Gospel Trumpet 1881-June 3, 1962, Vital Christianity June 10, 1962-Sept. 1996, One Voice June/July 2004-Apr/May 2007 I love your wild romantic beauties, Ye forms that seem to vie, Bach with the summit of his neighbor, And pierce the giddy sky: Old Rockies now to_ you, * I bid adieu, adieu, But hope we part pot here forever. I leave you as I found you covered With winter's chilly shrouds, Resaing toward the starry heavens, And mantled in the clouds; While I God's mercy preach, And you His greatness teach, We jointly glorify Our Maker. I read upon your lofty bulwarks The might of nature's God; What fortresses thy hands have imilded Where human feet ne'er trod: The strength of these are thine, And round their apex shine Jehovah's bright creative glory The dreadful heat and vast explosions That have ye mountains cast, Was God Almighty's moulting furnace, Hisgreat creative blast: lie cut between the hills A channel for the rills, And cleft the mountains for his rivers. And, 0, ye dear old rustic Rockies, How well you've taught to me, While gazing on your wondrous beauties, God's awful majesty: Thy peaks in eloquence Proclaim omnipotence, And magnify their, reat Creator. The sunbeams of the hot midsummer Fall coolly on thy snow, - That reigns in bleak perpetual winter On Pike's majestic brow : And from the line where meet, Winter's snow and summer's heat, Flow heaven's best and sparkling hey'rage Here He who bath all things created, Beholding that the rain, Conveyed by clouds were insufficient, To fresh the skirting plain: Poth treasureup the snow, And send its gracious flow, To bless the broad and fertile valleys. 4 So then ye long and lofty ranges, Your tributes do bestow, Upon the herds and greedy grangers That crop the plains below : Far o'er the broad domain, You cause the springing rain, Through skillful duets of irrigation. ' Tis true, ye cliffs and mammoth gorges Are said to formulate Storms, hurricanes, and wild tornadoes, That from your canons shoot With unrelenting force, And career in their course Until they stir Atlantic's bosom. And though they never come when welcome, On their gigantic sprees Ignoring, in their dissipation, All riglts of property; Are yet, if understood, A. sanitary good, The stagnant atmosphere well shaking. I passed thy Royal Gorge at midnight, And looking twixt the cars, Up through the cliffs that seem to mingle Their summits with the stars: A sense of holy / MP, At what my vision saw, My mind and Inmost soul Werwhelmed. The deep and Sol- mu winding passage ( lave only straightened place To Nahum's chariots and that wild streandet, That wore the mountains' base : While on our right and left, The lofty mountains cleft, Stood Vertical, or nips ineiinini. Three miles or more, with awe and wonder We thread the deep defile: Down into which the king of noon- day Casts but a passing smile. Would you this scene command, Then take the Rio Grande And look beyond the flight of poets. Upon the western slope : Ise ending, O'er lofty mountain wilds, And winding through great rocky canons, For o'er two thousand miles: I'd have you understand, The Denver Rio Grande Ontrivals till in seenie grandeur.

THE KEELY GUESE, For a few years- considerable inter-est has been awakened by a discovery that has been announced to cure drunkenness and the opium habit, devised by a Dr. Keely, and called the Keely cure, but which we have more properly named in our caption above. Institutions practicing the abominable deceptions have been established at White Plains, N. Y., Dwight, Topeka, Kan, and per-haps elsewhere. While at the latter place we heard of some of the vic-tims of the Keely curse. Some two, or three persons have been killed by it, and one since • the treatment is in the insane asylum. And now we have before us the New York Week-ly Herald of last May. the eleventh, in which Dr. Wilbur Jackson of Brooklyn, N. Y.: thoroughly exposes the entire deceptions. The Keely preparation is claimed to be bi- chlo-ride of gold. But Dr. Jackson claims to have discovered by a thor-ough analysis that it is composed of two deadly poisons, namely: atro-phine and strychnia— strychnine. The first of these poisons is thus describ-ed by Dr. Jackson. " Atrophine is a chrystalline alkaloid obtained from the. deadly night- shade, atropha, bela-dona." The following extracts from Jack-son's disclosures will sufficiently show the thing up. " The first result of alcoholism or the o-pium habit is a breaking down of the tissues of the nerve cells. Hence the constant craving in such cases for nerve stimulation. The Keely treatment cuts off the alcohol or opium and stimulates the patient with atrophine, which seems to work well until you come to stop the atrophine: but then comes the rub. The patient, or victim, if you please, goes away with no craving for alcohol or morphine or tobacco, but with a deep seated craving for something else, he don't know what; but I know it is a craving for the atrophine he has been tak-ing in large doses twice a day.

