CC9he Purpose of the Pentecostal 6nduement ~~ E SH:\LL receive power when ~ 1 the H oly Ghost is come upon

you: and yc shall be :r>. l y witnesses" Acts 1 :8, R. V. The

margin reads: "The power of the Holy Gho~t coming upon you," which places the emphasis more clearly upon the Holy Spirit J li mself rather than upon the "power." The Authorized Version reads: "And ye shall be witnesses unto ME." "1Iy witnesses," U\,yitnesscs unto ME" - emphasizes the personal , living Lord, and His work as the purpose of the Pentecostal cnducment of power. The Lord h;'ld fore­shadowed this in His farewell discoursc. " The Spirit of Truth which proceedeth f r0111 the Fa­ther" ("eternally and continu­ously proceeding," Dr. John Smith once pointed out) I He shall bear witness o f ME; and ye also bear witness , because ye have been with Me from the beg inning." John 15, 26, 27. They had been eyewitnesses of His life, His works, His death, His resurrection, but to make this personal knowledge of His walk on earth efTcctual they would need the co-witness of the Divine Spirit to U.is power and glory as the ascended Lord in heaven.

The purpose and the power of Pentecost may therefore be compressed into the few words "Pcrf.Ver to witness." There is a distinction in the Greek be­tween the two words rendered "power" in English, one mean­ing authori~y and another mean­ing abiiity-"dunamis." "Power"

to witness has the lattcr meaning. Not authority to witness, but "ability." It is the same word used of the resurrec­tion of Chri st. "He liveth by the pcr&cr -ability, energy- -of God" j "The power of His resurrection"; "Declared to be the Son of God with pO'ZCJcr:'

"Power to witness," therefore, means a divine equipment to witness; a divine energy-nothing less than God Himself in the Person of the Holy Spirit coming upon a believer to make him "witness"

on historical facts arc of great value, but they may be said to be mainly preliminary in the sense o f "rolJin~ away the stone" intellectually, so as to open the door for the Spirit­given revelation to the heart .

As we look out on the con­dition o f things religiously to­day, we c..'lll not fail to see that thi s divine "po wer to witness" is the great need of the o,ris­tian Church; for even in churches where the Gospel is truly preached in the letter of the \Vord. how few there are to whom the unseen Lord is a " living, bright reality." The result is that there is little per­sonal devotion to Him, and still less knowledge of II is voice, and 1-:1 is personal indiv idual cont rol of the believer's life.

People say sometimes that we think too Il1l1ch about eating.

\ \' c tllrn into what we cat. So important i ... the matler of right

('ating that the Blhle ahouncb in instruc­lion ... regarding it.

( ~ THIS I·N5TORY

DOESN'T SEEM TO

COtlNECT-

Beg-in at the beginning'; of (fJUfSe that means go back to Gl'ncsis. There we fmil the following instructions ",\n<.1 God said, Behold I havc given you ('Vcry herh hl'aring seed, which is upon the iace of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a trec yielding seed; tf) \'OU it shall be f'Jr meat." Gen. 1 :29.

.\ r)('rf('ctly ckar dietetic instruction. what they were cOlllmomjed to (·at. A definite dietary, a mandatory mellu.

Do you ask "Hasn't dietetics made Lre­nwnclolls strides during the last quarter century or so? Isn't it a vcry compli­cated husiu('ss nowadays?"

December 5, 1936

Yes, dietetics has made progress, and cwi(·ntists laboring in the field of nutrition are beginning, as the result of faithful and lahorious research and investigation, to get liS back a little nearer to God's great, all-wise provision for His people's hodily upkeep. But there is still much land for them to possess.

"But what about calories, minerals, vitamins A, B, C, D, E. and all the re~t ?"

Our Father has placed all the calories, minerals, vitamins, and all the other things that scientific investigators have not as yet discovered, in the plants, fruits, nuts, fisb, and flesh. He has created thelll for our usc and cOll1mand­('d us to cat, In Gen. 9:2 and 3, you will find the instructions regarding fi~h, fowl, and flesh.

They arc speciflc and perfectly tl ll ­dt.'rstandahle. All YOtl have to do is to follow them. AI1 the principles of the sClellce of nutrition are emhraced in them.

\\'ith a vat'ied diet, "every herh, every tree," fowl, fish, and flesh, you cannot miss your iodine. calciulll, iron, sulphur, or an) oth<.'r minerals that you need, and arc sure of ),our vitamins from A to Z.

"Raw food in proper proportion?" Of course.

1\11 kinds of frllit and vegetahles are provided for in abundance and profusion, and the law of Goa written in our physi­cal hcing-s causes us to desire to eat fruit. and c\'en vegetables, raw.

\Vho doesn't know what it is to cat raw carrots? Some o f us know wliat it is to get spanked for doing it too. Some old fash ioncd mothcrs didn't know any better. The scienti sts hadn't caught lip to the Bible 011 that yet.

I drive through great Jap.:'lnese mad!et gardens ,'cry often, and someti mes feel that I could envy a herbivorous quad­ruped turned loose in them. while they are sparkling wi th de\\'. Our Father knows how to garnish His table!

Our first parents were also told what not to cat. One tree only was forhidden to them-Uthe tree of the knowledge of good and evil."

J don't believe in making fanciful laws about what we may not cat. Let us adhere to the instructions in the Bible. They arc explicit enough. Romans 14 makes it very clear that we arc not to enter into controversy about Ihese mat­lers, and we have no allthority to im­pose restrictions upon anybody concern­ing thing-s not expressly forbidden in the Bible.

f.et us take our freedom. and remel11-her that the kingdom of God is not meat and drink but righteousness and peace, and joy in the Holy Gho:.t.

To re turn for a 1110l11ent to Gl'llesis­Did our first parcnts obcy the dietetic instrurlions ~iven them?

No; they disobeyed, and refusing to be satisfied with the food provided for them, partook of that which was forbid­den. As a result they brought the en­tire human race under the condemnation of Almighty God, who sentenced them to eternal doom, the second death that never dies. He could do nothing else and remain God.

Am I old fashioned? \\'c11. so he it. I am in good company. I stand with Charles Spurgeon, who said whcn he occupied the foremost pulpit in the \\'orld, "I believe in a topless heavcn, a bottom­less hell, eternal sa lvation, and everlast­ing damnation."

Ever after he was nicknamed "Brim­stone," but like Paul, he kept the faith.

Now 1 come to the gist of my mes­sage.

A man lIlay be wcll fcd, so far as his physica l being goes, and yet :;tarv illg to death.

