Were it not for the. grace Received from God, Oh, hew hard would be The chastening rod That divides a family And forces to roam, Father and children, without Mother or home !. But not without Jesus, And never alone; For the heart of the saint - Is His sanctified throne. The words of our sister, Spoken in love, Are still sounding here, While she rests above. Her earnest entreaties for Sinners to yield Are echoing still, on God's battle field. Why the Master called her We do not know, But we kiss the hand that Dealt the blow. When the dear Savior's Face I see, Dear sister, I will Look for thee. Methinks IT not have Long to wait, For in fancy I see thee Near the gate, Waiting to welcome us One by one, When our work, like thine, On earth is done. All glory to God, and Christ our King ! Through eternity let His praises ring. On earth we will suffer His righteous will, And the place in His body Assigned us fill Filled with His Spirit Clothed with His might, s, Spreading, the Gospel in Clear evening light. Emma I. Coston. THE INHERITANCE OF ABRA. HAITS CHILDREN. -- all the land of Canaan for an everlasting possession, and I will be their 17: 8. Read Gen. 22; 17, and 28: 3. For if the inheritance be of law it is no more of promise, but God gave it to Abraham by promise.- Gal. 3: 18. How could this be an everlasting inheritance ? By being typical, and the type giving away to the antitype. When was this great change made ? _ Answer.--: When the seed was changed from the literal to the spirit-ual. We read in Rona. 9: 7, 8,- Neither be-cause they are the seed of Abraham are they all children, but in Isaac shall thy seed be called, that is, they which are the children of the flesh, these are not the chil-dren of God, but the children of promise are counted for the seed,- fulfilling the promises: " Thy seed shall be as the sand by the sea shore, and as the stars of the heaven;" " Father of many nations. " etc. Those that are born of God are the seed and heirs according to the promise of everlast-ing inheritance. The literal seed is cast out, the spiritual seed steps in and posses-ses their possessions which is holiness. See Oba. 17. But Jerusalem which is above is the mother of us all.- Gal. 4: 26. Now we brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise, but as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born-after the spirit, even so it is now; neverthe-less what saith the scripture: Cast out the bond- woman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not he heir with the son of the freewoman. Gal. 4: 28- 30. So sectish Jews and sinners have no inherit-ance in the kingdom of God and of Christ. Rom. 3: 9; Gal. 5: 17- 21; and Eph. 5: 3- 6. For ye have not received the spirit of bond-age again to fear but ye have received the spirit of adoption whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God and if children, then heirs heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ. etc. Rom. 8: 15- 17. Let us hear Paul explain the anti- typical inheritance: That the bles-sing of Abraham might come on the Gen-tiles through Jesus Christ, that we might receive the promise of the spirit through faith." Somebody might object to this dec-laration of Paul, if they do not believe that Paul was inspired by the Holy Ghost, the great anti- typical inheritance of the spiritual seed. Oh, how clear this is that the Holy Ghost is the inheritance, which they that believe on Rim should receive! For the Holy Ghost was not given because Jesus was not yet glorified: Jno. 7: 39. For I will pour water on him that is thirsty, and flood upon the dry ground. I will pour my Spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offsprin- g-. Isa. 44: 3. How does the heir receive this wonderful inheritance? " Therefore it is of faith that it might be by grace, to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed not to that only which is of the lawsbut to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the Father of us all. No wonder it was said of God's people after the baptism of the Holy Ghost, that great grace was upon them all.- Acts 4: 33. Notice Paul's eager-ness to see the Roman. brethren that he might impart unto them some spiritual gift- Rom. 1: 11 and to see the Cor-inthians that they might have a second nefit ( grace).- 2 Cor. 1: 15. That was ul's mission- to open their eyes, and to m them from darkness to light, and from the power of satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and in-heritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.- Acts 26: 18. That I should be the minister of Jesus Christ to the Gentiles, ministering the gospel of God; that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Ghost.- Rom. 15: 16. You see the in-heritance is among those who are sanctified; those who have received the second bene-fit; those who have had access by faith into this grace wherein we stand and re-joice in the hope of the glory of God, and glory in tribulations also.- Rom. 5: 2,. 3; and in verse 5, the Holy Ghost is given unto us. And God which knoweth the hearts, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Ghost even as He did unto us; and put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.