DEAR SAINTS OF THE* MOST HIGH GOD, GREETING: This morning we took our departure from Topeka, Kan, and expect to reach Nishnabot-na, Mo. this afternoon. The weather was quite severe most of the time of our short stop in. Topeka, and not succeeding in procuring a suitable place of meeting, we labored under disadvantages there. However we held some meetings in private houses, and a few in other places, but under the circumstances had but small com-panies of hearers. But thank God, we found some hungry and sincere souls, who were blessed and strength-ened by the gospel of Christ. One soul was joyfully born into the king-dom, and one sister sanctified wholly. And several have taken the way of truth and will meet to worship God, and labor for the salvation ol souls three times a week. In this city Mrs. Woodruff held a tabernacle meeting, which resulted in a great stir in the place. A couple hundred converts were counted, but they were organ-ized into the Winebrenna. rian Church of God, and C. S. Bolton placed over them as pastor. The result was, the poor souls soon found out that in-stead of realizing their expectation of. being in the church of God, they found themselves in one of the most abom-inable sects of the whole harlot fam-ily. The preacher made free ex-hibition of his carnality, and bigotry, and an insatiable greed for money: and by his policy accomplished one thing that was very fortunate for the interest of those souls which they had presumed to organize into the excellent named and little graced sect; namely, he drove them n nearly all on or caused them to depart out of his counterfeit fold. So that the preacher is left about desolate and forsaken. We learn that there are also a goodly number of the most humble members of other sects in the place who have been forced by their evil doings to flee out of their midst. These are all as sheep without a shepherd. As might be expected from their- past circumstances in Babylon, they are far below the plane of Bible salvation, but having escaped out of the charnal houses of formality there are hopes that many of them could be brought to the living waters of salvation. 0 that God may send his own fishers and hunters to ' thoroughly glean the remnant.' There is a large park by the river side in the midst of the city, which can be procured for a tabernacle or camp meeting, and by all means must be occupied next summer or spring, that the people of that city may hear the real gospel of God. We took several subscribers for the Trumpet, and left brethren there who are much devoted to the distribution of the literature of truth. So the light is spreading, and God is working, and fruits will ap-pear to his glory. We had a very precious little communion service in which nine took part in the ordinan-ces. Bro. Willis is expected to visit the place in a few days. If the Lord sends any of his flying evangelists theread-dress Bro. John Cochran, 125 N. Branner St. - We shall ever remem-ber with gratitude to God the kind-ness of that dear family to us during our stay in that city, The Lord bless and reward them. Amen. HOLT, MICH., Jan. 2S, 1893. DEAR SAINTS: I praise Clod this afternoon for his goodness to me, that he has made us free and now we are able to please him in all things. We came here the twentieth. Brother and Sister Walter were here before us holding up this evening light. The Lord is working with the people here, and we look for quite a work here. Pray for us. Your sister, sanctified in Christ Jesus, Viola Cox. POYNOR, MO., JAN. 31, 18g3. We closed meeting at this place last night with perfect victory on the Lord's side. There were thirty- one consecrations during our stay, eleven baptized, and a very precious ordin-ance meeting. We think the spirit of the Lord will lead many others to throw off their sect bondage. Among those that came out in the " evening light," three are called to publish it; two F. W. Baptist preachers and one Missionary Baptist school preacher. God bless and qualify them for the Work. We hold one more meeting in this part; then go to Warm Springs, Ark., the Lord- willing. Pray for us. A. B. Stanberry Co. ARKANSAS C IT KAN, DEAR SAINTS: God bless you all. We closed meeting here Sunday, 22d, with glorious victory, and we have been holding meeting four miles a-way and souls are coming to God there. There were forty- five took part in the ordinance of feet washing, and God is raising up a glorious church at this place. The fire is running all over this part of the country. There were present at this meeting, Bro. Swinburn of Denver, and sonic of the saints from Akron, Kan. ' sonic from Cedar Vale, and others. Bro. 11Iark- well has been with us most all through this meet-ing. We expect to hold about four meetings when I left home, but God has ' held me right here and I must obey my God. Nly address is Gresh-am, Neb. Expect to be home Feb: 7. Pray for US. Your brother in the Spirit, James Willis; ANLO, BELOVED READERS OF THE TRUM-PET: We report once more the bless-ings of God in our soul, and upon the work of God in these parts. We have recently held a successful pit) traded meeting in the Reformed house of worship at Lawrenceville, O., assisted by Bro. B. E. Warren and others. We found a clever peo-ple in these parts, with hearts open to the truth; who gave large attend-ance, except ingön a few nights of very inclement weather. Good ord-er, and attention prevailed; and the truth met the approval of the people generally. The evening light had never been lifted up in that vicinity before. About ten souls were saved; anti prayer meetings have been start-ed at that place on the anti- sectarian holiness line. This is now the third vicinity in which holiness prayer meetings are being held in this dark county of Clark. Since the series of meetings closed nearly all the saints in this country met with the little ones at that place and observed the ordinances of feet washing and the Lord's supper. The day following, jan. 26, Bro. Warren immersed sev-en holy ones. Others to follow in this sacred ordinance soon. The work ! is moving On gloriously, in these parts. Some are being healed in the name of Jesus of Nazareth. The Lord willing we commence a series of meetings in the Roller house of worship four miles west of Spring- - field, 0. to morrow evening. We so-licit the prayers of all the holy peo-ple, and the saints who can come and assist us in the forthcoming meeting are hereby cordially invited. Praise the Lord, oh my soul! - Your sanctified trother, Wm G. Schell.

