No. 41 ESUS saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me." in 21: 22. The language of Jesus here is very forcibly brought forth and should be very carefully consid-ered by every child of God. Peter here as elsewhere in his life and ex-perience was - very meddlesome; he saw John following ( he who had Wined on Jesus' bosom), and as he him coining he wondered within imself, Well, now what will the Lord ive him to do? for he afterwards asked the question and Jesus saith, , ' that is that to thee? follow thou me. Now, dear saints of God, as you look around you and see a brother or sister whom God has blessed with a Netter gift of speech for prayer, testi- Inony, preaching, singing- or whatev-ev else it may be, or if you see one with their head upon Jesus' breast, or in other words living probably a lit-tle closer to God than you, do not feel jealous over it and ' Wonder what the' Lord will have them do; but hear the words of Jesus, What is that to thee? follow thou me. Now some one may say here that - lie was speaking personally to Peter, and as he is not here in person, this Ic sot for us. Well praise God, we have his foot prints to guide us and he : y411 not send us forth but that h9wiltaccompany us. Now while ve him for our guide in all we can see his path all along in life, and follow it. For ever continue to hear that ice saying, This is the way, n it;" or," Follow me." Now, Os, I warn you to keep your esus, and keep walking on, worry as to what God has . one else to do. Let each iir duty and God will sure-. , others their work, and the_ Flee oat of the midst of Babylon, and deliv-er every man his soul: be not out off In her iniquity; for this is tho time of the Lord's yes-gence; he will render unto her a resompenoo.

Now the question arises, how shall we fol-low him? Walk as he walked. I Jno. 2: 6. For even here unto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps. I Pet. 2: 21. In our daily walks and talks in life we have him for our example, and praise God it is so easy to follow him, for " his yoke is easy and his burden is light." Now a few words to God's watch-men. When Jesus sent you forth and gave you your commission, was it like this?—" Go ye therefore and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things whatsoev-er I have commanded you, and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." He Lys teaching them to observe all things, and in • doing this only we have the promise of his being with us to the end of the world. Now in order to have this promise we must teach men - to observe all things which pertain to life and godliness, and in any thing else we have not the promise. Dear brethren, many souls have entered eternity never to return, and many more are on the very brink of an eter-nal hell. How are your affections set, you whom God has sent forth with this commission? Are you living for God ? are you working for God and souls? are you teaching all things that Christ has told you, or are you lifting up self, theology, science or some other work which is not in your commission? Again, in traveling from place to place, do not let the devil get your affections on anything but Christ, and watch and pray lest ye enter into temptation. We will be tempted, but enter not into it: there-fore guard against lust in any way; for we find that when lust hath con-ceived, it bringeth forth sin, and sin when it is finished, bringeth forth death. Jas. 1: 15. If one goes forth to preach and says the dear Lord has sent him, and is not dead to the lust of the flesh, surely he is mistaken as to where he got his commission. In the name of Jesus, I say to such with a heart full of love, Die to lust. Oh, dear ones, it means much to be dead to all but Christ. If you find in this that you are not dead, start now and have the nails driven that you may be crucified. The nails will hurt, but oh what a glorious experi-ence afterward. This I say then, Walk in the Spirit and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Gal. 5: 16. But I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her al-ready in his heart. Matt. 5: 28. Do not go forth building air- castles; but preach Christ to this sin- benighted world, for there are millions of souls on the precipice of hell. It therefore behooves us to be honest before God and man, for there is nothing con-cealed but shall be revealed, and nothing hid which shall not be made manifest in that great and final day; and not only then, but is also re-vealed and made manifest in this present time. For where the gift of discernment is backed by the Holy. Ghost, anything not of God cannot be kept concealed. Let us therefore be honest to eternity- bound souls, and have our affections centered on God and the work of saving the lost. Follow Jesus, that we may be fishers of men. Amen. Yours in him, B. F. WEIKEL. MORMONISM. Mormonism Rejects the* ' New Testament, or New a Covenant. HIS subject was treated on by Brother Grover in a few articles published