DEAR BRETHREN OP THE TauarnEr— Praise God! we are still onprayingground, saved by the blood of Christ, and out of prison. We were only shut upfive days for Christ's sake. Praise the Lord! it only fixed us more firm on the Rock, Christ Jesus. When we were put in, the sheriff' told us that we had to stay 35 days. Glory to Jesus! we were perfectly willing to suffer it joyfully, through Christ Jesus. The Constable and Esquire came down to the jail to see us. They told us that if we would never go about them, ( The religious idolaters who had been disturbed by the testimony we suppae— Ed.) they would throw their fees off, and let us out. We told them that we would promise nothing but to obey Gothand be led by His Spirit-. I praise God that we have His . Spirit to lead us. The Lord is our only class- lead-er, Shepherd, and Bishop. The sects have a meeting in our neigh-borhood, and they have given strict orders that no one should be allowed to say any thing against their babel. Glory to God in the highest! There is lie- thing there for me. I am saved from all the works of the devil, and God has bruised'satan un-der my feet. The sects tall us the" come- ° titers." But we are abiding in Christ; while they have gone out of the true Church of God, and have hewn out to themselves broken cisterns which can hold noFirrvoaitnery.— ouJrubdre l i, 19. Christ, saved and sanctified. Samuel & John 11am sey. DusavrizE, Mica. I am trusting inAhe Lord. Hallelujah to God and the Lamb forever! My heart is filled with praises to God. We - have meetings every Tuesday night. There is only five of us here, but God is with us in power. Glory to God ! I. do enjoy a full and free salvation. I am. saved just now. Glory ! glory !! to God! I am under the blood, and wholly sanctified. Your sister, redeemed. - Mary A, Smith. S. L.

For eight years I held license from the U. B. sect, and past all examinations required by them. But by diligent searching of tile Word, I learned that they taught ma-ny errors, and left things undone that ought to be obeyed in the order ' of God's plan. Seeing they, with many otherS, were helping to honor the pope by following the beast he has set up, I severed my con-nection and fellowship with them, " and calne out of her," and " cast out the bond woman and her son which is Agar," and claimed to be full heir with the sou of the free, and let my soul enjoy itself in fatness.

Dear Brethren and Sisters and Friends:— I do praise my God for pure salvation! My dear breth-ren and sisters in the Lord, when I heard the mighty power of God preached, the Spirit began to work with me. and showed me such strong visions that there was something more for me to do. I had be-longed to the sect about three or four years : I was justified, but not sanctified. So when Bro. Fisher came to Red Lion and preached sanctification, I be-gan to examine my Bible; and I found we had to become pure even as He is pure. And I made a death bed consecration to God, promising Him to give up all to Him, mad be led by Him. And when I did this God gloriously sanctified my soul, and set me free, giving me great power to testify for Him. Well I still had my name on the Methodist sect book, and Bro. Fisher said, " You had better get your name out of it." Well I thought it would be all right if I would still leave it in. I thought I could get along after promising God to give up ev-ery thing; so I let it go. For some time it would come to my mind there was something I had left undone. 1 began to lose my power. I said to my wife that I seemed to be getting weaker, and it came to my mind when I consecrated myself to the Lord I would give up all to Him, and be free. And He showed me that I was not free when I had my name on the sect book. Praise God! I got the pen and ink, and left it to God, mid said I would write as the Spirit moved me. I wrote to have my name taken from the sect book; and since that have received more of the Holy Ghost in my soul than ever. It is like a well of living water constantly flowing out of my soul. Some will say, I don't see what harm your name will be on a class book. Does not the Lord say " Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers" ? Some will say there are no unbelievers in the church ( or sect). Praise God! we know there are none in the true Church, which is Jesus Christ. Some say we do not understand it in that way. God says the wicked shall not understand; but the wise shall un-derstand, and they shall shine as the firmament for-ever and ever. Praise God for the glorious light!

Dear Bret/ brew— We do praise aod for the wonderful latter rain that is filling the whole earth. 0 that every watchman • FArrn:— We greet you again in the name of Jesus. Oh ever precious Savior He saves me to . the utter-most, and preserves me blameless. My experience since the Assembly at Geneva, has been truly won-derful. During my short stay at this meeting, I was given clearer conceptions of the divine will con-cerning me, and felt that I was nearing the point of faith where I should be made whole. On the morn-ing of Sept. 26, while alone in prayer, I was eRgulfed in a wonderful flood of healing glory, and received a most satisfactory evidence that the work was done. Oh how wonderful that such glory and power can be experienced here below. Oh praise our Omnipo-tent God, who healeth ALL our diseases, as well as forgiveth all our iniquities. Oh I am lost, so com-pletely lost to all but God; lost in wonder, love and praise. Just one week later I was again afflicted in anoth-er Iona. And the Spirit sweetly whispered, " Is there Y persecuting, abusing and excom-municating each- other, the churches do cruel injustice to their common Lord, and followers. They contract His King-dom and His power they lower Him from His kingly throne to the head- ship of a sect or party or school they hate those whom He loves, and for whom He died they curse those whom He blesses, and violate the judgmental law of His Gospel." This indictment of the sects that he calls churches, with its ten counts is brought by the eminent theological scholar, and teacher, of New York— Philip Schaff. It is a quetation from alss8pzebcehfolineadtielebeyigliiiitnil Gone itileirea21 ictdololffeSreepotc, o f the so called Evan-gelical Alliance held at Copenhagen. My dear brethren, Warner and Fishier: it, seems to me that the publication of the above indictment by a mair who himself clings to one of the " churches" which he so thoroughly characterizes as abominably wicked, would be productive of good toNTvahle. dsetiwieolir. dosvesfitoliwrerli. e inconsistency of a man who so clearly sees what is the IL-LEGITIMATE fruit of sect, schism, in remain-ing a party to a system of such abomina-tion, and also counseling, as he did, in the same ' speech, thus, " Everybody should belong to that denomination which he conscientiously prefers to any other, and in whfichliishies caann ed: 2ocateltie cintros ." tat tgioolo. ld Oh what blindness of these great educated babylon divines.

Ile might sanctify and cleanse it. with the washing of water by the Word, that He might present it to Himself, a glorious Church, not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing : but that it should be holy and withouhblemish.— Eph. 5: 25- 27 Ho*. unmistakable this portion God's Word which portrays so grandly both the love and power of Christ-- s- conveys the necessi-ty of perfect_ purity, and perfect conform-ity to the Divine will. It states expressly that Christ died for the purpose of secur-ing to Himself a Clit frch cleansed and sanctified, without spot: What depth o meaning is here. Is it possible that - He will find such a Church, such a Bride? 0 praise God! we can say yes: Unto the angel of the Church in Sardis, John was commanded to write: Thou host a few names even in Sardis, which have not- de-filed their garments, - and they shall walk with me in white; for they are worthy.: --- verses 3, 4. 0 how much better, and sweeter, to enter the Heavenly Canaan than to enjoy an earthly one.

Praise God I am happy to hear you say, God sanctified you ten years ago. I cannot tell you what I have enjoyed from time sanctifying power o God's grace; but it will suffice to say that my peace has flowed like a river, and I can testify that I have had More of the presence of the Lord than during my whole previous existence. The earnest of the pur-chased- possession has been given to mai, and I have rejoiced in the hope of the glo-ry of God, and of the rest which remain eth for His people. Sweet rest in Jesus Praise the name of Jesus fray for me, that I may always enjoy God's holy pres-ence.
