| Summary: | Gospel Trumpet 1881-June 3, 1962, Vital Christianity June 10, 1962-Sept. 1996, One Voice June/July 2004-Apr/May 2007 We are once more obliged to call the at-tention of our readers to the fact that Ate. LETTERS not personal: that is, all letters containing business matter for TistiSie ET, Slosrau addressed to GOSPEL TRUM-pa to insure prompt attention, and NOT to b. S. Warner, J. C. Fisher, or Sebas-tian gichels; for they are out in the field nearly all the time, and many times letters are Forwarded unopened : thus if they con-tain busbies matter, it is delayed, and souietimes forgotten. Also Ftroo NAME and POST OFFICE ad-dress must be given. For instance, one writes and signs his name Henry, another Jahn-, etc. Now we have many Henries sad Johns on the book, and many times three or four at the same place, and how are we to tell which Henry, or which John is writing? Answer. By giving your full one. Also, when the business is Ler- Wiling to the TRUMPET, you must give the same to which the paper is sent. For in-stance, the paper is sent to a man he • be-ing busy, his wife writes, and signs her own name : we are unable to find her name at that place. although the same mune may beat a neighboring Office. This causes trouble, and many mistakes. Also you must give POST OFFICE and STATE. For instance, one writes from La-favette; but fails to tell what State. How are we to tell what State, as nearly every State has a Post Office named Lafayette ? Others write, giving the name of County, or Township in which they live, but fail to give their Post Office. It is the POST OFFICE and STATE that we want to know. Now the people must observe this notice, or we are not responsible if your orders are not filled, or for mistakes in credits. By observing these rules, you will save us a great deal of precious tune and expense, which is much needed in other ways. May the Lord bless you all is our prayer. J. A. Spaulding.

Your Bre. in Christ. THE TWO WOMEN. HE Revelation represents two women, one is the true Church of God, the Lamb's. Wife the other is all the sect de-nominations which call themselves church-es, she is called by the Word of God, Mys-tery, Babylon the great. The true Church of God - is the Lamb's Wife; and she is a pure woman, who is clothed with the glory of the Sun. She is made up of the redeemed of the Lard; and She is a glorious Church, . not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing but she is holy and without blemish. All that are in her are members of Christ's Body, of His flesh, and of His bones. For this cause a man- shall forsake all, anti the Lord shall add him to the Church, and Christ and the Church though twain shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery, but, it is according to the Word of God. So We, being many, are one body in Christ. and God bath set‘ us in the Church as it hath pleased Him, and He adds to it daily such as are being saved. Oh praise the Lord! for such a glorious Church. Pollee ye the Lord : for the Lord God Omnipo-tent reigneth. Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to Him : for the marriage of the Lamb is come. and His Wife bath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white; for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. There is another woman in the world which has a name written upon. her fore-. head, which is this, Mystery, Babylon the great, The mother of harlots, and aboini- II root of all evil." Then it is evident : that they , have the rootof- allevil in them. The preceding has- been the description of two women; one is the Church olChrist; the other is sect babylon. Which one do you want to be a part off Choose ye this day whom ye will serve. May God help you to keep clear from loahylon, and if you have already- been ensnared into her, as a great many honest people have, you should listen to the voice of God which says, " Come out of Iter,- my people, that ye be not partakers of tier sins, and that ye receive not of her : plagues. For her sins have reached unto Heaven, and God Math remembered her . iniquities."- Rev. 4, 5. . Againdle. says, " Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers." " Come out from among - them, pith . the Lord, and touch not the uneleanthin g • and I will receive you, and will be a Father. unto you, and ye shall be my. sons and daugh-ters, saith the Lord Almighty."- 2 Cosh' 6: 14, 17, 18. I will give you a few rules to distin-guish these two women, or the true Church of Christ, from the sects which constitute Mystery, Babylon the „ great. It will be well for the reader to consider these rules, and see if they tire not according to the Word of God. ( Rule 1st.) The true Church has Christ. for its Head, " and He is the Head of the Body, the Church whois the beginning-, the First- born from the dead that in all thinga He -, night have - the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in Him „ should ail fulness dwell,"- Col. 1: 18, 19. " Christ is the Head of the Church : and re •* And ire shall send His angel, with a great sound of a Trumpet, nod they shall gather together Ins elect from the four winds, ( in one end of heav- 1 to the other. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; when his branch is yet tender, anti putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh. So likewise re, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near. even at the doors."- Matt. 24: 51- 55. commandments of men. For laying aside the commandments of God. ye hold to the tradition of men. Ye reject the command-ments of God that ye may keep your own tradition."- Mark 7: 7- 9, - ( 6) The true Church is composed only of the redeemed, and no sinner can get into it until he is cleansed by the blood of Christ, for it is walled up by the walls of salvation. Thou ahalt call thy walls sal-vation, and thy gates praise.- Isa. 60:- 18. " Salvation will God appoint for walls and bulwarks."-- Isa. 26: 1. And they shall tall them the " holy people, the redeemed of the Lord."- Isa.- 62: 12. According as He hath chosen - us in th in before the foundation - of the world, that we : should be holy, and without blaine before Him in love.- eEph. 1: 4. While on the other hand, sect babylon basbeemne the habita-tion of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. All kinds of sinners are in hest, and they cannot cease from sinning. More- than half the woridlings in this country are members of sect babylon. ( 7) The true Church is bound togeth-er by love.' While sect babylon is not united, but they are divided, and - each sect halds to their own creed and class book. ' Every kingdom divided against- itself is brought to desolation and every city, or house divided against itself shall not stand.- Matt. 12: 25. - Babylon is fallen, is fatten, that ' great city, because she made all nations drink of the * Me of the wrath of her fornication."- Rev. 14: 8. 0 how I praise God for saving me out of babylon. and for placing me in the true Church of God. E. G. Wickersham, PRAY WITHOUT CEASING RO. H. C. Key writes us of a dispu-tation he had with some Milkers. They contend a woman must wear a cover-ing, or cap, citing this Scripture, " Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered dishonoreth his head hut every woman. that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered, dishonoreth her head." To which Bro. Henry very aptly replied, " If - that proves that a woman must not pray- without t cap on her head, it also proves that a man must go bare- headed al-ways. The Scriptures enjoin that " men pray , always," and " pray. without ceas-ing." Now if he must never pray with his heed covered, and yet must pray with-out ceasing, he must always go bare- beaded. -' Well said, Bro. Henry, I hope you will pray always, cover or no cover.