in the GOSPEL TRUMPET last spring, which showed something of the nature and origin of their sect. But we wish to make a further in-vestig- ation of their doctrine, and prove by their own standard work that they actually reject the New Testament as a fulfilled and abolished code, and in its stead they introduce another covenant as a source of salvation, which, at first thought, may appear as a light matter to the thoughtless masses. But reflect a moment! The New Testament is the words of Jesus Christ, which if rejected, Christ him-self is rejected; for he says, He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him; the words that I have spoken, shall judge him in the last day. Jno. 12 : 48. Heaven and earth shall pass away but my words ( the new covenant) shall not pass away. Matt. 34: 35. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations, and then shall the end come. Matt. 24: 14. Here it is declared that this gospel is to be preached until the end come. So there is no time nor possible chance to work in any other covenant. Observe closely the statements found in the text just mentioned, in speak-ing of Christ's word or covenant, it " shall never pass away," it " shall be preached in all the * arid for a witness unto all nations; then shall the end come." And " the same shall judge him in the last day." The prophet Isaiah forseeing that this covenant should never pass away he says " As for me, this is my cove-nant with them saith the Lord, my spirit that is upon thee and my words which I have put in thy ( Christ's) mouth shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and forever. Again this covenant is called the " everlasting covenant." Now the God of peace that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shep-herd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you perfect in every good work to do his will ( covenant), working in that which is wellpleasing in his sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be glo-ry forever and ever. Amen. Heb. 13: 20,21. This everlasting covenant con-tains the entire ministration of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant which was established upon better promises. Heb. 8: 6. In speaking of the ministration of the Spirit in this covenant in contra-distinction to the Siniatic covenant and its ministration, the apostle says: " For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious. 2 Cor. 3: 11. Remaineth, does not mean that it was only something transcient, like the former covenant, given to serve a certain purpose and then pass away and give place for a " better covenant," but thank God, it remaineth, and the operations of the Spirit is an unques-tionable testimony to the same. Let us notice the nature of this new covenant: like all other cove-nants, it is formed by party of the first part and accepted or agreed to And he Ikon sand his angels with a great nand of a trampetrand they shall gather to-gether his elect from the four - winds, from one and of heaven to the other. Now learn a parable of the Ag tree; When ids branch is yet tender, sad patteth forth leave:, ye know that summer in nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all those things, knew that It is near, oven at the doors, Matt. 24: 31- 53.- by party of the second part. Jesus Christ is the party of the first part or author of this covenant. And the man that accepts or rejects this cove-nant becomes party of the second part. This is clearly set forth by the promises on Christ's part, and the requirements on man's part. And on God's part he makes plain , what he will do for man if man will only meet his requirements; he also makes plain the consequences that shall befall man if he fails to fill his part. Now in Isa. 24: 5, it says, " They have broken the everlasting cove-nant." We ask what part of this covenant could the people break? Certainly they could not break nor affect God's part, hence it could only be man's part that man failed to keep, hence broke. But will that destroy this covenant and excuse man from its obligations and relieve the Lord / from the execution of his part: and thereby call for another covenant? Not in the least. The covenant stands firm, and God according to his promise in the covenant must. punish the man who breaks his part of the covenant, as it is written, For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no mope sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries, He that despised Moses' law, died without mercy under two or three witnesses; of how much sorer punish-ment shall he be thought worthy who hath trodden under foot the Son of God and counted the blood of the covenant wherewith he was sanctified an unholy thing and - hath done de-spite unto the spirit of grace? For we know him, that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompence, saith the Lord. And again the Lord shall judge his people.