- Acts 15: 8, 9. And now brethren I commend you to God, and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up andsto give you an inherit-ance among all them which are sanctified. Acts 20: 32. This inheritance is infinitely great: human wisdom fails to comprehend it, hence the apcstle's prayer that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory may give unto you the spirit of ' wis-dom and revelation in the knowledge of call to go and work for Jesus. We read in God's Word that He has chosen the weak things of this world to confound the might-y. I worked for God wherever I could give a helping hand to those that needed help. I knew that God's handwas upon me to go and warn sinners to flee the wrath to come so when God opened up the way He made me willing to leave friends, home and all, to work for the dear Savior. For the last tvvonyears I have been out in the battle- field for God, and the dear Lord has supplied all my needs both spiritually and temporally. 0 praise His dear name ! I was called home through sickness this summer, and I know the Lord is working in the hearts of our family for which I give Him all the glory. And I can also testify to His mighty healing power. I used to be afflicted a great deal, but when the Lord saved me He showed me that all things are possible with God. Oh, I am so thankful to my heavenly Father that I realize . that he is able to heal both soul and body. Since I have been out in the work of the Lord I have met with some accidents, one of which I will mention. Last winter a year ago, at Windsor, Mo., while riding in a wagon it was upset. My head was hurt; my right arm crushed, and I * as helpless. They had to carry me into the house. I suffered with such pain I thought I would die. I also had two hard chills. Bro. War-ner and Co. were present and the dear saints called on the Lord and laid hands on my head for the Lord to heal me and the Lord healed my head and gave me faith for the healing of my crushed arm. That very night the Lord touched my body with his mighty healing power, and I was healed and made to praise God for the mighty healing power. I used to think God could heal me all except broken bones, but praise God! He gave me the gift of faith. 0 hallelujah to God and the Lamb forever ! Oh, ' tis wonderful indeed I I have testified to hundreds, of this mighty healing power, although some will not believe. But God knows I testify to his glory I know it is so. I have the dear Savior on my side, and when the Lord is for us the whole world may be against us and all is well. Some would even come to me and tell me if I would say my arm was only hurt, and not crushed, that more would believe. Well, I cannot limit the power of God. Oh! it is wonderful to know what God can do for his children if we keep low and humble at the feet of Jesus. I am determined to live so low at the feet of Jesus that I can hear him at all times. I trust that those who read this may realize God is all powerful and is able to save all those that will come unto him. tile says, " Whosoever will may come." That invitation' is unto all. 0 come to the Savior! for He says, " Behold now is the accepted time • behold now is the day of salvation." Let us live true to Jesus and obey the call. 1 realize God's grace is sufficient. Oh! I love to work for Jesus I love to give a helping hand to those who live in sin. I see many souls turn to God and find peace. There are never dying souls, perishing souls at stake; who will help to save the lost ? I for one, am willing to spend my life in the service of the Lord. I am saved just now and the very God of peace sanctifies me wholly. I have sweet peace which the world cannot give, neither can it take away. We read in God's Word, " Great peace have. they which love thy law, and nothing shall, of-fend them." I am all sold out to Jesus and am no longer my own. Dear saints, pray DEAR SAINTS:- I feel led of the Lord to write my testimony. I am filled with his praises. 0 glory to the Lamb! It is by his precious blood that I am saved and sanctified, and cleansed from all sin. and the rudiments of the world. I praise him for his healing power that keeps me from day to day, healed of all my afflictions. 0, praise our God ! I am rejoicing in such a great salvation. He keeps me by his mighty power. He has cleansed me from tobacco, coffee and tea. Ile has also healed my little boy. Praise our God for so great salvation that lifted my poor soul out of babylon; out of the Baptist sect; into this blessed, marvelous light, and I am walking in the light. Hallelujah to the Lamb I Pray much for me. Your sister in Jesus. J. P. Brown. BEDFORD, MICH. DEAR BRETHREN:- I want to testify to the healing of my body. At the grove meeting at Tekonsha two years ago, when we arrived on the ground at 3 P. M., I was so prostrate with the sick headache that I had to be bolstered up on a mattress. I had been afflicted in this way from early childood, about forty years. Whenever I worked too hard or went without my reg-ular meals I would have to go to bed for hours at a time. But the Lord wonderful-ly healed me by the laying on of hands and prayer. Your sister. TEXT! And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed. and heirs according to the promise. Gal. a: 29. We learn in Gen. 17: 5, that Abraham was made a father of many nations. And in Rom. 4: 16,. he` is the father of us all. " Know ye therefore that they which are of faith the same are the children- of Abra-ham. "- Gal. 3: 7. " And whosoever be-lieveth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God. "-) Jno. 5: 1. Some may say : We all believe that Jesus is the Christ, there-fore we are all born of God. But let us examine further : Whosoever is - born • of God doth not commit sin, for his seed re-maineth in him, and he cannot sin because heis born ef God.