1 flM THE LORD THAT YEALETH THEE An Address Given by Evangelist Smith Wigglcsworth at Springfield, ILba

"Is any sick ambng you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him..anointing with oil in t h e n h h e o f the Lord: and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord rhall raise him up: and if he have com- Idittetl sins, they shall be forgiven him" (James 5:14.15).

W e have in this'precious word a real ba'sis for the truth of healing. In this scripture God gives very definite instruc- tions t o the sick. If you are sick, your en is t o call for the elders of the church: l t is their part t o anoint and pray for fou in faith, and then the whole situation iests with the Lord. When you have been anointed and prayed for, you can

tained a very urgent request that we g o immediately and pray for a man who was dying. W e went off in a u auto as fast as possible and in about an hour and a half reached a large house in the country where the man r h o was dying resided.

. There were two staircases in that house, and it was extremely convenient, for the doctors could g o up and down one, and my friend and I could g o up and down the other, and s o we had no occasion to meet one another.

I found on arrival that i t w a s a case of this sort. The man's hody had been b r o k n . he was ruptured. and his bowels

rest assured that the ~ o r d *ill Gise you up. I t i s . the word of God. ' . I believe that we all can see that the church can not play with this business. I f ' a n y turn away from these clear in- stntctions they are in a place of tremendous danger. Those who refuse t o obey, do -so to their urispcakable loss. '.James tells us' in connection with this,

?f a n y of you do err from the truth, ~ % d 01% convert him, let him know, thdt h e which converteth the sinner from the error of his ways shall save a soul f rom death." Many turn away from the Lord Eke King Asa. who sought the physicians in his sickness and consequently died. afld I take it that this passage means that if one induces another to turn bark to the I;o.rd, he will save such from death and God will forgive a multitu4e of sins that they have committed. This scripture can d s o have a larce application on the line of salvation. If you turn away from any part of God's truth. the enemy will certainly get an advantace over yotc.

Dnes the Lord meet those who look to Him for hcalinq and obey the instruc- tions set forth in James? Most assured- lv. Let me tell vou a story t o show how H e will undertake for the most extreme case.

One dav I had h e m visitinq the sick. i n d was with a friend of mine. an arrhi- trct. when I saw a young man frcm his oftice cnminc down the road in a car holding in his hand a telegram. I t con-

SPECIAL OFFER As a few of us said good-bye to Brother

Smith Wigglesworth a s he left Spring- field for Chicago, Elder D. W . Kerr re- marked, "That man has left a deposit in my gpul that will be there for eternity."

Pastor Henry Whittley writes f rom Santa Rosa. California, "I Lave been through the large &mpaigns of Dr. Bax- ter of h n d o n , of Dr. Grattan Guinness and Dr. Canlpbell Morgan; I have attended the reviva1 meetings of Moody, Torrey and Chapman, but I have never heard anylhing equal to the teaching of this humble man of God, Brother Wig- glesworth, a s I heard him in San Fran- cisco, Oakland and a t our own mission!'

Brother Wigglesworth preached twenty-two times in Springfield and we trust to be able to reproduce most of these sermons in the Pentecostal Evangel. W e want every one t o get the benefit of these important messages and to receive this divine "deposit" of faith in their souls that these messages bring.

In order to induce new subscribers t o try the Evansel. we are offer in^ the paper from now until Jan. 1st. 1924 (if the Lord tarry), for the sum of one dollar onlv (Canada. 1 .25 : Gt. Britain, 5'6). This spccial offer applies to new suh- srripqions onlv and not to renewals. Cnspcl Pub!ishing House, Springfield, No .

had been punctured in two places. The discharge f rom the bowels had formed , abscesses and blood poisoning had set in. T h e man's face had turned green. T w o doctors were in attendance, but they saw that the case was beyond their power. T h e y had telegraphed t o London for a great specialist, and, when we arrived. they were a t the railway station await- ing his arrival.

T h e man was very near death and could not speak. I said t o his wife. "If 8

you desire, we will anoint and pray foi him." She said, "That is why I sent for you!' I anointed him in the name of the Lord and asked the Lord to riise him up. Apparently there was no change. God often hides what H e does. From day t o day we find that God is doing wonderful things, and we receive reports o f healings that have taken place that we heard 'nothing about a t the time of o m meetings. Only last night a woman came into the meeting suffering terribly. HEr whole a r m was filled with poison, and her blood was s o poisoned that it was certain t o hring her to her death. W e re. buked the thing. and she was here thfs morning and told us that she was without pain and had slept all night, a thing she had not done for two months. T o God be all the praisc. You will find.He will d o this kind 'of thing all along.

A s soon a s we anointed and prayed for this brother we went down the back staircase and the three doctors came up the front. staircase. A s we arrived down-

'stairs, I said to my friend who had come with me. "Friend. let me have hold of your hands." \Ve held each other's hands. and I said to him, "Look into my face and let us arree together aeeord- i n a to Matthew 18:19 that this man should he brouaht out of this death." W e laid the whole matter before God, and said. "Father. we heliere."

Then the conflict hemn. The wife came down t o us and said. "The doctors have pot all their instruments out and they are ahout to operate." I cried. "What? Look here. he's your hushand. and I tell you this. if those men operate on him. he will die. Go back and tell them you

can not allow it." 'She went back to the doctors and s a ~ d . "Give me ten minutes." They s a ~ d . "We can't afford to, the man k dymg and it is your .husband's only chance." She said, "I want ten minutes, a l ~ d you don't touch his body until I have had them." , s l h e y went downstairs by one staircase and we went up by the other. I said to the woman, " T h ~ s man is your h u s b a ~ d , and he can not speak for himself. I t is now the time for you to put your whole trust in God and prove H i m wholly true. You can save him from a t l ~ o u s a ~ ~ d doctors. You must stand with God rrud for Cod in this critical hour." Aftcr that, we came down and the doctors wellt up. The wire faced those three doctors and said, "You shan't touch this u ~ ~ n ' s body. H e is my husband. I am s w c Illat if you operate on him he will dlc. but he w ~ l l live if you don't touch him."

S ~ ~ l d e ~ i l y the man in the bed spoke "Cod has done it," he said. They rollcd back t l ~ e bed clothes a n d the doctors ex- a n ~ i ~ ~ c d him, and the abscesses were cut clcar away. The nurse cleaned the place where they had been. The doctors could see the bowels still open and they said to Ule wife, "We know that you have great faith, and we can see that a miracle has take11 place. But you must let us unite tllesc broken parts and put in silver tubes. and we know that your husband will be all right after that, and it need not inter- fere with your faith a t all." She said to t11el11. "Cod has done the first thing and H e can do the rest. No man shall touch hi111 now!' And God healed the whole thing. And that man is well and strong today. I can give his name and address t o any who want it.

D o you ask by what power this was done? I would answer in the words of Peter, "His name, through faith in His name, n u d e this m a n strong." T h e anointil~g was done in the name of the Lord. And it is written. "The LORD .hall raise him up!' And H e provides the c lod~le cure; even if sin has been the cause of the sickness. His Word declares. 'If he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven."

You ask, "What is faith?" Faith is the pril~ciple of the Word of God. T h e Holy Spirit. who inspired the Word, is called the Spirit of Truth , and. a s w e receive with meekness the enprafted Word, faith springs up in our heart-faith in the sxrifice of Calvary: faith in the 611ed I~lood of Jesus; faith in the fact t h t H e took our weakness upon Him- self. has borne our sicknesses and car- ried our pains, and that H e is our life today.