;'Man doth not live by bread only, but by EVERY word that procccdeth out of the mOllth of the Lord doth man live." Dellt. 8 :3.

Please underl ine. capi talize, emphasize in e\'ery conceivable manncr that word "EVERY."

The other day I was meditating broken­heartedly over the appalling atrocities, the unbelievable outrages being cOlllmit­ted ill Spain at the present moment, and the word s ;;Famine su ffere rs" (loated to me. "Famine sufferers"? "A fam ine not of bread " but of hearing the words of the Lord." Amos 8 : 11.

1 recalled the awfu l things that have been done in famines of natural bread. People even falling upon and de\'ouring their own loved ones ! And how inrLl1itely worse is a famine of the \Vorcl of the Lord!

Man is triune, made up of spi rit , soul, and body, and th e Bi ble plainly teaches that the spiritl/al part o f man must be fed. Doctors furni sh us with formula: for the diets o f our babies, and God has not forgotten 11is bahies; "As new born babes desi re the sincere milk of the \Von1, that ye may grow thereby." 1 Peter 2 :2. \Ve have explicit instruc­tions as to the food requi red by those who are born o f the Spirit, from babyhood to the completion of the race, the fmi sh of the fight of faith. It h imperative that they be follrnued to tile lasl jot and litt/c.

Just as plainly as God told Adam and Eve what to eat for the maintenance of their bodies, J re has specifled our spi rit­ual food, has furnished us with a spi rit­ual menu.

\Vhat is this provision for the nour­!shlllen t. gr.o\\'th , and development of the mller mall ~

we arc poor and we can promise no financial help and so they have all turn­ed tiS down. But the principal told us he thought you might come and help us."

The three womrn stood wcel~ing be­f orc !rhe young man and his heart was. tOllched. "I would gladly do anything I could to help you," he said, "but you st e I am nOt a preacher."

"You are a Christian. we have been told, and surely you can come down to our town on Sunday anti give us a lit­Lie talk."

This young man at last consented to comc the following Sunday. lIe found an old tumble-down church in great need of repair. There had been some trouble and the men of the town would not at­tend, I('aving the cause of Christ to a few poor women who were doing their best to­carryon. There were just thirteen out lhat first Sunday morning. lIe learned that a banker had a mortgage on the­building and was just about to foreclose .. intending to tear down the church and erect business houses on the site.

That first trip was like Nehemiah's. visit to Jerusalem. The young man saw" the broken-down condition of the walts .. hut he also saw possibilities for God~ \Vith the help of the Lord surely some­thing- could be accomplished. With Ne­hemiah there was prayer and there was. action. He too could pray and he could also act. Could not the same mighty God of Israel help him in the task of rebuilding? He would look to Him.

He started off with a Sunday School effort, gathing all the children who filled the streets and neighborhood ncar the church. A good Sunday School is the­bulwark of any church. Soon the grown­ups began to follow the children to church. and to Sunday School. They liked the­spirit of this young enthusiast who was giving his time and talent to help rebuild this church for God. They liked the­simple unpretentious talks he made.

This young man interviewed the bank­er who agreed to forego foreclosing the· mortgage for awhile. Then he went to­see a lumberman who donated some build-· ing- material. He then visited a man who· had a paint store, who gave some paint. Soon a number of volunteers were re-· pairing that run·down church and mak·· ing it look quite respectable again.

Within one year the work of that church was so built up there were 3()() members and a good healthy Sunday School. But that young man, who had now dropped his ideas of becoming a high-school teacher, began to look for something more to do for the Lord. He called a church meeting. He said to his church members, "YOll see what the J .nrd has done for us here. He is surely helping us, and now He expects us to. help the other fellow," He then spoke

()f a ncar-by town whcre tne cause of Christ was badly neglected. He said, "Now wc arc going to start a work for Cod o,·cr there. \\'e are going to gather .all the childrcn of that place into a Sun­<lay School and arc going to provide the Sunday School tcachers f rom our church. \Ve will also start a protractcd meeting .and one of you folks ic; going to give a talk e\"ery night. Pointing to one of his converts he said, "You are going to give a mcssage the first night." Then pointing to anothcr he said, "YOli arc going to give a talk on the second night." Then hc told one aftcr another how he expected them to help.

A Sunday School was startcd in t.his flew district and within a year a thnnng work for God had heen established. Then the pastor called another church mect­lng. He said, "\\'e have started one branch work during the past year and the Lord has indecd becn our helper. 1\' ow wc arc going to start another branch." He dcsignated another neglect­ed town. A Sunday School was started in this town and within a year there was not only a good Sunday School but a fllle congregation.

Our editor friend told ti S that in e ighteen years this young man had op~n­ed eighteen chllrches, everyone of winch has a good Sunday School. 11e stated that he had personally visited every one of these eighteen churches and had seen a nOllfishing work in each place. As to the original church, that had so gr.own during the eighteen years that three tnnes they had to rebuild. They now have a congregation of over 1500.

\ \'hat has heen done in that onc locality call be done all over the country. if we only get the vision and the zeal. The :\fastcr's command is, "Go )"e .and preach the gospel.'· To how many? "To evcry crealure." \\'hcre arc we to start? J list where we are-at our J e1"U­salem. Then we are to spread out-to all J uda::a . Then f urthcr-o\·~r. t he border to Samaria. J n the large \"1:01011 of our Saviour there is beyond us "the utter­most parts of the carth," and when we are truly joined with Him in spirit that will he our vision too.

A few days after talkin~ to this editor I had a chat with our General Superin­tendcnt, 13rothcr E. S. \Villiams, ,vllO had just returned from a visit to the South. J was telling him this story and he remarked, "1l will be largely up to u s as a people who have the Full Gospel message 10 accomplish the task of na­tion-wide evangelism. The churches in this land arc largely dead. So many of them have men in the~r pulpits who have lost thcir faith." He then related how he had been invited to dinner at a cer­tain university and found that the man who taught the Old Testament to the sludC'nts· the futurc prC'arhers of

.\mrrica· ·utterly r<'j<'ckd the miracu­lous. 1 low can thost, whose faith is un­d(.:rmined preach a full gospd message? It is surely up to those who know the power of Ih" Spirit and who behc\"e the \\·nrd of God to gi,·c the gospel m('~s..,gc

to tho"e who ha\"e it not, depending wholly as did those l·arly apostles on the prl's(.:ncc of the Lord working with them and confirming the word with signs fol­lowing. \\'c must go forth as did \llg-nstine with the watchword, ".\ whole Bihle for my starr, a whole Christ for my . .sa~'iotlr, and a whole world for my parish.