- 1 Jno. 3: 9. We know, that- whosoever is born of God sinneth not, but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.- 1 Jno. 5: 18. Read also 1 Jno. 5: 4; Mark 16: 16- 18. To be of faith, or a believer in the Bible sense, is more than to simply give the consent of the mind, " for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness." Rom. 10: 10. There were many promises made to Abraham and to his seed after him. See Rom. - 9: 4. But the promise contained in our text refers to that of inheritance only which teaches a clear distinction between being heirs, and being in posses- be sion of the inheritance. Also the two pro- Pa cesses are radically different. • We might enlarge here and show the positive re-quirement s or conditions on our part; God's part of the conditions of the process by which we become heirs, or receive the new or spiritual birth; also our part and God's part by which we receive our , in-heritance; but it is not necessary. They are radically different in many respects, but similar in others such as grace ow God's part and faith on ours, etc but we call y our attention to an incontrovertable fact that it is impossible to inherit until we be-come heirs, and we can not get possession until every requirement be lawfully and ful- / s r met. Now comes the inheritance: And I will give unto thee and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, ed my body a living sacrifice, holsoaccept-able unto God, which was my reasonable service, and the Lord sanctified me wholly. Oh ! the joy I felt no tongue can tell. I was all the Lord's, and He was mine and from that day I never have had any desire to go back into sin. My determination is to press forward and upward, and do my Savior's will in all things. I was the only one of our family that was saved, so I was tried and persecuted right at home, but Jesus stood by me. I realized God's grace was sufficient at all times. I also felt the for me that I may keep humble and do His cloned them all. For the first time in my will at all times, kept ready to be revealed life I could say I was the Lord's. The in the last time. Amen. next night I came to the Lord and present- Lodema ) laser. TEEGARDEN, IND. DEAR SArNTs:- I can testify this morn-ing to the mighty saving power of God. Obi I am praising God for the sweetness and completeness I find in Christ. Over four years ago the Lord convicted me of my lost and undone condition, and showed me that I must spend eternity with God, or spend it with all the wicked in the regions of the lost world; and before I came to God I could not sleep. I could not rest day nor night. Bro. Michels began meeting three miles from my home. I went to the meeting but felt miserable on account of my sins, and that night 1 asked God's people to pray for me. That night the dear Lord came to me and spoke these kind words to me : " Fol-low me, I will guide thee home." I & lion my knees that very hour and cried, " God be merciful to me a sinner," and there and then I promised God I would serve Him all the days of my life. The next day Bro. Michels came to our house. I was still in sin, but that evening I went to meetingand got down at the feet of Jesus and repented of my sins, and God for Christ's sake par- Him; the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power to upward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power. ob.:. Eph. 1: 17- 19. Again, we hear old father Zacharias un-der the inspiration of the Holy Ghost, trans-posing this Abrahamic inheritance into an-titypical or gospel light, and telling us what t is: " That He would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hands of our enemies ( carnality and its effects; assaults by the power of the devil. etc.) might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteous-ness before Him all the days of our life." Luke 1: 74, 75. The above gives the fruits of the Holy Ghost, and they correspond to the fruits or products of the land of Canaan, the typical inheritance. So we have a very beautiful analogy between the fruits of the spirit and the products of the Holy Land; the journey from Egypt to Canaan, and from sin bondage to the land of holi-ness complete. We exhort you, holy breth ren, born from above, if you have not yet received your inheritance namely, the Holy Ghost in its power and fullness; harden not your hearts as in the provoca-tion. For " this is the will of God even your sanctification. " " Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?" " The promise is unto you and to your children, and unto them that are afar off, even unto as many as the Lord our God shall call." Present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God; and be not conformed to this world, but be ye trans-formed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and ac-ceptable, and perfect will of God.