Cod h-s choseh us t o help one anoth-r. W e dare not he independent. H e brings us t o a place where we su l~mi t ourselves t o one another. If we refuse to do this. we pet away from the IVord of God and out of the place of faith. I have been in this place once and I trust I shall never be there again. I went one time t o a rnerting. I was very, very sick. and I got worse and worse. I knew the perfect will of Cod was for me t o humble mvcelf and ask the elders t o pray for me. I put it off and the meeting finished. I

THE PENTECOSTAL EVANGEL

W e are a s yet in the kindergarten stage of the school of the Holy Ghost. Christ's ministry of three years was a progressive one. The transfiguration was not the first miracle. T h e prayer of the 17th of John was not the first prayer. There were stages of Christ's manifestation of His Godhead, of His ministry, of Hi s miracles, of His whole life; and s o there is a progressive revelation of the office work and manifestation of the Holy Spirit.

~en tecos ta l ' people who have received the Spirit and are walking in the Spirit have graduated from the primary class. While some think they are in the last year of high school, none have gone much beyond the primary. There are unexplored fields, unfathomed depths, below and above, into which the Spirit will lead you.

"Whom say ye that I am?" Jesus asked of Hi s disciples. Peter answered 'Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus said to him. "Flesh and blood hath not' revealed it unto thee, but My Father which is inheaven!' There were stages in. Peter's growth in the school of Christ.. And so in the school of the Holy Ghost. If He. the Holy Ghost, should put the question, "Whom say ye that I am?" what would the answer be? Some say one thing and some say another. S o m e sag of Him a s H e manifests H i s Presence, "It is from the pit." But from those who know the meaning of the.latter rain the right answer comes. "Flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but My Fathcr which is in heaven."

Where you are today, baptized one, is no ground for boasting, but rather for a confession of dependence upon the grace that revealed .the truth. If you think you know all, that is all you will get. I f you acknowledge that you have ~ u s t entered into the unexplored. unknown re- gions of the height and depth and length and breadth of the knowledge of Christ, and that implies the knowledge of the Holy Ghost, then you are a fit candi- date to be taught more. "Unto every one that hath shall be riven. and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hat h!'

There is a promessire revelation in the school of thc Holy Ghost, and that revelation comes with manifestations and dcm- onstrations of the Holv Chost. who al- wavs-never fails te .c lnr i f ies Christ and thc Farhrr who gave Him.

Spirit-filled people. of whatever class, are links, are channel-, t l~rough whom the Rolv Spirit, tlie Comforter. the Di- vine Third Person of the Trinity, is broirght into toilrh I!-ith and bnitrd to the earth, ant1 thcrcl,y the earth isuni ted and kcpt unitrd to Iiraven. So Cod the Fa- ther, God the Son. and Cod tlie Holy Ghost arc united to the earth by means of the incarn~t ion of the Son. the out- pnilrinq and manifrstation. and the con- tin~roirz orltpoilrinp of th r cpirit.

Sp;rit-fillcd peoplr. of whatever rrecd or denomination. have a m;lrvcllo~~s ofire. the hi~.l~r.;t lact office of this diqpensa- tion. l~rirryinc h e a v ~ n to ear111 and earth to Iiearen. The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth.

Fund For New Press. : W e have been encouraged of late to

see how funds have come in for a new press, without any appeals being made . for the same, especially a s our old press,

- which is over 40 years old, is beginntng . t o d o very poor work. W e lost two days in printing the last Evangel because of a

-

number of troubles in the press, and even after that, we found that some parts of the printing on some copies of the Evan- gel could not be read.

There are many who desire that the Evangel should return t o a weekly paper. W e could then use a larger type and the paper would be much more readable, and the editorial department would not have to hold hack good copy for months a t a time for lack o i space. W e trust t o be able to make some definite announcement on this line in the near future.

But it would be a very difficult matter to print a weekly paper with our present equipment and it will be practically a necessity t o have a new press installed. Most of the money has already been sub- scribed by interested Evangel subscribers, and only about $2,000 more is required. The members of our great Evangel family have been so good in the past that we believe they will a t this time want to have their part in completing the fund. and thereby opening the way for the Evangel to become a weekly paper again.

T H E CENTRAL B I B L E INSTITUTE. Brother Kerr, in another part of this

paper, reports thc good progress being made in the new Central Bible School. The funds have practically been sub- scribed by the citizens of Springticld for the gift of an ideal site of 15 acres. A t the present time all the students have to live in rented rooms, and this is both expensive and unsatisfactory. W e are de- sirous of beginning a t once on the main building and dormitories, and many of the students are anxious to work their way through school by their labor on the new building. When dormitories are erected, school fees can be reduced, and

-many more students will be able to at- tend.

The management of the school have decided to "cut their coat according to their cloth," and not go into debt in the building of the school. but rather to build according to funds received. W e believe

' that this school presents a splcndid in- vestment for those who have the Lord's money to dispose of. The building will be put up with thc grcatest economy, using the labor of the students. and something permanent for the training of min- isters and missionaries will be erected. Funds should be sent to Bro. W. C. Peirce. Ser--Treas., 1200 Campbell St., Springfield, Mo.

T H E F I V E MOST PRECIOUS T H I N G S I N T H E UNIVERSE.

I was In a Public Llbrary the o:her day and picked up a book which contained a lecture that a certain popular preacher has given from one end of thls country to the other. I t was the story of the flndlng of the Golconda Diamond Mlne. The preacl~er passed on the story just a s he had gotten It: It may not have been all true. but there was a fine moral to be gotten out of It. The preacher got one moral. and I. another. I wlII retell the story as fa r a s I remember it and t rust It wlll be a par- able of worth to some.

A certain farmer In Persla had ahout erervtlling 11e wanted. and was ahout a s conte~ilcd as any man of the world can he. untl' n day came when an old prie-t v l ~ i t ~ d him and began to talk to hlm ahout dinmonds. A streak of arar ice was awakened in the farmer's heart when he heard how rich a person

would be If he owned a diamond mine, ' and he got so discontented tha t a t last

he sold hls farm and all hls belongings and went prospecting for dlamonds. H e never found any, and, reduced to rags, havlng spent hls last cent, he ended his miserable h f e by sulclde.

One day, the man who had purchased the farm was watering his horses a t a sandy creek on the property when he. noticed a pretty looking stone. He Plcked it up and took ~t into the house. and It happened that a few days later the old priest was visiting round that way and saw it. He decided it to be a diamond and asked where i t had been found. They went down to the creek, and when further search was made, several more were found. One of the diamon.ds discovered on thls farm was the famous "Kohinor" that was later put In the crown of Queen Victoria of England. and a slmilar stone from thls mine found its way into the crown of the Czar of Russla.

This is the story. he moral, that you can find a diamond mlne just where you are. The preacher showed how fo:ks could make money just where they were If they would keep thelr eyes open for opportunlties.

After reading thls lecture, I went diamond. huntlng. Not on any farm. but just where tfie psalmlst went when he crled. "Open Thou mlne eyes. tha t I may behold wondrous thlngs o u t of Thy lam." The old Book 1s the placo in which to search for hld treasure, for that whlch 1s better than rubles (and they a r e worth more than dlamondsl. and all the thlngs that may be deslred can not be compared to that whlch you can find there. And I made the dlscov- ery of the five most preclous t h l n g In the unlverse. Want to share them with me? All right. hclp yourself.

