THE RISE OF SECTARIANISM. —: 0:- N order to make plain to the reader the rise of sectarianism, it will be necessa- . ry to commence back in the prophecies, which may seem to some as not bearing upon the point but wait and see. Seata-rianism is a power. Now it is well known that many powers have arisen since the creation or the world Yes,— Arisen and had their sway; And again have liaised away. whereas thou sagest iron mixed with mi-ery clay, they shall mingle themselves with the seed of men : but they shall not-cleave one to another, even as iron is not mixed with clay?'— Daniel 2. : 38- 44. In the 43rd verse we see present truth exemplified in the fact that, the different powers do mingle together by- visiting each- other, and exchanging commodities; but the different governments do not, cleave one to another. We see another wonderful feature in that dream as set forth in the 34th and 35th verses. After beholding in his dream, the great image divided into its parts, rep-resenting, as we have before stated, the four universal powers, and the ten miner powers, " he saw a stone was tcut mint with-out hands, which smote the image upon his feet, that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces." " Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver and the gold broken to . pieces together, and became like the chaff of the Summer threshing- Mors, and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for shunt : mid the stone that smote the image, be-came a great mountain and - filled the whole earth." This represents Christ Je-sus the Son of the living God find Ills kingdom. Verse 41, reads,—" And in the days of- these kings shall the God of heav-en set up a kingdom, which shallnever be destroyed : and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but; it shall break in pieces and. consume . all these kingdoms, and it shall stand foreve •." - Mark another remarkable feature in the 28th verse. " But there is a GM in- Heav-en that revealeth secrets, and rnaketh same powers that the first four parts of the image. in Nebuehadnezzar'adream did, and the ten horns, the same I en kingdoms that the ten toes did; but in addition, we see another curious knits,— another Bute horn. Now - we know Hid in the days of these kings that. the papal church ofRome sprang into existence and ly e shall see further along that the little horn spoken of is no more nor less that ' papal Rome. The interpreter declares that, n these great beasts which are four; are four kings, which shall arise ( nit of the earth." King here means kingdom, as explain-ed in verse 23, which says, " The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth." Daniel would know• still further the truth of the ten horns that, were in the head of the head of the fourth beast and of the other little horn, even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that, spake very great things, whose Inuits were more stout than his fellows; lie says, " 1 beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them until the ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of " he Most High; and the time came that the taints` possess-ed the kingdom." " Made war with the saints, and prevail ed against them." This part was faltilled during the papal reign: under which up-wards of filly million of martyrs were slain. Look at the cruel persecution of the Albigenses, • the Waldeases, and the Protestants generally by to papal power, how they were thrown to wild beasts; pull-ed apart by wind/ astea, thrOwn upon sharp-ened spikes ;` roasted ou gridirons, burned - 1 — 666.

Of course, ' but one uni-versal power could exist at the same time. _ Universal power is one that has full sway ave:; i: the whole inhabited globe, and there never have been but. four of thernyet from the beginning until the present lime : the first of which was the Babylonian king-dom under king Nebuchadnezzar. The second was the Mede and Persian kingdom under king Darius the third, the Grecian under Alexander, and the fourth and last, : the Roman power under the Caesars, which power, or kingdom was divided into ten minor kingdoms, or as some have it, ten minor kingdoms aiaose out of the Roman universal power. Now let us see how beautifully this harmonizes with the Scriptures. Turn to have an account of another dream, which the second chapter of Daniel. Here we runs parallel with the one in the second of the Son of God," assuming to be filial-find that king Nebuchadnezzar" had a chapter, and repeats, not only the exact lible, having the power of granting indal-m of au image whose- head was of fine Iu po wers e, b t a littl more.-- Let us look at gences, assuming the power to forgive urea gold, which represented the firsti Un versal. iFt- oytyeight year;, Nebuchadnez- sins, praying to the virgin Mary, creed power this we know for Daniel says in gar's dream, Daniel saw in his night vision making, and many other things, all of lie 2Sth verse-, " thou art this head of " the font' Winds ( which means in symbolic - which are a departure from essential doc- - and we know that Nebuchadnezzar was language • strife, war, and political cola- trines taught by Christ and the Apostles. ing of t he Babylonian governmme nt at rmuction) of the Heaven strove upon the In Rev. 13: we read of a beast " which k that time.