— Heb. 10: 26- 30. Dear sinner or backslider, do not think for a moment: that your break-ing the everlasting covenant will nullify the same, and thus call for a new one, for your sins only place you under the vengeance and judgments of this covenant. And, oh ye Mor-mons, ye Latter- day Saints, can you think for a moment that the apostasy has broken this covenant so that the righteous judgments of God through this covenant will not fall upon you? Like your mother ( the apostasy) you changed the ordinances, broke the everlasting covenant and made one of your own, alike placing yourselves under the vengeance and judgments of God's covenant. But lest these Latter- day ites deny the charge, we now quote from one of their standard works. " A VOICE OF WARNING," or an introduction to the faith and doctrine of the- church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints, published at Lamoni, Ia. Page 37. " That there was a covenant made between God and his people in the days of Christ and his apostles, we will not deny." Page 37 and 38 say, " Now I would ask the whole of Chris-tendom or any of its sects or parties, if they have apostles, prophets, evan-gelists, pastors and teachers, inspired from on high, together with the gifts and blessings of the Holy Spirit'which pertain to the gospel covenant?" This is so plain there can be no misunderstanding as to what cove-nant is meant. As it is here described as the gospel covenant made between God and his people in the days of Christ and his apostles, which con-tained the offices of apostles, proph-ets, evangelists, pastors and teach-ers with the gifts and blessings of the Holy Spirit. Page 37 says, " It therefore remains for us to prove that the covenant ( new covenant) has been broken., completely broken, so that it is not in force either among Jews or Gentiles, having lost its offices authorities, powers, and blessings, insomuch that they are nowhere to be found among men." Now we ask what are the offices of this covenant. We begin at the head of the list and find that Christ is head, Eph. 1: 20- 23, Col. 1: 18; and mediator, Heb. 9: 15, I Tim. 2 : 5; and high priest, Heb. 9: i1, I0: 21, Heb. 7: 21- 27; and advocate, 1 Ince 2: 1, Heb. 7: 25; also the office of the Holy Spirit. 1st. To convict sinners. Jno. 16: 2d. To justify believers, 1 Cor. 6: ii, and bears witness to the same. Rom. 8: 16. 3d. Sanctifies the heir ( believer or new born soul). Acts 19: 2; Rom. 15: 16, and witnesseth to the same. Heb. 1o: 14,15. 4th. Imparts the gifts. 1 Cor. 12: and Eph. 4: 8- 12. That consti-tutes certain offices, as apostles, proph-ets, evangelists, pastors and teach-ers, etc. Now if the Mormon position be correct, that " this covenant is no longer in force among Jews or Gen-tiles, having lost its offices, author-ities, powers, and blessings," Christ is no longer, head and governor, media-tor, high priest, and advocate, and the authority, power and gifts, and blessing of Christ and the Holy Spirit are lost to the human family so that that they " are nowhere to be found among men." The gospel having ceased, redemption plan de-stroyed, salvation pastthe resurrection and general judgment never to come; the gates of hell having prevailed against the church, overthrowing Christ's word, in Matt. 16: 18, with all the rest of the New Testament. This is an unavoidable conclusion of the Mormon position to which they are necessarily driven to, in order to bring in their covenant which they call " gospel" on page i. Having disposed of the new covenant we, read on page 39: " Now having settled this question I trust the reader will see the need of a new ( another) covenant in order to save the few that are not to be burned." Here is a salvation held out to the world through another covenant ( and not through the new covenant of which Jesus Christ is mediator), the Mormon covenant as revealed by Joseph Smith the dead head and pro-phet of his sect claims to save. But to the best of my knowledge all that have tried this Mormon covenant have found it unable to save men from their sins; in fact, its advocates plead for sin and fight holiness, heart purity, etc. One of the great mys-teries of this Mormon faith is this, after rejecting the new covenant with all its offices, authorities, powers and blessings, try to profess the whole of them in connection with their Mor-mon covenant, except freedom from committing sin, and blasphemously attach Christ's name to the creed name of their Sect which they confess themselves that Smith founded. On page 129, in May 1829 he ( Joseph Smith) perdicted that the church he was about to found and organize would become a great and marvelous work among the children of men. You can see the difference between the Mormon covenant and the new covenant. In the latter Jesus builds the church. Mat. 16: 18. But in the former Joseph Smith founds and or-ganizes the church. Full well he re-jected Christ's covenant in order to become head of a sect. We now quote Heb. 9: 16,17 from the Emphatic Diaglott ( Greek) . " For ( Continued on fourth page.) NOTICE.