If Peter had stayed with hls nets I don't thlnk he would have gotten very rlch. but In his epistles he tells us a llttle of the wealth he had stumbled on- to. Something greater than was ever found by Golconda's creek. I wlll enum- erate these precious thlngs one by one.

The first is LIKE I'RECIOUS FAITH ( 2 Pet. 1:l) Have you recelved? Do you ask. "How?" Falth cometh by hearing, and hearlng by the word of God.

Thls fa the "like precious faith" t h a t , He wants you to obtain and retain. H e Invites. "Ask and It shal: be given you."

Tha t Is not all. Peter speaks ot THE TRIAL OF POlJR FAITH, BEING - MUCH MORE PRECIOUS THAN GOLD. Do you welcome trials? - I remember hearing one mature old salnt saylng, ''I welcome them all. I don't want to be a dwarf when God wants to make .8 glant of me. These are the things to make us grow." Abraham proved tha t the trlal of his faith just revealed Je-- hovah's provlslon. The children of Is- rael proved this a t the Red Sea. Men l ~ k e Hudson Taylor and George Muller proved It over and over agaln. and so has every one else who has been t rue to the last ha:f mlnute. The Psalmlst knew thls when he sang. "For Thou, 0 God, hast proved us, Thou hast trled us. a s sllver 1s tried. Thou broughtest us Into the net. Thou laldest affllctlon upon our lolns. Thou hast caused men to ride over our heads; we went through Bre and through water; but 4 Thou broughtest h s Into a wenlthp place." A place of more wealth than a room full of Kohinor and C'ulllnan dlamonds.

Yet more treasure, THE EXCEED- IXG GREAT AND PRECIOUS PROM- ISES ( 2 Pet. 1 : 4 ) . I t Is by these we a re made partakers of the divlne nB- ture. We hardly know where to begin when we enter thls vast s tore house. What a n lnexhauatlble mlne In the Psa:ms alone, In the multltudlnous promlsea to save and keep and heaI a n d preserve and feed and sustaln, to guide and uphold; In short, to keep us from all evll and allow no plague to come nigh our dwelllng.

Then In the New Testament. "What- soever ye shall ask In My Name. I wlll do It." And that wonderful promlse to send the Comforter. Never shall I forget the day when I lnld my finger on Acts 1:5 and definltely appropriated tha t promiae, ",Ye sba:l be baptlzed wlth the Holy Ghost not many days hence," nor that glorlous day when tbe Lord fulfilled thls precloua promlse to me personally. Do you say wlth the Psalm- 1st. "I rejolce a t Thy word, a s one tha t Bndeth great apoil"? If so. you will also testlfy with hlm. "The law of Thy mouth 1s better unto me than thousands of gold and sllver."

Peter goes on to say to us that we have not been redeemed with corruptible thlngs. such as sllver and gold. but wlth THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF CFIRIST. When the passover lamb was s:ain In Egypt. the blood was preserved In a hason. and then placed, according to dlrectlons. on the lintel and the slde posts. I t was preclous. I t meant so murh to the household. especially the firstborn. It spoke also of the e ~ o d u s , for I t was -chose who were under the shelter of that r redous blood who were brought out of Egrpt . T f this blood was predous. how much more preclous Ie the hlnod of Jesus. by which our eternal redemption has been purchased?

"A G R E A T H I G H PRIEST!' "We have a great High Priest" (Hcb.

1:14; 8:l). The priest under the law had a twofold charicter. H e represented God to the people, and the people to God. Christ a s our High Priest has a heart of love to sympathize with us (Ex. 28:30), hands of pouer to lift us (Heb. 2:18), shoulders of strength to carry us (Ex. 28:12), lips of prayer to plead for us (Rom. 8:34), eyes of grace to search us (Rev. 1:14). thoughts of kindness to cheer us (Ps . 139:17). and words of truth t o direct u s (Ps. 119:130).

Ours is a sunny religion, born of divine love, and one of the fruits of the Holy Spirit is joy. A joyless Christian is a lihel on his profession. W e ought to walk so close to Jesus a s to be always in His sunshine and make s o little of worldly ills and vexations and losses a s never to let them envelope us in an at- mosphcre of Arctic midnight. Paul made a dnnveon ring with holy melodies. Ev- ery follower of Christ should strive to make his daily life a song as well a s a gospel sermon.-Selected.

super-mare, a seaside resort in the W e s t of England. I learned from a telegram that a man had lost his reason and had become a raving maniac, and they wanted me t o g o to pray for him. I arrived i t the place, and the wife said to me, "Will you sleep with my husband?" I agreed, and in the middle of the night an evil power laid hold of him. I t was awfuL I put my hand on his head and his hair was like a lot of sticks. God gave deliverance-a temporary deliverance. A t 6 o'clock the next morning, I felt that i t was necessary that I should get out of that house for a short tjme.

The man saw me going and cried out, "If you leave me, there is n o hope!' But I felt that I had to go. A s I went out I saw a woman with a Salvation Army bon- net on and I knew that she was going to thcir 7 o'clock prayer meeting. I said t o the Captain who was in charge of the mceting, when I saw he was about t o give out a hymn, "Captain, don't sing. k t ' s get to prayer!' H e agreed, and I praycd my heart out, and then I grabbed my hat and rushed out of the hall. ,.They all thought they had a madman in their prayer meeting that morning. .

I went down to the end of the parade, and there was the man I had spent: the night with, rushing down toward the sea, without a particle of clothing on, about t o drown himself. I cried, "In the name of Jesus, come out of him!' T h e man fell full length on the ground and that evil power went out of him never t o r e turn. H i s wife came rushing after him, and the husband was restored to her in a perfect mental condition.

There are evil powers, but Jesus is greater than all evil powers. There are tremendous diseases, but Jesus is healer. Therc is no case too hard for Him.

I What Christ Teaches About Future Ketribution Compiled by Bro. Max Wood Moorbead from an Article by W. C. Proctor.

Which Originally Appeared in Vol. I X of T h e Fundamentals. I I n taking the words of Christ Himself

we shall find the greatest grouzds o i rommon agreement in these days of loose views of inspiration. Surely H e who is "The Truth" could never misrepresent or exaggerate it on a matter of such vital importance, and would neither encour- age popular errors nor excite needless fears.

I n confining our consideration of the subject of Future Retribution to the teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ a sufficient answer is given to those who represent the doctrine a s unreasonable and disbon- oring t o Cod, and who regard those who hold it as narrow minded and hard- hearted. t o remind them that all the very expressions which are most fiercely de- nounced a t the present day fell from the )ips of the Saviour who died for us, and came from the heart of the "Lover of sools."

Surely we have no right t o be broader , minded than H e was. o r t o nurture false

hopes which have no solid foundation in His teaching. while t o assume a greater zeal for God's honor, and a deeper com- passion for the souls of men, is little short of ,blasphemy.

