a call t o prayer! Prayer for
the churches at Home, many of whose
members SO: . little realize what the ob-
ject is for which the Church exists,
and the mark of bein g well-pleasing to
God. Prayer for the ministers, who are
to rouse and l ead the people to r ej oice
in the glory of the Kingdom, and the
privilege of laboring and prayipg for
it. Prayer for the missionaries, who
d epend on our aid and suffer for it
whe n we are unfaithful. Prayer for
all our mission work and mission
church es. t hat by the power of the Holy
Spirit they may be lifted info the
power of a n ew life, and l ike t h e first
Christ ians, be ready to testify every-
where to what Christ has clone for them.
May C' hrist the Great Intercessor, at
Whose r equest the Holy Spirit was sent ,
teach us to pray. Oh ! the blessedness
of asking the Fath er in childlike confi-
de.nce. the name of Jesus. Oh t h e
pri vil ege of b ein g made one of His
Privv ('onncil. to whom He en t rusts His
plan: nnd at whose urgent p etition "H e
does "hnt h e ask s. Oh! the bl essed cer -
tainty ot t h e word : "How much more

Holy Spirit to those that ask Him!"

CLING TO THE CROSS.
The Bishop of Liveq )ool says: ''In
apostolic days men advocated a Gospel
witho'nt t he Cross. But St. Paul would
h ave none of it. In the fourth century
Arius t.anght. a Christianity without a
divine Saviour, and the
church " onld not have it. In the fif-
teenth ecntury the Renaissance, intox i-
cated by the discover y of Greek and
Roman literature, d espised the 'jargon
of St. Pa ul,' and would have paganized
Christia nity, but the Reformation
brought. north ern Europe back to the
Scriptures and to the Christ. Today
men are proclaiming a Gospel without
the supernatural. They are asking us
to be content with a perfect huma n
Christ.; with a Bethleh em where no
miracle was wrought.; with a Calvary
which saw sublime self-sacrifice, with
no atonement for sin; with a sepulcher
from which no angel's hand roll<'\d away
the ston e. But we must have none of
it. \Ye will hold fast, . vve will trans-
mit the faith once for all deliver ed to
the sai.nts. We will hand down to our
children, we will proclaim to all the
tribes of the earth, Christ Incarnate,
Atoning, Risen, Ascending, our
cessor at God's right hand, waiting to
come again to j udge the qnick and the
dead."

C. L. SHELBY, PARIS, TEXAS, says :- "I consider 'Pe ntecostal Songs
of the Nazarene' the best Song Book we have ever had. It is especially
adapted for r evival work. It conta ins about forty new songs that have never
come to us before, as well as a choice lot of old, tried songs. Ther e is a 6Uffi-
'cient number of older songs so that you will find no difficulty in taking .the
book rig ht up in your church meetings. I would especially call attention to
No. 10, Brother Ma rtin' s 'Glory ::long,' 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 tha n the price of the book. It is just the book you need for your sum
mer meetings._''
