No ONE is sanctified whom the Lord has to keep awake
to decide what he shall give.
Desires After God .
. ,
The' fact of God's purposes, and the soul's possibilities
in Him, is verified by the outgoings of the human soul
after Him. All holy desires after God are implanted by
God. To make Himself real to the soul, He has first to
create the desire for Himself before He can satisfy it.
He plants the seed of desire; that He may reap the ripened
fruit. "He calls (gives desire) so that He also may do it."
If we could only see how earnestly God is trying to push
heaven upon us, and to draw us away from playing with
the tinsel and toys of this world, we would be surprised.
The agencies He has put in operation to accomplish this
end are all around us, and through every avenue of oul'
being He is trying to enter so to create a desire for
Himself and holy things. His precious Word, His good-
ness in the bestowment of temporal gifts, all nature alive .
with voices calling to Him, influences of godly lives,
the inspiration of self-denying men and women, yea, even
the very trials and failures of our lives, are used by the
Holy Spirit to create within us desires for a better life-
desires after God. We must "hunger and thirst" before
we can be ''filled.'' 0 beloved, cherish very tenderly
every new desire after God; it is God Himself knocking at
the door, preparing the way for the entrance of Himself.

Faith the Permanent Blessing.
There is something more sure, more real and more
permanent than anything we can see and handle- Faith.
The faith of the heart .is a stronger assurance tpan all the
ity as it feels the tangible things that are handled. Faith
sees clearly when sight becomes *' diin; faith brightens up
when all things fade away; faith outlasts circumstances
and time, for it centers in God; faith is permanent, for its
source is the everlasting God. Faith more, gets
more, does more and dares more than all other things
except love-for it is in partnership with love-for faith
is worked by love. "Lord, increase our

Failures that Are Successes.
We attempt many things in which we fail, even after.
we have given to it our best purpose and effort. This
. may be to us a great trial, yet out of the failure we may
gain a great triumph. Some one has said: "Perhaps the
greatest hero is the man who does his best and signally
fails, yet is notembittered by his failure. A life here in
which you fail of every you seek, yet which disciplines
you for a better life, is assuredly not a failure." We are
sure that a loving Heavenly Father records many of our
failures as successes, because the motives that have
prompted our have been for His glory, and though
seemingly a failure, we have done our best, with a pure
motive, to succeed. Many of us can loo_k back over our
lives and see times and places where we tried to accom-
plish some desire and failed, and now see that the failure
was a blessing and not a misfortune-if we had succeeded
it would have proved a calamity. Some of the seeming
failures, in human judgment, have brought to this world
its richest blessings. The lowly Nazarene, though
despised and rejected, has left the world an example of
life the best this side of heaven; dark Calvary would
seem to be the ending of the life of a pretender, but it
struck a death-blow to the enemy of the whole world, and
flashed a ray of light and truth and salvation for all the
human race, and from it the crucified King rules the
world. We may have to fail to succeed.