1. What did our Lord teach a s t o the .certainty of future retribution? T h e word "retribution" is to be preferred to "pun- khment," because the Bible teaches us that the fate of the wicked is . . . the neressary consequence of their own sins. I n Matt. 5:22. Christ speaks of causeless anger againnt, and contemptuous condemnation of, others a s p l a c i r ~ ~ us "in danger of the hell of fire;" while in vers1:s 29 and 30 H e utters a similar warnil.& concerning other sins. I n chapter 8:12, H e speaks of unbelieving "rhildren of the k i n d o m " being "cast forth into the outer carkness" and adds, "There shall be weep- ina a d gnashing of teeth"--expressions which are repeated in chapters 22:13 and 25:30. In chapter 10:28 Jesus said: "Fear Him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell"-a wholesome fear which is decidedly lacking in the present day. and which many people regard as a remnant of superstition unsuited to t h s enlichtened age! In chapter 23:15. H r mpeaks of the hvpocritical Pharisees a; "children of hell." showing that their conduct had fitted them for it, and that they "would po to their own place." likc Jarlas (whom H e describes a s the "son of perdition!' in Jnhn 17:12\: while in verse 33 H e asks, "How shall ye escape thc jadmnent of h e l l ? ' T h e law of retri- bntion can no more he repealed than that of gravitation; it is fixed and unalterabl-. Tha t hell has not been preoared for human beings, but that thev prepare them- sr l res for it. ic clear frnm the sentence which our Lord says that H e will pro- aonnre upon those on Hin left hand in tbe last Ereat day: "Depart from Me. ye mrsed. into the eternal fire which is pre- paced for the devil and his angels" (Ma't. 25 :41).

2. Wha t did Christ teach a s t o the character of future retribution? W e have already seen thaf H e spoke of it a s full of sorrow and misery in His sevenfold repetition of the striking expression: "There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matt. 8:12: 13: 42, 50; 22:13; 24: 51; 25: 30; Luke 1328). I n Mark 9:43- 48, our Lord twice speaks of "the fire that never shall be quenched;" and thrice adds, "where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched." Our Lord twice spoke of fruitless professors being "cast into the fire" (Matt. 7:19; John 15:6); twice of "the furnace of fire" (Matt. 13.42, 50); twice of "the hell of fire" (Matt. 5:22; 18:9); and twice of "eternal fire" (Matt. 18:8; 25:41).

3. Wha t did Christ teach as to the con- tinuity of future retribution? I s there any solid basis in His recorded words for the doctrine of eternal hope, or the shadow of a foundation for the idea that all men will be eventually saved? Much has been made of the fact that the Creek word "aionios" (used by our Lord in Matt. 18:s and 15:41.46. and translated "ever- lastindB in the authorized, and "eternal" in the Rwised Version) literally means "age-lon~;" but a n examination of the 25 places in which it is used in the New Testament'reveals the fact that it is twice used of the Gospel, once of the Gospel covenant, once of the consolation brought to us by the Gospel, twice of God's own being, four times of the future of the wicked, and fifteen times of the present and future life of the believer. N o one thinks of limiting its duration in the fir;t four cases and in the last, why then d~ s o In the other one? T h e dilemma becomes acute in considering the words of our Lord rerorded in Matt. 25:46. where precisely the same word in the Greek i3 used concerning. the duration of the punishment of the wicked and of the reward of the riehteons: ior only by violent per- version and distortion can the same word in the same sentence possess a different sipnifiration.

If Divine chastisements a re ineffectual here in the case of any individual. when there is so much to restrain men and women from wrong doinq, how can thev be expected to prove effectual in the next world. with all these restraints removed. and only the socirtv of devils? I t is rertainly somewhat illogical for those wh- make s o much oi the love of God to a r m e that ounichnirnt will prove remedial hrre- after in the case of those whom Divine Love has failed to influence here. Not onlv is there not the sliahtest hint in the teachinc of our Lord that future punishment will prove remedial or corrective. hut His words concernina Judas in Matt. 26.54 are inexolirnl~lc on that cr~nnocitior: Surclv hi* existence would still have beer: a 1)lrssinc if his punishment was to hc followed 1)v utimate restoration. and Cl1ri5t would therefore never have mtered the sadly solemn words: "It nad been

good for tbat man if be had, not b m - ' torn."

AS character tends to permanence, heaven is a place of perfect holiness a d hell must be of the opposite; and this throws light upon the words of Rev. 22: i I, which, appareatly, were uttered by our ascended, glorified and returning Lord: "He that is unrighteous, let him d o un- righteousness still; and he that filthy, let him be made filthy still; and he that is righteous, let hlm do righteousnegr still!' T h e doctrine of universal re-tor- ation springs from a natural desire to wish the history of mankind t o have r t appy endiug a s in most story books: bat i: ignores the fact that by granting m u free will, Cod has (as it were) set a 1:oundary to His own omnipotence; for 1 is a moral impossibility to save a man against His wilL

Not only is there no vestige of foundation in our Lord's words for the doctrine ef universalism, but there'is no shadow d a sungcstion of any restoration of the wicked hereafter. So far from thi, bein3 the case, the story of the rich man and Lazarus rings the deatn knell of any such hope Ahraham is there represented ;u raying t o Dives: "Between us and y a there is a meat gulf b e d , that they whicb would pass from hence t o vou may not +JC

able. and that none may cross over from thence t o us" (Luke 16:26. R. V.).

4. Wha t did Christ teach a s t o the causes of future retribution? A carefd study of our Lord's words show t h l there are two primary causes, namely, deliberate unbelief and wilful rejection d Him; and surely these are but different aspects of the same sin. In Matt. 8:lZ it was the contrast between the faith d the Gentile centurion and the unhelief d the Jewish nation which drew from His lips the solemn words: "The children d the kingdom shall be cast into outer darkness!'

T h e whole drift of Christ's teaching confirms what we learn from these isa- Lted passages, and that future retrilmtirm is not merely an incidental but a fus- damental part of the Gospel message. 'I is the dark backmound on which its lor- ing invitations and tender expost~~lntions arc presented, and the Gospel messaw loses much force when the doctrine k Icft orlt. Bu!, worst of all, the earnest ex- t ortations to immediate repentanre and faith lose their urgency if the ultimate result will be the same if those d l ~ t i t i are postooned beyond the present lifa I s it seriously contended that Judas w i l even t~~a l ly be a s John, Nero as P a 4 A n a n i ~ s and Sapphira a s Priscilla and A q d l a ?

Finally, the doctrines pf heaven a d hell seem to stand or fall torether, iar hoth rest upon the same Divine revel= tion. . . . and both have the same word "everlasting" applied to their d~rrat ioa I f the threatenings of God's Word arc unreliable, so may the promices he: if the denunciations 'nave no real mean in^. w h d tecomes of the invitations?

Here it is, not all that might be given, but some remarkables. One of the eight months of Institute days has passed into history. One of the students-a membcr of the "wide-awakesw-testified a t prayers the other morning that he had al-

' ready received a million dollars worth of benefit, and if he kept on a t the same rate until the end of the s c h w l year he would be the richest man in the country.

W e t h n k all the readers of the Evangel for your interest and helpfulness in encour- a& the young people to give themselves ,b the study of the scriptures. ' 1s there anything remarkable about the ,Cslltral Bible Institute? Yes1 When we cc+sider the fact that about three weeks Before the Institute was to open we had

'

happy a s larks, and without "collisions." T h e dining and class room. 30 x 40, is

neatly and tastily fitted up for these r e apective uses. The entire r w m is well lighted having ample windows through which the sunshine pours. T h e ceiling is covered with white n~uslin; the walls

, are covered with white alabastiue; rhe wood work is painted white with lighl grey trimmings; across one end of 'thc room. "plastered in" black board space is provided for class work. T h e Hoor is

-cement which needs to be covered with rugs to keep our feet warm. T h e dinirtg room section has space for six "home made" tables, each table of suficient s i ~ e to seat six people comfortably or eight persons in "emergency." The tables, cov- cred with white spreads, are equipped c i t h suitable and substantial table ware, a vase of flowers in the center of each table, and, a t meal time. with good, wholesome, palatable. well cooked food in ample measures for hungry students,-and they surely d o ha re "comprehensive" appe-, tites. All are agreed that we have a r e d , cozy, "neat-asla-pin," attractive and home like "home" for the Bible Institute. I t is thoroughly clean and sanitary. in every part, hut we are rapidly outgrowing these temporary quarters.