Also Bro. and sister Markwell. We woul Oct. 15th,. for Covert, to hold a meeting in the nameOf - the Lord with the saints- of God at that place. .: We ' began meeting the next night ( Oct. - 1.6) in a Hall the saints ' mire rented in which to worshipGod. We were not through with our first dis-course, until time Spirit of God showed us our duty in that place as then of God. We found some that had the life of Christ in them, but had their spiritual joy some-what curtailed by the evil infigenCe• of a few that were possessed with that mean spirit of their father, the devil; continual-ly picking, finding fault, and gnashing on the saints of God with their teeth, and " making a man an offender for a word of naught." The spirit of Christ is not the spirit of rage, nor is it that spirit that loves to see the children of God divided, and subdivided into different clans, and not at all at peace with each- other. But it is that spirit that we read of in 1 John 21: 8; 3A-' 6, that loves to have things so. We held meeting both day and night in the Hall except time last night. We never had the burden of souls upon us since we have been out in the field, as we had while at that place. It seemed that the devil had brought all his forces to that place to prevent the work of the Lord, and keep poor souls in the dark but God, who is rich in mercy gave the dear ones who were tangled, i. e., the most of them, honest hearts to receive the Word, and get down and let God cleanse . them from all sin, and fill them with His fullness. ro: lhe meeting lasted 11- days, during which time many of the dear saints were built up in the Lord, and settled in the truth to live for God with more zeal in their souls than ever before. The last night we went to dear brother Nelson's; and commmemorated the death of our dear Lord Jesus Christ, in washing the saint's feet, and in break-ing bread and drinking wine Forty- two participated in the ordinances of God's house, and were blessed in the deed. 0 the holy joy filled all our hearts as we listened to the many voices that were raised in thanks to God for all His love to them. In time: pastthe saints of God at Covert were somewhat detained in their worship, by those who have a form of god-liness, but not the power, who were in the channel of them y, and not in the bod y of Christ. I pray God that they will there-fore keep full of the- Word and fire of God, so much so that hypocrites will not be able to- take part with them in the worship of God but will have to ' t it r get under the blood and get saved, or else get out- I have learned this one thing in my Christian experience, that a narrow con-tracted hypocrite will no sooner light upon a Church full of the Holy spirit, than - a fly will light upon a red het stove. But-when a Church loses the fire, then the antischrist spirit can get, and will get food; for contention is easily aroused where the spirit of God does not exist. There- is no food for the anti- christ spirit, - where there is no contention " about words to no profit, but to the subverttiing of the hearers." Dear saints df God, let us obey the Lord and " not give that which is holy unto dogs, nor cast our pearls before swine." I fear that the jud gments of God are not kept, executed by the saints in general as thee should be. Let us hear the Leal a little about judgment, and who is o ex e cute it. • And it Shall cometo pass, that, he that is left in Zino, and he that remaineth in Jerusa Iii,— shall be called , even every one that is written amenL, the living in J erusalem: When the Lord shall have xashed away the filth of the daughters: of Zion, anti shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit Ofjudgment,-. and the Spirit of burn- - Isa. 4: 3, 4. " And I will restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsel-lors as at the beginning : afterward thou shalt be called, Time City of righteousness; the faithful oily. Zion shall be redeemed with judgimment, and her converts with righteousness"— Isa. 1: 26, 2.1. Any people who 1- mave more or less dead ( so called) children of God hanging on to them with a dry form of godliness, with-jout the Spirit it a is positive proof for one and all, that they have yot the judgments Of God in their hearts. For with the spirit Of burning, and or j- odgment the Church of God is kept free fmro all that are net saved. - Through whom does , the Lord sendo rfth judgment?