CONVERSION OF A BRAHMIN.
Lately I promised to tell you of the
!
conversion of a Brahmin who is willing
to cast off his sacred thread for the
!sake of the Lord time ago
. our preachers met with him in the Pau-
p!lr Hospital here. He was suffering
an incurable complaint of the
I .
.throat and he eagerly listened to their
message. He said he once had a Bible
given him and had read some of it and
then gave it away. After a month of
visiting him, he .'Was discharged as in-
curable, and had nowhere to go and
nothing to eat. After some hours
search, he found our preachers .at one
of the street corners and b.egged them
to help him. He said, "I no more
faith in Hinduism, and Hinduism only
says to me, "Go here .and go there":..:..
to all the sacred place of pilgrimage-
but I have gone to many with no
and now I ' cannot go any more. You
told me, your Savior says, 'Come unto
me,' and 'come' is the only thing I have
strength for now, for I want His rest. "
The preachers could not refuse his piti-
ful . appeal and gave him shelter and
food and more teaching. Now, h,e is
asking for baptism and seems quite pre-
pared. When he first came he said he
had rio J,"elatives, but that was not. true.
Now, he has told his true history.
lie is the 11on of a man be-
longing to a high Brahmin family. He
has a father and three brothers, one of
the latter is a .doctor and another a
high school He was always the
black sheep of the family and would
never at school or learn any pro-
fession or trade, but being attracted by
singing and music would be often join-
ing the temple. singing bands and trav-
eling with them. Hi's father arranged
a. marriage for him when. he was very
young, thinking that .this would
him, but his wife soon died, leaving a
little boy whom her father i1;1sisted on
adopting. Four years ago from now, he
quarreled with his father and left. horne
for good. His father had rnarriFd again
and his step-mother was younger
thari. himself. She had a little girl, his
:.step-sister, of whom he wae fond.
kiiow tha.t to save money,. my step-sister
was exchanged for my wife and this
thing will always lower me ana my step-
sister in the eyes of all. '' So .rather
than this he ran away, and for two or
three years joined again his temple sing-
ing bandand had what he thought was
a good time, at the expense of his bPalth
anq all else. On getting very ill, he
went to the holy city of Benares to: get
well, but he got no benefit and lost much
of his faith in Hinduism. After this,
he drifted. into the Calcutta hospital
wpere our preachers met him. His
name is Sre4bur Bhu Hacharjee, and he
is now about thirty Yel1-r& of age. Pray
.for bini. I do not think he will live very
long, but he is very anxious to do what
his strength will permit him. for his
newly-found Savior. He say, "I cannot
speak much, but I can distribute tracts
and gospels and I can tell every. one
who is weary and heavy laden as I was
that the Lord Jesus says 'Come.' " Let
him that hearth say "Come. "

Overland Trip.
When the writer reported last he was
on his trip from Los Angeles.
Cal., to Tracy City, Tenn. The run of
2,644 miles was made without a delay,
mnking the distance 'in about five days
and five night without missing a train.
and pulling into this city on time, for
which : we praise the dear Lord. At
Nashville we met the Superintendent of
this entn<'kY and Tennessee Distriet,
also Rev. B. L. Sarmast, of Oroomiah,
Persia, both of whom on their

City.
The Home Camp Meeting.
. The camp meeting committee 'vas un-
able to secure a tent as they hatl
planned and their effort to .secure one
of the several unoccupied churches was
fruitless, and as a suitable hall could
'not be had it was decided to hold the
meeting in the Union Chapel at the
northeast side of the city, a distance of
about one and a quarter miles from
depot. As this part of the town is not
lighted and the street is very rough
.place was not favorable for reaching
the crowds of people, nevertheless we
had a fair attendance in the morning,
very light in the afternoon, but at I,ight
the house was crowded and some nights
many were obliged to remain on thf-
outside.
Rev. C. A. Bromlpy, the Distrit:Jt Su- .
perintendent, was with us froni Friday
night to Thursday noon, preaching
and sometimes twice a day, and also
held several business sessions with the
church and representatives from Motot
Eagle church. His ministry was owned
of God and his sermons were very help-
ful.
Bro. Sarmast preached two helpful
:;ermons and gave a talk on his mis-
sionary work in Persia. He is doing a
good work and should be supported by
Christian people. Bro. speaks
very highly of him having known of
. him and his work since they were grad-
uates from the Hughes Holiness Col-
lege. .

money was received for the expenses of

of the two works -of grace, and new

the meeting, for which let us praise
God, and pray that much fruit may be

CHICAGO CENTRAL DISTRICT ASSEMBLY
Notice.
All delegates to the Chicago Central
District Assembly, which will be held
at Canton, Ill., September 30th to Octo-
ber 3d, will be given breakfast and
lodging free, but will be expected to
payfor dinner and supper. All persons
expecting to attend the Assembly, and
desire to be thus provided for, must
send their names to Mrs. M. Galyand,
504 N. Main street, Canton Ill. It is
further desired that all pastors in
District take a liberal collection from
their congregation to help defray the
expense of the District Assembly. This
must be done to assist our folks at Can-
ton. Brethren of the District, this must
not be neglected. By this collection
from each charge in the District, we can
hold our District Assembly with the
weak churches, and these weak
churches greatly need the inspiration of
the Assembly. We must also take care
of the visitors. Let us have a full at-
tendance from every charge in the Dis-
trict, and come to Canton with faith
to see a mighty time of spiritual power.
The Assembly must bring a great revi-
val of saving grace to Canton and to
our church there. Amen and amen.

where pray the blessing of God upon
us. T. H. Agnew, Dist. Supt.