Another most remarkable thing the Lord did for us after we exhausted "our resources" and had come to the place talled "wits' end," was to send us a "Chef." o r cook, a s he is usually called. znd his wife, all the way from l o s An- geles. across the continent, via the "Santa F e Trail," in a "Ford," the party, con- sisting of five persons, with all t h e ~ r bags and baggage, making the trip in fourteen days. This is most remarkable, not because of the proverbial "Ford," but because the Lord knew we needed a "Chef," and he wanted to come to the Central Bible 'Institute. I t was of the Lord.

Then again, it is quite remarkable that we have such a n "apt" staff of teachers and helpers. God gave them to us. They fit into their respective places so beauti- fullv. humbly and harmoniously,-like real cross bcarers they "give themselves" to thcir work, not thinking of themselves but others. N o one'has ever passed this way before. therefore they are the pio- neers of the Central Bible Institute, blaz- in^ the way for others to follow, all with-

TONGUES ON TRIAL.

"They shall speak with new tongues" ark 16:17).

('And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues a s the Spirit gave them utterance" (Acts 2:4).

"For they heard them speak with tonwes" (Acts 10:47). 0

"And, they spake with tongues" (Acts 196) .

If speaking in tongues is not the one, instantaneous, indisputable evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Ghost, so received and accepted by the Apostles and other early Christians, and yet extant among the true followers of Jesus Chr i s t then we who make this claim are amonq that class spoken of by Paul a s "deceiving and being deceived," and certainly ought to realize this and repent of our folly. For by holding "Tongues" a s the evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Ghost, we are not only practising deception, but are unsettling the minds of those already resting joyously in the assurance of the experience and setting them to seeking again a blessing from God which they already possess.

O n the other hand if "Tongues" is the evidence of the "Baptism" then for us t o refrain from preaching it would be criminal in the extreme and bring us under condemnation before Him who calls us to "Preach the word."

Then also those who oppose this "Lat- ter Day Deception," so called, are those who "shut up the kingdom of heaven ag-ainst men, neither going in themselves neither suffering them that are entering to go in" (Matt. 23:13).

Now we know that a teaching to be true must agree with the "Word of God!' For. "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word it is because there is no light in them (Isa. 8:2(1). .

Therefore if "Tongues" are not scriptural, down with your arms of rebellion. 'lest ye he found to fight against God" (Acts 539) .

Now, dear reader, let us form ourselves into a court of investigation with you as the jury and proceed to examine one by one the witnesses both for and against this great latter day message and then I ask you to render an impartial verdict according to law and evidence.

T h e first witness we shall call is no less a personage than "The Lord from heaven." Dear Jesus. we want to know the truth. Ts this experience promised by You to Your followers?

Yes, "and these signs shall follow them that believe. They shall speak with new tongues" (Mark 16:17).

Next we will call a number of witnesses, one hundred and twenty on the Day of Eentecost. Rrethren and sisters, after you had tarried. a s the Master said, for the "Promise of the Father," what took place in that upper room?

"After the sound of the mighty rushing wind and the appearance of cloven

tongues like a s of fire, we were all filled with the Holy Ghost and began t o speak with (in) other tongues a s the Spirit gave us utterance" (Acts 2:l-4).

W h y was it that you were s o sure that this was the "Promise of the Father"?

Since Jesus had told us we should speak with new tongues (Mark 16:17), when we commenced t o speak unknown languages through a supernatural power that filled and controlled us, we did not doubt hut that we had now received the Baptism in. the Holy Ghost a s promised, and immediately broke forth in rejoicing as we were thrilled with a new and wonderful joy unspeakable and full of glory. Hallelujah l

Next we will call the six Jewish brethren who accompanied Peter a s witnesses when he went down to "the house of Cornelius." Brethren, why were you so thoroughly convinced that those Roman Gentiles had received the Holy Ghost?

"Why, 'Because we heard them speak with tongues and magnify God"' (Acts 10:37).

nu t why were you so sure when you heard them speak with tongues?

"Since' Jesus had said 'this would be a sign (Mark 16:17). and since this was what took d a c e on "the Day of Pente- cost" (Acts 2:4), and a s this had been the common experience of all the Jews who had received the Holy Ghost. when we heard those 'Gentiles' speaking in tongues it disarmed all our prejudice and scattered all our doubts and we had to acknowledge that on the 'Gentiles also' was poured out the Holy Ghost!'

Next we place on the stand the entire Council of Jewish brethren a t Jeru- salem. before whom Peter was called to answer to charges of conduct unworthy of an orthodox Jew in having associated with Gentiles on equal terms.

Rrethren of the Council. whv did you acqnit Peter when he acknowledqed to all *he c h a ~ a e s vou hrought against him and his companions?

"N'hv, Brethren. when Peter and the six witnesses all said that the Holy Ghost was fiiven t o those Gentiles just a s H e was to 11s on the Day of Pentecost we were ass l~red that they. too, had spoken in toncues and therefore we were forced to hold our peace and glorifv God. being convinced that God had also aranted t o the Gentiles repentance unto life" (Acts 11.141.

Our last witness will be Paul the Ereat ".4oostle to the Gentiles." and there we will rest our case and look a t some of the armnients. s o called. on the other side.

Well. Brother Paul. what did you find down there a t Ephesus?

"I found twelve converts of Aoollos who had never received the Holy Ghost!'

W h a t did you d o Paul? "I baptized them as Jesus commanded

them and laid hands on them as was our cnstom, and the Holy Ghost came on them."

How did you know, brother, that those

brethren had received the Holy Ghost? '>. "Sincc Jesus had promised that beliew' -.

ers would speak with new tongues ( M 2 r k 16:17), and since.on the Day of P e n f b ' cost (Acts 3:4) and at the house of Cor- nelius a t Caesarei (Acts 10:47) thoce receiving the Holy Ghost a t once spoke in tongues; also since this had been my own experience (Acts 9:17), for 'I thank God I speak with- tongues more than . ye all' (1 Cor. 14:18) when I h e a d those Greek brethren speak in tonEues and prophesy I had not a doubt but that they had received the Holy Ghost, and could only join them in praise t o H i m who baptizes with the Holy Ghost!'

W e will now proceed to examine the witnesses for the prosecution.

I n these ranks stand practically a l l the forces of Christendom, both Clergy and Laity, except the small but ever-increas- ing number of saints who have gotten F- der this wonderful "Latter Rain Pent* cost." who today are praising J e s u s for having shed forth this which we now see and hear just a s H e did on the "Day of Pentecost" in the "Upper room." .

From these opposers of this great thth comes up a perfect babel of vojces, %tome . saving one thing, some another. a s ..the silversmiths at Ephesus did and with. ju* about as much sense a s they. ! i ,

From this confusion we shall t j ' t o select a few of t h e assertions, not 'arguments, which have the greatest apfiear- anre of reason and proceed to e x a h i n e them one hy one in order to see if they - will "hold water." For a s in the time o£ . Jeremiah even so it is today. Once more, "My people have committed two evils; *

they have forsaken Me. the fountain,of living waters (Holy Ghost), and hewed them out cisterns (doctrines). broken cisterns (man made theories) that can hold no water (Holy Ghost)" (Jer. 2:13),

As to Mark 16:17 it is stated tha t a s when a man is converted he is a new creature, therefore when he speaks i t will be with a new tonme. Also whereas the "old man" spoke blasphemy and obscea- ity. the "new man" speaks in praise a d with decency.

