THE NEED OF WATOHING AND PRAYING, If among the older people You may not be apt to teach " Feed my lambs, said Christ our Sliepherd, Place the food within their reach :" And it may be that the children You have led with tremblin g hand, Will be found among your jewels When you reach that better land. If you cannot he the watchmen Standing high on Zion's walls, Pointing Out the path to heaven, Offering life and peace to all; With your prayers and with your bounties, You can do what heaven demands; You can be like faithful Aaron, Holding up the prophet's hands. Harkl the voice of Jesus crying, IrWho will go and work to day? Fields are white and harvest waiting, Who'wilt bear the sheaves away"? Load and strong the- Master ealleth, ' Rich reward he offers thee; Who will answer gladly, saying, Here am I, send me, send me? If you cannot cross the ocean And the heathen lands explore, You can find the heathen nearer, Yen can find them at your door. If you cannot give your thousands You can give the widow's mite, And the least you do for Jesus Will be precious in his sight. If you cannot speak like angels, If you cannot preach like Paul, You can tell the love of Jesus, You can say he died for all. Ifyou cannot rouse the wicked With the judgment's dread alarm, You can lead the little children To the Savior's waiting arms. The Lord God shall BLOW theTRUMPET and go with Whirlwinds. Zech. g: L .

Take ye heed, watch and pray, foi ye know not when the time is. Mark 13: 33. There is an idea gone forth in the lanchand being taught by some who are deceived of the , devil, that it is impossible to fall froin grace af-ter being sanctified. Just a little com-mon sense with reason is sufficient to show plainly that this is a deception of the enemy, and not according to the word of God; but is only gotten up by false teachers, and supposed by the devil, to deceive precious souls, and leadthem- down the broad way to hell. We warn all in the name of Jesus Christ, and hope that none who are honest, and desire to make sure work for heaven, will be deceived or led astray by such teaching. Also pray that God will deliver all who are honestly deceived and desire to know the right way. The very idea Set forth in Heb. 6: 6,— If they shall fall away, plainly shows that there is a liability of falling, if we do not the whole Will of God. This one text alone is sufficient to prove that it is possible even after being partakers of- the Holy Ghost: and the warnings giVen by Christ himself, also by the apostles, are enough to show that there is danger of falling- at any time, if learn in Rom. I 16, and 2 Thess. 2: 13, that the Holy Spirit is the sancti-fier. Yet Paul who had received it ) ( which guides into all truth) , says, " if they shall fall away," showing that it I is possible. But say some, He I- o- ith perfected forever them that _ are s ant:- 4fied. Heb. to: _ Ia. That is very true; and has been since the day of Pe ntecost,- and will be till the end of time, even forever. Praise the Lord! But if they fall they are neither sanctified nor perfect. Both verses Heb. 6: 6, and to: 14 are the page of Paul: and there is no ques-Wtion as to him having the Holy Spirit hich guides into all truth, no err° r' Consequently no contradiction, but in perfect harmony When rightly under Stood Wisdom is the principal thing, therefore : get wisdom, and with ail thygettingget Understanding-.

Praise his holy name forever! And to all that are saved, watch and pray. Stand fast there fore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free: and - be not en-tangled again with the yoke of bond-tude of sins. James 5 : 1 9, 20. You see, as soon as one sins or errs from the truth, James calls him a sinner, g- ainst the Holy - Spirit, and bath trod- lbefore he sins he said brethren," den under foot the son of God and I but thank the Lord for a chance to hath counted the blood of the cove- i be converted again. I know this by nant wherewith he was sanctified , my own experience. After I was first saved, through neglect of duty I lost my salvation. The Lord called me to preach - the gospel, and I did. a warning to all who are exposed to the teaching that we cannot fall, that you may take heed and watch and pray, and keep clear from such teach-ing. If any man teach otherwise and ' consent not to wholesome words, ev-that committeth sin is the servant of sin.