KEWANEE, ILL.
It has been some time since you have
heard from Kewanee, but I am delight-
ed to be able to report victory in our
little church here. We are still in the
fight, pushing the battle for God and
souls and winning the Christian race
with the glory in our souls. Hallelu-
jah! Although this is what is generally
called a district,, fanati-
cism having prejudiced the people
against holiness before we were organ-
ized as a Nazarene church ; and not-
withstanding the fact that we have
been most unfortunate in seeuring an
experienced pastor, and the work great-
ly hindered and well night r-uined by
novices, yet the services for the past
three months have been the best we
have had in two years. The dear Lord
has given us some souls, and the attend-
ance has -been good. There are some
saints in Kewanee whom the Lord can
. trust, who keep their eyes on the King.
[September 2, 1909
A great many Christians have to be
propped up on every side. They walk
by feeling-not by faith. Unless God
and the preacher are forever honeying
them up, they are sure to go down, and
soon drop out, and go down in spite
of all the honey. But there are some
folks 'here God can trust alone, without
a preacher. He can hide His face frotn
them until that great day, and will
bring victory out of defeat, and honor
to His name, and answer to the roll
call. Thank God for the privilege of
training and running the race with the
aristocracy of the skies; We arc an-

JONESBORO. ARK.
The Lord has given us a gracious vie.
. tory here at Jonesboro. Meetings were
run in a big tent half way from Jones-
boro to Nettleton, one and a half miles
from either place. My . members from
the city assisted and helped to pray
down the fire. Began July 22 and
closed August 8. Thirty or were
either saved or sanctified. Deep con-
viction fell on the people and many
went to the bottoni, confessed out and
really found God. The saints prayed,
worked and shouted and the fire fell.
The writer did all the prearhing except
two sermons. Sisters Smith and Col-
lins preached once each with blessed
effect. Withal it was a meeting of
power and far-reaching effect. Faith-
ful preaching and persistent prayer still
bring results.

SURREY, N. DAK.
\Veil, we can report victory in Velva,
N. Dak. tent meetings; it tasted over
three Sundays and we ha d a real battle
for our God and hopness. The devil
tried us very hard but our God is more
than a match for him on every band.
Ther e are six churches in Velva, a town
of about 1000; plenty of r eligion, but
precious little salvation. We preached
holiness, and of cou_rse that stirred the
carnal mind; so the members of the
various churches of the city took it to
the mayor, and the mayor of course was
something like Pilot and said, ''I've
been to hear this man preach and I can
not find any fault with him. One thing
'I do know,' that they have cured one
of the worst men in our community,
whom I have given money to twice to
send him off to the Keeley but did
not get him cured, but he said to me
'I have found the cure, it is the
blood of Jesus Christ, ' and therefore, I
say l et these people go, as long as thev
do work like that,'' and he sent tb'e
to our protection and the Lord
d)(l give us victory. We closed Sunday
ni ght, and Bro. Rowe, a Nazarene
opened up his home for a place to meet
once every week for a holiness praye'r
of which Sister Rowe is ap-
pomted l eader, and one of .our young
preachers of Sawyer. Bro. Earl Pounds,
there every Sunday afternoon and
.Naza.re.ne Mes_senger
preaches for the class. We are looking
for great victory for our God in Velva
and I feel good in my soul.