As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the fernier lusts in your ignorance, but as He which bath called you is holy, so he ye holy in all manner of conversation. Be-cause it is written, be ye holy for I am holy. And if ye call on the • Father, who without respect of persons judgeth accord-ing to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear : tor ss much as ye know that ye were not redeemed With corruptible things, as silver and gold. from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blond of Christ, as of a Lamb without blemish and without spot. Be y., e therefore follov. ers of God as dear child-rem and walk in love, as Christ hath loved us, and hath given Himself for us, an of-fering and a sacrifice to • God for a sweet smelling savour_ But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you as becometh saints. Neither bithinesselor foolish talk-ing, nor jesting, which are not convenient, ( consistent) but rather giving of thanks. For the time passed of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gen-tiles." For the time is conic that judg-ment must begin at the house of God, and it' it first begin at us, what shall the end be of then that obey not the Gospel of God ? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear." 0 may we all be just. what God would have us beeramingeom• lives by His," who did no sin, neither was guile found in His niooth, and has left us an example that we should follow in His steps." Oh bow Many professed christians indulge in light conversation. „ For our conversation is in Heaven; from whence also we look for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ : who shall change our vile body, that it nay be fash-ioned like unto His glorious body, accord-ing to the working whereby he is able ev-en to subdue all things unto Himself.- Phil. 3: 20, 21. Let your conversation be as it becometh the Gospel of Christ.--- Phi 1: 27. " Therefore, my brethren, dearly '.-, eloved and longed foreny joy and crown, so stand last in the Lord. Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice. Let your conversation he known unto all men, the Lord is at hand.' Be careful for noth-ing, but in every thing by prayer and sup-plication with thanksgiving let your re- ( rests be made know,, unto God, who giveth to all nice liberally and npbraideth not." We, as God's children, must have our lives eotrespond with the Wert of God, and be examples for the youn! •. Paul to Tim., " Let HO Mail despise thy youth, but. be I lion an example of the believers, in word, it: eenversat ion, in charity, in spirit, in faith. in purity:" Jests says, . " Every idle word that man shall speak, they shall give an account thereof in the day ofjudg-ment." For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned," - Paul to Titus, " In all things , showing thyself a pattern of good works, in doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity, sound speech that cannot be condemned, that. he that is of a contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you. For the grace of God that. bringeth salvation bath. appeared to all men, teach-ing us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, right-enusly, and godly in this present world." " For the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in the which the Heav-ens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, and the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. See-ing then that all these things shall he dis-solved, what manner of person ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godlh-ness. Looking for and hastening unto the day of Ged, wherein the Heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements With fervent heat."

It has not been an uncertain sound we have heard. have been saved and sanctified over 21. years, but have worn the galling sect yoke until it has taken my head off, and tan dead indeed unto all sects.

Brooks was giving me a report from the Fall Conference dwelling largely on one brother's failing to obey discipline,. in be-ing 3ubjec1. Jo the powers that be. I said, in reply, Bro. Brooks, such works as that make me feel like taking my name off the sect book. The sect I belonged to, ( Wes-leyan Methodist) professes to believe in holiness, but for years, A hen giving testi-mony of the saving power of Jesus' blood, I have been responded to in such a sar-castic, critical way, that I almost lost the ace by failing to give straight testimony. 0 ' how I groaned for deliverance, being burdened, but did not know how to get free, though long since my sect has been no more to me than any other, and I have taken the saved ones in the various sects or my brethren and sisters, and have of-tea decided to come out wholly on the . hora's side and now I thank God that He has sent Bro. Hauer here to preach the straight Word to us, so I need not he alone. Truly the Lord has given that young Bro. a wenderful illumination on the Scrip-tures, . and he is a flaming sword , in the hands of God wherever he goes. But one thing beloveds, let us not in-lialge in a sarcastic, sneering manner when dealing with the seets, let us hold them ( the members) up to the throne of grace by prayer and faith. Let us keep the sweet Spirit of Jesus, far We will only repel, instead of winning, by a sarcastic manner. Your sister in Christ. L. T. McKunc.• —: o:— EDGEWOOD MICH.

