"I Know You Not."
Did ever such an ;\wful sentence fall upon the ear of
man! Stern kings, presidents and governors.have refused
to listen to the pleadings for life of those eyen who have
been their intimate friends, because of the enormity of
their crimes; but here it is the tender, compassionate
Saviour. who is speaking to those who had professed to be
in .His service, but who had done so from. purely selfish
reasons. To be ignored and refused recognition by one
whom we thought to be our friend is a sword-thrust as
keen as death. When this sentence is pronounced it will
be too late . to change it, for a life sp(mt in a false profes-
sion has no claim f or more time when on the.rim of eter-
nit y. It will be no use to plead for more time to do
ther e will be no more time. He who waita until
et ernity sets in before he begins to amend, will have all
eternity t o r egret it and wail about it. "I know you not. "
What an astonisher it will be to many who thought they
were all right! It will be the more a wful becaus e it will
: come f rom the _lips of Him under whose cloak they had
sheltered \Vhile they did their selfi sh work. It will be
awful because it wpl be the Judge who speaks it, whom
t hey might have had for their friend- if they had been
t rue to Him. Oh, it will be an awful banishing sentence
that I do not want to be spoken to me. D9 you?

Sunken Rocks.
Sunken rqcks are more dangerous . than those w)lich
stand out above -the waters and are plainly visibie to the
eye. The visible rock out its own warning, and is
avoided, but the vessel that strikes on a sunken reef go_es
to pieces- very seldom being saved. It is so in our Christ-
. ian life. danger 'to God's people is not so much the
evils that meet us on every hand- drunkenness, . the
theatre, races, gambling, and such like- they carry their.
own warning, and a.re for the most part avoided; but the
sunken rocks-self-righteousness, covetousness, self-will,
murmuring, criticising, fault-finding-these are the hidden
dangers upon which the Christian js apt to go to wreck.
Behind all these is the great sunken reef of Carnality,
.and until the dynamite of the Holy blasts the rocks
to pieces there is always and dangers.
. ..
To become a wreGk .upon these hidden shoals is just as
awful as to lie a shattered hulk the crags of drunk.:..
enness or any other coarse siii. Brother, !Jetter let the
Holy Ghost blast the carnal rock to pieces.

Vain Professions.
Likeness t o God consists not onlyin being in harmony
with His nature, but in being in harmony with Him in all
His will. Whatever professions a. man may make as to
any experience he may have had, if the will of
God in his he has no IJlOre claim to be a Christian
than a man has to be a citizen who is always breaking the
laws of his country or stirring up a revolution against it.
It takes more than a "Say so" 'to make a child of God.
I 'Why' call ye me. Lo'rd. Lord, and do not the things which
I say?" . "Not every one that saith unto me ' Lord, Lord,'
shall enter into tl).e of he that doeth
the will of my Father which is in heaven. " When t hose
who prof ess a high state of grace. have not yet learned. to
control the tongue, hut are snappish, se lfi sh and self-
centered, thei'r influence as Christians does not amount to
much; and they not de'rive any great jo'y from
their profession, f or such conduct does not permit of joy
or peace. If your home or business life does nnt carry out
your prayer meeting professions, you must, to say the
least, be deceiving yourself. o beloved, ma ke no mistakes
on God doesn't .

The Two Main Lines.
There are only two things for a to occupy
his time with-Sin and Holiness. .preaching that gives
any quarter to sin is foolish preaching, as is also preach-
ing that _does not keep :constantly before the people the
necessity of holiness. It is by ''the foofishness of preach-
ing" that men are to be saved, and not by preach-
ing. Doing a foolish thing is that out of which comes no
. practical good..:.... either for time or eternity. Men come to
see that " the foolishness of preaching" has brought saL-
vatiqn to them, and then they see it as "the wisdQm of
God." The rightness of the things of God can only be
trl,lly seen by the renewed nature, and .. never by the
nature controlled .by sin; to that nature, the blood,
righteousness, self-d.enial and the spiritual life,
are all foolishness- they see no beauty in them. What
the worldling thinks are vet:it}es, the Christian knows are
vanities; what the knows are verities, the
worldlings thinks are vanities..:..vain J;hings. Oh, let .us
keep to the old-time preaching- cleansing for sin 1n the
'precious ,blood. P.

