THE THESS 11,01` 1- 11N BRET IIREN. - tot— 171• , C: uLaiati the Apostle Paul wee writing to the brethren at Thessalonica he spoke highly of the justified life they were living and exhorted them on to a sanctified experience. The life that these justified . _ brethren were living is far above the life and . experience of many who profess to be sanc-tified in these days. And sneh persons would do well to give the life of these Thessalonian brethren a careful study. Those who claim to be justified - and ate living far beneath their privileges would undoubtedly be able to: see that; they are not living up to a full standard- of a sancti- , fied life. If you: aretlieréfo re not living and walking up: to all the light you have--- ina: a; s. ustified experience, how can you expect to enter a sanctified. experience ? for the Lord will not give us more light until we walk up to that we already , have. These be-loved brethren were not yet sanctified ? still the Apostle was, so rejoiced over them that he was led to give thanks to God. for them all because of their steadfastness of faith and joy in the Holy Ghost. The . A7 Peelle made mention of- them in his pray-ers, an example that every follower of the Lord should be careful to observe, and pray for one another and especially those that are weak in the faith. He remembered al-so without ceasing, their work of faith, and • labor of love, and patience of hope in the Lord Jesus Christ.- 1 Thess. 1; 1, 2. These brethren did not sit down with folded hands upon the stool of do- nothing, but they manifested the fruits of the Spirit in their lives, first by work of faith, by la-bor of love, and the patient hope in our Lord Jesus Christ. They were pot faithless. Many who - claim to b3 regenerated, and e-. yen some who think- they are sanctified, are so destitute of faith. that they live in one constant strain of doubts and fears. If they ever had faith given to them they have so abused the use of it that it is entirely taken away from them, and they aiasleft to pur-sue their dead empty profession without either life or true hope in the Lord unless they repent. But not se with these breth ren, for they were alive and proving it'by . t. heir works of faith, cand labors of love 7 1 - 7 ''. T- CheY were not afraid to do a little work fo - the Lord, manifesting patience which is one of the fruits especially commanded of the christian. Patient in tribulation. In all the littlepetty trials and vexations ofevery day life and duty there is need of patience; and if there is a lacking of thin one thing needful it is sure proof that there is some-thing wrong somewhere. Not only did they show forth the fruits of the Spirit, but the Apostle calls them brethren, beloved, and spoke of their election of God. ver. 4. And that the gospel cane unto them in - power, and in the He ly Ghoste and in much assurance. ver. 5.

All went - well' with me for a short time. I did not read the Word of God for myself, but listened to my- preacher and whatever he said, was gospel with me.

The way was then opened for regularmeetings at a little town called Arthur.

I was converted, and was honest in my heart, but when I saw the light, it convin-ed me that it Was the Word of God. Last fall when Bro. Schell and others held a grove- meeting in this place, my- wi'e was saved, but I rejected the Word and went into outer darkne- s. Dear readers let me warn you never to reject the Word of God. I got so tow that I ordered God's children out of God's house and the devil worked me up to a terrible rage, and I threatened my wife with many threats, but praise God, she took me to the Lord in prayer, and after fasting for three days God showed me that I was a terrible wick-ed sinner, and if I did not repent, hell was my doom. I went with my wife to the holiness prayer meeting, and I asked them to forgive me for the way I had used them, and to pray that God woo forgive me. I tried to give myself up, in could get no relief. For two months struggled and prayed. I thought I di give up all. I thought I could get salvia Lion and hang to my idols. But praise th Lord they all had to go. When God' ministers carne and preached the Word saw the line between saints and sinners, was willing to let all go, and on the 8th o Jan. I was justified and my peace was made with God and on the 9th I came to the altar for the cleansing He has taken me from all my idols, and washed me in His blood, and I am whiter than snow, and am free from sect babylon and from all division. I was a slave to tobac-co for thirty years. Praise God, the appe tite is, gone never to return. He is my leader, and none other will I know.

DEAR BRETHREN :— I feel it a duty I owe to God to write my testimony to the Trum-pet. I can say to the glory of God that I am saved and sitting at the feet of Jesus enjoying a full salvation from all sin; sanctified wholly made white and tried. Glory be to God forever, for this blessed evening light that enables us to discern the pure Church of Christ that shall, will, and is to pp without spot or wrinkle. The Lord showed me this winter, when I was laying on the bed of affliction that He was this pure Church, and every soul that did not believe the truth, and have every stain that sin bath made washed away, in His ailcleansing blood, the spots and Wrink-les too, that, not one can enter Heaven that does not measure up to" the Bible standard of freedom from all sin, and live holy sane-- tilled lives, here in this present life. Igno-rance of this solemn truth will not excuse anyone, for there is none so blind, as those that will not see, and turn their ears away that they may not hear. Lord, pity the poor sin caged- mortals and open their eyes to see the true Church is my prayer. I do praise the Lord I am saved and walking in the light as He is in the light. - Your sister in: Christ. Charlotte W Carthichael. LARUE, OHIO. DEAR SAINTS.:- 7- I feel led to write a few lines to the readers of the Trianpet I . praise God for salvation thvotioh the blood of Christ, : and for the glorious light of the tlospel. I praise God for the Gospel Trump-et which - We do know teaches sound. . doc-trine. It is- the teachings of the Lord Jesus Christ and His disciples. It is said by the prophet Isa. 62: 10 and Jer. 5: 2. To lift up and set up a standard. In Isa: 35: S. And an highway shall be there and a way, and it shall be called the way of holiness. The . unclean Shall- not pass over it, but it shall be for those the way- faring men though fools shall not err therein. Now we find the way that God laid down for His people to walk in, is a highway abova the - ways of the world. It is to be without sin. It is so plain that any lion-ast understanding person need not err therein. Christ says : I am the way, the truth and the life. So Christ commands us to follow Him and ( Maid commanded His apostles to observe and teach all things whatsoever I have commanded you. Christ is the way to follo. w, and - He- says : If ye climb up any other way, the same is thief and a robber. If we want to get to Heaven, let us search the scriptures Tor they testify of Him. Christ also suffered for us leaving us an example that we should fol-low His steps, who did no sin neither was guile found in His mouth. * Who when He was reviled, reviled not again, when He suffered He threatened not.- 1 Pet. 2: 23 He made himself of no reputation and took upon Him the form of a servant and was made in the likeness of men He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death even the deathof the cross.—. Phil. 2: 28. He was rich, yet for our sakes He became poor that through His poverty we might be made rich--- 2 Cola 8: 9. Praise the Lord! He went . about doing good, preaching to the poor, healing the sick, making the lame to walk and the blind to see, etc. He done the will of the Father; He taught and lived a holy life. Rebuked sin. He instituted the ordinances of baptism, the Lord's supper, and feet washing in example and by precept ;- and many more things are recorded in the scripture' that we are comnialided to follow Him in. While He was in the world, He was the light of the world and said : He that fol-loweth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Praise theLord! Nay each person that is trying to live so that they may get to Heaven when they die, become pure- as He is pure through the Blood of Christ, and then follow and teach all things that Christ taught and done, and there will be one faith, and one Lord.