FROM OVER THE SEA .
Greetings from Wales. Since last
writing -God has dealt very graciously
with us. His strong arm has been re-
vealed. Dark England; so religious yet
ignorant of real salvation; an empire
all in a foment over questions of law;
no r evival of salvation; socialism and
lordisrn in a clash. Amid all this there
are a few who will not bow the knee to
Baal, and here in Bargoed, South
yY ales, are a few of God's own plant-
mg. Bro. Rowe of Cornwall leads the
host. The opposition is so great that
resort to cottage meetings. Min-
Isters whose churches believe iri the sec-
Ol)d blessing so-called are smoking,
pleasure-seeking and theater-going. Our
efforts are blessed of God and
gracious results are looked for ere we
close. We started Friday night. Stm-
day was a great day. God was with us
His presence was manifest. Souls
hungry. We had Bible readings morn-
ing and afternoon and a gospel messaae
on being ''Partakers of the Divi;;e
Nature" at night. We contemplate
opening a full gospel hall in two weeks.
Bro. Herbert Hunt of Hammond, Ind.,
and Bro. Wain of Battersea, . London,
and the writer .. are expected as workers.
In all probability will r eturn to Llanel-
ly. Doors are opening in Bristol and
Cumberland, the old home of Bro.
Thomas C. Henderson. People here a:re
holiday mad-a mania for recreation
seaside or somewhere, a desire to go---:
so there are reasons of the fears that
gospel meetings are impossible. ' But
God is with us-who can be against us.
\Ve are leaning hard on Him. Pray for
the word in Llanelly under Bro. Wil-
liam Williams. Will all the Messenger
readers pray with us for a gracious out-
pouring again on Wales. Whatever
comes we'll be true, . and God gets the
glory. Amen.

DR. EDWARD F. WALKER AND FIRST
CHURCH.
About three months ago the First
Church of this city extended to Dr.
Walker a unanimous invitation to be:
come one of its pastors, which, after
careful consideration, consultation and
prayer, he accepted. However, he had
a number of engagements in the East
which were of such importance that he
could not withdraw, nor cancel them.
So it was agreed that he should fill
these engagements and then at once
enter upon his duties in connection with
the church. He is to arrive this week,
and according to this arrangement en-
ters upon his pulpit work next Sabbath,
preaching at both the morning and
evening services. Dr. Walker has been
all his ministerial life a member of the
Church, in which he has
.been an and prominent minis-
ter; for a number of years giving him-
self to evangelistic . service in which he
has been effective and successfuL It is
the glad recognition which his fellow
workers of all churches give him, that
no more able expounder of the Word
.stands upon the American platform or
speaks from pulpits. About a year
ago Dr. Walker felt called of God to
give himself, his life and ministry, to
the Pentecostal C}:J.urch of the Nazarene.
He felt. that it stood clearly in its aim
and doctrine and life for that for
which he stood, as did no other church
with which he had come jnto associa-
tion, and though it offered him lib in-
ducements, but and toil, yet
-
' Nazarene
it was a real undertaking to estab-
lish holiness in the earth. Having
heard the call, he gave himself unre-
servedly to its life and ministry. He
accepted a call to the pastorate of the
church at Pasadena, which he served
nearly a year-until the-District .Assem-
bly. In the meantime the First Church
of this city} extended to hiin the call to
its pastorate. Though it was a matter
of regret both to the church at Pasa-
dena and to Dr. Walker to sever the
pleasant and successful relationship
.there, all realized that it was the call
of God to him to come to Los Angeles,
and he the call.
Dr. Walker is a thorough Nazarene in
doctrine, in unity with its purpose and
methods, and its f ellowship of
souls. He deeply believes in the
call of this church to subsf'rve the cause
of holiness in the earth, and has ('Ollnted
it no sacrifice but a real joy to find
what he feeis is his element and home
He is in the prime of life and comes
to the great work whieh awaits. him
in this church, equipped in experience
and thought, with a strength of man-
hood which it would be diffieult to du-
plicate. We congratulate the church in
the securing of so able and noble a man
to push the work in that great church.
when the church is peculiarly prepared
to unite with him and second his efforts
in every way. The church hRs prob-
ably never been in so good a condition.
It is in perfect harmony and accord in
itself. There are in it no inharmonious
elements. There is in the hearts of
many of its members a depth of reli-
gious experience to which they have
come only through years of faith and
earnest devotion to Jesus an.d his cause.
It has a large membership, and in it
center . many interests, but it has many
capable, devoted and loyal men and
women to bear its burdens and
ate with the pastor in doing its work.