From there to Lawndes, Mo., where in company with Brother Haynes and wife we arrived on the morning of Sept. 13. Much seed sown; Iet us pray Father that the harvest may be bountiful. While at Marquand I received a letter from one of God's little Ones stating that God had - Showed them that we were the ones to take charge of a tabernacle in the towns and cities through the South and elsewhere as God might direct, and that they had some means for the same, would I come to NV? st Plains, Mo. and see theM. Feeling this to be in answer to prayer we came on here. While enroute for this place, on arriving at Spning we found that we could get no train for here until the next morning. Enquiring of the Lord if there was anything for me to do there, it was shown to me to preach on the street; which e we did that evening to a large concourse of peo-ple, among whom was several priests of Baal. We found the town' in an uproar next morning, While we were sweet in our souls. Arrived here on Friday Sept. 21, found that Bro's Farouar and Moore had commenced a meeting in the Congregational Methodist sect house at Homeland, six miles south of this city. Began preaching there On Saturday evening. God raised up a church there. On Sunday, Sept. 30, seven followed the Master in baptism. At night there were fourteen participants in the ordinance meeting. We held the ordinance service in the sect house where wei had preached. The next Sunday they locked the brethren out of the heuse. Brother Hesselton adjourned the meeting to his house a- here the Lord wonderfully witness-ed to their consecration by an out- TI. tiring of the Holy Spirit upon them. Praise the Lord!

DEAR SAINTS OF Goo: Some timi having elapsed since I last gave an account of our leading and the worl: in hand, God has seen fit to teach us some grand lessens of patience, hu-mility and meekness, since we- came to this state. After leaving Danville, Ill. for Norwood, Mo. we - arriv ed ( Bro. Pike and myFelf) on Aug. 8 God wonderfully blessed in that meeting. - ents coneerationFl. Before the- meeting dived , however the Lord laid Hitt to go to place about eighteen or twenty mile!? south of Norwood, in what is known as the Allsup settlement. What for,, I did not know, but had a wont l t rfu: 1 blessing in consent mg to go, and al the way there. Notice having het n given that - we would preach in a cer-school house, when ye arrived there on Sunday morning to fill th e t appointment, we found about or t sixty souls there; a motley 1, soking • crowd, all kinds of spirits, ineludino! a faith healer, who charged for I his services, We NN ere alone here Brother Pike remaining at Norwond. 1 We gave them the word on repent- I t : ante and obedience to God's coin--; t mands and appointed meeting Col five o'clock that afternoon. Ther. had been a place prepared about I3. three miles east of where we Wert1 for us to begin meeting on Mond. morning, and that near that place is there was a debate going on between a Camphellite priest and one of the it Baptist denomination, over the eines- 11 Lion of which is the church. the t Campbellite or Baptist sect? encl . 11 ( m e taking the stand that the otn-er was not the church.

The last night of said meeting, between ten and eleven o'clock P. M. with Bro. Moyer and Brother and Sister Church, we took wagon, traveled all night until well up in the morning, crossed the Jordan ( in Ont.), came to the home of Brother and Sister Church, our bodies mach fatigued. We fell on our khees and sent up a petition to Father, and retired for a few hours. Awoke much refreshed and ready for service. Held two meetings in Jordan, then took train for Berlin. Found a few of God's happy saints all on the altar, but others who came out last Ma. 37, and gave- their hearts to God, went back into sectism. Babylon, was arrayed against us so that we could not get an opening. The Plymouth Brethren sect refused their hall because we preached holiness, and said they did not believe in it and could not have it preached in their synagogue. Dear ones, is this world not in a depldrable condition ? When professors claiming to be followers of tfie holy Christ for-bid his holy word to'be preached in their synagogue? We bad to resort to the home of Bro. S. S Moyer, and theimarket square in the main part of the town. But the air was keen for our weak lungs, and could not hold out many nights on the square. But the seed was planted, and we be-lie- ve fell in some good ground. On the last night we. commemorated the death of our Redeemer by washing the saints' feet, and partaking of the Lord's supper. ' This meeting we be-lieve opened up the eyes of some to the truth. Dear Bro. D. H. Moyer, made sale of some of his household goods and arranged matters to be in the harvest field of the Lord continu-ally, and is - ready to preach to the Germans in their language. His ad-dress will be Jordan, Ont. Our next move was to the assembly meeting held at the home of Bro. F. Kennedys, which was another ast to our souls by seeing dear l : ones brought home to God. INhile in prayer before our Father, we seni_ up a petition for a tabernncle for Canada, as the work of the Lord is on the advance. In a short time $ 94 was collected, and more can be got ' if needed. The last night of this ! meeting we also washed the saints' 1 feet and took of the supper. About fif Ity of the little ones were present. God bless all the dear ones for their kind-ness in providing for our needs. The Lord willing, we will open up the battite the evening of the 2o'`,. h, at Mc- Lalien's Corners, Erie Co., Pa., will hold over two Lord's days. The Lord willing, we expect to be at West Monterey, Pa. about Nov. 1st., from there to Reimer, Pa. Any desiring to write us, address West Monterey. Pa. Yours in much holy love, J. A. AND A. j.

