REVIVAL.
F. V. LANDSTAFF.
The word revival has a meaning.
genuine revival will r esult in t he awak-
ening and conversion of sinners and the
sanctification of believer s, which is t he
end in view at .the beginning of every
series of meetings. The verb revive
means to r eturn to life or raise from in-
activity. Hence revival means re-
newed interest in r eligion after decline
and is a means to the end, and certainly
applies to t he .church.
When is a r evival needed? I would
say whenever a church is in a stat e -of
indifference or decline. This may apply
either collec:tively or individually.
Whenever this state of declension is
found to exist a r evival is certainly
needed. JVhere shall it begin? Reli-
gious fervor, force or effect is always
dependent upon the existing state of .

SOME THOUGHTS ON FLYING.
I. G. MARTIN.
While there has only been one kind
of flying on exhibition in Southern
California of late there has been var-
ious kinds of flying participated in by
people who have not gained any great
reputation by their flights.
are those \vlio "fly into a pas-
sion'' or ''fly off the handle. '' :Most of
us have made, at _least, a few pretty
successful flights along that line, while
others have made some very perilous.
flights. Doubtless many more people
have been killed from this kind of tly-
ing than the :kind that has been so re-
cently O:Q exhibition. Cain was the first
person we have any_ knowledge of who
"flew into a passion"; and Abel was
. the first victim of that kind of flying.
Again there are various kinds of
flyers. Paulhan makes the monoplane
fly, Curtiss makes the biplane fly, Old-
field makes t he automobile fly, and
tourists make the money fly. Then
there are the "high flyers" of our city.
They do not stay in the air very long
at a time and they usually .. alight in t he
police court or poorhouse. 'Vhile they
are called "high flyers, " they are low
livers.
But the only. kind of an aviation that
is really . worth _going to see is at a
great camp meeting or convocati'on
where the saints ''mount up on wings
as eag1es, '' and soar above the clouds
of doubt, over seas of trouble and
across rivers of discouragement. Talk
about Paulhan ot Curtiss r eceiving an
ovation as they sailed or in "'front
of the grandstand. It . is nothing as
compared with the ovation that some
good old brother or sister received
when they sailed away on a flying trip
up and down the aisles and back and
forth in front of. the pulpit at some of
our camp meetings. The is a r eal
"aviation meet"( ing).
Though it is wonderful to see men
like Paulhan and Curtiss flying through
the air like birds, yet one turns away
disappointed; . but not so when one
t urns away from a great camp mee.ting
of the saints. He feels like shouting
all the way home: .
. can have their airships. Just
., give me the wings of faith and love, of
surrender and trust and I will sail from
the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the
Lakes to the Gulf without alighting.
some sweet day will fly to my
heavenly home.

'Ve have been on the up grade ever
since the watch night service. The
first Sunday in the year was character-
ized by the manifest presence of the
Holy Spirit. Our prayer meeting last
week .was more largely attended than
any we had for a long time. The peo-
ple had the spirit 9f prayer and spent
nearly an hour ab6ut the altar in earn-
est petition. God greatly refreshed our
souls. On Friday evening ,.Ve held a .
cottage meeting, and a . dear
brother who had drifted away from
God was graciously reclaimed. There
was an increase of -attendance at all
our services last Sunday, and in the
morning there were several requests ,
for p_rayer. A strange lady from san

S.unday ;was a great day in Zion at

was at his best, and set forth. the truth
in a. clear, logical and impressive way,
so much so that five hungry .souls came

reached until the evening service,
when t he Lord gave Bro. Henr icks an-
other message which proved to be a
stirring sermon, and when the altar
call was given . fifteen precious souls
made their way to the altar, making
twenty for the day. Truly God is good
to us and giving' His servant souls for
his hire.

I just had a letter from my pre<>ious
companion who is on her way to India,
and I am to inform the readers <'f

better than she has been since she left.
She has been very poorly since she left
San Francisco. Has had. a bard trip,
si<'k most of the way, but on De-

yet. She expected to change boats the
next day at Hongkong, China. She
was greatly disappoin.t ed that she
could not reach Calcutta for Christmas.

