If the into His love. The other night He blest me, so wonderfully that I could but sing, and praise God. 0 how He showed rue His great love toward all mankind and His freely offered mercy to all who will . ieceive• Him. Bro. NV arner was here a short time ago, and I was glad to see but his stay was so short, that it made me feel bad to have him leave so soon. I wished he could stay and preach the true Gospel a week.- I hope the Lord will send some one here that can talk some in the G- er- Man. The Lord has a good many child-ren here, smile in sects, and some out. Praise God ! I am standing free from sects. How I wish that God would tear down all the sect walls they are only a curse to the work of God, and I _ know the Lord will destroy them. I hope the Lord will open the way for- me to come to some of your holiness• meetings. I hope God will help me to have faith for my healiag. Bro. Warner left a book, on the Second Work of Grace here, which is a great blessing to my soul to read. The Lord bless you all. I am kept by the power of God, saved to the uttermost. Jelin Brodbeck. Welt you are badly cheated of the devil. If you know it, your bell sounds disgusting in the ears of God, and His saved ones. Paul says, " Ye are yet carnal, whereas there are divisions among you." " Ye are yet carnal and walk as men," and not as the sons of God. When God's Word pos-itively forbids sects and schisms, and says that they are the fruits of carnality, you cannot be wholly sanctified, and yet be sectish. - For- entire sanctification takes all the carnality out of us, and destroys all its - fruit. Praise the Lord forever ! When men " hear a voice from heaven saying, Come out of her my people, that ye be not partaker of her sins, nor receive of her plagues." That command must be obeyed or we forget our sanctification, ' yea, and our justification also. This is clear truth ' to the spiritual mind. Q the rediculous idea of a lot of sectarie maize& sinners, some hypocrites, a lot of dead professers, and backsliders, organ-. ized together, and bound up in a bundle by their own creed, and call it a church. May God save the people from such pits of delusion, and bring to naught old bab-ylon._ Glory to Jesus ! He is doing it all over the land. She is shaking and tremb-liug for fear of her loss. The saints are " fleeing out of the midst of babylon," and " returning to Zion, with songs of everlast-ing joy upon their heads" Blow ye the TRUMPET 011 the walls of Zion, then the saints that have been in captivity se long will hear the sound thereof and will return to Zion, the holy City, the heavenly Jeru-salem, and Church of the First- born, that are written in heaven. Glory to God in - the highest! Amen! " Babylon is like a threshing- floor, and it is time to thresh her." " God hath judged the great whore which siteth upon many waters." " She is now being consumed. by the Spirit of BOARDS OF AN ICE- HOUSE, soINCE coming to southern Ind. we have had the pleasure of reading the old Church Advocate.

" The Board _ of Education, having, by Order of the Court of ( r0Ve1• e• Felix, been - constituted a part of the Board of Incorporation of the General Eldership, is hereby notified to meet at Jerusalem, June 16, A. D. 60." Would not that be a strange looking affair in the annals of the real Church of Ged ? What provision has the Head of 1110 Church made for the special education of its ministers? This we lied recorded, that Jesus Christ our Redeemer, having died for our sins, arose from the dead, and as-cended to the right hand of the Father, obtained an order from the ' Court of Heaven, whereby He bath sent forth the Holy Spirit; the Comforter, " TO the in-tent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places Might be kilo- van by the Church, the inaifold wiedom of God."