The Lord justifies me freely and sanctifies . me wholly, and is anointing me to breach his word, and- gives me grace to - earnestly contend for the_ faith WiliCh was once delivered unto the saints." I rt alize more and more the need of God's ministers being endued __ with power from on high. Truly Satan has " great wrath" and would deceive the " very elect" if it were possible.

DEAR SAINTS; God bless you all. I can say to the glory of God, I am sweetly saved tO- the uttermost and all upon the solid rock Christ Jesus. Praise our God forever! Jesus has me in his strong arms, and all the powers of hell cannot take me out of 1 7 CARMI, Ill. To THE SAINTS OF GOD: I feel it to be in the order of God for me to write from Southern Illinois again. I am glad to say, as I have been preaching all summer in S. III., that my labors have not been in vain, for many dear souls have been saved, some sanctified, and some have seen the evils of sectism and have come out of Babylon. To God be all the glory. 0 glory he to Jesus I how I do feel the blessed Lord with me in the work. Glory to God for the light he has given me in these last days! And yet I know I have not yet received the light that others have received .; but, dear brethren, some way I have never been permitted to meet with any of the dear saints of God, only three or four of them; and I have not been blessed with the op-portunity of being at any of the camp-meetings. I prayed to be able to be at the assembly meeting at Grand Junction, but could not go; it seemed the Lord willed it otherwise. So, breth-ren and sisters, I want you to pray for me, that God may let more light on me, and pray also for the dear Lord to send workers to S. DI. I would like to work with a company of experienced workers awhile if the Lord so wills. Amen. J. D. BAUGH. I ! his - arms. Praise God! He is my physician, my Master, my King, my all and in all. I ask all the dear brethren to pray for me, and for my wife and children, that they may be plucked from the burning. This place is getting ripe for harvesting of souls for Jesus. I ask the brothers to unite with me in sending up a strong peti-tion to the Lord of the harvest, that he will send laborers here to ' gather the wheat in Father's barn. Your brother standing firm by the power of God, D. P. KIMMEL. PENDELL— Died in Emerson, Mich., Bro. Moses L. Pendell.

Early last spring he wanted the saints to have a prayer meeting with him once a week, and as we would come together to sing the praises of God and read the pre-cious Word, the glory of God would fill the room, The dear brother was faithful till the last. He leaves a companion and five children, May God save the children and ever keep the dear sister faithful until death. Funeral service by C. E. REEVES.