. ITINERARY OF THE MISSIONARIES-
Continued.
The desire of the churches hl\S been
such that there has been an especial
effort to have them visit, as far as pos-
sible, all our churches in Southern Cal-
ifornia. They have visited during the
past week, Elysian Heights, Vern on,
Latixi, Erwin Heights, Ocean Park,
Pasadena Second Church,
Grand Ave., Bakersfield, and San
Diego. At each of these places they
have had a good hearing, and the peo-
ple were . enthusiastic in the 'YOrk.
There seems 'increased earnestness all
alon'g the line, to carry out in full unity
the purp.oses and methods of the Gen-
eral Missionary Board. The church
missionary committees especially see
their possibilities and duties of putting
into the hands of all church members,
early each month, a mi'ssionary envel-
oi)e, and gathering them in at the cl9se
of the month, and sending the aJ;Dount
at once to the District Treasurer. Pas-
tors and people feel more and the

ing together and heaven 4own

THE PASTORATE.
No relation to. the church nor any
position in it is so responsible and so
full of possibilities as the pastorate. It
11as in it all the excellent things of
Christian service, and gives oppor.tu-
nity for the exercise all the elements
of heroism, sacrifice and devotion to
Jesus Christ. It bas in it the evangel-
istic privileges. The pastor is a soul
winner . . Not by a spasmodic effort,
. but by all kinds of methods-preaching
the word of life. individual effort.
brin.ging personal influence to. bear
upon family life, leading the children
as well as the older ones to the
of Jesus.
He bas pressed upon him the de-
lightful privilege of delving in the
mines of truth, of its richest
ore, and of fusing it in his own heart
and coining it: in his own ' brain; and
enjoying that inexpressible luxury of
feeling his own stamp on the ;newly
coined truth, and of. giving it awaY. to
men- more valuable than golden
eagles; feeling what the apostle meant
when he said: "Poor yet making many
rich." .There is probably no joy that
a soul ever felt that is superior to that
experieiJ.ced by. a human .. heart in this
process 'of the fusing of divine truth,
by the divine Spirit, and being the ave-
nue of its outpouring. This is espe-
cially so when it is for and given unto
a people carried upon the heart of the
preacher, whose . every joy and sorrow,
despair and hope are a. part of his own
life. The awful, pr.ecious, glorious
privilege of being a pastor-preacher is
beyond eipress1on. No official place,
no assumed or proposed dignity of
office, no of evangelism, is any
adequate recompense for its loss.
It is the pastor's privilege to lead up
to the mountain tops of transfiguration.
No other person can so yitally affect
the of the church. Indeed
to a very great extent he is responsiule
for the Christian standing of the people
to whom he ministers. His experience
fusing the word he pre;lches; his tes-
timony, . his earnest loving words, .his
personality, will lead the .flock into
green pastures; if be :himself knows
and treads the way:. The people will
soon reflect' the 'pastor's or

else rejecting it, they. will lead him
forth. to cast. bini .down, and he, like
his Master, will go forth on his . w:ay.
The experience of preacher is
seen in the and lives
of those to whom he min.isters. Their
ideal of the Christjan life is what they
have caught .him, and they h'-ve
come to drink of the cup of which he
drinks. The that en-
swathes the preacher will come. to fill
the church: They will hear him say,
"Follow me as I follow Christ," and
following ''him and the Lord,'' they
drink of the streams eat of
the same sp.iritual bread.
.. J/1' ..