Pamphlets giving details of this Seven Years \Vhole Bible Course for our Sunday School and our Three Years Preparatory Course for our primary children will be gladly sent free to those who apply for the same.

We have found among our {riends all over the country a hearty response to thi s 11l0ving away frol11 this one third Bible course prescri bed by the Interna­tional Committee, to the \Vhole Bible Course that has been prayerfully pre­pared by Spirit- Ii li ed workers. We arC saying 10 one and aIJ, "Collle with us into the whole ,",Vord of God, and we know of a certainty that the livi ng \ Vord of the living God will do you good." \Ve need tbis for a liI' Sunday School children , for the entrance o f God's \Vord giveth lif!ht and life. \·Ve need the whole \,yord of God in order to get the vision of ag­gressively going out beyond Ollr own immediate circle to start eighteen or more outstations as the young man did whose story we have told.

Some may ask, " \ \Tha t helps can we have for ihe new course 7" Vie believe every Sunday School teacher who de­sires to study these lessons thoroughly should h;lVC both O\lr /\dllit Teacher's Quarterly and our Tntennediate Teach­er's Quarterly (which also includes helps for luniors). The writers for the Adult Teacher's Q uarte rly are Brothers Myer Pearlman, E. S. \\"illiams, Noel Perkin, Olas. E. Robinson, and the Editor of the

Evangel. The writ('rs for the :lnter­mcdiate Teach,er's Quarterly are Miss Alice E. Luce, 1-.1rs. Clara IJrooks, Miss Zelia. Lindsey, and others.

I t is also recommended that each Sun­day School send [or a bundle roll of Evangels so that each teacher can re­ceive Ollt:. The le~son will be explained each week in this paper.

Leuer from a Missionary tl ere is a letter n:celltly received from

a very spiri tual Pentecostal missionary, Brother G. F. Bender, llarquisimeto, Venezuela, South America. "The num­ber of the Evangel that fd led me with deep satisfaction was the Spccial Sun­day School l1uml,er. For· a long time the Sunday School lessons have been obnox ious to mc. My poor soul refused them and 1 got to the place where I hated to study the lessons. 1 could not interpret this feeling in me for a long timc, until aboul two weeks before the Special Sunday School number came,

when I said to my wi £e: 'I hate the In­ternational Sunday School lessons. It is hard for me to teach them. But what to do I do not know.' Will we be able to get these new Bible lessons in Span­ish? VIe should like to follow them if possible, because my soul loathes these 1 nternationai lessons."

A Need for Your Teachers \Vith the introduction of the \·Vhole

Bible Sunday School Course in the New Yea r, we believe it will be found helpful if every Sunday School would order a bundle roll of Pentecostal I~vangels, so that every teacher can have the benefit of the lesson helps that will be found each week in tha t paper. The cost in. U. S. A. for a bundle roll of 6 copies weekly is only $1.56 per quarter; for 12' copies weekly, $3. 12 per quarter; for 25 copies weekly, $6.50 per quarter. The prite in Canada (we have to pay extra postage) will be for 6 copies weekly, $1.95 per quarter; [or 12 copies weekly~ $3. 75 per quarter; for 25 copies weekly .. $7.65 pCI' quarter.

Proper Food A naturalist had a numher of pigeons.

Finc, healthy birds they were, for be fed them on wholt' grain. One time he made an experiment. Hc began to feed them on bahr's white bread. The millers take about two-thirds of the nourish­mcnt Ollt of the whill' flour llscd in the urdinary baker's bread. The result was that a her a month of this ncw diet the pigeons became so weak that they could not fly. SOIlIC wt're practically dying.

Some friends r('\luked the naturalist for giving this food to his pigeons and he said, "\\'ell, I am only giving the birds for a month what you are giving your children all the time.'· He then changed the diet, giving the hirds whole grain agaill, and in a month they were just as healthy as they were Ix' fore.

1£ we love the children of our Sunday Schools we shall be glad and happy to give them a whole Bible course instead of one from which two-thirds of the Bible has been taken away. Beginning January 1st, the Gospd Publishing House offers to all our Sunday Schools a Seven Years Full Bible Course instead of the one-third Bible course offered by the International Lessoll l.:ollll11iltcc.

\Ve have not heard [rom one who expressed any regret at ou r maki ng this change. In 2 e hron. 21 :20 there is a brief obituary about that abolllinable k ing Jehoram who "departed without be­ing desired." Everyone that we have talked with so far seems to be shouting happy ahout the change £rol1l a one­third to a {ull Bible course, and over the one-third Bible course can be written the epitaph of Jehoram, ··departed with­out being desired."

healing cults, etc. , have come £roll1 our neglect of !)omc portions of the Bible.

\Ve cannot afford to neglect one thing in divine Revelation. Nor may we fill ourselves with onc aspect of divine truth almost to the exclusion of other aspects . If we do this, masses of our fe llow beings "lame ones" may be turned out of the way, faili ng to have their spiritual hun­ger satisfied, partly famished, they turn to garhage heaps for sustenance.

GOD'S people can only be un ited, "one as He and the Father arc One," on the basis of the WHOLE Bll3U'.

John's Vision on Palmos J.e~son for December 13; Less,.,n Text Rev.

1:1 to 3:22.

I. THE AUTHOR AND IllS CIRCUMSTANCES

John, the Apostle whom J tSU~ loved, had ~Jlltlivcd all the rest of the Tweh-e, each of whom had 'iuflen.:d a violent (leath, and now John himself is a lonely prisoner in banish­ment on the treelcss Isle of Patmos. J Ie is tht John who wrote the fourth Gospel, and also tIll' First, Second, and Third Epi!otles of John.

The EUllx:ror of Rome in all official pallers (";\Ikd himself, "Our Lord and God," and demanded of all bis subjects acts of homal{e which are due only to God. Because the Christians refused to (>.1.y him this humage. tlwy were lo~ked upon as enemics of the State and. from time to timc, bloody persccu tiPtlS were launched in the hope of extenninat­in/.! thelll. In the providence of God John had escaped death in all of these persecutions.

II. )OIlN II\'TRODUCES illS TJlEME John wrote a letttr to the seven churches in

A!>ia Minor, of which he was the bishop, (krl11itely directing a part of the letter to earh church. Howc"er the portion meant for caeh was nnt confIdential, but waS intended 10 be shared, not only by the seven, but by the church at large, down through tbe cen­wries, as well. At the close of each one of these letter· portions is the reitera ted command, "I [e that hath an car, let him hear what the SI)iri t saith unto the churches." Then we n'ad, "Blessed is he that readeth," and keep­l'tll "those things which arc written" in this nook. So we sec that it is of vital importance that every Ch ristian both read ami heed all these letter poJ·tiom.