PRACTICAL HOLINESS.
E. D. HINCHMAN.
'rhere is a crying need in this day of
stressing holiness, not so much as a doc-
trine, but as a fact manifested in our
l iYeS.
It is possible to be doctrinely correct,
and even be somewhat of an enthusiast
in the advocacy of those doctrines, and
yet squirm nuder a close sermon on the
line of fruitage. There are holiness peo-
ple1 quite a few, "\vl1o are loyal to the
doctrine and who develop quite a shout
in an enthusiastic meeting where the
glory is chiefly spoken of who object to
a wheie the fiuits of the Spirit
are made a test of de"cipl eship, or where
the fruits of the flesh are too
de linea ted. ., ..
:;\lost of these people are emotional,
and very susceptible to what they call a
blessing, and trusting in this as a cer-
tificate of good standing with the Al-
mighty, they often wink at incei"nsis-
teneies in their daily walk.
While it is true that we cannot make
ourselves perfect, except with God's
help, he working in us to will and to
do of his own good pleasure; n everthe-
l ess "c arc exhorted to work out our
owu salvation with fear and trembling.
. We may say that God knows our hearts
(and it is certai n He docs, and we
should be certain he knows them pure)
yet we should remember that the pooplc
do 11ot, and that we arc to let our iight
so shine before men that they may see

WHAT SHALL WE DO WITH SEEKERS?
W. C. WILSON.
This is a: subject that needs much
careful and prayerful study. 'l'hat
t her e is much of the superficial in re-
li gious 1nccti.ngs, and a lack of care,
thoroughness and depth in many quar-
t er s, no t.honghtfnl person will deny.

think, a big l ot of shallo{v work -is clone,

1\I uch of the altar work of today re-
minds one of wagon factories or quggy
shops where a nice looking line of
vehicles is turned out, well covered
with oil, varnish and paint; but a few
rainy days and heavy loads and what is
r eveal ed 1 Old irons, poorly welded;
snarley timber and brash wood. So in
a short time the nice appea1:ing vehicl e
is back at the shop for r ep air. Spokes
must be tightened, a bolt replaced, a
little more oil and varnish, a heavy
coat of cheap paint that will l ast until
the next special meeting.
Honesty and thoroughness in the fac-
tories and shops of this country would
give us a better line of vehicles, and
the same can be said in r efer ence to
work ;f the. aiti.rs.of today.
Where (}od 's word is fearlessly and
unctuously spoken we are sure t hat
men will be cut to the heart and seek-
ers will be forward. "\hat shall we do
with them?
l\fany of us object to signing
and pledge taking methods, and well
we may, but let us r emember there arc
ways of defeating seekers besides
sliding them into dead churches on a
plank, oiled , with card signing, var-
nished with ni ce promises, and painted
with intellectual l oyalty.

i t is too often true that t here is a
tendency to have a "big" time, turning
off lots of wor]c, a large number of pro-
fnssions and a much smaller number of
r e.al possessors.
Someone has said that no question
is settled until it is settled right. There
is no place where this can be more
to profess something before they have

"taki i1g it by tlry faith" is nothing but;
dry imagination, and is not taki1ig it it t
all, and the longer you try to keep tlp .
the imagination the dryer yon get.
It would seem proper, sensible, right
a:i1d scriptural for us at the altar to take
time to let the sinner pray, repent and
confess until God is and lets
them know. Also tell the bclieve1:..,. to
tarry, wait, yield and surely faith w1ll