A good sized congregation was assembled, and tl. e Spirit Of the Lord was at, work. Two souls professed conversion. We re-joiced to find some clear souls there, strip-ped from time world, and blessed with the true light of holiness. We met several that used to worship With us in that city. Praise God for His mercies and blessings toward us all! _ How wonderful and unexpected His dealings with our souls! 0 bless time Lord forever. We look back with aston-ishment, at the grace and goodness of God that enabled us, in this city, without means, without credit, without friends, to step folly out of all bands and canoes, and publish the glorious Gospel of God's present truth, in the lace of the opposi-tion of the devil, and the world, the beast and all the false . prophets, Gog and : Ma-gog, BabylOn and Egypt, Sodom' and Go-moialt. 0- praise the Living Nod, we only . endtged as seeing Him that is in- Daniel. THE GLORIOUS BANGOR CAMP is with great joy, and humble grate- ' hide to God that we are able to report to the saints of God scattered abroad the most blessed and fruitful camp meeting we ever attended. 0 praise the God of might and power, and salvation to_ the uttermost. A glorious host of from two to - three hundred holy saints were in attendance. There were 19 tents on the ground. There was almost a perpetual flow of praises to God going up, except in the hours ( Asleep. Such glorious music we never heard bet lire in our From the fact we i ever heard as many Jowl voices, singing all, parts, and all singing in the Spirit of God. Many of the hymns were new, and ex-pressing the advance and present light of God's truth and glorious salvation. The music was heavenly, being Mostly newly given by the Spirit of God, through Bro. and sister Fisher, and our dear Bro. Jet-- frey. The preaching was in simplicity, and in the demonstration of the power of the Spirit. Much of the Word of God was read and quoted to the people. Which the Spirit of God made quick and powerful in the hearts of the hearer. There were four services per day, and except in the early prayer services, the altar was pre-sented in every service, and . nearly every time quite, or entirely filled, and we do not know of an instance where the seekers had to return again seeking the same blessing from God. Always the seekers became witnesses before the service closed. The work was deep and thorough, We lookback now with wonder at the shallow-ness of the inter sect holiness work ‘ vith which wensed to be connected, seat- cely any thinglike the thoronyji breaking- up and searching consecration We now see. Praise God for the fire that, tests to the bottom of the heart, and consume:: all the dross. Between nearly every service the Elders were called to lay on hands and Dray fur tiny visible."

God showed favor to::,': them, in instantly healing their dear sae from a severe al i ack RAISE GOD! our trip to Odon Davis Co. Ind. witnessed another victory by our King Emanuel. Friday' June 5th Bro. J. M. Aleshouse met its at Switz City, and conveyed us to his place about 16 miles. As we passed through the village of Odon, near by which the Bro. lives, we notified the people that we would preach the Gospel on their streets the next after-noon. Not being accustomed to such sevices there was quite an interest. The people began to collect some time before the time arrived. Store- boxes, sidewalks etc. were converted into pews; and we had one of the best hearings we ever had on the streets. God mightily helped us by His Spirit, to testify the Gospel of His perfect salvation, for an hour and thirty eight minutes. Bless God! the truth swept all the sinnership religion in-to the pit, from whence it came. Though real Bible holiness had scarcely ever been preached in that, place, and no holi-ness meetings ever been held there, so far as we learned, every hearer, even lawyers, doctors, and preachers acknowl-edged the practicability ( If perfect salva-tion and preservation from all sin, through Christ Jesus. A baptist preacher by the name of Warinner, who had been preach-ing to the people that no one can or does live NI ithout sinning in this world, and that all men sinned day and night, sat close by us, was covinced of the truth of the Gospel, and convicted of his sins. lie sanctioned the Word, and acknowledged to others that it was all . truth. We saw the tears in his eyes, and hoped. he would become saved, and qualified to preach for Jesus, instead of for sin and the sect. Sabbath, the 7th, we held services in a grove near old. Shiloh bethel, 24- miles south of Odon. As the appoitmeut was only circulated after our arrival,. there was not a large turn- out. The Baptist preacher sat near us Avhile preaching in the forenoon. and looking into his face during the discourse. our soul was pained to see that, he had shut his heart against the truth and salvation of God. Instead of coining down to an equality with Christ,. he chose to have a reputation among men, to indulge the lusts of the flesh, and enj oy the friendship of the world. From that moment his " face gath-ered blackness." During the afternoon preaching he showed every disposition to avoid listening to the Gospel of God. He came to some of the meetings after-ward, just as the ungodl y pharisees fol-lowed. Christ, to " catch something out of His mouth." On * Wednesday evening, June Id, Bro. 0. Allen met and spoke to this priest of bital, standing in a public place of the village, burning inscense to the devil, in gratification of the filthy lust for tobacco. It is, however, not from this circumstance that we say to the children of God in those parts, that the man is without salvation, and his pretention to preach is by inspiration of the . flesh, and for his own glory. " From such turn away," " go not after them" nor bid them God- speed by your presence:- With this reproof; we also ask this 1111111 ) 6 pardon for net doing our whole duty in delivering the same to his face. The last time he vooated the doctrine Of holiness, he said, was present in the meeting, being Friday! " that's the doctrine Of the Bible.'" But Light, OUT soul was much burdened with when he heard it- preqa: ed I ► tsimply a$ a Dear Bre. Aleshouse, Whom the Lord led to send for us, was much blest during our stay there; he is walking near the Lord. May the Lord stabiisb his soul preacher oh the circuit there; he had been a disbeliever in entire sanctification, - and the dear brother has greatly undermined his mentle energies, by the use of tobacco and coffee, and other excesses created , by these cursed stimulants. But thank God the dear brother had an honest and open heart for the truth, confessed his error and consecrated for entire sanctification but not having reached- the perfect aban-donment to God, he did not get fullyeinto the land, but trust he will soon taste- its heavenly fruit. God bless him and fam-ily. Dear Bro. Oliver Allen was a liscensed exhorter in the Winebrenarian sect. In the kind providence of God, he had re-ceived the light of . entire sanctification several years ago, and has been at times pressing largely into the land, gaining some of its borders; but not knowing how to hold the ground. Praise Godt he died out, settled down on the Rock, renounced the sect relation, and got a fresh lisce nue " hail and miogled with blood," anti speedily fill clear sister Allen with all the fullness of God. Bro. and Sister Moore and others took their stand on the side of holiness, some in the experience, others seeking; they would like if we could have remained longer, doubtless much more could have been clone the second week the first, but we are now " running to and fro," " flying in the midst of heaven hav-ing the everlasting Gospel to preach to them that dwell upon the earth, saying fear God; and give glory to Him for the hour of His judgement is at hand." Yes, the Lord is coming, and God is swiftly spreading the light of perfect salvation, that all men may be prepared to stand in the day of judgement, or to fall_ into per-dition with no excuse. On Wednesday night we preached to a full house in the M. E. Steeple house in Odon. - Some of that sect having heard us preach on the streets, sent an ivitation for us to preach there. The pastor was present; and listened to the glorious Gos pel of complete salvation with as much interest as a marble stature would maui-fest. Before our arrival he asked what we preached; and being told _ that- we ad- voice of an archangel, and Withili umnp coin-fort. one another with these words;. ao e'er.