Oh I do love to obey that blessed crated all to the Lord, and asked Him to Jesus wine gave His life a ransom that we sanctify us wholly. 0 I do praise God that, might live-; who was Without sin, neither He ever sent some of His ministers here to preach the Gospel in its purity. I ' had be-longed to the M. E. sect almost 20 years. That is a long time to be in bondage. No one knows the bondage of babylon but those who - have been in bondage. 0 praise the Lord ! How - willing I was to give up all, though to a great extent the enemy had overcome nie with pride and fashion, but praise the Lord I was willing to submit to His will. He heard my prayers and answered, and I through the atoning blood lie washed me and cleansed me from all sin and set me free. I earnestly play God to send some Holy Ghost - minister this way to preach the Gospel in its purity, and build up a Church to himself in the beauty of holi-ness, without spot or Wrinkle, but pure as He is pure, for we know without holiness none shall see God. Dear saints, do not think that you can be called out of babylon and then attend their meetings continually and keep salvation. I am all -. sold out, con-secrated entirely to God, willing to be any-thing for Jesus: Your sister sanctified by the everlasting covenant. Lida A.

I have that peace within me telling me that I am born of God, adopted, into the family of God, and become a joint heir with Jesus Christ. [ low pleasant it. to belong to : itch a family.

During the winter I was taken-sick, and on Sabbath morning the Lord showed me his wilt was for me to send Or sister Gould, that I may obey His Word. She came and we had prayer, then she obeyed God inlaying on of hands, and the Lord healed me at once. And filled my soul with praises to Him for doing the word. - The next Tuesday I exposed my-self, causing a relapse which brought me down so low that for two days I thought the Lord would take me home but I was perfectly reconciled to go. But the good Lord saw fit to raise DO Up again. The Lord sent Bro. Fales, Bro. Cox, and Harp in to see me, and oh how = that sweet love of Jesus flowed into our hearts as it must do with the - ehildrenof God. Then the saints appointed prayer- meeting at our house, and how wonderful that same bless ed Jesus did manifest Himself to us.

Basore. ld t d e I I 1 ALBANY, ILL DEAR SAINTS:— I praise God to day for salvation, and the comforter that abides with us. Although we have been led through deep affliction in the past year we can truly say, the Lord is our helper. How often in our trying hours have we been comforted with those precious words, that fell from our Fhaviors lips: " Let not your heart be troubled" etc. Oh it is glorious to live under the sweet influence of the Ho-ly Spirit; who guides us into all truth, and gives us a humble submission to all the will of God. Praise the Lord forever and ever! My soul rejoices in my Savior who has redeemed and washed me in His own blood._ On the 2 Ith, of March, husband and I started for a short visit with our Bro. and sister, Jno. and Lizzie Livingston. They live in Washington county, Ilan. About 4 ibiles from Mahaska, a station on the Chi-cago, Burlington and Rock Island road. Our visit was very pleasant and enjoyable. Found some precious souls hungry for the truth. Some have already thrown off the shackles that were put upon them by hu-man organizations, others see the awful Condition of the sects, but have not heard the evening light preached. May God send some of His holy anointed ones to that place in the near future, for truly the field is already- white to harvest. May the Lord raise up labOrers. As I was looking over the Gospel Trumpet, of last number and sat the announcement of the meetings for the summer campaign, my heart went out to God for His blessing upon the work. Oh may God through the Holy Ghost qual- 1 fy every heart and put His Spirit upon every one. that whether they labor at home or abroad they mayknow their commission s from God. Oh may God save His peo-pie from the awful blight that follow de-ceitful workers. ' Oh dear saints, think of the great responsibility that we assume when we take up the Word of God to teach t to our fellow men. Surely if we have any other Motive than the honor and gle-y of God, we must give a sad account of our stewardship. Oh! may God give each of His workers a re- anointing, and 1.- eep the fire burning on the altar of every wart, is my prayer. Pray, for IA that we may keep low down at the feet of Jesus.