Grace and peace arc mentioned as coming from the Father, "Him which is, and which was, and which is to come" (Preferably, is romillg, "etemally. seJ(-exi5tent, and yet who is, as it were. e\'er moving forward, unroll­ing on the (>.'Re of history His unEni!:ohed and unnuishable name") ; and from the l loly Spirit, "the seven 5pirits which arc before the throne" (Sec Rev. 5:6); ":lIld from Jesus Christ who is the faithful witness." The beginning of his descript io)) of the Lord Jesus reminds us of the Lord's concluding statement to H is fol­lowe rs that . "Ye shall be witlll'Ssl's lInto tile • . • IIttlO the uttermost part of the earth." Acts 1 :8.

John concludes his introduction with a doxology of praise "unto Him that loves ( R. \'.) us. and washed us from our sins in his own blood." That the word sh<;;luld be "IO\'es" is plain as soon as one remembers that He changes 110t. As H e loved us Ollce, He loves IlS still. Praise thc 1.ordl lIe "hath made us a kingdom: pr iests unto God" (Lit. Tr.) . He is King and we administer the kingdom as priests,

1f f. T II E~[ E DEFINITEl.Y STATED Outside of the se\'Cll letter-portions addressed

to John's seven churches, the Revelation is a wonderful descr iption by symbols, of the second coming of the Lord Jesus including the mighty e\'ents that immediately precede and follow that

TIlE PENTECOSTAL EVANGEL

C(ltl1lng. It is an enlargement of what the Lord forecac;t in His Olivet discoune, in verse seven al!l1()~t using again the words of Matt. 24 :30-"'I'll( 11 5h .. 11 all the tribes of the earth mourn."

",\11 kindreds of the earth shall wail." some in f!<·nittllce. such as the Jews who shall "mourn for him. as one mourneth for his (!Illy ~Oll" (Zech. 12:1 0); and as an incident of Iwh wailing a nation shall be born in a day,

I"a. (i6:8-10. When the Times of the Gen­tilc~ ~ltall have come to an end, and the Jews an' again the fayorer' of God. it b believed that that nation will do the chief pari of the cvilf1~di7.ation then to be done. Some will mourn ill despair and call for the rocks and lIl{)untains to fall on them. Rev. 6:16, 17.

IV. TWO IXTRODUCTIONS The re,ll Author of the Book introduces

llilllself a<;, "All)ha aTlGl Omega," as if IIe had said the A and the 2, the "beginning and the ending," "the Almighty." The human author, \\'ho wrote down what he was told to write, intrmluces himsdf as "your brother and com­Il<tlli"ll in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ."

John says he was in the Spirtt (I believe it ~h(luld be written spirit), even as it is believed Palll was, while his body lay on the trash pile outside the city of Lystra, when it was !:oupposed that he was dead. The presumption is tlmt at that time Paul was "in the spirit," and so was caught I1P into heaven where he ~aw things that it is not lawful to tell, See 2 Cor. 12:2-4.

V. A FORECAST FOR US We are told that the Lord Jeslls "shaH

changc ollr vile body, that it may be fashioned like lInto his glor iolls body." See Phil. 3 :20, 2 1. The body of Jesus as it was before it was glorified or made into "his g lorious body," was well known to John; but when he turned, as he says, "to sec the voice that spake with" him, and saw the Lord J eSlls in "his glorious body," the sight was so overpowering that he "fell at his feet as dead." Now we are to

IIn:!l' bodies like His. ~o wondcr therefore that it is ~aid that the things ,vhich God hath prep.a rcd for them that loye Him have not en· tererl into the heart of man. Sce 1 Cor. 2 :9. ~o wonder Daniel ShOlltS, "They that be wise ~hall c;hine as the brightness of the firmament." ( 12 :3). Israel had a sort of preview of this glory which is to be ours, when they saw )of ()~n' face shining with such intolerable hrightncss that Moses had to wear a yeil before thl'm.

\'1. \\'ORDS OF DESCRIPTION \\'hen John turned "to see the voice," he saw

the glorious Christ standing in the midst of sC\'cn golden candlesticks, and holding in I tis hand scven stars. It is explained that the SCVl'll golden candlesticks arc the seven church­es :tnd that the seven stars held ill His hand arc the angels, that is, as is generally belieyed. the pa5{ors of those several churches. It is mo~t encouraging to pastors to know from this that they too are held in the hand of the ullchanging Christ. Praise the Lord! And how glorious too is the realization that our Lord ~tallds in the midst of our assemblies, watch­ing, guiding, loving, inspiring. \Ve arc not hrought into Christ by the new birth and then left to shape our course the best way we can, which would be poorly enough; but we are "kept by the power of God through faith unto salvat ion ready to be revealcd in the last time," 1 Peter 1 :5.

Out of the mouth of this glorious personage wellt "a sharp twoedgcd sword," a thing to which special attention is again called in the letter-portion meant for the church at Smyrna. Rev. 2:12. As this sword proceeds out of His mOllth it seems it must bc words, and this is made the more reasonable when we read that "The word of God is Quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twocdged sword" (Heb. 4: 12); and that "he shal! smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of hi s lips shall he slay the wicked." Isa. 11 :4.

\"If. THE LORD REASSURE5 JOHN When John looked upon the glorious Christ

whose face shone "as the sun shineth in his strength," and "feB at his feet as dead," our wonderful Lord "laid his right hand upon" John, saying, "Fear no!." This Illust have reminded John of that night on the tossing waters of the lake when this same Jeslls had come to the toiling disciples, walking on the water. Thcy we re frightened, thinking they were seeing a ghost. but Jesus said, "Be of good cheer; it is I; be Hot afraid," :Mat t. 14 :27. Preciolls, r(,assuring, understanding, synl ]}'1.th izing Saviour 1 He is saying to you and me, ill ou r hard places, as Hc said to the ruler of the synagogue when he was told that his daughter had died, "Be not afraid, only beliel'e." Mark 5 :36. "In all points he was tempted like as we are," and so He is "touch­ed with the feeling of our in6nnities." Heb. 4 :IS.- C, E . R.

INCREASING AR~tAMENTS An Associa ted Press despatch irom Geneva

~tatc5: "A vast increase in the armaments of the world was shown today by the Lea~e of :\ations Armament Year Book for 1936."