We are praising God to- day for complete salvation in Jesus. Bless his dear name! The Beech Dale meeting was one of perfect victory in Jesus' name. We held nine night meetings and five day meetings, during which time God wrought a good work in the hearts of some who professed the salvation of God, but had no grace to live a holy life. ' We left the little church settled in God to go through. I hope to hear of those who confessed their needs in i salvation fully saved in the near fu-ture. God bless the brethren who so kindly ministered to our wants. May God keep them all of one mind, and i may they live in peace among them- 1 selves.

Dear Brother and Sister Byers who had been laboring with us some little tune, • ut three weeks ago felt led the Lord to leave us and go to tin Los Angeles field, and, although knew we should sadly miss their faithful and effectual service, we felt the Lord of the harvest knew what was for our best good and could say " Thy will be done."

Love to much good was accomplished both in God's people were stirring and not all the dear saints scattered abroad. the church and for the cause. Several backsliders were fully restored to the grace of God. Some of the dear ones who had failed of the grace of God had weakened in the faith, renewed their covenant with the Lord and re-ceived the fullness and perfect victory in entire holiness. - Saints from Kit-tanning, Dawson, Fértigs, Clark's Mills and other places, were present in the meeting and shared in the feast, and all the beloved saints of the Most High were greatly strengthened, edi-fied and advanced in the Lord and in his present truth. The ministerial brethren and workers present were, our dear Bro. and Sister Wickersham, of New Pittsburg, Ind.,- whom the Lord used much in preaching the word, our dearly beloved Bro. G. T. Clayton, who returned to labor in various parts of Armstrong Co., Pa., Bro. Z. R. Turner. whom the Lord has been using to his glory in Forest Co., Bro's J. Stowe, Latshaw, Martz and others. Our dear Bro. Little of Dawson was gloriously sanctified and made free indeed in Him for the first time. May the Lord ever perfectly keep him true. The Lord bless and reward the church at Henderson for their kindness to us and the saints, in supplying all our needs.

DEAR BRETHREN: God bless you a-bundantly for Jesus' sake. Amen! Oh how our hearts are made to cry out to Almighty God when we see the terrible condition of the world, lying in wickedness. Oh the degradation and crime of the people of this wick-ed city, claiming to be a Christian country! It seems indeed that there is more need of missionaries here than in India. Those professing are in such darkness. Beloved brethren in the Lord, it is time to stir, for cer-tainly the time of the end is not far distant. Lift up your eyes and look out on the world.

The time certainly is at hand, as David says, His word runneth swiftly. Ps. 147: 15. Who will help to bear it?

EAST DENNIS, MASS., JAN. 31, 1893- DEAR BRETHREN: I feel led to write you this morning to tell you that I am still saved and out on the battle field bombarding the fort of the ene-my, and glory to God, he is revealing the hiding place of some here in this place although they have been pro-fessing to be holy. This is truly a dark place, principally on account of professed holiness preachers corning here and pretending to, preach the word, and instead preach to suit a cer• tarn few and bolster them up in their selfish ways. The result being con-tention, strife, envy, hatred to such an extent that we could hardly endure to sit and listen to their stories from both sides. Oh that men and women would die to self and get the humble Spirit of Christ, who when he was re-oiled reviled not again, when he suf-fered he threatened not, but commit-ed himself to Him that judgeth right-eously. I Pet. 2: 23. Oh praise God for victory over the darkness of this present day! We have been pray-ing and - looking for some of God's ministers to come and help us in this eastern field. We feel it would be to the glory of God to make- a state-ment here of the plan of our coming summer work providing the Lord permits the same. Last fall Bro. Henry and I looked to God. to fur-nish us a tabernacle seeing the great need of meetings in many places where we could not get houses to preach in, also seeing the missionary work that could be done in connec-tion with the same, and God provided G. R. Achor. LEE, MICH. DEAR SAINTS: May love, peace and joy be with you all. My soul is filled with God's love to night, and I feel led by the Spirit to write my testi-mony. Thank God for peace and joy in my soul. I belonged to the sects for many years. first to the Lutheran and then to the Albrights and in darkness all the while. When I first attended camp meeting at Grand Junction I had a dream, and in my dream, dreamed that the world had come to an end. I saw the flames of fire around me, and the smoke ascending and the sky be-came as blood. Many people seem-ed to be around me and there was a great confusion among them. Some were weeping while others were hur-rying to and fro. I was standing on higher grounds where I could ov-erlook the throng of people; and the higher the flames arose in the skies, the louder became the scream of the people around me. And when I was awakened I thank God that it was only a dream, and that my life was yet spared that I might have an op-portunity to become a true child of God; for I was then dead in sectism and sin. I know that God sent me that vision for a warning. Short-ly after camp meeting two of the saints had a metting at the Hoppertown school house and I was led by the Spirit to come out of Babylon and darkness where I had been for many years, and received everlasting light. I got down and asked God for pure salvation and had faith in believing that God would give me just what I asked for. He has said in his word, Ask and it shall be given thee. The next day when I was working in the woods, God poured his blessing down upon me abundantly; and I thank God to night that he saved me. He keeps me by his mighty power. Jes-us is my shepherd, I shall not want. I would ask the dear saints to pray for me that I may ever be found faithful in doing my Master's will. John Leiby. J. H. H. A.