Him in a complete consecration. So
all aboard for honesty, thoroughness

HOW TO WIN SOULS.
A. C. BANE, D. D.
The Holy Spirit is the great revival-
ist ; sec that He is present and in the
place of l eadership. True r evivals are
not gotten up, but r ather arc prayed
down.
A pastor with a tongue of fire and a
people with hearts of love to sinners,
can a revival.
The normal condition of the church
is a continuous revival through all of
the regular church services, with the
pastor l eading. when t he pastor
preaches in order to bring conviction
upon sinners, and then, after an earnest
exhortation, calls the lmsaved to the
altar, or to take some definite stand
for Christ, he will have few fruitl ess
services. The real revival begins in
one man's heart, in answer to personal
prayer. India 's great revival came in
answer to this prayer: "Lord, send
a r evival and l et it begin in me. " . -
"\Vc cn\mot all be public evangelists,
hut we can all be personal evangelists,
and personal evangelism is most ncctlccl.
The f hnreh -will never do its best in
evangelistic work until each member
hears and )ICcds the great commission,
''Go YE and preach the gospel.''
The most snccessfnl soul-wiimcrs arc
young converts; young people can best
reach young people. You ean talk with
3; 1908]
your friends upon every other subject;
pray until you can talk t.o them of per-
sonal salvation. To succeed in soul-
saving work, personal preparation is
necessary for the worker. God must
deal with the worker before the.worker
can successfully deal with souls. Study
in th.e school of the Spirit; pray for
the spirit of intercessory prayer; great
so11l-winners have always .been men of
much and mighty prayer. Af;l an.equip-
ment for this work, you must yourself
have a vital experience of salvation.
Yon must use much tact as fishers of
men and know that all fish . wont bite
the same bait. Tarry before God until
baptized -\\rith the Holy Spirit, you
will have power. Be earnest, he per-
s istent, use God's word freely. Not
yonr words but God's word will move
men.
Approach men alone if possible, write
a letter or give a tract. Speak to them
"ith love and tenderness. Get a clear
mHlf,rstancling of their case, then use
Seripfnr e wisely. Study to know just
what Scripture to usc to meet individ-
Hal cases and difficulties. 'l'each men
that repentance must be full and com-
plete, then help them to the final act
of faith that saves.

SURREY, N. D.
, This being my first opportunity of
,writing to the Messenger, I am de-
lighted to make a report of".our work in
North Dakota. I have been a Methodist
since I have been saved, and a
preacher for the same church, in local
and regular work, over four years, until
having been bitterly opposed by the
powers that be, to get us to compromise
and tone down, which we could not do,
for if we had clone s.o . the preaching
wouldhave been taken. from us, and so
we stood firm. Ha1lelujah! Glory to
God, it pays to go through. We do
know when we w'ere converted and
sanctified, and when our dear, blessed
Lord sent us out to preach the blessed
gospel, which we have to do. Hallelu-
jah! And since we have been in this
work we have seen saved and
sanctified >vhollv. And our God is
marching on, "old time Gospel" is
just as powerful today to take the devil
out of men's hearts and put the Christ
on the throne, as it was in the clays
of our ,fathers. Hallelujah!
The God of our salvation lead us from
Cincinnati, Ohio, to Surrey, N. D., to
preach holiness as a second work of
grace in the heart, snbseq1jent to re-
generation. "\Ve have. gone through
many hard battles for our God, but
Jesus, the captain of our salvation, has
guided us straight and kept us in the
center of His will, and we have been
true to Him and followed on from vic-
into victory and glory unto glory.
Hallelujah! Our God is a consuming
fire. The Lord . helped us to clig out
and blast out some good jewels for His
kingdom here in North Dakota. and we
believe they will stand until Jesus
comes.
\Ve have now come into the Pente-
costal Church of the Nazarene, where
we can be free to preach holiness .fur
our blessed Lord. \Ve are truly satis-
fied with the choice we have made and
happy in our new church home. About
fifty of the saints came in w.ith us, and
t.here are more to follow. Brother and
Sister Brown, of Seattle, vVash., were
with us. Oh, for more men who will
dare to preach the uncompromising
truth with the Holy Ghost sent down
from heaven . . Bro. Brown did preach
with such miction of the holy fire that
sinners were stirred, and the saints
were inspired, especially when he
pr.eached on the "New Wine. of the
Kingdom.'' Oh, the shining faces! Our
people did gratefully receive the truth
that came from 'God. How good it i"s
to have a m.an come on the field -\.vith
such holy love, and all fired up for God,
and seal the truth and clinch the nails
we have driven! Oh, it did our souls
so much good. Hallelujah! Vve were
not used to having such an "elder"
preach for us. It did us so much good
we had to jump over .it, inid Rho11t and
praise God. Glory 1 : 'fhe devil is doing
best to the work of pure
holiness, but om; God is more than a
matd1 'for him. Glory, hallelujah! We
intend to go through on the hallelujah
line. .
Brother and Sister Brown go from us
with a big "God bless you," a hearty
handshake and a warm place in our
hearts for them.
Our soul is feasting on the good
things of Canaan. Hallelujah! Halle-
lujah ! All out for Jesus, to push the
battles for God and holiness.