The. year of our . Lord .1909 was the
.centennial anniversary year of many
very distinguishe.d men: None of them
greater, perhaps none so great as Wil-
liam Ewart Gladstone, who was born
December 29th, the one hundredth an-
. nive.rsary of whose birth has just been
celebrated. Among the excellent a.rti-
cles on t)lis distinguished man we find
at the of an able editorial in the
Christian 'Advocp.te the following fine
Summary.
Of civilians he must be numbered
among the greatest who have lived.
If a hundred be selected, be must be
one; if fifty, he cannot be left out; if
twenty, there must be only , nineteen
others; and if there be ten,. we doubt if
could be justly passed by. However,
it is impossible to make a just compari-
son among stars of the f).rst magnitude
viewed at unequal distances from the
eye, and through atmospheres of differ-
ent densities.
. Physically the beauty of his person,
the agility of his movements, his endur-
ance, his voice, the only one wortHy to
be compared with that of Whitefield,
made him a man hardly to be paralleled.
As a singer his cultivated baritone
would have made his fortune, and it
was customary in his day topay great
singers and him a compliment by say-
).ng to them: "How fortunate for you
that Gla.dstone did not become a pro-
fessional; you would then have had a
serious rival." It was his singing that
first attracted Mrs. Gladstone. She was
staying at a hotel in France and lis-
tened to a young man playing and sing-
ing in another room. She was en-
tranced and asked who it was.
Mentally be possessed a iriost won-
drous memory: The world has rarely
known the equal of his five-hour finan-
cial speeches, his power of absolute con-
his . alllazipg lingui.stic full-
ness and the comprehensiveness of his
versatility. .
' Be .was. :everYthipg b.ut a. poet, and
... there .not .. .to. maQy. who
pose as such. He had limitations. One
[Januaey27, 1910 .
was. not.withstanding his .great
knowledge of mankind, he had a poor
knowledge of individual men. "He
could not remember faces, and his sup-
porters often thought he cut them; but
tell Jiim t!ny mang name, and he could
tell you all about him." All his
he applied .to. up a subject,"
and in addition they gave him ''the
important complementary faculty of
detailed and lucid exposition." .His
oratory was unparalleled in the union
ofthese qualities: convincing, persuad-
ing and arousing. o thers were equal
him in one of these, a very fe\v in
two, but none in all, .
In power he was incomparable
among of his grade.
When the moral element was
niost he utterly confounded such men
as Disracli and Palmcrston and awed
the whole ply.. .
Iii's religious . spirit rpade him almost
absolutely irresistible. No one of his
changes ever sprang from self-interest;
for most of them he paid a heavy price,
not merely in popularity, but in actual
position. All his life his SY.mpathics
were with the Conservatives, but his
opinions, conscientiously formed, were
with the Liberals. Four times Glad-
stone was Prime :Minister to the Queen
and practically ruler of theBritish Em-
pire.- Not even the greatest of his pre-
decessors enjoyed this. , . The only
scription that the statue Lord
Beaconsfield (Disraeli) in Westminster
Abbey contains, in addition name,
is that of Twice Prime Minister of Eng-
land.
Gladstone was a mem6er ef Parlia-
ment seven years before Queen Vic-
toria ascended the throne, and was as
great a figure in the world's eye as the
Queen when she celebrated her. sixtieth
regal anniversary. He was great in the
splendor of his setting sun, sublime, as
de.ath approached, as he discoursed
of God, of the forgiveness of sins, of the
great hereafter, and made sublime in
the eyes of all men \vhen his life-long
opponent, Salisbury, conferred 'on
him the highest title that even the Crea-
tor Himself can bestow upon a humnn
beh)g: "A great Christian man. "

DISCRIMINATION AGAINST CHURCH
PAPERS.
President Taft has recommended an
advance in the price of postage on
newspapers. The .large. deficit in the
postoffice department is largely due to
the great amount of second-class mat-
ter which is carried at the low rate of
one cent a pound. We believe it would
be proper to raise the rate of postage
on newspapers and magazines, but we
are deci.dedly opposed to what seems to
us an unjust . discrimination . in the
President's recommendation. He rec-
ommends that the raise in rate be only
applied to magazines and weekly pa-
pers, and th'at daily papers be carried
Nazarene Messenger
at the present rate. The ground for
this discrimination is that,- according
to carefully compiled statistics, the
average number of miles newspaper are
carried. is 291 and for mi'scellaneous
periodicals it is
While frotn this it W'Quld seem that
there should be some discrimination in
favor of such periodicals as are mostly
local delivery, there is one point on
which there is no difference, i. e., one
of the most expensive items i.p the
of carrying mail is' the free delivery at .
the end of tlie route.. is especially
so in the case of large daily papers with
t heir Stinday editions. Many
of .these mostly advertisements and
news. We all know that the
original purpose of the low newspaper
rate was to encourage and facilitate
the of useful information
and helpful literature. Such a pur-
pose is surely worthy in our national
government, but now it seems ihat in
raising the postal rate the pa-
pers. (which class includes nearly all of
the religious papers) arc to be charged
a higher rate, and the daily papers
(which arc largely composed of adver-
tisements and sensational matter) are
to continue at the old rate.
'Ve believe that magazines and pcri-
odicais of less .frequeaey than weeklies
should pay a 4igher rate than the
newspapers, but we sec no reason why
the newspapers should not pay a higher
1atc than no,v, and we would include
ail classes of papers in this list. Let
the daily paper help pay its share of
the deficit.
If you will help us, perhaps we can
bring some influence to bear in the
right place. Send a mnrkcd copy of

read that wonderful article .of Dr. Bre-
see's in the Messenger for January
13th cntitl<>d "Passing Strange." It
is full of loYc, thought. and gives hon-

