| Summary: | Gospel Trumpet 1881-June 3, 1962, Vital Christianity June 10, 1962-Sept. 1996, One Voice June/July 2004-Apr/May 2007 Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye be-lieved? - Acts 19: 2. This scripture is ' of. great impor-tance to us. Some say that the Holy Ghost was only given to the apostles. But here Paul finding certain disci- . pies at Ephesus, puts this question to them. And they had good reason for not having received the Holy Ghost. - But suppose this question was ask-ed the many Christian professors of to day, - what would be their an-swer? We read in Acts 2: 38 and 391 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the re- . mission of- sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your child-ren, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. And Christ says in Luke rt 13, If ye then being evil know how to give good gifts unto your children, bow much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him. God has in all ages of the world had and used means to talk to his people to reveal his will unto them, that they might know what to do, and what not to do. It is written ( Gen. 3: 9) , And the Lord God called unto Ad-am, and said unto him, Where art thou? He spoke to Moses out of the burn-ing bush, and Moses recognized his voice. And God talked with Moses a-gain on Mount Sinai. ( Ex. 19.) God sent an angel to talk to Joseph at differ-ent times. God spoke to the people through his Son when-- Christ came in-to the world. ( John 14: Jo.) And the Lord was here introducing the dis-pensation in which we are ndw living. We can readily see what was to be the office of the Spirit of God ( or the Holy Ghost, the Comfortetetc.). Ver-ses 16 and 17,--- And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you an-other Comforter that he may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive because it seeth him not, neither ■ •• 7 ■ 1• 01.1 ■ 1• 10., him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you; but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath tang ht you, ye shall a- I unrighteousness.- Here we see the bide in him. I apostle makes a distinction between These scriptures clearly teach that forgiving and cleansing from all un-it is the office of the Holy Spirit to righteousness. We will first notice teach his people the truth, and that it in verses 3 and 4 that John was writ-teaches no lie. Any one not having ing to a people whose sins were for-this Spirit of truth dwelling in them given, for he says: " That which we lacks this medium through which have seen and heard declare we unto God talks to his people; they need a you, that ye also may have fellow-preacher, and such - a one as is recom- ship with us, and truly " our fellowship mended in Romans Jo: 15; I Cor. is with the Father and with his Son 2.

And in John 15: 11, Jesus school, how the teachers and senior speaks to his disciples, saying: " These members of the school would differ things have I spoken unto you that my on many questions concerning the joy might remain in you, and that your truth. I did not then know what it joy might be full." And he was speak meant, but it is very plain now that ing to men whose sins were forgiven, they were not all taught of God: in- for he had already ordained them, as deed very few of them were. Because you will see in verse 16. So this ex- God does not reveal the truth in two plains 1 jno. 1: 8, where so many peo-or more different ways.

To ning. be sure, very few of those persons pro- Notice how the first line reads: " If fessed to have received the Holy we say that we have no sin," then the Ghost, but would many times pray for question should be asked, when? To t, yet never received it. And yet they which we answer: when we were in would insist upon having their own the condition of those in verse 4, opinion about the probable meaning whose joy was not full. Such he says of the scriptures; and many honest in verse 8, are deceived, and the truth souls, lambs of the flock, were looking is not in them. And in chapter 2: I on, expecting and needing food, and he is writing to those_ same people, were starved to death ( spirituallY), and commanding them not to sin, which in a short time they had no experience would be disobeying His command-of salvation, and were unable to give meats: and " He that saith, I know a reason for the same. The love - for him, and keepeth not his command-the prayer and class meeting was gone; meats, is a liar and the truth is not they forgot how to trust God; they in him." NOW these were regenera-must trust in their own strength, and ted, and John calls them little chil-that is very small. Still the preach- dren. And in Rom. 7: 16, 17, Paul in er will allay their fears by telling speaking of his past experience shows them, " He is glad to see so many Hy- what was lacking in their cast. He ing witnesses for God. And that they says, " If then I do that which I would are on their way to heaven." And they not, I consent unto the law that it is can live for years in that way, and good. Now then it is no more I that do never get their eyes open until it may be forever too late. It is true that God reveals the truth to lass people by his Spirit, and consequently no one is qualified to teach who has not the Spirit of God. But how many Christ-ian professors of to day are qualified to, teach or prophesy in the light of God's truth? We must have some-thing more than the opinions of men. May many know when to seek for the truth and become acquainted with God, whom to know aright is life e-ternal. Observe the darkness, confusion, and spiritual death caused by follow-ing doctrines of men and of devils. For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one each you again which be the first princi-ples of the'oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.— Heb. 5: 12. knoweth him; but ye know him: for Yes, men and women of the world, he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. And verse 18,--- I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. He dwelt with them in the person of Jesus Christ, and shall be in them in the person of the Holy Spirit. He was their comforter while he was with them, but now he must go away. 16 : 7,— For if I go not away, the Comfort-er will not come unto you-. but if I de-part, I will send him unto you. Ver. 8,--- And when he is come he will re-prove the world of sin, of righteous-ness, and of judgment.