MONTANA.
At our meeting at Surrey, North Da-
kota; Rev. H. G. Cowan united with the
Pentecostal Church of the Nazarene.
Bro. Cowan comes from Cowan, 1\IIont.,
and is in North Dakota for only a few
weeks. He has been an ordained elder
in the Methodist Protestant church and
later in the Christian Church. He has
endeavored to preach holiness in Mon-
tana and to return to that
state and take up the battle against
sin. He will now represent the Pente-
costal Church of the Nazarene, and we
trust his work will open the way for us
in that needy field. He informs us that
in geneial the spi1;itual condition in
l\fontana is very low. He knows of no
holiness preachers. The pastor of one
church informed him: that ,all . of his
members would attend the theaters,
dance and play cards. "\Vhile there arc
some con vertccl people there seems to
be little or no aggressive spirituallife-
cspcC'ially in the towns is it at a low
ebb. \Ve ask the prayers of God's peo-
ple for blessing and power on our work
in l\Iontana. \Ve are planning to visit
l\Iontana and do some special \YOrk
there as soon as possible.

PORTLAND, ORE.
\Ve truly have 1i1any reasons to be
thankful. . Every week sees some one
saved or sanctified. Last Sunday se\r-
eral stood up for prayer and one man
came to the altar and prayed through
to victory in the morning, and one in
the evening. The following united with
us in church fellowship: Rev. 0. F.
Goettel, and his wife, Lula l\I. Goettel,
Brooks, Ore., and l\Irs. l\1. Favorite, .a
missionary from Alaska.
Rev. and Mrs. Goettel come to us from
Evangelical ehnrch, of Brool{s, Ore.,
where our brother has been the pastor
... for some time, but owing to his clear
and definite preaching and teaching of
holiness as a second definite worlc of
grace, he was no longer wanted at that
place. "\Ve say no longer wanted, for
this brother had called an evangelist
of his own church, Rev. Guy F . Phelps,
a man who is straight on holiness, to
help him in a revival meeting, a few
[December 190R
weeks ago, when his church p1'actically
closed thei1 doQ.rs against these breth-
l.'Cn and would not stan<} hy them nor
the meeting, because they preached hol-
iness. U1Hler these circumstances
Brother and Sister Goettel felt it their
_!:luty mid privilege to come where they
could have liberty and fellowship and
wlJ_g_re their work would be preserved
aud their fed aud cared for.
\Ve are glad to weleomc this brother
and sister into the family and to com- .
mend them to the brethren wherever
they may go. Bro .. Goettel is a natural
evangelist and is much assisted by his
good wife who is .a good organist and
singer. We bespeak a great future for

While she was lmiting with the church,
God spoke to one sister and told her to
give this sister $50.00 towards her
schooling, which she did. Our God
answers prayer!
Last week we reported a brother giv-
ing $321.00 for Hope School, India, to
be used for .a missionary, Bible woman

amount another check for $50.00 has
come in for that same work, for a boy

and one last night seeking pardon.

From the very b eginning God began to

during the week seeking souls were at
the altar. Last Sunday was another
special day of victory. Not only at
night were there many seekers at the
altar, but in the afternoon, we held a
revival service for the Sunday School.
God was in our midst and when t he in-

crowded with the slleking

EDfJ:ORIAL
HEART ACTIVITIES.
It is evident that Jesus Christ r e-
gards heart action as. the vital part of
life. When the disciples asked ""What
shall we do that we may work t he
works of God 1 '' Jesus answered :
"'l'his is the work of God, that ye be-
lieve on. Him '"hom He hath sent."
He also hints that the moral quality of
intellectual activity is differentiated by
the heart, for: ''As a man thinketh in
his heart, so is he .. " It is the heart
going out in thought, and then in
outer activities, ''"hich giYes color and
strength or weakness to character, and
merit or demerit to activities. \Vhen
our Lord, the Ghrist, takes possession
of our being, His throne is the heart
which, clemisecl from every impt1re love
and desire, He fills with His own l ife.
Out from Him, through transfigured
love, all Christian life flows. As a
m.an loves, he is noble or base, Christian
or clevilish. . If love pure and Christly
towards others nioves, prompts volit-
ional acts, soul is in a praiseworthy
state, and the benediction of .heaven is
upon it, however much the beneficial
results o those acts may be determined
by the amomit of wisdom entering into
them. little the or if
even the rest1lts. were the opposite of
beneficial , yet the projector Qf. the acts,
moved by pure l oYe, would stili he
crowned. So f in as the doer is con-
ccrn.ed, the real act is the heart act.
The greatness of the act is me[fsurcd
by the strength and intensity of the
love, and not outward possibilities.
Na:zarene Messenger
This is why seemingly ahnost insig-
nificant acts, and small gifts,' burst out
into a giandure like the sunrise, while
seemingly great acts fade away and are .
forgotten. The gift of the two mites
was so much than great amounts
of gold and silver because of the
greater love that prompted it, and that
the poor woman bathing with her tears
and wiping with hei hair the feet of
J esus was doing so much more tha:n
host whose guest He was-she loved
1i1uch. Jesus emphasized the criminal-
ity of heart cmrditions, plainly declar-
ipg that hatred is murder, that 'covet-
ousness is t he:(t, and lust adultery.
'l'hat while outer acts more espcoially
affect society, yet heart condition is
t he act which glorifies or condemns the
individual; by it we stand or by it W!3
fall. Out of the heart proceedeth both
life and destiny. The great crucial
provision of the Gospel is a pure heart.
''Blessed are the pure in heart,'' and
out of this flows all subsequent, glorify-
ing beatitudes.