SANCTIFIED P
Feeling is an essential accompani-
ment of life. Cold can-
not exp1ain the entire man. We know
men mo":'e by what they express in their
f eelings than in their words. Passions
r eveal the true character o'f the inan.
One does not suffer or rejoice as much
over what he thinks as over what he
feels. One may think good and not es-
pecially f eel good. It may make him
feel bad unless he has a passion for
good. Passion is an eager outreaching
of mind toward some object either good
'[September 2, 1909
or evil. Some passions are desirable
pleasurable, harmless and good. Pas:
sion becomes harmful when .it l eads to
any object of pursuit that is forbidden.
A passion for music may lead to a waste
of time, and it is sinful to waste time
upon it, without some passion for it.
A passion for lmowledge may so de.
mand one's time and energies as to pre.
vent or disqualify one for useful ser.
vice. Any appetite or propensity right.
ly used brings blessing to the user.
Here true holiness parts with foolish
asceticism. Passion for the best things
overindulged leads to the creation of
means for one's ruin by their abuse.
Many passions of .J?lankind are not
to be 'destroyed, but cleansed, sancti.
fie<i; intensified. Frequently" for want
Qf careful discrimination, s.ome teach.
ers talk about ''eradication'' when they
should be talking of cleansing and
quickening, and the cleansing of what
should be destroyed, or eradicated.
Anger is not a passion in thE! deepest
meaning of the word-a moment's
anger may not prove the existence of
of malevolent passi
0
ns, it is often the
yielding to exciting external conditions.
Hatred is a positive proof of a bad
passion, and men full of hatred are fre.
quently very calm in their exterior, and
yet are ready any moment to say or to
do the most wicked things toward
others. Frequently anger mere re-
sentment, indignation, expressed re
pugnance. Anger is not antithetical to
love-hatred is. Where hatred is anger
is sinful. The Scriptures say, "Be ye
. angry and sin not .. '' A bad affection
is to be destroyed, and replaced with a
good C?.ne; a bad passion is to be
cleansed and filled with God.
Many, by consiantly thinking upon
how they can bring themselves under
proper control only aggravate their
condition by self-attraction. Merely
-toought attention is not enough.,..-but
it is essential. Fortunately, one- does
not have to discriminate in his prayer,
or consecration, or in expressing his
faith. The difficulty exists, Christ is
presented, the atonement is magnified,
his sanctifying grace promised. The
soul's attention is placed on t hese, and
while centered there, by some myster
ious divine process, and indefinable se
quence occurs, and the soul finds its
passions; appetites and propensities all
adjusted, and under control of the Holy
Spirit, while all in'ward activity is sub
jected to the law of love.
'What should be destroyed is gone,
what should be .purified is clean, what

begins.
Sin ceases-and holiness
Many . are greatly troubled by the
positive return of undue power of the
passions and propensities, to their place
of self-assertion and dominance, in the
same form as formerly. In appetites,
dispositions, and tendencies, .the same
conditions recur. All th.is because they
do not distinguish betweeri' cleansing
and eradication. Things cleansed re-
main, but are clean. Things eradicated
arc destroyed. Sanctification does dif-
ferent things to the different powers
of man; dispositions are cleansed, ac
qtiirements are eradicated. That which
is essential to a full, perfect n'la.n is
cleansed, but remains. That which is
not essentially a part of man is de-
stroyed. The heart is made pure, there-
fore sinful affections cease, are de-
stroyed. When sin again gains control,
the personal ma.n reasserts its old form,
and .one thinks the form bas been
merely dormant. When holiness gains
control the form must be according to
holiness-the same passions, propensi-
ties, habits, etc., actuated by another
power.
Remembering that a passion is an
.energy of the soul projected in a given
direction by whatever spirit controls
us, we can see how It would appear or
disappear according to the spirit con-
trolling us. The changes
are slow and according to the .law of
growth. Many differ constitutionally
who enjoy the same experience of grace
as to name. Some possess one passiqn,
some another, relatively developed. In
a limited sense we are subjects of cer-
tain constitutional passions-prenatally
imparted. For God, or the devil, we
will be thus, or nothing. . Here is a
realm I will not enter now. Many
acquire, most live on this inheritance.
we choose, not our constitution but the
power that shall actuate them:- Holi-
ness endows the soul with so much of
God as to entirely free the man from
the bondage of habitual constitutional
tendencies, desires and passions, and
create new tendencies, d esires and
passions. :

which lack corresponden ce with every-
thing in one's self 'and others. So we
are to go on. The feelings are not al- .
ways right; conditions awaken adverse
feelings, wrong passions are pos!3ible,
reason must be neard, thought must be
good, passion must remain under the
Spirit's control, the will must hold all
in harmony with God's will, and f eel-
ing takes its rightful place.
Oh what feelings, emotions, victories,
exultations, y ea, sometimes extacies,
because we have passions, but passions
sanctified unto God through the Spirit.