DEAR SAINTS OF GOD: I am prais-ing the Lord for his goodness to me. I believe it will be to the glory of God for me to give a report of his dealings with me. The Lord saved my soul four years ago last Septem-ber, and sanctified me when I placed all on the altar, and he has kept me saved by me keeping my covenant, and trusting him to do his part. 0 praise the Lord! he is faithful to keep that which I have committed unto him. I find joy, peace, and hap-piness in the service of my Savior. While here at camp meeting last June, the Lord opened the way for me to go in company with Bro. Dil-lon into the work. The Lord blessed my soul in working for him, and in ceeinfz souls saved from their sins in the meetings. From Deerfield I came to Beaver Dam camp meeting. where the Lord gave us a very prec-ious meeting. From their I went west of Rochester to the tabernacle meeting. After the meeting closed I stayed there and labored with my hands until Oct. 2d, when I came to Lapaz, Ind. There I heard of Henry Sharpnack being among the saints. I wish to warn all the saints against receiving him as a minister of God. He consecrated at the camp meeting last June a year ago, and did not professs to be saved after he left the meeting, but has been indulging in his old habit of drinking. He sold a mortgaged horse, and left this state and went to Indiana, and-- there he borrowed money ifrom the saints, telling them that he wanted to move his family down there. His wife has refused to follow him any farther, because of his ill treatment of her. He preached two funeral sermons at LaPaz, Ind., before I got there. I write this so that he may not deceive others that are not acquainted with him. He left LaPaz Oct. 3, or there about. and has not been heard of since as far as I can learn. I am truly thankful for the privilege of at-tending the assembly meeting here, and for the precious lessons received, and feel better prepared to work for the Lord than ever before. I praise the Lord for the victory I have in my sodl over all the works of the devil. I realize I am saved just now, and kept ( Continzted from first page.) where a covenant exists, the death of that which has ratified it is necessary to be produced; because a covenant is firm over dead victims since it is never valid when that which ratifies it is alive." Here it is declared- that death alone can ratify or make a covenant of force. and thus Christ ratified his covenant, but as he that is raised from the dead dieth no more, death bath no more dominion over him. See Rom. 6: 9. It is impossible for . Christ to ever ratify another cov-enant since his resurrection. There-fore all covenants invented since that time, Smith's included, stands unrati-fied and of no force at all respecting salvation; and Mormons themselves will wake up at the judgment day to find that the covenant they have been living by is a dead letter of man's invention, and all men since Christ will be be judged by Jesus Christ ac-cording to the new covenant. See Rom. 2: 1 6. 2 Tim. 4: 1, 2. Acts 17: 31. Jno. 12: 48. Oh ye sons of anti- christ, how long will ye pervert the right ways of the Lord, and reject Christ in his everlasting covenant, with its offices, powers, and blessings, and teach men so to do, in order that you may lift up a covenant of your own that will only delude souls and make them " vessels of wrath fitted for de-struction." All those who willfully and maliciously slander the cause of holiness by calling the holy people Mormons, will according to the new covenant, have their part with all liars, in that lake which burneth with fire and brimstone; which is the second death. See Rev. 21: 8. Oh flee from your anti- christ covenant of deception and accept Christ's covenant, and be saved from sin. Amen. GEO. L. COLE. DECEPTIONS IN SECTISM, M HEN the high priest rose up and a' all they that were with him, which is the sect of the sadducees, and were filled with indignation and laid their hands on the apostles, and put them in the common prison. Acts 5: 17, 18. The above scriptures are a fair example of the sect priests and, their followers of the present time, who are being deceived by Satan and are lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God; who are given over to pride, fashion, and the vani-ties of the world, and have turned a deaf ear to the truth, and are seek-ing for worldly honor, and praise of men. If the laws of our land did not protect them, the children of God would be imprisoned for advocating the truth. Oh the spiritual darkness that is abroad in the land to day! It is aw-ful to see the great mass of people, turning away from the truth, and seeking for fables. Men who know they are fast passing from time to eternity, and who know they must soon appear before the judge of the quick and dead; to see them running after fashionable preachers, despis-ing the doctrine of holiness and heart purity, but seeking a doctrine that is very liberal in its views, and that will justify him in many of his carnal pleasures, and lusts of the flesh, one that teaches an easy way to heaven and saves him in his sins! Oh it is awful to see men who seem to be intelligent, choose the counter-feit, and reject the genuine, rather than give up their carnal pleasures that are leading them to destruction. How well this scripture suits their case! That men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. A man says to me, I have as good a right to my belief, as you have to yours. I say, Friend, that depends altogether upon circumstances. If you lay aside all prejudice, malice, ill will, and get down humble before God, as a little child, earnestly plead-ing with God to give you the true light on his word, and be as willing to learn as a little child, then if God reveals any thing to you, you not on-ly have a right to believe it, but you must believe it in order to remain a faithful child of God. Otherwise, if prejudice exists, or if there be malice envy, jealousy or any thing of that kind it will make a great difference in what a man claims to believe. Many will not receive the truth be-cause it does not agree with their peculiar notions, or _ because it would condemn them in their evil habits, and conflict with many of their world-ly pleasures; also because it would destroy carnality, and stand between them- and some pet idols which they are loath to give up. Perhaps it is - he sect or tobacco, festivals, box suppers, play parties, fine clothes, riches, foolish talking, card playing, pride, self esteem, or some of the multitude of