SPIRITUAL THINGS.
Vve wish to emphasize the necessity
that spirituality be valued, esteemed,
honored and reverenced. The most in-
sidious attacks : made upon us are
against spirituality. Fiequently-be-
cause seemingly most vulnerable-
against. . the varied manifestations
which more or l ess attend deeply spir-
itual conditions. Pentecosts of
spiritual power, such as are necessary
to move men, are especially obnoxious
to unspi ritual people. They often de-
spise, ridicule and turn f rom them.
They ar e quite frequently, not .regarded
as being in good taste, ariel .t.liose' con-
nected with such manifestations as not
of the elite, and necessarily of the boor-
ish ci ass; and churches where these
conditions exist, as without tone and
proper caste. Spiritual churches are
made to feel t_his, and the danger is
that it 'Will, unperceived, pierce
through. the jo1nts . or the armor and
find lodgment in the soul. That the.
s(igmatti. will not be a matter of joy,
but that the tempter will find , access
an<} there spring up desire and deter-
mination that the excellent
which ai'c known to exist, shall be
recognized. 'l'o this i:mcl unpopular
'manifestations or demonstrations arc
cliscouragccl or suppressed that things
mHy he made respectable and. possibly
after a time el egant. There is a sad
tendency to seck this by some influ-
ential holiness preachers, to '' c.ap
[December 3, . 1908
down" as they call it the "wells, or
gushers,'' and to. be lik(:l others for
sake of others, until there is 'not only
no manifestations of the Spirit, but no
realization of His presence. A sad il-
lustration of this is found in the recog-
nized condition of Methodism in Bos-
ton.
As an illustration of warning to our
own people, and the holiness pepple
we repr0cluce a r ecent edi-
tor:lal from. Zion's Herald of Boston:
'An Indictment Against Boston Methodism. ;.
"The Standard of Chicago (Baptist)
cop,tains in the issue of Nov. 11 a com-
prehensive and refreshingly frank con-
tribution in answer to the inquiry: 'Is
Protestantism Dying Out in Boston?'
Referring to the :Methodists, it is said:
'' 'The story of the Methodists can
be easily told. They have about thirty
churches within the city limits, most of
which are small, only two of which are
over 500 in . :and . five
others over 300. 'l'he presence of Bos-
ton University, which has had an hon-
orable career for about a quarter of a
century, adds Jincleecl much to their
position, but for the most part the life
of the city moves on quite unconscious
of their existence. One of the leaders
of this denomination admitted to me
the other clay' tluit the five leading
churches in the city were in a mori-
bound condition. In his opinion what
Boston l\Iethodists needed most was a
r evival of the spirit of Jesse Lee. The
New England atmosphere has without
doubt affected l\Iethodism. Its blood
and fire have disappear ed, . Becoming
conscious of its offences against cul-
ture, in its endeavor to become accli-
mated to the theological and ecclesias-
tical life of Boston it has lost the very
thing constituted 'its strength,
and has become colorless, neither one
thing nor the other.'
''This is a h eavy indictment, aml the
worst that can be said of it is that it
is st:1ictly trne in statement of fact as
well as reason. \Vhat l\Iethod ism in
Boston and New England specifically
and most urgently needs is to be true
to its historic genius, spirit .and work,
and, in our fonncler 's words, be 'at it
and always at it,-' and then respect our-
selves while doing it, .with mnch less
concern about other del10minatiom; and
their l egitimate way of cany ing on
their work.''