They would like to have you write an ar-ticle on the subject of baptism. The anti-ordinance teachers make- it a condition of salvation, and say if we are saved we will walk in their light. This Quaker heresy has caused much division, and about ruined I he Good Way. Some of the evangelists of Mo. have ' gone off with this false doc-trine. ' Having loosed - from the Rock of Cod's Word, they do not stop at rejecting the ordinances of Christ, but some teach that there is no . hell, others,- that there is no _ Heaven, and say it is - only an experi-ence, and they are running into many other heresies. In direct opposition to the Word of God, they say that Christ instituted no ordin ances, and that the Apostles tadght and practiced them through ignorance, etc. And that these ordinances are the tap root sectism. Their bands, in a great many places, are torn to pieces by their many divisions, on account of . which, some of them are becoming discouraged. J. W. Coughlan has turned a good many against you.

I would like to give you, and all the TRUMPET readers my experience on my Heavenly way. I am now sixtY- six years old, and commenced my Christian warfme when abdut twenty- one years of age, and was immersed. I joined the DisCiples, as I believed them to take the New Testa-ment, and that only for their faith and practice. I got along with them till I came to Mark 16 : 17, 18. I- expected to see those signs with theDisciples of Christ; but alas! those signs were not to be found there. aio I left there and came to Mich., still looking for those believers that Jesus spake of, and found none notwithstand-ing the people seemed to enjoy the Holy Ghost. But there was something lacking. the signs of Jesus were not there. At length the Holy Ghost came down from Heaven and filled, my soul` to such a ful-ness that I began to enjoy Christ's sgving power. Hallelujah! My faith got stron-ger and stronger, and I longed to be with the pure in heart, trusting in God and not. man. About that time the , light burst forth into my heart and showed Io me that there is a people in these days that, have those signs following them. I sold anti moved to Isabella Co., and spent some oversa year there with the Disciple brethren, thinking surely the signs of be-lievers in Christ would be there. But right to the reverse : they said they were for the apostles, and not for us. I could not prevail on them to believe the truth, so I left them and came to Gratiot Co. where I now re-side, and while here I heard of the saints. There I met with those whom I had so long been looking for. They have the signs following them. Praise the Lordl He is working in the hearts of the- little ones. 0 what joy I I can say as Peter, James, and John, in the mount, " It is good to be here." Praise the Lord! I am sat-isfied that the saints are the ' people of God, and God is with them, working signs and wonders in the name of Christ, Glory to God in the hightest I I am saved by the blood of Christ. Amen!

My son- in- law died last March, and before his death he called me to his bed- side; I pointed him to the Lamb of God, who was ready to receive a poor sin-sick soul. In a few days he passed away, • requesting - me to point his wife to the same Savior who had so mercifully saved him. I did, and she too has found the Savior. Glory be to God for His loving kindness to me. I know Jesus loves and saves me from all sin. I am all the Lord's, soul and body, washed and cleansed in His blood. Your Brother, S. B.

The power of God present to convict sinners, and melt stony hearts, is the normal state of God's Church. Saturday, Nov. 27, dear Bro. Howard came in withhis team and took our little company out to his place, and that night we had a glorious meeting in the school-house. The next night at Bro. Howard's, many saints met in the Spirit. One soul converted, others seeking. That nightwe had access to the school- house again, which was crowded, the sect devil : being - there in force as well as a host of saints. God gave us power over all the power of the adversary, and liberty in pouring out the vials of His wrath and indignation upon the worshipers of the beast, aud his image. Many sinners were deeply convicted, three came to the altar. Two of whom were gloriously blessed and: saved. One was a member of a sect and also of a secret so-ciety; when she promised to leave- all to follow Jesus, the fire from Iltaven came instantly into her heart; and, like the man healed at the beautiful gate of the temple, she sprang up, leaped and shouted the praises of God. Dear Bro. J. N. Howard has been stand-ing firm for God in that place. . As God said to Jeremiah, " Beheld I have put my Words into thy mouth. See-, I have set thee this day over the nations, and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw do wn; to build - and te. - Thou therefore gird up thy loins, and arise, and speak unto them all that I com-mand thee: be notdismayed at their faces lest I eonfound thee before them. For behold, IThavd made thee this day a : ate fenced city, and an iron pillar, and brazen walls against the whole land; Against the kings'of Judah, against the princes thereof, against the priests thereof, and against the people of the land. And they shall light against thee : but they shall not prevail against thee for I am with thee, saith the: Lord to deliver thee".- Jer. 1: 9, 10,17- 19. - So the grace of God in this dear brother has enabled him to make havoc upon the vile cages of deception, and unsheathe the powerful two- edged Sword of the Lord against thopriefts of baal, and all the de-ceived, subverted, sinning sectarians. And truly they of gog and magog have fought . against the brother,