What will these poor hahyloniats do THE EXPERIENCE OF. SISTER IDA SHAT-PER WHILE IN TRANCE, AT THE BAN-GOR CAMP MEETING. —: o:— N the morning of June 27, ' 85. Sister Ida with several others proceeded from the Camp ground, to the river to be baptized. While the company of saints were at the river, the most glorious scene occured, The Hol y Ghost was poured out upon them, e:-. pecialy upon those who were baptized, insomuch that. many were overwhelmed, and prostrated, by the mighty power. We now give the reader the experience of Sister Ida in her own words. " As I went down into the water, of God. 1 Thes. 4: 16. Whereto Tg the. holing 01 8" eted saints.

The brother talks as though the ' great ? dim her of seetc already organized, makes it •: no harm to orramize another." great Mistake. The multiplication . Of_ cannot justify sin no more can the great number of sects justify the organization of another. " There should be no schisms in the body," is God's voice of thunder against all humanly organized fatcions; whether they be few or many. The _ brother proposes that. the new organization should be strictly on Bibb' principles. Well if it be strictly en Bible principles, then it must also contain tho Bible principle of organization; and that is an organization by the hand of - God Himself, through. the Spirit. So when we come to an organization on Bible principles,- we have to keep hands off of it, and " God must set the members every one of them in the body as it pleases Him." There can only be one organiza-tion on Bible principles, and that is the Bible organization " The body of Christ." The brother says he does not know of such an organization.

The stress, how-ever, is usually p ut upeom the following quivalent to saythe, there is flat an generate person in the Church, So We can determine the spiritual statues Of th6 Church by tire subjects of the kingdotn. This, we are not lertto guess at, for Je-sus said in this parable, " the good seed are the children ( subjects) of thekitt dom." " The tares ( bad seed) are children of the Ricked one," neither sub-jects of the kingdom nor members of time Ch Now we Are prepared to understand. the meaning of that important phrase in the Savior's explanation, -" the field is the world." The sense is involved in the word world, and upon it turns the central idea of the whole parable. But : viewing the kingdom and Church as human invert- [ ions has involved the word in much con-fusion. Hence Many have interpreted the parable upon the assumption that the word world means the church. But let us see : The word here is kosmos,— Ar-rangement, beautiful system, world. It is the stage upon which the sense is en-acted, it is not the church but a field. this field, the world, the earth, there are two forces in action, in conflict, the good and the bad, the children of the wicket?, one, and the children of the kingdom the tares and the wheat. Here these two ele-ments grow( exist) together not in eee/ e_ Sia— Church— but in kosmo4— L'world. If the phrase should read, " the field is the church," then the Holy Ghost made a mistake in the use or His words, for Imo sort nor any number of arguments can aa Eui birds.