How could he thank God for deliverance from the state he portrays if he had never found it himself? We have, already seen that the words of the apostle both before and after his word picture, in chapter 7, show that DRINKING, CONTINUED. X EA is a twin sister to coffee, and its effects are similar to that of coffee:- It too is a narcotic and an astringent. Its effect upon the lining of the stomach is demonstrat-ed to be similar to that of oak bark upon beef hides; which any one can see at a glance the effect of tea. It closes the mouths of the secretory glands that secrete the gastric juice, preventing in a measure the supply of this all essential fluid to perform the work of digestion as well as the mouths of the follicles which absorb the chyme from the bowels into the lymphatics to be carried and emptied into the blood for assimilation. Dr. Trail says, " It is narcotic and is adulterated, the green tea is color-ed with Prussian blue," which is poison. Pereira says, " It gives rise to tremor, anxiety, sleeplessness, and most dis-tressing feelings. Its influence over , the nervous system, is ' analogous in some respects to that of foxglove, for both occasion watchfulness, and act as sedatives on the heart and blood vessels." Prof. C. A. Lee says, " A very strong decoction of green tea, or the extract, speedily destroys life in the inferior animals, even giv-en in small doses. The effect he says is the same as given by others. It not unfrequently occasions vertigo and sick headache, together with a sinking sensation at the pit of the stomach shortly after eating." Schwan found by experimenting that tan-nin, when mixed with artificial diges-tive liquids, threw down a precipitate which rendered the fluids inert." " From a pretty close observation, too, I am fully satisfied that the general prevalence of ' female weakness'— including an extensive class of ail-ments— are in a great measure at-tributable to WARM TEA"– TRALL. Fifty or an hundred years ago these com-plaints were rare. People in those did not in those days commence drinking those things so extensively in childhood; their bodies were near-ly formed and their constitution de-veloped before they were allowed to indulge in such beverages. Fathers and mothers who love your own offspring, wake up to your duty, and behold the awful gulf into which you are hurling them by careless liv-ing. Those are wonderful, important stubborn truths, that cannot be gain-saved; but turn the tide; for God's laws can not pass away, nor be evaded. Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.-- 1 Cor. to: Do you suppose you glorify Him in using those poisons which produce such unwarranted diseases in the temple of God? Do you think God will just-ify us in the use of thew knowingly. OATMEAL water is one of the best drinks I ever drank. I was accustomed when working to drink a large amount of water because I would get so thirsty. Working with other parties once who had their dinners with them and being Out of water and could not get any, they gave me a drink of their oat-meal water which I could hardly bear the taste of, but I had to drink it and noticed I did not get so thirsty, so I used it until I got to liking it and I rather drink it than anything else. But I would advise those who drink it, to not drink it while eating, for I am confident it is better to not drink anything while eating. and for one hour after- meal, and then oatmeal is the best.

This is the light A write God gave us when we wrote the " Bi-ble Proofs," and every increase of light confirms it. he himself was, at the time of writing, free from the same. This is further proved by his words in 7: 5,6. " For Ivhen we were in the flesh, the mo-tions of sins[ just what is seen stirring in the seventh chapter] which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death." " When we were in the flesh, " implies that he was no more in possession of that nature or inbred sin. Yea the next verse positively so asserts, " But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held." " The law was added because of transgressions."— Gal. 3: 19. And so long as any form of sin remained they were not yet entirely absolved from the Iaw. So when the law of righteousness is received in conver-sion, and the o- ld sinful nature yet re-mains, two laws are present, two moral forces, and this is the case in Rom. 7: 14- 25. But before going into that personation of himself to portray the dual state, he says he is delivered in verses 5,6. That carnal nature be-ing dead wherein they were held un-der the law. But we have said the apostle ap-plies his described condition in Rom. 7 to the Roman believers. After de-claring himself free therefrom in 8: 2; he proceeds to admonish them re-specting this matter of the flesh, ( evil nature) and in verse 13, he comes to a clear unfolding of his aim in the whole lesson. " For if ye live after the flesh ye shall die, i. if you give way to the law of sin in your mem- 1 bers it will bring forth sin and death." " But if ye, through the Spirit [ already received in adoption] do mortify[ put to death] the deeds of the body ye shall live." That is, live holy and triumphant. Having seen that the apostle ap-pliesathis lesson to the Roman breth-ren, for whose perfection he wrote the entire epistle, see 15: 15, 16; we have but to observe in i 6- 8 and 15: r4 that the parties were in a good state of justification, to know that the lesson was descriptive of men in a justified state. However we free-ly admit that if we were to take that description as portraying the grace of justification, it would greatly lower the standard of that primary grace. But we have not said that it de scribes the grace of justification, nor will we say so. It does not aim picture what the. Romans had re-ceived at all. It leaves that all out of view, and simply describes a soul in pungent conviction for entire sanctification, for the death of the old man, or body of death. And of my testimony for the first time.

