There ei sp which they receive, as Paul says in 2 Cor. 9: 7. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, - so let him give; not grudgingly, or of neces-sity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. And in the next verse we have the pi omise, And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work. - But he says in the 6th verse, " He which soweth sparingly shall also reap sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountiful-ly." For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God. While by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal disti ibution unto them, and unto all men; and by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you. ' Thanks be to God for his un-speakable gift."— Verses 2— 5. Paul calls it an unspeakable gift. In chap. 8:- 7 he says, " Therefore as ye abound in everything, in faith and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence; and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also." Oh, that all who profess to be the children of God, would get this grace in their hearts! You not only starve your own souls, but you rob God of that which is his due by not giving to his cause as you ought to do. - You may . say, I am not able, but Jesus said, " If any man will follow me let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." He denied himself of everything; gave all of his life and died for you that you might have eternal life. Paul says in 2 Cole " For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, for your sakes he became poor; that ye through his poverty might be rich. And herein I give my advice: for this is expedient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago. Now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a. readiness to Will, so there may be a performanc out of that which ye have. For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man bath, and not according to - that he bath not. So it is the willing mind. that is accepted by God; and if there be a willing. mind, we will find a way give. . " There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that with-holdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty. The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that water-eth shall be watered also himself."— Prov. : 24, 25. " Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove e now herewith, saith the Lord of lsts, if I will not open you the win-ows of heaven and pour you out a essing that there shall not be room lough to receive it."

How are we to be " delivered from the body of this death" ( sin) ? Answer. " Through Jesus Christ our Lord." Rom. 7: 2. In the spring of 1886 I had a vis-ion which was published in the Trumpet, March i5 of that year. I feel it a duty to give it for publica-tion again as its import with corres-ponding scriptures should convince every reader of two things. First. Of the second work of grace, by which ( through consecra-tion and faith) we die unto the world which is not reconciled to the law of God, neither indeed can be. And are made alive unto God, through faith, being resurrected into his image." Second. That immersion is the only scripture baptism, as it is the only mode that will represent this death to self, burial with Christ, and resurrection to newness of life. Here is the vision: The Savior stood near me, a vein or artery had been opened, and stood open for all that would come unto him. I was to have a vein opened in my neck, which would cause my death by allowing all the natural blood to flow out of my body. And when I was dead I was to be raised to life by the Savior placing the opened vein of his body to the vein in my neck, and the blood from his body ( which could never be exhausted') was to pour into my body until I should be resurrected " into his image," with his blood and nature. I had faith to trust in Jesus for being thus brought: to life again, and con-sented to the death of my body in this way. The bed on which I was to lie was ready, and all , my friends tried in vain to dispersuade Me.- I was aware they would all Cali me crazy, and would all forsake me, and that the white pillows would all be pulled away from under my head when the blood began to Flow, and that I would be deserted by all in the dying struggles; but I said, " None of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself." And be-lieving that if I was " planted in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection." - And " he that findeth his life shall lose it, and he that loseth his life for my sake, the same shall find it." And I prepared to " present my body a ing sacrifice" on the altar Christ Je-sus, knowing- that he was able to keep that which I committed to him, and having faith he would bring my body to life again, renewing it by his own THE GOSPEL TRUMPET 17ZEILT SOLIIIZOS filYINE HEALING SOULA4— iofppODY, E.

It is becoming very difficult to distinguish between the worldly church ( sect) members and the out-side sinners. Some of our largest and grandest church organizations pos-sess only a mere handful of spiritual people. Church members-- rather sect members— claim to be dead to sin, who are most wonderfully anima-ted corpses, who never think of Christ as a present Savior from sin.