AN INCREASING CONVICTION.
Among obscning thinking men
there seems to be an inereasing convic-
tion that there is an incoming .ticle of
r eligious life; which will sweep on,
r eaching further and higher than any-
thing in the past. "Whether the signs
of the t imes warrant those-who study
them in these conclusions .or not. mnst
be l eft largely for each thinker to
answer for himself. No one cn11 qnes-

tion that iniquity abounds; that the
love of many has waxed cold; that the
world is still "m,oney-mad ; " that the
devotees of amusement and pleasure
ar e multiplied beyond conception; that
pagan cults are being revived and
dressed_ in Christian eriswarthments,
and finding large following in Christian
l ands; and that much of the world in
Christian and heathen countries is sub-
m<'l'ged in unspeakable sin.
But it is' also probably true that
t here are more holy people than ever
before, that t heir influence is more
widely felt, and that t he eyes of many
ar c being opened by the . Holy Spirit
to the folly . of"money worship and
that there is a better way; and men
who know God are looking to Him
wi t h divinely inspired expectancy.
As an expression n ot coming ftom
a churehly source we. publish the fol-
l owi ng r ecent editorial from the. Los
Angeles Times, one of the great daily
papers of tliis country, on
The Strengthening of Belief.
"E\'eu t he car el ess observer of men
and t he ways of men must be impressed
wi t h the present steady trend of the

AT THE TABERNACLE-
The shout of victory was in the air,
from the eight o'clock prayer meeting
to the close, near 10-_e at night.
the whole Sabbath day there is
little time, but what the services in
some form a camp meeting ar_e
ing on.
At 10 o'clock Dr. Bresee -preached
from Joshua 1:8, "Thou Shalt Have
Good Success.'' His theme was ''As-
sured Success. " It was not personal
success, but the success of the work .of
God. Personal success is so braided
into the eternities it is difficult to dis-
cuss, . but under any. seeming victory
or defeat, is sure to him who is
joined to J esus Christ ; but the subject
here is the success of the work of God.
The means, instruments and agen-
cies ordained of God are efficient and
sufficient, and : ensure success. '!'he
sword which l eaped from the lips of
Him whose eyes are as a flame of fire,
and there. are many crowns upon His
head, and His vesture is dipped in
blood, and has written on His vesture
.. . .and on His . thigh: "King of _ Kings
and Lord of Lords ;'' lias not lost its
edge, and the breath from those -lips
will never allow it to become effete.
That sword, which is the Word of God,
pierced the hearts of men, and the per-
sonal Holy Ghost coming in, cleansing
and filling and thrilling the soul with
divine power, makes an agency after
the heave11ly pattern which is sufficient
to do the work of God.
The afternoon serYice was in charge
of Bro. Pierce, who after a brief mes-
sage on ''Preparation for the Revival,''
swung the meeting loose for holy t esti-
mony and praise. Great freedom was
enjoyerl, and the meeting, which was
never dismissed, is going on yet in the
hearts of the people.
The evening Evangelistic service was
in charge of Bro. Goodwin, who
brought the message from Jolm 1:43,
drawing some l essons in Wip,.-
ning'' from Mark 1 :1-9. He
upon us the great business of the
Church was to bring men to Jesus
Christ. All should become soul win-
ners. We should study t he art of win-
ning men as _one of the finest arts in
the world.
There were four seekers at the altar,
two for h eart purity and two for par-
non. All were divinely touched, and
s-a v,c testimony at altar of obtaining
they sought. One who had been
saved at the street meeting, gave glad

''Second Blessing,'' and had prayed

and salvation.