I leave you as I found you covered With winter's chilly shrouds, Resaing toward the starry heavens, And mantled in the clouds; While I God's mercy preach, And you His greatness teach, We jointly glorify Our Maker. I read upon your lofty bulwarks The might of nature's God; What fortresses thy hands have imilded Where human feet ne'er trod: The strength of these are thine, And round their apex shine Jehovah's bright creative glory The dreadful heat and vast explosions That have ye mountains cast, Was God Almighty's moulting furnace, Hisgreat creative blast: lie cut between the hills A channel for the rills, And cleft the mountains for his rivers. And, 0, ye dear old rustic Rockies, How well you've taught to me, While gazing on your wondrous beauties, God's awful majesty: Thy peaks in eloquence Proclaim omnipotence, And magnify their, reat Creator. The sunbeams of the hot midsummer Fall coolly on thy snow, - That reigns in bleak perpetual winter On Pike's majestic brow : And from the line where meet, Winter's snow and summer's heat, Flow heaven's best and sparkling hey'rage Here He who bath all things created, Beholding that the rain, Conveyed by clouds were insufficient, To fresh the skirting plain: Poth treasureup the snow, And send its gracious flow, To bless the broad and fertile valleys. 4 So then ye long and lofty ranges, Your tributes do bestow, Upon the herds and greedy grangers That crop the plains below : Far o'er the broad domain, You cause the springing rain, Through skillful duets of irrigation. ' Tis true, ye cliffs and mammoth gorges Are said to formulate Storms, hurricanes, and wild tornadoes, That from your canons shoot With unrelenting force, And career in their course Until they stir Atlantic's bosom. And though they never come when welcome, On their gigantic sprees Ignoring, in their dissipation, All riglts of property; Are yet, if understood, A. sanitary good, The stagnant atmosphere well shaking.