PALESTINE A CROWN COLONY? Reports hrwish ChroH4·cfe: "A th('(lry thOit

was advanced soon after the 1929 riots in Palestine has now taken concrete shape in the formation of the Palestine Crown Colony As­sociation, the purpose of which is to stture the inclusion of Palcsti~ within the fu.mc­work of the British Commonwealth."

BTBLELESS HOM ES According to Bible 8culIIn', it was found

that 2,953 out of 7.646 homes visited by one worker within a year had no Bibles. Another worker found a family who for four genera­tions never owned a Bible. Th~s~ discov~rie, were made not on the edg~ of a prime\'ai for­est, nor in th~ neglect~d int~rior of a far­away continent. but in our own United States. The fact that half the world lives in Bible­l~ss homes confronts thos~ charged with BibJ~ distribution with a solemnizing ch311~nge.

PALESTINE SlllPPING \Ve I~arn from Pall's/j'll' Rrview that

"Nearly 300,000 travelers came or left by sea in 1934. From 803 ships that anchored in Haifa and Jaffa harbors in 1930, rcprcs~nting a total tonnage of 1,800,000, th~ figure r~~ in 1934 to 2,518, repres~nting 6.000,000 ton­nag~. Th~ amount spent on shipping trans­port to and frolll Palcstin~ in 193-1 in r~spect of both flasseng~rs and good, has been com­puled al over $20,000,000. In 1935 all Ihes~ figures wer~ appreciably high~r."

GOD'S RICH MAN "One of England's rich~st men is practically

unknown," declares Dau.!n. "H~ is Afr. Joseph Lank. eighty-one years old, own~r of the big­gest flour mills in Gr~at Britain . He owns over $100,000,000 and might be much richer if he did not give money away by the million. He is a devout Christian, and has built mission churches in many industri.al towns and in th~ East End of London. His gifts to the Method­ist Church total som~.thing like $5,000,000. Th~ guiding principle of his lif~, he once told his closest intim.ate, is prayer. "If I tak~ any­thing to prayer, I alway, succeed."

\VHAT COMMUNISTS TEACH "Th~re are more than 124 Communist Sunday

Schools in Great Britain in which the Com­munist faith is 13ught," says Da<t'/1. "The CAtechism in common use t eacl~s in allsw~r to the questions, for example, What is God' 'God is a word used to de~ignate an imaginary being which people of th~lIlselves have devised.' Who is Jesus Christ? 'Jes.us Ch r i,)t is the son of a Jewish girl C.3l1ed Mary.' II he the Son of God? 'There is no God. therefore there can be no God's Son.' Is Christ ianity desir­aWe? 'Christianity is not .advantageous to us, but it is harmful, it makes us spiritu.al cripples. By its 'caching of bliss after de.ath it deceiyes the people. ChrWitianity i5 the greatest obstack to the prOi'r~SI of mankind, therefor~ it is the dllty of every citiun to help wipe out Chris­tianity.' ..

"Power to witness" so that the exalted Christ is revealed as a Living Person, acting and working in the world as really as when He walkeel on rarlh. is needed to-day, to meet the daring .,'scftions of "deceiving spirits" and "tc(lC'hings of de­mons" (1 Tim. 4 :1, \VcymoUlh). given through the lips of 111('11, tl1t'lllsrlves de­ceived, to their eternal loss.

The following is a pulpit utterance of a Modernist preacher: "Christ to-day dotsn't mean a Person, hut the great advance of goodness and good"; "\Vhen we magni f y J ('sus we disregard God"; "TIl(' idea that the world is a wreck or in ruin, and can only he !'aved by a dt"ath on a cross is a li (·.

lampstands-will be manifested to the world as an undeniable reailty.

\Vhat were the charncteristics of the eC'Juipping of the Spirit upon the early church. As preparation for the "power to witn('~s," to be confrrred later on, the reception of the Spirit breathed upon the company in the upper room upon the resurrection day bears an important place. Here the risen Lord showed them His scarred hands and side as the marks of His Cross and Sacrifice. They knew Him as the crucified and risen One, and here received from Himself the Holy Spirit, communicating to them "the new life of the resurrection." Here they had the path of Ihe new life unfolded to them. They were to be reprc!'entati\'es of the risen Lord, as He had represented the Father. \Valking in newne~s of life, shar­ing the life of the ri sen I.ord, they were to IJc a "holy priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices," and, like the priests in the Tabernacle of old, would be able to declare whether the sin, typified by leprosy, was put away or retained, ac­cording to the faith and obedience of the repentant sinner. The Spirit of Olrist in them could discern, and would aSSllre of forgiveness, when sa\' ing g-race was manifest. All this would be the result of the S pirit bestowed upon the resur­rection day.

But Peter still went a-fishing. and still found himself Hhurt," or grieved, over apparent lack of confidence in him by the Lord, and still mani fested natural curi­osity in the doings of otht'f~. John 21, 3, 17, 22. In brief, altholl~h hL' had re­ceived the Holy Spirit in the on-breathing of the risen Lord, the equipment to wit­ness was still needed. It was, therefore, to these very disciples that the Lord said: "Tarry . . . until ye be clothed with power from on high." On the resur­rection day He had said: "Receive the Holy Ghost"; and now He says , "Tarry until ... " The one stage is preparation

for the other. Tn the one it is "Take the Holy Ghost"; in the other it is, "Ye shall receive the power of the Holy Ghost comillg lIpon YOII." In the one case it is for character, in the other for service or witnessing.

Then another, and mo~t important. condition of preparation for the endue­ment of power is ofttimes overlooked. An experience is sought for, rather than the principle~ upon which the Divine Spirit will work being carefully studied, for the obedience of faith. The SPIrit of Cod works illvariably a/ollg the lillI'S of the 'written ~Vord of God. If "power to witness" is to be given, Ife Illust have Illen who know the Scriptures, so as to equip them to bear witness along the lines of the written \Vord. The disciples were prepared for Pentecost, not only by the experiences of the resurrection day, in the inbreathing of the resurrection life, but by being carefully taught by the risen Lord Himself in the Scriptures. To the two on the road to Emmaus, "beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, He interpreted to them in all the Scrip­tures the tllings cOllccrl/h~g Hjmself.'~ and to the assembled company later on also 11e said: "I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, how that all things must needs be fulfilled which are writ­ten in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the Psalms, concerning ME. Then opened lie their mind, that they might understand the Scriptures ..... Luke 24, 27, 44, 45. This shows how care­fully He had taught them, as far as they could comprehend His teaching, in the written \Vord.