"BLASTING AT THE ROCK OF AGES."
The above is the sensational article
which appeared recently in one of the
. leading magazines. It purported to
qtiote expressions from men in univer-
sities and colleges, many of them
church institutions, denying the divin-
ity of 9hrist, the sanctity of the domes-
tic relation, denouncing the declaration
of independence as an antiquated piece
of thumbworn rhetoric, etc., etc.
While these men are treated as pop-
. ularly known, we must confess ignor-
ance in that we never heard
names mentigned, at least several of
them, before they found this avenue to
notoriety.
Think of it! These pedantic pulings
"blasting at the Rock of Ages. " Why,
they could accomplish more if they
would get popguns, load them with be-
spittled paper wads, and fire them
across the Atlantic at the rock of
Gibraltar. Don't get frightened, my
brother, at the pretensions of these
''professors. '' wben tbey shall have
blasted away all their days at the Rock
of Ages, they will have had less effect
than if a broken necked gnat had un-
dertaken the job of l)utting down the
Rocky Mountains.

church, and the gates of hell shall not

Los Angeles and Vicinity
AT THE TABERNACLE
Camp meeting was still oii and the
people had been. invited and encour-
aged to camp 'and help. in every way to
push that great meeting. But as it was
not thought practicable to close the
church all the day, the morning prayer
meeting, Sunday school, and preaching
were held. At 11 o'clock Rev. P. G.
Linaweaver of Oakland preached from
Matt. 22 :24, ''What think ye of Christ?
Whose Son is He?'' He spoke of the
fact that all men must think of Him.
No matter what his relationship to
Christ, still he must think of Him. A
man can not date a letter, or do busi-
ness in the courts, or do anything re-
quiring legal proceedings, without giv-
ing some recognition to Him. '. Men may
curse, deny, reject, . crucify Him afresh,
but recognize Him they" must. .
The question, however, is, "What
think ye of Christ?" The fearful teach-.
ing going the rounds these that it
matters not what we think or believe
just so we are sincere, is all of the
devil. A man's thoughts make him-
'' As a man thinketh in his heart so is
he. '' One thinks good or evil, before
he does good or evil. We must be sin-
cere, but we must also be right.
He then discussed the . questions,
What we think pf Him as a man ; as a
friend, and as a prophet? He then en-
. tered the deeper question of His being :
"Whose Son is HeY" and showed the
necessary and essential divinity of
Jesus Christ and how he thus becomes
our Savior. The sermon was full of
clear statements of doctrine and privi-
lege, and much enjoyed and appre-
ciated by the people who were edified
by it.
The afternoon and evening services
were adjourned to the camp ground.

The last day of the feast was indeed
a precious day, a crowd of people being
present at all the services. From the
early morning prayer through the Love
Feast, which was the best I have .ever
enjoyed, on through the preaching ser-
vices of the day, a special freedom and
unction was upon the people. The day
closed with a precious altar service and
a good number prayed through to vic-
tory.
It would be impossible to give the
number who sought God at this meet-
ing; no book, but scores came
through to victory, and our people felt
that this was one of the best . meetings
in our church in yearsr We shall all

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DISTRICT to worship wjth us. Our class meeting
CAMP-MEETING. held at the close of the morning service
[September 2, 1909
recorded in Matt. 6:9-13. The mea.
sage as illuminated to her was in sub.
stance as foJlows: That this prayer
embraces redemption,
the coming of the Lord, temporal,
needs, physi_cal needs, spiritual
1
strength, love of missions, and inl
short, all the fundamental truths in
some measure. NowheT.e in the Old
Testament did those who haq faith in
. God conceive of calling Him their
Father; nor did John the Baptist
attempt to teach such a relation. It
necessitated the coming of Jesus froin
heaven to earth to enable fallen man
to:say "Our Father." Tpe kingdoms
of this world belong to Satan. Jesus
has a spiritual kingdom in the heart
of the believer, but when we pray, .
''Thy kingdom come,'' we mean we
want Christ's kingdom set up on this .
ear.th. The word "temptation" means
"to pierce through with a dart."
Fe:w people have a hand to hand con.
flict with Satan. Their battles are
with his evil spirits; The phrase,
"Lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from evil," is a prayer that
we may not have the personal
slaughts of the evil one that Jesus
. experienced and conquered."
In the evening she dwelt upon the
116th Psalm, and exhorted those
whose souls were dead to come and
beseech the Lord to deliver them.
Four knelt at the altar for conversion
through the day, and two cradle-roll
babies were publicly dedicated to God