THE KEELY GUESE, For a few years- considerable inter-est has been awakened by a discovery that has been announced to cure drunkenness and the opium habit, devised by a Dr. Keely, and called the Keely cure, but which we have more properly named in our caption above. Institutions practicing the abominable deceptions have been established at White Plains, N. Y., Dwight, Topeka, Kan, and per-haps elsewhere. While at the latter place we heard of some of the vic-tims of the Keely curse. Some two, or three persons have been killed by it, and one since • the treatment is in the insane asylum. And now we have before us the New York Week-ly Herald of last May. the eleventh, in which Dr. Wilbur Jackson of Brooklyn, N. Y.: thoroughly exposes the entire deceptions. The Keely preparation is claimed to be bi- chlo-ride of gold. But Dr. Jackson claims to have discovered by a thor-ough analysis that it is composed of two deadly poisons, namely: atro-phine and strychnia— strychnine. The first of these poisons is thus describ-ed by Dr. Jackson. " Atrophine is a chrystalline alkaloid obtained from the. deadly night- shade, atropha, bela-dona." The following extracts from Jack-son's disclosures will sufficiently show the thing up. " The first result of alcoholism or the o-pium habit is a breaking down of the tissues of the nerve cells. Hence the constant craving in such cases for nerve stimulation. The Keely treatment cuts off the alcohol or opium and stimulates the patient with atrophine, which seems to work well until you come to stop the atrophine: but then comes the rub. The patient, or victim, if you please, goes away with no craving for alcohol or morphine or tobacco, but with a deep seated craving for something else, he don't know what; but I know it is a craving for the atrophine he has been tak-ing in large doses twice a day. Do you know what the ordinary dose of this dead-ly poison is? The isoth part 61 a grain, whereas at the Keely Institution they are pumping it into their ' cures' in quantities which they would be afraid to disclose. I tell you it is not only a matter of pecun-iary advantage but of practical - prudence their keeping this formula tothemselves." LIVES A TORTURE. " Now then," said the doctor," how many of KeelVs ex- patients will teT1 3rou that they have had those same symptoms distressing them for weeks and driving them either to relapse into drink or to madness, general depression, confusion of ideas, loss of memory, nervousness, dizziness, etc.? They may not tell you, a layman, but to me they make no secret at it— dozens of them whose names I will show you on mybooks — but come to mein despair declaringthat since they left White Plains or Dwight or some other Keel}, place their lives have been a perfect hell. The atrophine is at work. " What they are doing is the next door to murder." These descriptions show the utter fallacy of trying to cure people of One poison by giving a stronger one. The misery and destruction is only in-creased and accelerated. There is however one means of cure for the thirst for liquor and opium besides the direct power of God, and that is a select vegetable and fruit diet. Dif-ferent scientists have cured the worst cases of drunkenness in this way, by removing all flesh food, and proscrib-ing fruit and cereals. NEWS FROM Tra ? MD, ST. JOSEPH, MO., FEB. I, 1893. DEAR SAINTS OF THE* MOST HIGH GOD, GREETING: This morning we took our departure from Topeka, Kan, and expect to reach Nishnabot-na, Mo. this afternoon. The weather was quite severe most of the time of our short stop in. Topeka, and not succeeding in procuring a suitable place of meeting, we labored under disadvantages there. However we held some meetings in private houses, and a few in other places, but under the circumstances had but small com-panies of hearers. But thank God, we found some hungry and sincere souls, who were blessed and strength-ened by the gospel of Christ. One soul was joyfully born into the king-dom, and one sister sanctified wholly. And several have taken the way of truth and will meet to worship God, and labor for the salvation ol souls three times a week. In this city Mrs. Woodruff held a tabernacle meeting, which resulted in a great stir in the place. A couple hundred converts were counted, but they were organ-ized into the Winebrenna. rian Church of God, and C. S. Bolton placed over them as pastor. The result was, the poor souls soon found out that in-stead of realizing their expectation of. being in the church of God, they found themselves in one of the most abom-inable sects of the whole harlot fam-ily. The preacher made free ex-hibition of his carnality, and bigotry, and an insatiable greed for money: and by his policy accomplished one thing that was very fortunate for the interest of those souls which they had presumed to organize into the excellent named and little graced sect; namely, he drove them n nearly all on or caused them to depart out of his counterfeit fold. So that the preacher is left about desolate and forsaken. We learn that there are also a goodly number of the most humble members of other sects in the place who have been forced by their evil doings to flee out of their midst. These are all as sheep without a shepherd. As might be expected from their- past circumstances in Babylon, they are far below the plane of Bible salvation, but having escaped out of the charnal houses of formality there are hopes that many of them could be brought to the living waters of salvation. 0 that God may send his own fishers and hunters to ' thoroughly glean the remnant.' There is a large park by the river side in the midst of the city, which can be procured for a tabernacle or camp meeting, and by all means must be occupied next summer or spring, that the people of that city may hear the real gospel of God. We took several subscribers for the Trumpet, and left brethren there who are much devoted to the distribution of the literature of truth. So the light is spreading, and God is working, and fruits will ap-pear to his glory. We had a very precious little communion service in which nine took part in the ordinan-ces. Bro. Willis is expected to visit the place in a few days. If the Lord sends any of his flying evangelists theread-dress Bro. John Cochran, 125 N. Branner St. - We shall ever remem-ber with gratitude to God the kind-ness of that dear family to us during our stay in that city, The Lord bless and reward them. Amen. HOLT, MICH., Jan. 2S, 1893. DEAR SAINTS: I praise Clod this afternoon for his goodness to me, that he has made us free and now we are able to please him in all things. We came here the twentieth. Brother and Sister Walter were here before us holding up this evening light. The Lord is working with the people here, and we look for quite a work here. Pray for us. Your sister, sanctified in Christ Jesus, Viola Cox. POYNOR, MO., JAN. 31, 18g3. We closed meeting at this place last night with perfect victory on the Lord's side. There were thirty- one consecrations during our stay, eleven baptized, and a very precious ordin-ance meeting. We think the spirit of the Lord will lead many others to throw off their sect bondage. Among those that came out in the " evening light," three are called to publish it; two F. W. Baptist preachers and one Missionary Baptist school preacher. God bless and qualify them for the Work. We hold one more meeting in this part; then go to Warm Springs, Ark., the Lord- willing. Pray for us. A. B. Stanberry Co. ARKANSAS C IT KAN, DEAR SAINTS: God bless you all. We closed meeting here Sunday, 22d, with glorious victory, and we have been holding meeting four miles a-way and souls are coming to God there. There were forty- five took part in the ordinance of feet washing, and God is raising up a glorious church at this place. The fire is running all over this part of the country. There were present at this meeting, Bro. Swinburn of Denver, and sonic of the saints from Akron, Kan. ' sonic from Cedar Vale, and others. Bro. 11Iark- well has been with us most all through this meet-ing. We expect to hold about four meetings when I left home, but God has ' held me right here and I must obey my God. Nly address is Gresh-am, Neb. Expect to be home Feb: 7. Pray for US. Your brother in the Spirit, James Willis; ANLO, BELOVED READERS OF THE TRUM-PET: We report once more the bless-ings of God in our soul, and upon the work of God in these parts. We have recently held a successful pit) traded meeting in the Reformed house of worship at Lawrenceville, O., assisted by Bro. B. E. Warren and others. We found a clever peo-ple in these parts, with hearts open to the truth; who gave large attend-ance, except ingön a few nights of very inclement weather. Good ord-er, and attention prevailed; and the truth met the approval of the people generally. The evening light had never been lifted up in that vicinity before. About ten souls were saved; anti prayer meetings have been start-ed at that place on the anti- sectarian holiness line. This is now the third vicinity in which holiness prayer meetings are being held in this dark county of Clark. Since the series of meetings closed nearly all the saints in this country met with the little ones at that place and observed the ordinances of feet washing and the Lord's supper. The day following, jan. 26, Bro. Warren immersed sev-en holy ones. Others to follow in this sacred ordinance soon. The work ! is moving On gloriously, in these parts. Some are being healed in the name of Jesus of Nazareth. The Lord willing we commence a series of meetings in the Roller house of worship four miles west of Spring- - field, 0. to morrow evening. We so-licit the prayers of all the holy peo-ple, and the saints who can come and assist us in the forthcoming meeting are hereby cordially invited. Praise the Lord, oh my soul! - Your sanctified trother, Wm G. Schell.