A s to Acts 2:4 they say, "As there were so many representative men a t Jem- salem on Pentecost from all over .the' world, this was but a special miracle g ivm for the express purpose of rapidly spread- ing the gospel to all lands. and not t o be expected by believers in general.

A s regards Acts 10:47 and 19:6 they evidently have never read them, but are strong on Acts 8.17 where it is not stated in so many words that the Samaritans who received the Holy Ghost spoke lo other tongues. Also 1 Cor. 13:8, where Paul says tongues shall cease, and again 1 Cor. 14:28. claiming Paul is there condemning speaking in tongues in the Church: but totally i ~ n o r i n y 1 Cor. 12: 10 and 28: also 14:2.4,5.13. 14,15, 18.22, 27.39. possibly being unaware of their existence. "0 consistency, thbu art a jewel!' W e shall now proceed to weigh these

assertions, not arguments, one by one, to find ollt their truth of falsity, for they stand or fall a s related to other scriptures.

THE~ENTECOSTAL EVANGEL

them havink spoken in tongues or receiving the Holy Ghost though it is not said that they did not, we have but t o notice a few facts to prove that this is but one of those "Broken cisterns which can hold

unlearmd by them in the natural way and undirected by their natural mind, but spoken directly through the influence of

;; the mighty Spirit of God. who a t that time filled and controlled both body and will so that H e was able t o speak with their tongues unknown languages, un- intelligible to them, but understood by others who heard. Acts 2:4 says "as the Spirit (not their wills )gave them utterance," and in 1 Cor. 14:14, Paul says; "My spirit prayeth but my understand- ing is unfrujtful!' Also 1 Cor. 14~13 , "Let him that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that he may interpret," thus showing that he is unaware of the meaning of the words unless supernaturally' informed.

I n regard to the word "Tongues" in Acts 2:4, let us notice that in other pa r t s , of the narra*ive the same event is stated as. language, thus proving that the word tongues and the word language are inter- changeable, therefore meaning one and the same thing.

" ' I n Acts 2:4 i t is stated, "They spoke with other tongues!'. Also (2:8) i t is said those straigers heard in the& own tongue. Also Acts 2:11 states, ' W e d o hear them speak in ou r tongues," while Acts 2:6 says, "Every man heard them speak in his own language," thus p r w - ing that when th6y spoke with new tongues they did no t merely say different words in the Galilean language. but used totally new languages under the direct power of the Holy Ghost. Glory1 .

As to the statement that the event recorded in Acts 2:4 was but a special event given for a particular purpose and not t o be expected by all, we have but t o notice that the same event took place a t different times, in widely separated places, under different teachers. and among va- rioas nationalities, to prove that this was not just a special manifestation on the Day of Petnecost, but was the sign and seal of the Holy Ghost s o recognized by the early church and handed down even to us, for Peter (Acts 2:39) says, "The promise is t o you (Jews) and t o your children (descendants) and t o all that are afar off (Gentiles), even as many a s the Lord our God shall call (every one who

'accepts in any generation)." 0 glory to God, how my heart thrills

with joy as I once more look closely into the foundations of this glorious doctrine of the "Latter Rain!' Hallelujah t o Him who has not left H i s p e o ~ l e without a witness! '

Acts 10:47 shows how those Roman Gentiles a t Caesarea in Judea received the Holy Ghost under the teaching of Peter, and Acts 19:6 how the Greek believers a t Ephesus did under Paul's hands; while 1 Cor. 12 and 14 show that this experience had penetrated even to the distant city of Corinth and was the common experience among believers there.

S o much for the assertion of a special manifestation on Pentecost.

As to the inference drawn from the fact that in Acts 8:17 no record is made of

n o water." Pet- and John under whose hands

those Samaritans received the Holy Ghost had themselves bcen among the number who spoke in tongues in that "Upper room" experience on Pentecost, and as this seems to have been generally accepted a s the sign of the Baptism of the Holy Ghost, from statements like Acts 2:4; 10: 41; 19.6; and 1 Cor. 14, it is reasonable t o infer that nothing short of those Sa- maritans speaking in tongues would have satisfied them that they had received the Baptism any more than it does a preacher of Pentecost in this day and time. Then also "Simon the-Sorcerer" who had been with Philip d u r i ~ g his revival and had beheld the mighty miracles of healing and witnessed the great joy of the converts on seeing the wonderful effect resulting from the laying on of hands offered to buy this gift that the same power might be given him. Now what did Simon see? From other events of similar character we are led to believe that it was the wonderful sign of speaking in tongues 'as the Spirit gave utterance. Hallelujah!

-4s t o 1 Cor. 1 3 3 we have but to notice that in verse 10 Paul shows he is speaking of the bringing in of that which is perfect. Thus we see that when the other two gifts between which "Tongues" are "sandwiched" have passed away as being n o longer needed, then and not till then will tongues cease, for when that which is perfect is come then that which is in part shall be done away (! Cor. 13:lO). So when prophecies fail slnce there is nothing more t o be foretold, and knowledge (teaching) vanishes away, since there is nothing more to learn, then also tongues shall cease, as all shall again be of one language as they were before the confounding of tongues a t the tower of Babel, and tongues shall n o more be needed as a sign to unbelieveis. But until then they shall continue, praise God, a s the sign and seal of our inheritance in- corruptible and undefiled and that fad- eth not away. Hallelujah!

As t o 1 Cor. 14.19,26,28, Paul is only trying to correct some misuse of this gift and by no means condemning the experience, a s may be seen from verse 5, where he says he would that all spoke with tongues; verse 18, where he thahks God he speaks with tongues more than any of them; and verse 39, which is the last utterance on this subject found in the Word, where he says, "Forbid not to speak with tongues."

I n 1 Cor. 14:19, notice Paul is speaking of teaching in the Church, when he says that then he desires the use of his olvn language that. he may give out in- struction to those who are before him as listeners. I ~e r fec t ly argee with the great Apostle as do all other teachers of this great doctrine and join with him when he says, "I would that ye all spake with tongues" (verse 5).

How many of you brethren of the ministry of other denominations will joln him in this wish? Also how many of you

can with .hiin say,. "I thank my God I speak with tongues more than you all?" Likewise, who of you will heed his ad- monition, "Forfid not to speak with tongues"?

Now, dear reader, I have attempted to deal with this matter impartially. from a scriptural standpoint. As you see, there is no scriptural ground for objection to this e~per ience, but much in favor of it. So taking the foregoing into consideration a long with the later events of speaking in tongues, prophecy, and visions a s seen and heard on every hand, I shall expect you t o briny in a unanimous verdict of "Not guilty," and turn the prisoner a t the bar free to, unmolested, c a n y on the grand and glorious work of preparing the "Bride" for the coming of the heavenly Rridegroom, which event is now immi- nent, as evidenced by this pouring out of the "Latter Rain," a s promised in these "last days." Hear on every hand the pattering of the rain drops in the "speaking in other tongues" a s the down- p o w becomes more pronounced, and the local shower becomes a general rain of wonderful blessing from "Pole t o Pole," and "From the rivers t o the ends of the earth." Glory t o God i" the highest1 Let down your umbrellas, come from be- neath your shelter, and let "showers of blessing" come down upon you till you too "Speak with other tongues" and are filled with "Joy unspeakable and full of glory."--Amos E. Wilson, E l Dorado, Ark.