The result was that the "fuel," so to speak, fol' the Holy Spirit's usc in co­witnessing at Pentecost was already laid, and there were three lines of witnessing converging for the convicti ng of souls: (1) The witness of the Scriptures; (2) the testimony of the eye-witnesses of the death and resurrection of the God-Man: and (3) the supreme living co-witness of God the Holy Ghost, the author of the Scriptures and the Possessor of the men bearing witness under His energizing power.

This preparation of knowledge of the Scriptures has been often overlooked. Workers think if they are given "power to witness," no "preparation" to speak is needed, and that miraculously they will somehow be given divine "messages." It is t rue that Peter preached his sermon 011

the Day of Pentecost all the "spur of the moment," as we would say, but his mind and heart had alre..1.dy been filled with the written Word, for the Lord Himself had opened his mind to understand the Scriptures; so that the Spirit of God was using what was already prepared in Peter by the teaching of Christ Himself.

This matter is of primary importance for all who are seeking the enduement

of power for scrvice. The Spirit of Pentecost has not changed! The pat­tern of His co-witness with a bdiever, giv­ing "power to witness," is clearly seen in the Acts of the Apostles. Evcry "wit­ness" they gave, however brief, was along the line of the Scriptures. in simplicity of language, and calm. coherent sequence of thought. Nothing "jerky," or dim in meaning, or in broken sentences Iweding to be put together and interpreted like some myste rious utterance from the oracle of Delphi, but just plain language which could be verified from the written \,' ord, by the most ignorant and simple believer . And every "witness" embodied the Gos­pel as foreshadowed in the Old Testa­ment Scriptures, and fulfilled before their eyes. Ye "killed the Princc of Life, whom God rai sed ... we arc witnesses ... Repent ..... Acts 3-15- 19. "Ye crucified ... whom God, ra ised from the dead" (Acts 4-10). "Jesus whom ye slew hanging Him on a tree. Him did God exalt." Acts 5:30, 31. And t'£Ve are 'lQime.sscsu I So it ranI

It was so manifestly the \Vord of the li ving God that it was 5<'lid: "And the \Vord of God increased." It bore fruit. The "power to witness" was given in power to wield the Scriptures , and to speak the \Vord of God wilh boldness. When they prayed, it was that the exalted Lord would grant unto His ';bondserv­ants" to "speak Thy \Vord with bold­ness." When the angel of the Lord opened prison doors to the undaunted witnesses, the command was, "Go ye, stand and speak .. all the words of this Life." The trouble to the chie E priests was that they "filled Jerusalem

with their teaching"-the teaching that the Man of Calvary, slain upon the tree, was a. Prince and a Saviour exalted at God's right hand. And again, when the "work" grew, the apost\('s qUickly saw they must not be diverted from the "min­istry of th~ \Vord."

]11 brief, the Book of the .-\cts of the Apostles teems with passages from the Old Test<lment Scriptures, showing how the Spirit of God gave His co-witness to those He empowered to witness on the simple lines of Scripture alone. Taught though they had been by Christ Himself, they were 110t left to "witness," so to speak, as they thought best, but they were kept to the safe lines of the written \Vord. Peter did not even use any of the strik­ing inc idents he had seen in the Lord's life to emphasize this witness! lIe did not testify to his own experience, ex­cept in the briefest way; and he did not give a minute account of his spiritual emotions on that wonderful Day of Pente­cost. He only said to the Apostolic Coullcil, in the most m<1.tter-of-fact way, concerning the company in the house of Cornel ius: "The Holy Ghost fell on them, even as 011 us at the beginning." They preached simply the death, resurrection, and exaltat ion o f the Lord Jesus, and used the \,yord of God in so doing. T hey gave the pith of the Gospel-Calvary! The resurrection! The ascension! The call to repent. The coming of the Lord.

This is just what is needed to-day. Be­lieve rs indwelt by the H oly Spirit, reveal­ing their resurrection union with the risen ascended Lord, so filled with the writ­ten Word that the Eternal Spir it of the Father can come upon them and energi ze them to "witness" with boldness, so that they wield the "sword of the Spir it" with such effect that men will be prickl'd to the heart by the two-edged \\'ord, which is ';active," and able to divide asunder soul and spirit, piercing joints and narrow, and discerning the thoughts and intents of the heart.

But, it Illay be said. all tIllS is concern ing the disciples and the Penkcost of the early Church. The s..'lme prill(:iples stand good now. Many arc In'ing- in the di~~ pcnsation of the ] loly Spirit, without knowing the power of the lIoly Spirit in their lives. And this, inde<,'d, is mani fest in the condition of the Church. The Spirit has heen given, for J<'SliS has been glorified; but it is the work of that same Spir it to make real il.nd trut' to each individual believer all tl1:\t Cal\'3ry mean.;. and all that union with tht, risen Lord means- -yea, and a ll that POltccost nwans in ;'powcr to witness" to a living personal Christ , in such manntr that He becomes a living Person to others. I f we seek the fulness of the Spirit. and there is no "power to witness" effectively to tht, risen Lord, so tha t results follow then we must assume that SOIlH..'where we have fa iled in the conditions ncx:eSs.1ry for the Holy Spir it 's working. 1t seems to be in the preparation needed-which we have overlooked-and po:;sioly in the con­cept ion of our minds as to what the fu l­ness of the H oly Spint means!

"Power to witness" is stamped upon every page o f the apostolic record! Power to speak the \~l ord o f God wil h boldness! The risen Lord had prepared them for "Pentecost" by opening the \Vord to them; and the ri sen Lord can do this again now in those whom H e indwells. A great and primary "preparation" for the enduement of power for se rv ice is a be­ing filled with the \Vonl of God, so thal the Divine Spir it may afterwards use the inwrought \Vord in "power to witness" to all who need the Saviour.

Address

December 5, 1936

der eonvlctl0n who come quite regularly to the servicel, but as yet are not willing to give up all to follow the Lord, the only true Lover of their souls. Pray for them.

One lady, about thirty A Ple ... ure-.eeker 'years of age, ..... as on m..eu the Joy.Giver her way to the movies.