The a- saints remain in that as the final, per-postle says, " If _ we confess- our sins manent, and finishing work of grace. he is faithful. and just to forgive us They knew of no grace beyond the our sins, and to cleanse". us from all one that is next entered after justifi-cation. To stand is to be established; and this grace is explained by the same apostle in i Thess. 3 : I 2, as hay-. ing the heart established unblameable in holiness. Two things are implied in the words, " we stand." First, as compared- with the initial grace of justification, wherein the dangerous foe of inbred sin still has a place, and greatly hinders the Christian life, entirer santification is a far more , sta-ble, fixed and unmovable state, where the soul stands more victorious over all the powers of evil. Second,"- we stanedenotes that in this grace sal-vation is consumated. It is a stand-ing grace, and not a transition state. All that God has prepared in his store house of blessings comes to us in this grace, and we never pass on to any other moral state beyond this graee. - We never see the end of this Beulah land of perfect love, and we never pass beyond it to a higher state of moral perfection in this world, or in worlds to come; except the resur-rection, immortalization of the body. Even going to heaven itself is no-where taught to be the entering up-on a purer inward state, though it be an infinitely more glorious location. This we can prove by the word. The Heb-rew brethren had " come unto Mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem— to the church of the firstborn," and to his precious sprinkling blood.— Heb. 12: 22- 24. They were converted and in the church. But they were commanded to go on to perfection. 6: 1. For. I by one offering He hath perfected forever them that are sanctified. Whereof the Holy Spirit is also a witness unto us.— Heb. 14, 15. Sanctification perfects us forever. it, but sin that dwelleth in me." Which Hence there is no third work, for per-fection cannot be improved upon. In this grace we grow, increase in dom, in the knowledge of God, and in fruitfulness throughout time and e-ternity, but never pass to a more per-fected moral state never become more pure in heart. " Perfected forever" does not mean that our salvation can-not be forfeited, but it means that no brother writes from Dagus Mines, Pa. stating that there was a man there preaching a third work, and wishes to know if the script-ures teach such a thing. To which we positively answer, no. All the sciptural figures of salvation show but two states of grace. Egypt represents the sinner's condition, en-tering the wilderness through the Red Sea, conversion, or regeneration, and Canaan, perfected holiness, and beyond that there is no other state of grace follows in the series of fig-ures. The tabernacle is a beautiful fig-ure of the way of salvation; and is so Used by the apostle Paul in Heb. 9th and loth chapters. In Rev. II the court is " left out," " given to the Gentiles" — sinners. The holy place, is regen-eration; the most holy, entire sanc-tification. Only two states of grace. Positive scripture statements teach emphatically but two works and states of grace. A few only will suffice. Rom. 5: I, 2 . sho. w us two states of grace. First, justification by faith. Second, " Access by faith into this grace where-in we stand." " This grace," is clear-ly seen to be a state of grace beyond justification, and this is , " the grace wherein we stand;" namely, the a-postles themselves and al perfected LS THERE A THIRD WORK 01' GRACE? _ And he said an. to me, What sent thou?

Grand Junction,- Thursday 2, Volume more perfect state of moral purity can ever be reached in this life, or even in heaven. This is because we are " pure even as he ( Christ) is pure." — I John 3: 3. The two fold salvation is also seen in Titus 3: 5. He saves us, by the washing of regeneration, and the re-newal of the Holy Spirit. Regener-ation makes us a child of God, and the " renewal" restores the soul in the image of God, our Creator. Col. 3: Io. This renews the image of God in man, as he was first created. A third work of saving grace would therefore advance man to a plane of moral perfection beyond where God created him, and would cast reflect-ions on the Creator. We have occasionally met persons babbling about a third work of grace, and have always found them deluded of the devil, and without the first grace. All these blinded souls define their third grace differently. Some teach that it destroys natural affection. Just the deluded characters that are predicted in the last days. 2 Tim. 3: 1- 3. It has usually been mixed with free- love, companion- hating, and for-saking, and somebody- else- loving spirits of devils. Avoid it. --- - THE CHURCH. N the Old and New Testaments the words Zion, Jerusalem and church are used synonymously. We read in Heb. 12: 22, 23,-- But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, to the church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven. Also Rev. 21: 9,1o. The an-gel said unto John, Come hither, and I will show thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me that great city the holy Jerusalem. The Lamb is Christ, and the bride, his church. We will prove by the scripture what his church is. First, we notice the foundation of the church. Isa. 28: 16. Thus saith the Lord God, Behold I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation. i Cor. 3: ti,— For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Eph. 2: 20,— And ye are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus, Christ himself being the chief corner stone. Second, its walls and gates. Isa. 6o: iS. Thou shalt call thy walls sal-vation, and thy gates praise. Isa. 26: I, 2,— We have a strong city; salva-tion will God appoint for walls and bulwarks. . Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may , icnter in. So we see it is none but the righteous that keep the truth that are in the church. Zech. 2: 5,— For I, saith the Lord, will be un-to her a wall of fire round about, and will be the glory in the midst of her. Who is the head of the church? We read in EFp 1h. I: 23, that God hath put all things under his [ Christ's] feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, which is Ills body. I Cor. 12: 12, 27,— For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. There is but one head and one body, hence but one church. How do we get into this church? Psa. 87: 5, 6,-- And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her. The Lord shall count, - when he writeth up the people, that this Man was born there. Praise the Lord! We do not need to join this church, but we are born in it. Acts 2: 47,— And the Lord added to the church daily, such as should be sav-ed. Who are the inhabitants of this church? Joel 3: 17 So shall ye know that I am the Lord your God dwell-ing in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there - shall no strangers pass through her any more. Heb. i2: 22- 24,— But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innu-merable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heav-en, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits bf just men made per-fect, and to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. Isa. 4: 3, — And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that- re-maineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem. Isa. 26: 2. The righteous nation which keepeth the . truth. 0 what a glori-ous church, with no other inhabitants than those just mentioned! Nothing unholy ever enters in. Who makes the law of the church? Isa. 33: 22,— For the Lord is our guide, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our King. Isa. 2: 3,— For out of Zion shall go forth: the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. The church is the Lord's throne. Jer. 3: 17. At that - time shall they call J erusalem the Lord's throne. Psa. 146: io,— The Lord shall reign for-ever, even thy God, 0 Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the Lord. The church needs no bishop, for Christ is the head. It needs no con-ference to form a constitution, for the Lord is its lawgiver. It needs no class- book-, for our names are written in heaven.