Bro. J. A. Chenault, one of.the out-
going missionaries to Japan, writes
that they are expecting a great meet-
ing io and says: ''I am
counting on 4000 in Southern Califor-
nia to pray for us.''
Notes and Persolials.
. Bro. Ruth is holding meetings with
the Portland, Ore.,. church, to continue
until Febr-uary '6th.
An aU-day meeting will be held at
the Long Beach ch.ur.ch tomQrrow (Fri-
day). All are invited.
Sisters Lura A. Hort9n and Elsie N.
Cunningham have recently held meet--
ings in Brockton, Mass., amid discour-
aging conditions. 'l'hey are . . now lo-
cated at 43 Tilto..n Terrace, Lynn, Mass.
It is expected that work on the new
chapel for Sister Palmer's church in
will begin soon and ' that it
will be ready for dndication before Dr.
Bresee goes East to hold the Assem-
blies.
The many friends of the old veteran
of t he cross, Bro. W. S. Dorwin, will
he glad to see his face once more in
Los Angeles. He arrived here on last
Saturday. Though rather feeble, he is .
rejoi cing in the Lord.
Rev. Harry J. Elliott, who is now in
the evangelistic fi eld, expects to go
nort h to hold a number of meetings and
on his way will be witlt Bro. Williams .
at Bakersfield for a r eviYal meeting
ahout the first of March.
'Vo.rd comes from the Distri ct Su-
peri.ntendent that he, with Bro. Elliott,
expects to commence meeting at Lorn-
poe, Cal.,. the first of February. This
is a new field and let there be very
much pray for its success.
Mrs. R. P. Whear passed her eighty-
fourth birthday on Monday, January
24th, nt her l10me with RcY. and Mrs.
C. V. LaFontaine, and r ecei,cd the con-
gtatulations of her many friends. She
is better in health and happier than
ever, as she so often says.
In a letter from Bro. 'Villiams h e
tells us that nll told we havc about 100

A'T THE TABERNACLE
''And the glory of the _Lord filled the
tabernacle" (Ex. 40 :34) . This scrip-
ture is in some measure fulfilled in the
tabernacle of First Church; but we are
wishing that it were more' even that
we might not be able to minister be;
cause of the excessive glory. But the
. Lord does ,manifest His presence in our
midst. Praise be to His . name !
Last Sabbath Pastor Walker ha.d
charge all day.
. The morning theme was "Power to
Witnesses' '-the text, "Ye shall re-
ceive power . . . and ye shall be wit-
nesses uri to me" (Acts 1 :8). Chris-
tians are called to represent Christ not
only in . holy life and holy service, as
we have in two preceding S.ab-
baths; but as He said, ''We speak that
we do know, and testify that we have
seen" so His followers are to be living
witnesses.
1. A witness is qualified .by knowl-
edge. No one is capable to testify who
does not know. No one who merely
"tries," or "hopes," or defers to the
future the gre.at matter of Christ and
His salvation, is qualified .as a witness.
.The gospel proposition :is- ' 'full assur.-
ance"-of faith, of hope, of under-
standing. The apostles with great
powe.r gave witness unto the resurrec-
tion of Jesus, because that in t he!r o":n
souls. they_.know the power of His res-
urrection. Their own convictio'ns made
them bold, and Convicted others lli.Hler
the power of the Holy Ghost.
2. A witness tells what he kuows.
Qualification is not enough. He rriust
testify; must speak the t_ruth in love.
It is not enough to live the Christian
life. We must be the witnesses of the
Living One. "Ye are my
the Lord. Certainly our. lives
must speak for God; if they do not,
then let our lips be silent. But if we
found redemption through His
blooa. and by His Spirit, then let our
. lips pour out testimony to His praise.
And this we always do when the power
of the Holy Ghost comes upon us.
3. A witness so. speaks that those
who hear. un'derstand. John \Vesley
said that we should declare in the
plajnest terms what the Lord has done
for us. Befor.e l1irri David said, "I will
declare what he has done for my soul."
On the day of P entecost, when lhe
promise of the te=!Ct was first fulfilled,
the disciples so spake as the Spirit. gave
them utterance that all . of those people
present out of every nation . under
heaven heard and understood what was
That was not speaking in "an
unknown tongue." It was prophesy-
ing; and "be that prophesieth. speak-
eth unto : man, to edification, -
tion and Under the power
of as well as the power
o.f the people got. in-
Holy Ghost and so
thousands were led to christ.
Naza rene .MesseJJ,g.er
_Such a witnessing church is . t:!le
great need of . today. .Pentecost al'one
can furnish such witnesses.
The afternoon meeting was well at-
tended. The .. text was, "Sing unto the
Lord; . for he hath done excellent
things: iet this be known .in an the
earth" (Is. 12 V.) . .. .
- In the evening the pastor again
preached on t'ne Great Salvation, )l.Dd
considered the< way of the esc-ape of
neglectors, as . proposed by
ism. T4e preacher showed that nei-
the:r in _reason nor scripture can any
ground be _found for the idea that men
may finally by .the way of hell.
At all of these services there were
.seekers and finders. Especially at the
night meeting the altar service was
quite blessed and fruitful in salvation
results. .