Very true we know that no man cam sin and be a child of God at the same time, not even converted, for he that corn-mitteth sin is of the devil consequent-ly not of God, for one- is opposite to the other. No one can sin and be a child of God, no more than he can be a saint and a sinner at the same time. man see his brother sin a sin which is Ye cannot serve two masters, and he not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him- life for them that sin not unto death: there is a sin- unto death; I do not say that he shall pray- for it. jib. 5: 16. But some people say it is impossible to be renewed after fall-ing. He says he will give. life to any of you do err from the truth and those who sin not unto death. Paul one convert him, let him know that says of a certain class, that it _ is im- he which converteth the sinner from possible to renew them again unto re- the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multi-the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Sav-ior Jesus Christ, they are again en-tangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. For it had been bet-ter for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than after they have- known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 2 Pet. 2: 20, 21. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth, take heed, lest he fall. i Cor. 12. As long as there are temptations we have Power to yield if we will. But thank the Lord, we have no desire to dis-obey him. Yet some in time of severe trials and temptations do yield and transgress the law of God, just as Ad am did, and " the soul that sinneth it shall die;" consequently they fall in-to condemnation and a snare of the devil. Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptations. Matt. 26: 41. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith- virtue, and to virtue knowledge, and to knowledge temp-erance, and to temperance patience. and to patience godliness, and to god-liness brotherly kindness, and to bro.- membered, but for his iniquity that therly kindness charity. **** Give he hath committed he shall die for diligence to make your calling and it. Ezek. 33: 13. Another scripture election sure, for if ye do these that is used to try to prove it imposs-things ye shall never fall. 2 Pet 5- 1o. By exhorting the saints to be diligent and do these things, implies that if they do not these things they would be liable to fall. We are free moral agents and have power given us to choose whom we will serve; and that is not taken aWay in this world only from those_ who have committed the unpardonable sin, or placed them-selves where they will forever have no conviction to turn to God. If any works. The Lord received me and w abundantly pardoned me, and put t me in the body ( church) as it pleased him. Praise his name forever! I am now in the one body and very thank-ful indeed for it and I am glad and rejoice to do the will of God. And if I continue to do these things I shall never fall.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life is not of the Father, but of the world.-- i Jno. 2: 1- 6, 17. 0 be as obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts in your ignorance.— i Pet. 1: 14. Uremember one instance where God wanted me to tell how I was saved from tea, coffee and my corset. There was a brother there whose wife wore one; he jumped up and said it was all right if God had showed this to us, but we should not lay down a . rule for others to walk by. - Now I had not laid down any rule. I sim-ply told them what God had done for me and what he wanted me to tell for his g- lOry, and there was a dear sister there that I believe laid off her corset from that day, and that man continued to get more lean in his soul, until to day he seldom meets with the children of God to worship. God does not want any golden wedges hid away. 2 Cor. 13: II nally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect be of good comfort, be of one mind, Iive in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you. Con 1: to. Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. Beloved brethren and sisters, we may as well expect God's cause to prosper as it should, if we would con-tinue to wear our jewelry and ruffles and feathers and all the unnecessa-ries, when they are once brought be-fore the minds of the people, as to expect God's cause to prosper as if should when we will not put away this accursed thing from among us, which is very injurious to the temple, which God - created for his own dwelling. It has been stated, that if all the evils were known, that and sanctified and walking in the the corset inflicts on humanity, it light as he is in the light, saying that would be found to rank - with those of they cannot leave it off. Why? For the same reason that the tobacco slave thinks he cannot leave off his tobacco. I would to God, that if he has not already, that he would con-vict every soul that wears a corset as he did me. It was during a meet-ing being held by the saints about two years ago, although there was nothing said in the meeting against such things, and the brother's wife, while he was holding the meeting, wore one. God from some cause wonderfully convicted me . and told me I- had to lay it off or lose my sal-vation, and when I tried to excuse myself to God by telling him I was sci - poor, that I would look miserable without it.