Strickland' MENTAL TRAT, TH, person possessing a sound body enjoys a great blessing indeed, a blessing that is beyond price; yet the one who has a sound mind in a sound body enjoys something even beyond what the other can realize. There are disorders of the mind, feel-ings and sensibilities, , produced by strains on the mental capacities of those afflicted, as well as by disorders of the body. Some one has told us, and we also know by experience, that a hearty laugh during or after a meal is productive of the best results on the operation of digestion. We also know that a person who is thinking deeply, grieving or worrying cannot eat or digest food to the satisfaction ofthe body. A healthy mind then must be one that can lay aside the serious things of life ( in the sense of worrying), and call up all the cheer-fulness in his nature for the benefit of his digestion. Fear is also a disease of the mind, and is an epidemic that can be taken from persons who are not afflicted in the same way. We have seen small children catch, and become thorough-ly inoculated with this dreadful mind-destroying disease in the course a few minutes. Strange to say, they were exposed by their own parents to such disease breeders, as " bears," " bad-men," etc., coming after them in case they did or did not do so and so. Teachers in our schools have also used fear as a rod of government. Shame on such parents and teachers, who are unable to command the obe-dience, love and respect of children without resorting to such inhuman methods! How many parents and teachers are aware that if a child grows up into a timid, scared ( afraid to call its mind its own) state, that somebody is as responsible to God for that child's mental state,— for that poor little crippled mind— as though they had by one blow, instead of slow torture, brought things to the same state. The child comes into the world without fear of danger. The only fear it knows is known by an-other name, " love;" and is shown in not wishing to do anything, as far as it understands, to displease its par-ents. Fear is an instinct given to animals for the protection of them-selves. Man has no such instinct, and if fear is implanted it must be done by knowledge. This knowledge in the child's case comes from a source ( the parent or teacher) which the child trusts fully. It learns to fear, even as it learns to talk, by being pre-sented with fear. How many, many little ones are afraid of the " dark," as they express it; and how often do they sob themselves to sleep because some criminal mother in her efforts to quiet them, has " told them some horrible tale of coming " bad men," " bears," etc. - This disease, " fear" at last upsets the mind, and through the mind de-ranges the body; and humanity has another load to bear because of crim-inal ignorance. Governing children, persons or animals by this means can-not be too strongly condemned. See how many poor animals have become unfit for use, how many children are unfitted for life all because they have this " fear of man" punishment always before them. Does the parent and teacher ask in despair, Shall we not punish our children when they persistently dis-obey? Yes, if necessary. The rod so strongly recommended by Solomon can still be used. But never, as you value the minds of those God has given into your care, never threaten them either before or afterward. This we give as the fruit of actual experience. God holds us all responsi-ble for the way in which the flock is taken care of. See to it that you are not destroying,. the " mind health" of - any of God's little ones, whose angels always behgld his face in heaven. Love brings these minds back to health. Love is of God, and you will find his store houses full of the same remedy. Amen. F. Husted. GOBLESVILLE, MICH. DEAR BRETHREN: I am saved, that too, by a second work of grace.

Oh, the unspeakable richness of the fullness of his love to forgive all our sins, and then to sanctify us through his blood!

Some have already gone through; and came out white and spotless, while others are just entering in. Watch says the word, for these things shall come up-on us.