Exercise, to be of marked benefit on the general system, must be so conducted, as to influence all the tis-sues of the body. The usual rules for exercising simply apply to muscu-lar exercise— constitutional effects are only secondary. I would reverse it, making exercise for its constitu-tional effect the first consideration, and the benefits to the muscular sys-tem secondary. The business man who, after a day of worry and mental • fatigue hears a laughable story told by a comrade and enjoys a hearty laugh, takes an exercise of far more value to him than any amount of muscular exercise in a gymnasium would be. • That * exercise Which de-velops. endurance is - of more value than mere feats of strength. The young man who can run two miles without being winded is better devel-oped to stand the wear and tear of life - than he who can lift an unusual weight or do some especially difficult feat on the bar or trapeze. Exercise . to be of benefit must amuse, or at least interest the person exereising. A walk taken in a mere routine man-ner will be of little benefit. Start out with the intention of walking- a mile every morning, and see what a task it becomes; but if you have a mile to walk to your work and no other way of travel, your mind will be on getting there, and the time will pass quickly, and you will recei vNee corresponding benefit. Business men require but little ex-ercise, as a rule; the walking they get in their business is sufficient; what they require is relaxation of mind. But besides increasing strength of muscle, what are the effects of exer-cise? The effects are mainly upon the circulation and the nervous system. The circulation is carried on, for the most part, by the heart: but the contraction and relaxation of mus-cles are great assistants in the process. The veins have valves; every time a tip- popular mind there is an atireiy erroneous impression as to wnat exercise is necessary for and conduce to health. This error is not alone confined to the popular mind. I am sorra to say. for members of my own profession are either si-lent or else give wrong instruction on this subject. I pointed out, nearly a dozen years ago, that exercise is either for ,,. ength ar yl agility or for its effects on health. Strength and agility of muscles are bvno means es-sential to health. The man who ex-ercises with dumb- bells and clubs and expects to find any material improve-ment in his health will quite probably be disappointed. It is not unusual to find men of strength with poor health. Athletes may be able to perform great muscu-lar feats and yet be wrecks in mind and body. Men may daily exercise in a gymnasium and steadily gain in muscular strength, and in ability to perform certain feats, and yet be chronic invalids. And yet exercise is proper and necessary to health. I write here more especially for the young and middle- aged man. The youth will. up to the age of physical maturity, secure sufficient health- giv-ing exercise in the sports of boyhood. He will undoubtedly do this unless restricted by his parents. A fondness for one game or a particular sport may make it necessary for him to take some exercise which will give him a more erect carriage or a better de-velopment of certain muscles, and as a " setting up" exercise there is pro-bably nothing superior to the Indian clubs, as they develop those muscles of the chest and shoulders which make men erect, and tend to give a proper carriage to the upper portion of the body. This, too, is beneficial to the business man of more mature years, but beneficial for the most part in giving an erect carriage to the body, and, only in a small degree in CALDWELL, KAN. To THE CHILDREN OF GOD: The Lord is the same yesterday, to day arid forever. I have found the same abiding comforter. He keeps me to the blacksmith's work, and he will be all the better equipped for a healthy progress through life if he will occupy his leisure moments in such mental exercise as will add to and properly develop his brain.

The man who works all day long at hard manual labor will find healthy exer-cise in cultivating his brain, by read-ing thoughtful books during his hours of idleness. Horseback riding would be irksome to him, for his muscles are already tired, but your brain-worker will find the hoiseback ride exhilarating and refreshing, for in his case it is his brain that is tired and not his muscles. The aim should be to bring about a healthy equilibrium. The brain- worker does not need the muscles of the blacksmith, but he does need his powers of end urance, he needs his good heart and good diges-tion even more than the blacksmith. saved and sanctified to do the will of The hardened muscles are essential God in all things.

The reciting of a humorous story by a comrade which makes him laugh heartily, may not increase materially the size of his bicep muscles, but will start renewed circulation in that very important organ, the liver, and will do him material good. Then, too, one of the most mpor-tant functionspf the liver is to throw off or excrete the waste matter of the nervous system, and therefore it is essential to a clear : brain that we should have an unobstructed circula-tion in the liver. This is best brought about by standing erect, head and shoulders back, and taking several deep and full inspiration and expira-tions every day. This, I assure you, is more beneficial to your general health than a half hour in a stuffy gymnasium. The business and professional man, THY TESTIMON1E' ■ AR& WONDERIVL.