received: E. F. W.
People's meeting on Sun-
day evening was very precious indeed.

hearts 'and drawing us closer to Him- .

DAVE A PURPOSE.
Live for something, have a PU!-'pose,
And that purpose keep in view ;
Drifting like a helpless vessel
You can ne'er to life be true.
Half the wrecks that strew life's ocean,
If some star had been their guide,
Might have long been riding safely;
But they drifted with the tide.

BOW A LITTLE GIRL STARTED A
REVIVAL.
An exchange tells a story about a lit-
tle girl who went into a neighboring
town, where there was a revival. She
attended the meeting and heard the
story of the cross, and gave herself to
.Jesus.
When she returned home she went to
an -old man who was a Christian, and
to him.:
"Can't we have n prayer meeting?"
"WeT" said he; "I don't know of
imother Christian in the district. ' '
"Well," said she, "you arc a Chris-
tian and I am. a Christian ; can't we
-have a prayer _meeting?"
''Well,'' said he, ''we can say 'we'
then.''
They did have a prayer meeting. The
next day two or three -more God
answered their prayers and now be-
tween . twenty and thirty have found
the Savior.
In ' this day of activity there is great
danger, not of doing too . much, hut of
praying too little for so inuch work.
These two-work and prayer, action
and contemplation-are twin sisters.
Each pines without the other. We are
!'!''er tempted to cultivate one or the
other disproportionately. Let us imi-
tate Him who sought the mountain top
as His rcfreshmei1t after toil, lnit never
left duties undone or sufferers unre-
lieved in pain. TJord, tea<>h us to pray.

GREATER THAN A PRESIDENT.
Sam was a farmer's son. A new rail-
road had .fnst peen made through his
father's farm. One Sabbath morning
Sam was surprised to see an engine
drawing a car stop in front of his
house. . The president of the road
stepped out and started to examine a
new bridge. =The little barefotted Sam
tru9,ged along behind the party. After
awhi1e the president turned to Sam and
said, "See here, my little fellow, do
know who I am 1"
'' YeR, sir, " said Sum, "I suppose you
are the head man of 'this railroad.''
"And what do you I would be
likely to want .inst now above anything
else 1"
Sam replied, ''I should think, sir, yoil
wcmld want to get God to forgive yon
for taking llis day to come and look at
your new bridge. '' .
The president at: the boy a
Nazarene Messenger
moment and then said : ''Who told yon
to say that?''
"No one," . answered Sam ; "I just
thought it in my heart, sir."
"You think right, my boy, I
thank you for reminding me of my
duty; and promise you that the re-
minder -will not be forgotten. You have
shown yourself a greater man tht.m t.he.

A WONDERF-UL PENNY.
Fifty years ago a child gave a penny
to the missionary box. A litt le tract
costing just one penny was bought with
it and one gave it to. a young man,
the son of a Burman chief. He trav-

Christian teachers taught him, and God
gave him a new heart. He went home
and preached to others and fifteen hun-

KEEP SOWING GOOD SEED.
Seeds often are planted far from the .
spot where they are ripened. The wind
may bear them miles from their

life in a new world.
It seems hard 'to believe that a 'girl
in California may influence the .life of
another in Maine; or that an Ameri can
girl may help a Japanese cousin,. hut
this is the case. Keep sowing good
seed. You cannot tell in what far-away