( He had been saved in our'first meeting in Tiffin Ohio, about ten years ago; but had lost his hope.) The Lord wonderfully melted his heat in an-swer to prayer, and sent . him home, and he was ready te . fall at - the feet of Jesus, and give himself all to the Lord. The Lord, accepted and saved his soul, and there was joy in Heaven, as well as great joy inthat family. May' GO also bring home to himself the remaining members of the family. We were expected to labor in Anthony, but after closing in the country, we felt led of the Lord. to g- o on to Wichita, Kan. Soon Oct. 12, we went to a little . strewn. near Anthony, where we buried with- Christ in baptism, sister Promise, and sis-ter Cora Miller. Time wonderful presence and blessing of God made the scene sa-cred and glorious. That same after- noen we took train, and after sixty miles ride to the- North- east, over a beautiful prairie, enjoying nature as only children of God can, we landed in the young, over- grown city of Wichita. The place claims nearly 30,000 inhabitants. Its age is about seven-teen years. Bro. and sister Rock, in whose happy little borne: we were happy to lodge, tell us that more than half the business blocks have been built in the- last- three years. 8e you see cities spring up in, the West like All persons writing their testimony of mushromnseafter Spring showers.

For some reason the Bro. did not realize an immediate healing, but we, held on by- faith to the promise of the Lord, and he was rapidly recovering, and able to be up some - before we left. We held a few meetings in the School- house, and the Lord, both converted and sancti-fied - three souls, and also sanctified, and anointed dear Bro Daniel Howe, who haV-ing been called for . years to work for the Lord, was ord- aired by the laying on bf hands, as an Eider in the Church of the living God. - I pray God that the dear brother may go to work faithfully for the Master. There is a goed opening there - for the salvation of sorts. Seine were much wrought on by. the Spirit of God, and we hope, will soon seek the Lord: The dear brethren here wish some one to come as soon as - practical,- and held a thorough protracted meeting. I hope the Lord will send dear Bre, and sister ColeoBro. 11aner, or some one else there who- is able to give the people the glorious Gospel. Dear saints being eager for our arrival at Table Rock, Neb. in time to hold out-door service, it is necessary we must urge our journey on Northward. We would love to stop longer at all these points, but thank God for the privilege of stopping and greeting the dear saints, and above all we do praise God that in our short calls we de enjoy the privilege of seeing - a few souls saved. Yesterday dear brother and sister Ilowe's son brought us about forty miles North to this place, where we are enjoying a very opleasant visit with - the family of sister Amy Findley, who . was sanctified at a grove meeting at Payne 0., two years ago, and who also visited- the TRUMPET family at- Williainsion, she being a sister of sister Celia Kilpatrick of the Trumpet She- is also a - cousin of sister Nannie Kigar of our working band. Sister Findley is very hungry for the corn-mullion of saints, heing without scarcely a person in the place that respects Bible not refrain from shouting the praises of salvation. 0 the darkness of this babylen- God, although the passers by stopped to listen with amazement, and the town boys gathered in swarms on the prairie lawn.

From the Hamilton Assembly we came to South Monterey, in the Spirit, tO, assist our dear brother Sharpnack who had labored here a week previous to the assembly, and in-tended to resume his labor for this people. We had all confidence in our God to use us, and we prayed Him to stir and trouble the people, which He did. Deep convic-ion prevailed, as many hearts testified taro. thus far, but would not yield to the Spir- ' t's pleading. Our dear re. Smith came and assisted for a day or tWo. A few pre-sented themselves at the altar, and those who sought heartily found the Savior. 0 how, sad our hearts feel when all things have beeu done, and yet the people are not saved. They that go fo forth] weeping, bearing precious seed, shall donbtless come again bringing their sheaves with --, them. But the Prophet's testimony ( Isa. 49) fits into my soul,— And He ] lath th made my mouth_ like a sharp sword r lin the shadow of His hand hath he bid me,: and said unto me, Thou art my servant, Q Israel in whom 1 will be glorified.