- Rom. 12: 1, 2. Go on unto pefection believe God and enter in, and possess your pos-session. Amen. Your Bro., sanctified by a second work of grace, and enjoying this glorious inherit-ance. Geo. L. Cole. HEALED BY THE- POWEROF GOD. Lucy S. Daniels. WATEINSVILLE, MISS. DEAR SALTS, AND READERS OF THE TRUM-PET:- I feel led of the Lord to write my testi-mony for Jesus this morning, and the wonderful- healing of my poor body. I have been suffering for fifteen years with Neuralgia in my neck and shoulders; part of the time I could not comb my hair nor dress myself, and when all earthly physi-cians had failed to give any relief, it was then it pleased the good Lord to show his mighty power by sending his blessed saints with healing power. Never will I forget the time when Bro. Warner and Co. laid hands on me and prayed for me. That very moment I was healed. A Upraises and honor be to God's holy name forevermore I All my neighbors were eye- witnesses to the healing of my body, and not only mine but a number of others. Many hearts were caused to rejoice and give God the glory for the wonderful truths that were taught us. This beautiful light of God that is shining in the evening of the last time, reminds us of the beautiful star that led the wise men of the east to the blessed holy child Jesus, the savior of the world. Even so this holy light shining on our pathway will lead us all to glory, where we will see the blessed Savior and there meet our loved ones that have gone before; and all sing anthems, not from the throne,; but anthems around the great white throne. Oh, praise the Lord forever for the great plan of redemption ! I am walking in the light as I receive it and I want all of the saints to pray for me that I may continue in the light to my journey's end which is very near, as I am in my sixty- fifth year. Yours in Christ. W. A. Newman. LA PAZ, IND. DEAR SAINTS OF Gore- How I do feel to praise God this morning for salvation that saves me from all sin and keeps me. Glo-ry be to Jesus. It is glorious to drink at the fountain that never runs dry. I was saved two months ago, the 13th of July. That is, I was converted and walked in all the light I had, and the 22nd of July, the Lord sanctified me wholly. Oh! I cannot praise God enough for saving me. I wish to ask all the saints to pray for me. Your sister, saved and sanctified. Delphia Henter. LA PAZ, IND. I feel to praise God this morning for what I feel in my heart. God has saved me from all sin, and I feel no condemna-tion. Oh, I cannot praise God enough for what He has done for me If I had a thousand tongues I could not express it. I feel happy in Jesus this morning to know I am free in Him. 0 praise the Lord for. ever and ever. Your sister, saved and sanctified in the blood of Jesus. Catharine E.

They appreciate the freedom and salvation in Christ Jest In this meeting a few souls were saved, a all our hearts refreshed together. Next we pitched our little tent in ti grove near New Hampshire, Ohio. This another place we had long desired to via We met good brethren and sisters her Bro. Heckler, who came to the New 0. lisle grove meeting, and has been with us those following, came with us to th place. Also . Bro's Shell, Warren, ai Howard, and their companions. Here al the Lord delivered and wholly sanctified few souls. But for some reason the in mediate fruits of salvation was small than usual in those Ohio meetings. Th saints - however were much refreshed an the truth won many friends. God bless th holy brethren in this part of Ohio. Next came the Beaver Darn 0. M. Ai riving on the ground the first day, we r joiced in beholding so many tents up, an saints on the ground and frequently ne loads were coming in. The brethren thei bad a big job on hands this year haulin the brethren from the several stations an back again. A great host of holy saint poured in from every direction, more i number by far than ever before; and trul the love and fellowship exceeded all mee ings we ever attended in our life. Hypo crites and false spirifs were driven by th fire of God to the out- skirts of the congrega tion of God. The heavenly joy ofthe redeem ed frequently broke forth in loud shout of praise to God " it were the voice o a great multitude, and as the voice many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Al teujah for the Lord a God omnipotent reigneth." Nearly all meetings were attended with the deliver ance of immortal souls. Sometimes only few bowed before God, but more gener ally the long altar was filled. The children'smeetings, so blest of God ast year were continued with much in-erest this year. That work introduced last year was an important epoch in the onward march of God's cause, and this year another new era seems to have been reached, in the financial liberality of the dear saints. Without any agitation of the matter, God_ seems to have uniformly moved the willing hearted to a most pre-cious and beautiful liberality. All the dear workers were remembered, and means were quietly placed in their hands to en-able them to go on their way. This is a precious sacrifice, acceptable, unto God. Yea, a sweet smelling savor. It came the earest fulfilling Acts. 4: 32- 34. of any king we ever witnessed. " And the multi-ide of them that believed were of one hear t nd one of soul, neither said_ any of them that ught of the things which he possessed,- was s own but they had all things common.” And great grace was upon them all. either was there any among them that eked." Indeed, we felt that the untir-g labor of the saints in taking the peo-e from and to the trains, day and night, e free boardine cf all who wished to eat. the kind and liberal supply of all God's essengers, was a service well pleasing to d, and that shall notiniss a rich reward. d bless his dear saints. 0 may this o- NM 110U UTZ FIELD, Ye io, us t ir IS. ad ie is it. e. in is SO 1- er ii e-d t- - C 917, MA- mew- ow) Avis , taina o, Itte, Ann. 24, 1891.