We are praising God to- day for complete salvation in Jesus. Bless his dear name! The Beech Dale meeting was one of perfect victory in Jesus' name. We held nine night meetings and five day meetings, during which time God wrought a good work in the hearts of some who professed the salvation of God, but had no grace to live a holy life. ' We left the little church settled in God to go through. I hope to hear of those who confessed their needs in i salvation fully saved in the near fu-ture. God bless the brethren who so kindly ministered to our wants. May God keep them all of one mind, and i may they live in peace among them- 1 selves.

Those professing are in such darkness. Beloved brethren in the Lord, it is time to stir, for cer-tainly the time of the end is not far distant. Lift up your eyes and look out on the world.

If more would be trying to do something to make others happy by leading them to Jesus, the minister would pot have ' to spend so much time in going over the churches but could get out into new fields and spread this glorious salvation faster over the earth. God wants hundreds of consecrated men and ' women in in other countries to tell of this pure salvation. Who is ready? It does seem to me that time is so very short, and oh the work to do yet! The time certainly is at hand, as David says, His word runneth swiftly. Ps. 147: 15. Who will help to bear it? While we are far from our dear lov-ed ones and have to meet the powers of darkness in opposition, it is joy to our souls and we are resting content-ed on the promises of God realizing it is glorious to be even separated for Jesus' sake. Pray for us much. Yours separated for the gospel's sake. Amen. EAST DENNIS, MASS., JAN. 31, 1893- DEAR BRETHREN: I feel led to write you this morning to tell you that I am still saved and out on the battle field bombarding the fort of the ene-my, and glory to God, he is revealing the hiding place of some here in this place although they have been pro-fessing to be holy. This is truly a dark place, principally on account of professed holiness preachers corning here and pretending to, preach the word, and instead preach to suit a cer• tarn few and bolster them up in their selfish ways. The result being con-tention, strife, envy, hatred to such an extent that we could hardly endure to sit and listen to their stories from both sides. Oh that men and women would die to self and get the humble Spirit of Christ, who when he was re-oiled reviled not again, when he suf-fered he threatened not, but commit-ed himself to Him that judgeth right-eously. I Pet. 2: 23. Oh praise God for victory over the darkness of this present day! We have been pray-ing and - looking for some of God's ministers to come and help us in this eastern field. We feel it would be to the glory of God to make- a state-ment here of the plan of our coming summer work providing the Lord permits the same. Last fall Bro. Henry and I looked to God. to fur-nish us a tabernacle seeing the great need of meetings in many places where we could not get houses to preach in, also seeing the missionary work that could be done in connec-tion with the same, and God provided G. R. Achor. LEE, MICH. DEAR SAINTS: May love, peace and joy be with you all. My soul is filled with God's love to night, and I feel led by the Spirit to write my testi-mony. Thank God for peace and joy in my soul. I belonged to the sects for many years. first to the Lutheran and then to the Albrights and in darkness all the while. When I first attended camp meeting at Grand Junction I had a dream, and in my dream, dreamed that the world had come to an end. I saw the flames of fire around me, and the smoke ascending and the sky be-came as blood. Many people seem-ed to be around me and there was a great confusion among them. Some were weeping while others were hur-rying to and fro. I was standing on higher grounds where I could ov-erlook the throng of people; and the higher the flames arose in the skies, the louder became the scream of the people around me. And when I was awakened I thank God that it was only a dream, and that my life was yet spared that I might have an op-portunity to become a true child of God; for I was then dead in sectism and sin. I know that God sent me that vision for a warning. Short-ly after camp meeting two of the saints had a metting at the Hoppertown school house and I was led by the Spirit to come out of Babylon and darkness where I had been for many years, and received everlasting light. I got down and asked God for pure salvation and had faith in believing that God would give me just what I asked for. He has said in his word, Ask and it shall be given thee. The next day when I was working in the woods, God poured his blessing down upon me abundantly; and I thank God to night that he saved me. He keeps me by his mighty power. Jes-us is my shepherd, I shall not want. I would ask the dear saints to pray for me that I may ever be found faithful in doing my Master's will. John Leiby. J. H. H. A.