The Result of Tithing.

Tithing is an avenue through which God has promised to bless all who practise it according to Bible lines.

The following facts should induce all Christians to practise tithing.

1. Pay tithes, because God's WoFd commands you t o do so.

W e notice, in the following passages, that grcat blessing await all those that obey the Lord in this respect. I n Deut. i4:22, we read, "Thou shalt truly tithe all the increase of thy seed that the field bringeth forth year by year." Prov. 3:9, 10, "Honor the Lord with thy substance and with the first fruits of all thine increase; s o shall thy barns be filled with plenty and thy presses shall burst out with new wine."

Ma\. 3:10: "Bring y e all t he tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in Mine house, and prove Me now here- with, saith the Lord of Hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough t o receive it."

In 2 Car. 95-8 , we read: "He which soweth sparingly. shall reap also sparinp- ly, and h e which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully . . . not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheer- f d giver." W h a t better inducement do we want than this? T h e Lord surely sets . Hi; seal of approval upon all those that give liberally to His cause. In God's plan giving is a grace. If God's people will enter into that grace a twofold blessing will follow, the character will be strengthened and God's cause will also reap the benefits. God asks nothing of man except it be for His glory and man's edification. The Lord is certainly glorified through our paving tithes.

2. Notire, that t i thing was given under grace and not under law.

I t belongs to the Abrahamic covenant and was instituted hundreds of vears before t he law was ~ i v e n on Mt. Sinai. -4hraham paid tithes to ?vlelchizedek and Jacob also naid tithes. God, in giving the law t o Moses. "did not mention it as something new. but refers t o it as alreadv rxistinr. fo r H e said. "The tithe is the Lord's," nnt shall be. but is.

J rsus Himself commended tithing. W e read in Matt. 23:23, "Yc paxr tithe of mint and anise and cummin and have omitted the weightier matters of the law. judgment, merrv: these oucht ye to have done and not t o leave the other undone." If it was a pood thing under law it is still hctter under grace. T o love God ni th all the heart, mind and strenmh was qivrn rlnder the law: but Christ reaffirms it in Matt. 22:37.

Many truths in the Old Testament are =ndorscd in the NewTestament and Tith- in4 i s one of them. W e find mace in the Old Trs tament and we find it alsn in the Nel~. Tcstament. Praise the I.ord fnr it

3. T h e testimony of history i s in favor of Tithing.

The sarred h i~ to r i an Crotius savs. "From the most ancient ages a tenth has

bcen regarded a s the portion due to God, and that the evidences of this fact can be found in the religious beliefs of the ancient nations." "The Arabians by law required every merchant t o give one- tenth of his frankincense to the priests for their gods." "The Phoenicians, following the example of Abraham, gave a tenth of the spoils of war to holy uses." The Carthagenians, the Ethiopians and Egyptians paid their tithes t o their respective gods. If the heathen strictly d h e r e d to paying tithes t o their gods, how much more should Christians who know the true God, be not only willing t u t anxious to comply. with Hi s command?

The church Fathers, Irenaeus and Cy- prian, taught their followers t o pay tithes unto the Lord. The Reformers. Aupus- tine, John Knox and Calvin, practiced paying tithes.

The Christians of today who pay tithes also add their testimony in favor of it and are g ~ e a t l y blessed in so doing.

In Minnesota there was a Presbyterian Church that called a pastor. They were to pay him a thousand dollars salary a year, but said to him. "We are not able t o raise over $700.00, and will ask the Home Mission Board to add $300." H e said, "Brethren, that is not right. If you will pay your tithes you will not need that $300.00 from the Missionary Board. I will make you a fair proposition: how many of you will join me in paying tithes for three months?" Twenty-one agreed to do so. A t the end of three months they brought in their tithes and it amounted to about $2,000. Tha t year they sup- ~:orted two missionaries. A revival began, the church waq crowded to its utmost capacity and a largc number of people were saved. W h e n the other members saw how the Lord was bless in^ tt?c twenty-one who were paying their tithes, thev all began to do the same. T h e Lord trulv opened the windows of heaven and poured out such blessings upon that church and great things were done through it.

A brother testified that he was in deht and no monev was coming in. H e mas distracted. but on r e d i n g Mal. 3:10 was ccnvicted and hecan to pay tithes. Be- fore long he was out nf deht and the Lord wonderfullv blessed him. and today he is civinp thousands toward the support of the gospel. Rememher that nine-tenths with God's hlessinp resting upon them will go frrrther than ten-tenths ni thout God's hlessing.

4. T o whom should t h e ti thes be paid? The tithes should not be given for sec-

~! lar work. such as repairs and church building.;. hut should he given toward the Pupport of men and women who pive 211 their time tn thr 120rd's canse. "The tithe is holv nnto the Lord." T h e Jews paid their tithes t o the priest. and whrn thev wanted to make any rrpairs on thc temple thev tnok up a special offering.

Some people often &$ve as an excuse

fcr not paying their tithes that they a re in dcbt. My answer is, the best way to get out of dcbt is to pay God what you . cwe Him.

Dear ~ h r i k a n Readers: the cause of Christ i s suffering because many of God's people fail H i m in this respect. Our niissionaries are not receiving proper f;~:ancial support, the heathen are denied the gospel because there are not suffi- cicnt funds to send them missionaries. Cod is demanding that all His people hhould freely give to His cause, let us all obcy Him as loyal sons and daughters.

If all Christians paid their tithes there would be plenty of funds to carry on the '

Lord's work. Let pastors preach and practisc it and let all God's .people bring their tithes and offerings to the Lord, and thus ha re a part in the great work of evangelizing. t l ~ e world.

As you do this, the Lord will do a s H e says H e would in Mal. 3:10. H o w can the Christian withhold from giving his tenth when God commands him to pive. promising to bless those that obey Him? H o w can he be deaf t o the pit- iful cry of the heathen, Come over and help us?

T o this end let us meet God's challenge found in Mal. 3:lO. There are six facts nlentioncd here. - .

First. W e a re commanded to bring the tithes into the storehouse; that ought t o be sufficient t o the child of God.

Second. W h v ? "That there may be meat in Mine house." I t is evident that God does not want the church treasury emptv. H e wants His people to keep it full t o carry on Hi s work. Dear saint, will you do your par t?

Third. The test of God's Word. "Prove M e now." Hundreds of thousands have taken God a t H i s word in this respect and have always found that H e did what H e promised. If you have not tried Him on the money question, begin now.

Fourth, The promise "To open the win- r ' . u ~ s . " This sungests the multiplicity of I,lrssings that God will cause to come vpnn those :h2t obey Him.

Fifth. T h e result. "Pour you out such a hlessing.." God here does the pouring, and He nerer stops until the vessel is full r.\.rll to running over.

Sixth. Capacitv too small. "Not room to reccwe it." This means that the bless- jncs c i l l be s o great and numerous that the soul will not he able t o retain them, hut \\.ill h a r e t o share with others.

Titliing is a practical acknowledgement of the claims of God upon us and God txper ts 11s to meet these claims. If we do. God's blessing is ours. Remember, "There iq that scattereth and yet increas- eth: there is that withholdeth more than is meet and it tendeth to poverty" !Prov. 11 :24).-S. A. Jamieson, 1 8 4 Berenice St.. Chicago.