. ,While our district superintendent

district camp meeting we wish to re-
port for those that are staying at home
holding the fort for Jesus. .Our all-day
ineeting at .;\lameda last Friday was
owned and blessed of God. There were
only three pastors present but the at-
tendance was good and the spiritual
tide increased all da-y, and one soul
claimed victory in the evening. We
beard say this was the best aU:
day meeting this year. Hallelujah!
. Yesterday was a good day in our
church. The. pastor preached in . the
morning from Acts 15:8, 9, and the
people said amen. At the 3 p. m. holi-

tified layman,. led by reading Isaiah's
description of a sanctified man (Isa. 33:
15, 16) and the Lord graciously poured
out his Spirit and some shouted and
waved their palms in true Nazarene
fashion. In the evening the pastor
again gave the message and one man
found God. while wa have a few good

easy in San Francisco, but it takes
strong crying and mighty faith and

work like a man, seldom have a pain.
I don't think I have passed a night for
years that I did not get up and kneel
down to pray as often as three tiDies.
Daniel kneeled down and prayed three
times a day, so I have the right to
kneel down and pray_ three times a
night. I have been to sunday school

am still fighting the strong drink and
tobacco curse. I believe that tobacco
is the greatest ''idol'' in the world.
Men will sit, chew, smoke, and spit, and
think of almost anything but their

and body and does no good. I 'have

THE SEALING.
If we can learn aright how Christ
was. sealed, we shall learn how we are
., sealed. The sealing of Christ by the
Father was the communication of the
Holy . Ghost in all His fulness to Him,
authorizing Him unto and acting His
Divine power in all. the acts and duties
of His office, so as to evidence the pres-
ence of God unto Him and approprin-
tion of Him. So in God's sealing of lHt-
lievers, He owns them and gives them
His Holy Spirit to fit them for their
relations, to enable them unto their du-
ties, to set their new principles, and in
every way to discharge the work they .

THE USE OF A TONGUE.
God made the tongue; and, since He
never mak es a nything in vain, we may
I
be sure He made it for some good pur-
pose. "What is it's good purpose 7"
thus spoke a teacher one day. "He
made it that we may pray with it,'' an-
swered one. boy.
"To sing with, " said another.
"To talk with people, " said the
third.
"To r ecite our l essons with," replied
dnothrr. .
"Yes, and I will tell :vou what He
did not make it for. He dic1 not make
it for 11s to scold with. to li e with, or
to swear with. He did not mean that
we should say unkind or foolish or im-
patient words with it. Now think every
time you use your tongues if you are
using t hem in the way which pleases
God. " -Sel ected.

said t he questioner, "when you light a

dle more comfortable. or that it may
give light? " He r eplied: " To give

HOW YOU MAY HELP.

. A fe w years ago some eli ild ren read
In tlwir missionnry magnzine of five li t -
tle gi1ls iu Afti t!a. 'Pheir mother ask<'d:
"Would .von not like to pray for
them?" "T,et ns choose they an-
chose one name,
l\ogom ba . "
They did. i10t forget Mgomba. Night
afte1 ni ght they asked God to help her
to lw gootl. YN1rs passed. One nay a
Nazarene Messenger
missionar' from Africa came to their
house. '' Do you know anything about
Mgomba?'' they asked.
'' Mgomba! why, what do you know
about her 1 '' They told h er how they
had r ead about her in their little mag-
azine, and had prayed for her so long;
and wJ:tat a wonderful story she had to
tell! .
Mgomba had been a scholar in this
lady's school. She had been disobe-
dient and careless. She would not even
try to learn or to please them. But a
change came.
"Oh, when was that1" asked the
girls, for they were no longer children.
The missionary remembered the very
month, and-they began to pray for
her! l\fgomba became a happy Chris-
tian, and now sh e is teaching her people
about God.-Unknown.
A BROTHER'S FAVORITE.
A girl who is a favorite with her own
brothers is apt to be popula r with other
girls ' brothers, too; but there is no use
in a girl trying to be nice with her
brothers just when she is in company,
for the sham is easily detected. She
n1.ust be pleasant and ''bon comrade,''
as the French say, all the time, then the
oth er boys will want to find out for
themselves why her brothers like to be
with her .