How could he thank God for deliverance from the state he portrays if he had never found it himself? We have, already seen that the words of the apostle both before and after his word picture, in chapter 7, show that DRINKING, CONTINUED. X EA is a twin sister to coffee, and its effects are similar to that of coffee:- It too is a narcotic and an astringent. Its effect upon the lining of the stomach is demonstrat-ed to be similar to that of oak bark upon beef hides; which any one can see at a glance the effect of tea. It closes the mouths of the secretory glands that secrete the gastric juice, preventing in a measure the supply of this all essential fluid to perform the work of digestion as well as the mouths of the follicles which absorb the chyme from the bowels into the lymphatics to be carried and emptied into the blood for assimilation. Dr. Trail says, " It is narcotic and is adulterated, the green tea is color-ed with Prussian blue," which is poison. Pereira says, " It gives rise to tremor, anxiety, sleeplessness, and most dis-tressing feelings. Its influence over , the nervous system, is ' analogous in some respects to that of foxglove, for both occasion watchfulness, and act as sedatives on the heart and blood vessels." Prof. C. A. Lee says, " A very strong decoction of green tea, or the extract, speedily destroys life in the inferior animals, even giv-en in small doses. The effect he says is the same as given by others. It not unfrequently occasions vertigo and sick headache, together with a sinking sensation at the pit of the stomach shortly after eating." Schwan found by experimenting that tan-nin, when mixed with artificial diges-tive liquids, threw down a precipitate which rendered the fluids inert." " From a pretty close observation, too, I am fully satisfied that the general prevalence of ' female weakness'— including an extensive class of ail-ments— are in a great measure at-tributable to WARM TEA"– TRALL. Fifty or an hundred years ago these com-plaints were rare. People in those did not in those days commence drinking those things so extensively in childhood; their bodies were near-ly formed and their constitution de-veloped before they were allowed to indulge in such beverages. Fathers and mothers who love your own offspring, wake up to your duty, and behold the awful gulf into which you are hurling them by careless liv-ing. Those are wonderful, important stubborn truths, that cannot be gain-saved; but turn the tide; for God's laws can not pass away, nor be evaded. Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.-- 1 Cor. to: Do you suppose you glorify Him in using those poisons which produce such unwarranted diseases in the temple of God? Do you think God will just-ify us in the use of thew knowingly. OATMEAL water is one of the best drinks I ever drank. I was accustomed when working to drink a large amount of water because I would get so thirsty. Working with other parties once who had their dinners with them and being Out of water and could not get any, they gave me a drink of their oat-meal water which I could hardly bear the taste of, but I had to drink it and noticed I did not get so thirsty, so I used it until I got to liking it and I rather drink it than anything else. But I would advise those who drink it, to not drink it while eating, for I am confident it is better to not drink anything while eating. and for one hour after- meal, and then oatmeal is the best.

This is the light A write God gave us when we wrote the " Bi-ble Proofs," and every increase of light confirms it. he himself was, at the time of writing, free from the same. This is further proved by his words in 7: 5,6. " For Ivhen we were in the flesh, the mo-tions of sins[ just what is seen stirring in the seventh chapter] which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death." " When we were in the flesh, " implies that he was no more in possession of that nature or inbred sin. Yea the next verse positively so asserts, " But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held." " The law was added because of transgressions."— Gal. 3: 19. And so long as any form of sin remained they were not yet entirely absolved from the Iaw. So when the law of righteousness is received in conver-sion, and the o- ld sinful nature yet re-mains, two laws are present, two moral forces, and this is the case in Rom. 7: 14- 25. But before going into that personation of himself to portray the dual state, he says he is delivered in verses 5,6. That carnal nature be-ing dead wherein they were held un-der the law. But we have said the apostle ap-plies his described condition in Rom. 7 to the Roman believers. After de-claring himself free therefrom in 8: 2; he proceeds to admonish them re-specting this matter of the flesh, ( evil nature) and in verse 13, he comes to a clear unfolding of his aim in the whole lesson. " For if ye live after the flesh ye shall die, i. if you give way to the law of sin in your mem- 1 bers it will bring forth sin and death." " But if ye, through the Spirit [ already received in adoption] do mortify[ put to death] the deeds of the body ye shall live." That is, live holy and triumphant. Having seen that the apostle ap-pliesathis lesson to the Roman breth-ren, for whose perfection he wrote the entire epistle, see 15: 15, 16; we have but to observe in i 6- 8 and 15: r4 that the parties were in a good state of justification, to know that the lesson was descriptive of men in a justified state. However we free-ly admit that if we were to take that description as portraying the grace of justification, it would greatly lower the standard of that primary grace. But we have not said that it de scribes the grace of justification, nor will we say so. It does not aim picture what the. Romans had re-ceived at all. It leaves that all out of view, and simply describes a soul in pungent conviction for entire sanctification, for the death of the old man, or body of death. And of my testimony for the first time.