( Unity Essential I Jesus said, "This is hiy commandment,

that ye 1ov.e one another as I have loveJ you." "If ye love Me, keep My com- mandnlcnts," and, "If 5-e keep My com- mandments"-note what will be the result-"ye shall abidc in hfy love." Again H e said, "\Vhosoever heateth these sayings of Mine and docth them, I will liken him unto a wise man which built his house upon a rock." This is the kind of a man

. that will be able to stand the storms that are now sweeping over the earth, and the kind of man that will abide in H i s love.

How many have spent years contending over certain points of doctrine, accom- plishing little, having failed to hearken to the sayings or commands of Jesus! A s a result they have lost their first love fcr God, and their love one for the other.

In the preaching of the gospel of Christ, there are certain sound principles that are always necessary and safe t o build upon, the new birth, o r new creation i n Christ, with water baptism accompanying, a holy a d Spirit-Med life' and constant walk with God, the gift of the Ho ly Ghost. the fruits and gifts of the Spirit, Jesus the great Physician, and the nearness of H i s coming.

S o many have tried to build upon certain doctrines o r theories, often a t the expense of other scriptures. Apparently they may kave prospered for a while, though often largely by merely drawing "ready-made" saints after them, instead of winning sinners t o be converted to the Lord. Sooner o r later they find their message weak to accomplisll what they had hoped for; and find too, that they are unable t o take their follo\vers o r get themselves any farther than on a- side line. Possibly in their zeal, they had thought they discovered something new, but their message falls short, even thou& it may be included in the main principles of the gospel.

Often the right spirit has not been back of such a move. A spirit of pride o r cofitention, o r a desirc for leadership, ma\+ easily be mistaken for zeal, and lead men to contend over words that -do not profit.

Charity, t l ~ e grcatest of the graces, is so essential. I t is not puffed up, seek- cth not her own, it never faileth. Here is true wisdom that is from abovc. I t is peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated (a good spiritual thermometer), full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality alld without hypocrisy (See James 3:17).

How essential it is t o keep clean and pure, t o walk softly before God, and to keep on the main line, preaching the gos- pc: of Christ, which gospel Paul. said h~ \vas not ashamed of, for i t is the power of G o d unto salvation.

This message docs something for the believer, and tllc signs will follow. The world will see we hare the proof of being 3 true disciple of Jesus, if we Ilave lovc one to another (John 13:35).

"Behold how good and pleasant i t is fo r 1,retliren to dwell together in unity, . . . for there the Lord cornmanclerl the blcsr;ing, even life for ~ v C r n l o r ~ " (1'5. 133:1-3).-A H. Argue.

Refrain. Hc wlll come. R l s Word Bssures us, H e wlll m e . And will gather a l l the chosen TO their %ome; 'Tis of Hlm-the Son of God, Who once walked th ls earthly sod: That the Holy Splri t whlspers: "IIe wlll coma"

W e areC longing now to see That dear M u of Calvary, And we love thls precious promlse: "He will come." Christ who walked upon the sea- Walked the waves of Galllce-- We shall see, for God sti l l whlspers: "He will come."

Signs we see on every hand- On tbe sea and on the land, They procdm t h e blessed message: "He wlll come." And the s ta r ry vault above. Speaks these words of hope and love: "Watch and walt and be ye ready. "He wlll come."

Then In patlence we wlll wait While we're in the way so strait . F o r we he& tha t gentle whlsper: "He wlll come." And the early springtime breeze. And the buddlng of the trees All unlte to s ing thls anthem: "He will come."

A T C m , (The following report of a heallng meet-

The heallng servlce proved a memorable occasion. After several persons had been prayed for. Pastor Kortkamp went down from the platform to a cot In the alsle. on whlch was Mra. James T. Moreland of 414 Eleventh street. Mrs Moreland was sald to be sufferlng from cancer of the bowels. Wlth Mlss Elsle Baker of Alton. a member of the evangellstlc party. and Pastor John F. Bryan of the local church a t h ls slde, the evangellst anolnted Mrs. Moreland and prayed. When the prayer was flnlshed, taklng hold of &a. More- land's hand, be Bald, ''In the name of Jesus Chrlst I command thee to rlse and walk.'' Slowly Mrs. Moreland arose from the cot, mslsted by Tdlss Baker. When she had galned her fee t her face was besmlng, ae she exclalmed. "I am baled!" 'Glory." "Glory: "Glory" went up f rom the cholr, from one slde of the audlence and then from the other. I n a few seconds what was almost a tumult of "Glories." and "Pralse the Lord*" was comlng f rom tbe throats of many i n the audlence. .

Pastor Kortkamp suggested to Mrs. Moreland tha t a h e could go home jf she felt tlred. "I am enjoylng th ls s o much I am golng to s tay through," w e t b e re- DIV. r -

Immediately a i t e r havlng prayed for Mrs. Moreland, the evangellst. went over to a slde pew Where Mrs. Jane Way P e w , o f . 226 Slxteentb street, was lylng supported by plllows. He r husband was s l t nng by her slde. She had been brought Into the church In a rocklng chair, propped up wlth plllows, but aoon af ter the servlce started. was placed In the pew. She too, w a s Bald to be sufferlng from a cancer. She likewise. was prayed for. No sooner had the prayer ended than Mra. Perry started to shout and pralse the Lord. Turnlng t o her husband and thelr small chlld. whlch he was holdlng In h l s lap. she embraced them both. A aecoed round of "Glorl~s" and "Praise the Lords" roue up from the au - dlence. Agaln several women friends of Mrs. Perry's rushed forward and embraced her. As soon as the scene ended. Pas tor Kortkamp s a d , "Slster, tell the audlence how the Lord has healed you." 'T fee l s o good I Can't tell It," responded Mrs. Perry. and lmmed la t e l~ her hands were ralsed and a fervent, "Thank you. Jesus," went up from her Ups.

Among the others f o r whom prayers were offered was Mrs. Bettle W h r a n of 3113 Sycamore street. who was prayed for for kidney trouble. She testlfled '7 felt the Lord's heallng w w e r tonlght and belleve the Lord baa healed me."

At the conclusion of the servlces Pas tor Kortkamp prayed for several persons who were not able to be there but who had sent In requests. As he prayed he asked the large audlence to joln hlm, and severai hundred prayers went up f n unlson. Among those for whom speclal request for prayers were made, was J. E. Pfllnger of Vlenna.

More than 2.600 came forward for aal- %Itlon and more than 1.600 were prayed for for heallng a t the great meetlng recently conducted in Mllwaukee by Raymond T. Rbhey. The joy of the people was con- tinual from the Ven' beglnnlns to the close of the warefare for souls.

Gervlces were held In the Yun lc l~a l Au- dltorlum. In Juneau Hall, later In Planklng- -ton Hall The hall was crowded. many belng unable to flnd seats and the last aervlce closed wlth the hall-ways packed wlth those earnestly seeklng a vlew ot the wonderful scenes a t the altar calls and the heallng servlces. The meetlngs lasted 1 weeks, wlth two servloes dally the last 1 weeks.

Evangelist Rlchey remalned In Mllwau- kee over nlsht to respond to the urgent requests of dlfferent partles to vlslt churches where contlnuatlon meetlngs were to com-

'mence. These places were In wldely separated parts of the clty and In two and a half hours, he was drlven t aen ty two miles i n an automoblle and preached three sermons. In each of these places the bulld- lngs were crowded, although the raln wan pourlng. Heallng servlces were held In tmo bf the p l a r~s . Many conversions took Dlace, one belng a Jewlsh woman.

On each Saturday afternoon speclal heal- Inc servlces were held for the children.