Also we will be glad to hear from those in Tenn. and Ky. that might desire us to visit their part of the country and preach the truth to them. All such parties can address us at Hartaells, Ala. Our stay south this time will be short, but we think the Lord would have us hold at least one or two meetings in Tenn. and KY. as we return northward, if there is a door cpened. I also earnestly desire all the saints of God to pray earnest. ly to God for us, that God may live us DIED,— July 12th, 1891, after an illness of four days, Mikie Robinson, infant son of A. J. and Dannie Robinson; aged 15 mo. and 16 days. The angels seemed hovering in the room, waiting for the dear little spir-it but the Lord seemed to say, wait a lit-tle longer until I am glorified a little more in his suffering. Just as the Sabbath- day dawned on the earth, the word was given and they bore our darling far, far beyond the light of the sun, into the light and pre-sence of the glorious Sun of Righteousness. A s the sun set last night and left this earth so dark and cold we were comforted with the blessed thought that little Mikie would never see another night- fall, for they have no night there. His little spirit took the wings of the morning and flew away to Je-sus. Glory to God who giveth us the vic-tory to- day over sin, and gives us grace to bear this terrible trial I Amen. Your brother and sister in Jesus. A. J. & Dannie Robinson. Bro. Wm. R. Swinburn, only remainin son of Bro. and. sister R. W. Swinburn of Denver, Colo., departed this life in peace When asked if he was ready to go, he re-plied, yes. His . step- mother saw a bright light come down over his bed a few days before his suffering ended. A sister says she saw Jesus, while Willie was being anointed for healing at the Bangor camp-meeting, put His arms around him and say, 44 11e is mine." We felt much of the divine presence upon the occasion, which we ac-cepted. as a token of his recovery. But it pleased. God to have it otherwise. Though his pains were removed, after returning he continued to fail, and died with bright hopes of immortality, about the last of Ju-ly.

A few of God's little ones came here on the 6th, pitched a tabernacle and com-menced battle in the name of the Lord. There is a wonderful wave of God's pow-er sweeping over this place. We have pushed the battle up to the gates. lip to date there have been about 55 professions. Seventeen were baptized. Had ordinance meeting last night.

We have been hold-ing forth the faithful word in our country this season, and oh, how God has helped us! Souls are being saved. Our tent is now at Juniata, Neb., with Bro. Achor, and the work is moving on. We have a request to make: There are so many calls for the tent this fall that it cannot reach one- third of the places. And now is there any brother that is able to buy another tent? Oh, how good it would be ! God will bless you in so doing. I feel that I have made all the sacrifice to God required at my hand. God. help others on this line ! It is a call from God. Who will answer to it ? I will add a few words of my late experience that I had a few days ago. God permitted the lightning to strike my house and tear a hole through it. It was the most awful experience I ever passed through. That evening God had wonder-fully blessed me. When the lightning struck, I was so near killed, that I could not for some time get out of bed to see if my children were alive. The house took fire but it want out of itself. 0 how God did preserve me and my family F We did not sleep much that night, but wept aloud till nearly daylight. Oh, dear ones I God spared me and I dare not hold my ' mouth, but must keep at work all the days of my life. I saw, that awful night, how God can destroy mankind with the brightness of of his coming. God showed • me I must follow him wherever he leads. Last win-tee I went to Oregon and endured some very hard things; being away from my wife and little ones, I thought it very hard. I have been called to Cal, this sum-mer, and the saints are urging me to come; but I have resisted God and said it is too much. God has ways to make men go, so I am willing to go at any cost. I am all broken up this morning the tears fill my eyes as I pen these lines. There are some in the west who have been led. off from the pure body of Christ. Oh, will you not cease to make clivison We pray earnestly for you. You Bro., saved to the uttermost. James Willis. SHULTZ, MICII.