A REAL THANKSGIVING SERVICE.
The service on Thanksgiving morn-
ing at the First Church, Los Angeles,
Cal. , was not a service of duty or com-
pulsion, but one of glad outbursting of
grateful h earts to a gracious Father.
A fine audience was present, among
whom were seen many from surround-
ing churches-Pasadena, Grand avenue,
Vernon, Elysian Heights and Ontario-
with pastors Hutchens; Langdon, Reins-
micht, La Fontaine and several other
preachers . .
The service was . opened by Dr.
Bresee giving out" All Hail the Power
of J est1s 's Name," w hiclMound a glad
response in all hearts, and was sung
with great earnestness.
The was preached by Dr, E.
F. Walker, pastor of Pasadena church,
and was a .clear, earnest and unctuous
message from Ps. 103 :12, full of great
truths and sunshine, and was a great
blessing to the people. Among many
good things the speaker said:
''This is a psalm of praise without a
petition. It properly follows the pre-
ceding one on prayer. A praise se;rvice
is always in order .if a prayer service
has . preceded it. If we would have
,more praying, we would have more
praisings. Blessing God is better than
praising Him. His material works
.,praise Him, but His saints bless Him.
We have power to grieve or delight
God, and we have the power to bless
Him. We-have it in our power to make
God glad, we can add to the felicity of
heaven, This ought to be especially
so with Pentecostal Nazarenes."
At this part of the sermon, Bro. Wal-
ker asked all . who were really Pcntc-
costal -Nazry.rencs in heart to rise flnd
shake hands with their neighbor. This
was done amidst great rejoicing, while
lDecember. 3, -.1908:
the. large congregation isang: "I'm
Orie of tliem. ''
' The speaker than dealt with the
"perfect,_ .gifts of God, saying, "We
are lower critics but higher believers.
The psalmist then chooses :five precious
jewels and them on the neck of
gratitude-forgiveness, health and soul-
healing, loving kindness and tender
mercies. The Lord brings us out of
the prison house of condemnation, and
also out of the pesthouse of soul dis-
eases. I have a certificate of health-
all well.. ' A'' man who has been healed
of all diseases has got soul-health. He
then crowns us with loving kindness
and tender mercies. This is
and the highest. Oh, I'm in love
with iove. We need our Pentecost be-
fqre we can really observe Thanksgiv-
ing_ Day."
The speaker then dealt with the
words of the text, ''and all that is with-
in me;'' all my insides, sho,:ing that
nothing could praise God except that
which was right with God, so that if
a mjan praised God with ''all that was
within him," he gave a full service.
'\Ve are sure that this precious ser-
vice and sermon was a great blessing
to all present, While those who were
not pres.ent missed something .that
would have . added to their thanks-
giving. R. P.

GRAND A VENUE CHURCH.
With a touch of the Pentecostal
Glory that was characteristic of the
general assembly the services of the
Grand Avenue Church on last Sabbath
went forward with a bound of victory
and blessing all through the day. Bro.
Le Fontaine preached at 11 :00 a. m.
on" The Liberation of Peter," through
the prayers of the Church, and at night,
on ''The Eyes of the Lord,'' from 2
Chron. 16 :9. The altar services were
especially lmctuous in seeking souls
being wholly sanctified and coming
through into victory with a shout of
glory. The Thursday night service on
Thanksgiving day was addressed by
Bro. Pierce and a triumphant march
was enjoyed by all the souls.
The Sabbath school is preparing a
service for Christmas Eve,
and many new scholars are being added
every Sabbath to the roll. Come in and
enjoy our r egular services and the Lord
will bless you.

evangelists in the country. He is fear-

THE "POWER" HERESY.
This heresy is especially to
the East, an cl "is fouu.clccl on Acts 1 :8 :

uses the . er j:ors . in the old version to
f ast en his her esies en. so many Il"eople.
'rhis passage is really the great citadel
of this her esy. Onl;.r a few clays ago I
h eard a New- York evangelist manipu-
late this passage ivith great force while
preaching in a holiness college, urging
the sanctified p eople to comq to the a.l-
tni ancl ''seek power, some r esponding to
. the in-vitation. .
It is a shame that holiness people do
not walk in all the light. God gives
them; as only in this way can they be
justified, mucli l ess sanctific?-. The
true r eading of this passage JS very
cl ear and b eautiful : ''You shall r eeei.Ye
the power of the Holy 'Ghost having
come upon you;" i : e., the Holy Ghost
is the !)O,ver, a_ncl the only
power, you ever can r ece1ve.
"Then, Brother Godbey, you make
sanctification the ultimatum of all
pl'ogress." Nay, verily; it. is the. b.ec

God is infinitel y greater .than the wat- .

Ghost in entire sati sfaction, yon go on
to know Him in a rieher, more copious
and glorious ki10wleclge.
This J1eresy is very adroit, like Satan,