Rom. II: 20, 21. Ye therefore beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked fall from your own steadfastness. 2 Pet. 3: 17. The word " steadfastness," shows plainly that they were in the stand-ing or sanctifying grace. The next verse says, Grow in grace, etc. So they were in grace, for they could not grow in grace until they got into it. Yet they were warned to beware lest they fall. The doctrine alone " that we cannot fall," is enough to overthrow all who believe it. We are only redeemed I, vhen fully saved, in the image of God, just as Adam was; and all that transgress the law of God ( commit sin) will fall into condemnation even as he did.

Yet we see those who say they are saved en the words of our Lord Jesus Christ and to the doctrine which is ac-cording to godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions, and strifes of worcIS where-of cometh envy, strifes, railings, evil surmisings, perverse disputings of men of corriapt minds and eli. stitute of the truth, supposing that gain is self.

My present experience is, I am saved. I feel like going through for Jesus on the Bible line. The devil may rage and roar on every side, but God's grace is sufficient to carry us through. It seems I never realized as much as at present the need of standing straight for God in these last days. I thank God for a people that dealt honestly with my soul; and through them he let the light shine - and I mean to walk in it. I desire the prayers of all the dear saints.

To ALL THE DEAR TRUMPET READ-S: I feel led of God to add my timony for the glory of God and and for some that are far away from the dear Savior, that there is saving power in Jesny. It is four years this month that I started out in the bat- I tie field for God, fighting against sin and the devil. I will tell you I am I ! enjoying it gloriously. Praise his! holy name! Although the devil has! ! been trying to run me home. But as! I know the tricks of Satan, I will lift, my voice while I have breath, for I realize the wheat is ripe to harvest I and the laborers are few. My pray-er is, Lord send out more to rescue ! ! poor perishing souls from that awful I place of torment. T is w inter w h de e were amongst Ithe Ozarks, my body became afflict- ' ed with heart disease. I had been I healed a year before, but as that aw-ful disease took hold on me began 1 I to wonder why the dear Lord per-; mitted it to come back on me. And began to resist the devil and be- I gan to think it was his will for! foes are t hose of his own household. d 1 profit by this lesson I learned, and I amdetermined to follow the lead ing- s .) of his holy Spirit. I ain cut loose g from all so- called worldly pleasures. I I am in the narrow way, with corn- o plete victory in my soul over all the I i powers of darkness and am trium- h pliant. I realize the enemy of our i soul is trying to drag us down. Now I all the dear saints pray earnestly forle me that my body may keep in per- I a feet health, and that Inlay be in th e as a good soldier. 13ut I have learn-notlive, but the Lord showed me my work was not done yet, and the dear saints laid on hands and re-h buked the affliction, and God raised ul me up. To him be all the glory. I will ts testify to the glory of God; and if I had obeyed the Lord in the winter n1 the enemy would have had no chance ar to try me in the least. Disobedience 13- will give the devil a chance to tanta-e! lize you as he did me. I promised e God if he would heal me I would h honor him and give him the glory. r So all the children of God, if he e , shows us his will and we are careless, h we may have to suffer. I write these e lines hoping this will - help you to keep out on the promises and under t the blood, and willing to do all God - wants you to. I am determined to oul. me to suffer; then the enemy tol nce me I was not able to do my duty, an and ' singing became a hard task. Bu red yet I was willing to work for th oust ! Master, but I could do so little fo lad him, and so I saw the trick of th nes enemy although I was brought dow ice. on my bed. Then I began to wan any to go home, for when I would try t full do my duty I could not, so I begat red to see thd devil was backing me down nly I began to take the promises of God our land believe him, so I called to have do hands laid on for the healing of my body. So the Lord wonderfully touched my body with the mighty healing power and it went through my soul and my heart just like elec-tricity, and for about an hour I felt the mighty power of God, and God showed me to write my testimony. I did not write it, so the enemy came to me and told me I was not healed. We had some severe battles to fight 93- but Jesus helped us. od But since that time I had another on attack of heart disease; it lasted for about three hours.