She noticed our tent pitched on a vacant lot Il(;ar her home. Halting, she heard the evangelist preaching about a st range religion. SOUle unseen power drew her into the tent, she said. As she listened, convict ion gripped her heart; her sins loomed up before her like a mountain. The burden became unbearable. She finally yielded and gave her heart to the Lord. The result was that the burden of sin was rolled away. she was delivered from the use and desire of tobacco and drink, she lost all desire for othe r worldly pleasures, and is now a happy follower of the Lord Jes us. Hallelujah I

Anothe r heard the gospel In.tant H-.Iina on the s t reet corner some

mon ths ago. This resulted in an abiding eon viet ion. She got gloriously saved. Soon after this her baby took sick. T hough she had never heard of divine hea l­ing, she reasoned that the Lord could heat her child. So she called the pastor, a nd, accord ing to her fait h, hcr baby was h ealed instantaneo usly.

A third lady had been go-Tran. fonned ing to anot her chu rch fo r

SE)me t ime, but was hungry fo r more o f God. Hearing t he evangelist preaching about a de finit e exper ic nce wi th the Lord, h er hu nger increased t he mo re. She went to the preacher's house, asked fo r prayer and really found t he Lord to be a reality. "He has t ransformed my whole being," she testified.

St ill another testifi ed " H ell on Earth.. stating that for fi f-become. .. teen years th e i r HHome, Sweet H ome" home had been like

a litt le he ll on earth. H er husban d was a d runkard who seldom ca me home sober. Often 5he was on the verge of run ning awa y, bll t something held her. E ight month s ago he r husband came into our church a nd was saved. So st rongly did she oppose him th at he quit coming to church and went back into sin . One mo nth ago, he ag ain came to th e ch urch and wa s reclaim ed. Bu t aga in she so opposed him that he was turn ed :l side. A few weeks ago th e Lord let their ch ild become ill. In mak ~ ing his rounds in visi tat io n work, o ur pastor ca lled o n them. H e prayed for t he littl e fellow and the Lord g raciously healed hi m. This touched her hea rt and was the tur ning point in her life. She t urn ed to the Lord, and happily testifi es: " Now we are a ha ppy fam ily, traveling the same road toget her." Pray for them all that they may not fait in the hour of temptatio n.

\ Ve are very much in An ore&n needed need o f a n organ for our

mi ssion. Wi ll you please pray w ith u s fo r the needed amount to secu re this-about fi fty dollars.

P eter knew Moses and Elijah on the Mount of T ransfiguration ( Matt. 17 :4), and we have the promi se that we " shall know even as alsO") we are know n." 1 Cor. 13 :12. The rich man in hell recognized Ab raham and Lazarus. Lukl! 16 :23. There is no doubt but that we shaU know in heaven those whom we have known upon earth. Our relationships will be different, however, material relationship~ having g ive'\ way before those which are spiritual.

What is the meanillU of 1 Cor. 7 :291 Clarke's commentary point s out that the

great ~rsecution of the church by pagan Rome was upon them, therdore let tho' e who had wives not think o f any comfo rtable settlemen' fo r their famili es. but rather let them be ready to flee, or face death as providence might pe~­

mit. That those who wept be not overcome by their tribulations, and those wIn had earth­ly property deal honestly, not using their earth­ly interests to the full , but havig all con s_'­crated to God. \Ve believe such an inte rpreta­tion to be fitt ing now. The verse does n") t mean that hu ~bands and wives must live sepa­rated lives.

In view of th e tt(Jchitlg of Lrv. 11:7, 8; Dellt" 14:8; Iso. 65:4; 66:3,17, do ~'ou think it wr-Otlg

f or Christicms to t at pork as food '

The Is raelites were forbidden to eat pork. and it might be better for the health of u .. were we not to cat it. But there is nothing in the New Testament, which is written for both Jews and Gentiles, that fo rbids eating pork. No prohibition concerning pork was given in that great message of freedom to the Gentile Church gh'en in Acts 15 :20. In fact the New Testament teaches that Oleat cannot commend us to God. See Rom. 14 :6, 14, 15, 16; 1 Tim. H, 5.- E. S. IV.

A LESSON pROM HEBREW GRAMMAR

A man of high character but of ordinary education was addressing a room full of school children, and he said to them: "All of you know the verb which says. ' I am, thou art, he is'; and all of you know that verbs in English, French, German, Italian and Latin run in that way: 'I love, thou lovest, he loves'; or 'I walk, thou walkest, he walks'. But do you know that this is a very bad way for a verb to run? Do you know that the old Hebrews arranged their verbs the other way round: 'He is, thou art, I am'?"

Then he aded: "That is the way to look at life. Say to yourself, looking up to God, 'lie is'; then look at you r neighbor ;! Ild S'1.y. 'Thou arl'; last of all think of your ~ If and say, 'I am'. First God, then your neighbor. then yourself. That is the way to think and to live."

One who heard this story was so struck by the thought that he could not rest un­til he had found a Hebrew scholar .. ble to tdl him wh~tht:r Il wa:. U"ue twu nC;:\)1 ew ",.a1>S

TRANSFORMING A BOOTLEGGER In 1929 I W33 so sick the doctor gave me

up to die. I had stomach trouble for 25 or 30 years and T. B. of the bone in my left IC2". Some doctors said J had Neuritis, some said sore tendons and that it was caused by bad teeth. I went to the dentist and had my teeth examined and he found them in good condition. I still continued to suffer. I had been a bad man all of my life. I was born and reared a Catholic.

0ne day my boss told me about a religion that revealed the Bible from COver to cover, the Full Gospel. I took my family to a serv­ice. I was like many people today, T didn't believe. But something lingered in my mind and pulled at my heart strings and finally ! went to the alta r and was gloriously saved and instantaneously healed of aU of my afflictions. Praise God I

He took my bad habits away also, smoking, chewing, drinking, and everything the world forces On humanity today. But I failed the Lord a short time after I was saved and healed. I had some wine left in my ba~ement. I knew the Lord didn't want me to drink it, and not reali:r:ing at the time, there was any harm in !elling it , I ~:d three gallons: and in three days ti me all of my afflictions had returned. t told illY wife that my affli-ctions had returned. The answer I recc iva:l was "That's your OOot ­legging." I had no argument to make, but I AmSt that evenin.g and went to work. I Jrot on my knees and aska:l the Lord to shew me what I had done to displea ~e Him. I con ­fessed my guilt and asked forgiveness. I claim­ed the victory over all of my afflict ions through the blood of J esus that niJi:'ht at 12 o'c1oclc. I realize IIOW that drink is an agent of Satan and has no place ill my life since I found my Saviour.