THE SABBATH QUESTION.
Having noticed the advertisement in
the Messenger of the book, "Seventh
Day Adventism Renounced," by Elder
Canright, I wish to add my endorse-
ment to same, having read the book and
believing it to. be a complete refutation
of one of the most subtle heresies of the
times. I know how that heresy has
been used to impede, if possible, the
work of holiness, and realize the im-
11
portanee of holiness preachers and peo-
ple being well-grounde'd in the truth.
In this connection there are two other
books I wish to commend, viz., "S:un-
day, the True Sabbath 9f God," by. S.
W. Gamble, and "Sunday Is the
bath Day," by N. T. Whitaker. fsup-
pose the Nazarene Publishing
would furnish them. They are
worth a careful reading, and cannot
fail to help all those who wish ljght
on the Sabbath question.

THE DEARTH IN THE CHURCH .
There is a in importunate
prayer.
There is a dearth in hearty, sponta-
neous testimony.
There is a dearth in hilarious giving.
There is a dearth in the conversion
of young men.
There is a dearth in attendance at
prayer meeting.
There is a dearth in the conversion
of sinners.
There is a dearth in the entire sancti-
fication of believers.
. There is a dearth in the preaching of
repentance.
There is a dear-th in the preaching on
hP.ll.
There is a dearth in the preaching
on the witness of the Spirit.
The sure cure for this spiritual apa-
thy in the church is the experience of
Pentecost definitely preached, definite-
ly sought and definitely experienced.
When will the church awake to this
fact ?-Joy Bells.
TRUE AND ABIDING .JOY.
The Agent who was to accomplish
this work and create this joy in the .
soul, is the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, "If
I .go not the Comforter. will not
come ; but if I depart, I will send Him
unto you. And He shall with
you forever. " The Holy Spirit, as the
Executive of the Godhead, in His
special manifestations, has been among
men from the begiri.ning. He was striv-
ing with the antediluvians. He filled
and . instructed special . agents for the
erection of the Tabernacle. He inspired
the prophets and rested upon kings.
David prayed, ''Take not Thy Holy
Spirit from me.'' Elizabeth, the moth-
er of John the Baptist, filled with
the Holy Spirit, and her child was also .
filled with the Spirit from his mother's
womb. The Holy Spirit was with the
disciples before Pentecost. In fact, all
the work of grace ever wrought in
human hearts in all ages has been the
sion to it, and that. the Holy Spirit uses
an unknown,. perhaps an ll-Pgelic, lan-
guage in the attempt to it known.
Tongue can never express the ineffable
bliss that floods ' the whole being when
the blessed Comforter comes to abide.
This is a joy of heaven's own creation,
and the only joy that can fully satisfy
the of a being creat-
ed in the image of God. It is always
available to those willing to pay the
price. It will surely come to the being
that is absolutely surrendered :to the
will of God, and so long as there is har-
mony with that will, the joy will be
abiding and multiplying. Oh that we
could always sing:
''My God, the spring of all my joys,
The life of my delight; ,
The glory of my brightest days,
And comfort of my night.
-Way of Faith.
PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT SOUL WINNERS

for God. People who never get religion

REV. C. L. SHELBY, PARIS, TEXAS, says :-"I 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 have 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, 'M:ounting Up.' This No. is one of
the sweetest songs I have ever heard. These four songs alone are worth
more than the frice of the book. It is just the book you need for your sum
mer meetings. '

ing, pure, satisfying, abiding, inexpres-
sible, "unspeakable and full of glory."
When Paul was caught up into Para-
dise, he saw and heard and felt thmgs
that it was impossible for earthly lan-
guage to describe. We do not wonder
that when the Holy Spirit floods a hn-
man heart with heaven's joy, earthly
iangul\ge is too feeble to give expres;.