DEAR Seistes:- 1 feel led of the Lord to write that I am saved and sanctified to do the whole will of God at all times. I have found his grace eufficient in ell times of need, which are many-. Where I live there are bet few saints. I pray daily for more power of God to fill them. I know that He is strong and can open the ears of the wicked that do not hear, and strike them down that do not care. Glory to God I do love the Lord because Ile has given me full and free salvation. I have been afflict-ed for several years with lung and heart disease, and I believe God will heal me through the prayers of the saints. You will find this irOJer. 24: 7: " And I will give them a heart to knew me that I am the Lord, and they shall be my people, and I will be their God, for they shall return unto me with their whole hearts."

The Lord is wonderfully and glo-riously dealing with my soul since I have left the burning babylon. I meet with persecution on the right and left, but the Lord has given me grace which enables me to bear, unmoved, the frowns of the world. Oh, how blessed it is to suffer persecution for the sake of Christ! To me, ! here is something sacred about being made partaker of Christ's suffering. How often my soul is filled to overflowing as I read the glowing testimonies of the saints. " Blessed be the tie that binds Our hearts in Christian love." All the saints pray Tor me that I may let my light shine to those who are in darkness around me. Mrs. Geo. W. Philips. SAPULPA, I. T. DEAR SAINTS:— I thank the Lord that I am saved in Jesus.

Praise the Lord! Brethren, pray for me that I may grow in grace, and in the knowledge of the blessed Gospel. May God bless all the saints. Your brother in Christ. James E. Watkins. JACKSONEURGIT, KAN. DEAR SAINTS:— I never felt so much like pleading for a poor helpless people as I do now honest souls are groping their way in darkness, and hungering to hear the Gospel preached; and how shall they sear without a preacher ? I wrote a letter o Bro. E. F. Houghton last spring, asking for a tabernacle meeting here this summer or fall. I received a card from him stating hey would be here about Sept. if the Lord permitted. I answered his card, but have not heard from him since concerning the meeting. We would be glad to hear from Bro. Houghton through the Trumpet, or by letter. If he expects to come this fall, the ground has been secured on which to hold he meeting, and the lumber ready to seat the tent. Let any of God's ministers come who feel so led of ged. I believe a good work can be done here in the name of the Lord Jesus. A word to the dear saints who are not called to preach and have plenty of this world's goods, and have been blessed with good crops: Remember the poor people in Kan. who are starving for he bread of life, and have nothing to send or help. Last year there was a drought; his year the hail has destroyed the crops. Here some people have some oats, wheat, and rye left, and some have nothing. Dear saints, we ask you in the name of the Lord Jesus to supply God's ministers with means to come to this people, that they may hear the Gospel preached. The very God of peace does sanctify me wholly. Nancy John. ELK DALE, MO. DEAR TRUMPET:— I am glad that I can . ay to the glory of God, that I am still in the blessed land of Beulah, drinking at the fountain of life. Praise His dear name! 0 the joy, and glory in my soul! I can not tell it. I find it so easy to trust Jesus for all and in all. He seems so very near to me. I claim all the promises in the Bible. I have cut the shore line and am out on the broad ocean of God's eternal love. Praise the Lord for ever Your Bro. in Christ. John G. Neff.

We were with him the last few hours of his life, and When we knew it was God's will for him to die, prayers were offered to God that he be relieved of his suffering, and that he die peacefully. This was fully answered. It was heavenly to watch the little one pass away like a healthful child going to sleep. Funeral services held by the writer in the Methodist meeting- house. The Holy Spirit gave us these words to the tune f " Jzsus LovEn OF, MY Saint which were sang at the close of the service.

Was converted in May 1842, and was afterward sanctified through the truth, to which blessed experience she often testified during the last years of her life, until her death, which occurred like the setting sun at the close of a glorious day, casting her bright beams back upon the world in her last moments. It is said. that for fifty- two years her bright face and cheerful spirit has dispelled the gloom, and scattered the sunshine of love and. peace through her home, making glad the hearts of her loved ones, whom she often admon-ished in her last days to meet her in glory. After obtaining the promise from her hus-band and some of her children, it seemed as if she would pass into rest but the Lord spared her and gave her strength to rally. She then called for her youngest son for whom she manifested the greatest anxiety, and obtained from him the prom-ise that he would meet her in heaven. She then fell asleep amidst the bitter sobs and cries of a grief- stricken husband and chil-dren. " The angels bore our mother home In shining garments fair, And some bright day we hope to come And join thee over there." Her pure and godly life has been a bless-ing to her devoted husband, children and neighbors. According to her request, the writer was called upon to conduct the funeral services, and with sad hearts we met the mourning friends, and preached a discourse to a large congregation. W. W. Bradley.