I have also been healed o f hemorrhoids. I had a seed wart in the palm of my hand that caused great suffering and I tried everything for relief to no avail. One night I cut it open and it bled so hard I started for the Fint Aid Office for help. On my way, Jesus soolce to my heart, "T am your Physician, have faith in

D"eonl;er 5, 1936

},{e," Praise God I didn't go to the otfice. The bleeding cea!led and in the morning the wart was gone and never returned.

After receiving salvation and healing I re­ceived the Bapti~m in the Holy Spirit. Be· [ore I was saved, I could neither read nor write, hut one night I heard an e\'angelist say "the Holy Spirit can teach all things:' I en­deavored to read the Bible and little by little { succeeded, until today I am able to read it fr<lm cover to C<lver.

t praise the Lord today that I have that peace that passeth all understanding, and I al· so praise Goo our home is a Christian home,

After I heard about tithing I told my wife to tithe. She said, "\Ve have only twenty·five cents in the hou~e." I said, "Well. if the Bible says to tithe, give the twenty-five cents." That left us without anything in the house. Next day, Monday, I went to help a friend, not telling my wife where I was going. She got word that I was wanted on a job at once, so she set out to look for me. God sent her straight to where I was, although she had t<l walle three miles. I was surpri~ed when I looked up and saw her. She told me about the job and I hustled after it. I got it and have been at worle at that job now about four years.-G. W, Kovacic. 108 34th St., Ml)line, Illinois.

HEALED Or. HE.\RT DISEASE For five years I was a great sufferer from

heart disease, having to be in bed most of time. I could not walk f rOIll one room to the next, when I had a heart atla('k. The family thought I was passing away many times. and I felt mysel f to be a great burdcn to them. I had eight different doctors. None of them did me any good. I had Illy ton­sils and teeth and appendix taken <lut, sup­posedly to remove the cause, but all to no avail. One evening in November, 1933 the child ren came home from school saying there is a preacher holding a re\'ival in a school house. We went and listened to hi~ sermons for six weeks. ITe preached on Divine Heal­ing. The next February I went to meeting when I was having a heart attack. D. R. Miller was the preacher. lie and some sis­ter prayed for me. The pain left me at once. I had been unable to lie on my left side, but that night I lay down on my left side and fel! asleep. In the morning I was surprised to find I was still lying 011 my left side. It will be t\\'o years in February (next month) since I J1a \'e had a heart at­tack. I work hard every day and eat and sleep we l1.-Mrs. Fred C. Walz, Route 4, St. F rancis, Kansas.

h,t~ Ilt"t'll granted by lilt' ~I i<;sions Com­mittel' tn r-.I iss Mary Srhoonmaker for !>t'rVl("(' in India. \Vc hdievl' that her ga­in,!.!" to Ihe field at thi.. time will meet a vital need in the work there, especial­ly ill the office of the Di"'riet Secre_ t;try, M. L. Ketcham.

For some time our Brother Ketcham's min­istry Ull the field hils had to sufTer consider­ably because of the illcrea~ing duties of the district onice. ~[jss Schoonmaker will be able to take over a large part of the routine and correspondence in connection with the work 50 that our brother will be released to give much more of his time to direct evan· gelization.

~Ii ss S('hoOlllnaker is a competcnt stenog­mpher, having held a position ill our Gospel PublishinK Iiouse husiness office for the past several yellrs, and is also somewhat ac­quainted with the work in India through her mother, who has been a missionary there for many years. Iler father al~o labored many years for the Lord and finally laid do.wll his life there. Of the six childre n, )'11S5 lo.lary is the third one to return to the land of her birth under missionary appoint­ment, after being further educated ill the United States. Two of the remaining three are here in Springfield in Bible School and the other is ill Wheaton College.

Miss S('hoonmaker is sail ing from i\ew York City in Company with Mr. and ).{ rs. John Johnso n and family December 3. As has already been announ ced, Mr. and Mrs, Johnson arc rcturning to 111dia for their second terlll of lllissio llil ry scrvice, this time under Coullcil appointment, and will prob­ably lOcale at Hllpaidiba to assist ]o.lrs.

BEARING THE GOOD NEWS TO LIBERIA'S BUSH VILLAGES

Jennie W. Ca.rlaon

()h, the darknes .. , hopelessness and de­spair wltith have the pcople so bound! To­day T can hear the peol1lc wailing. A young man died early this tn()rning and his sistcr (ame from another town, running around, making all ,>orts of gestures and noises. Oth­trs arc making a weird and doleful sound, accompanied by all manner of motions and performances. Some of the men are busy making a coffill while the \\Oillell'S work is wailing.

Deiapo is a small tribe located not very far iTom our district headquarters so we would expect it to be far mare advanced in civilization, but this is not the case. I am the very first missionary who ever was here with thc exception of an African Methodist worker who came years ago but did not remain 10llg enough to make any impression on them.

A short lime ago we spent the night in Uoh. The powers of darkness we found there arc ind\.'"scribahle-ju-jus, large and small adorni ng the entrance; houses built fo r the idols and full of thelll; ill the center of town on an elev;"lted p lace, trees, little rock ~, growths of various kinds-what are these? More ju-jus, which the people firm­ly believe have power to keep them from sickncss and evil power as wei}, as to send rain and what not. But, thanks be to God \\ ho. evell in the midst of evil power, makes liS to know His banner of love is ovcr us I The peoille welcomed liS with cvery courtesy :ll1d nearly all of them came in to the meeting that night and listened very at­tenti\ely.

The lawn of the paramount chief was our next stop. Here the people looked at liS with great wonder and we cried to God to help us that we might be able to impar t to them the Word of Life and that Jesus , the Light of the wodd, might come into their lives. As we gathered from time to time fo r scrvice we were happy to sce the interest. At first some hesitated and stood outside during the se rvice, but little by little they gained coufidence and came nearer. .\ fler staying four days we went on to another place ca.lled Cetu, where we found the same sad ~tate. The gospel of J esus Christ wa!'i entiroly unknown to them. It was our pri\·ilege to give them the gospel for the first time.

Kearly two weeks had passed so we tu rned Our \\ay homeward, taking the rOllte toward XeTicampo, the place where God has graciou.;ly takell out a number for Himself \\-ithin the la st two years. At the beginning they suffered much for their faith; st ripes and impri501ll11c;;:ts were their lot. Much prayer is stili needed for NcTieampo and r covet your i-nterest in their behalf.

VICTORY AT LAST Loi. S h e lton

\Vhen the great revival swe pt over this section oi l.iberia five years ago, therc was a ce rtain family in which God did a special work, most of the membe rs becoming bclie\'ers to some extent in that they dcsir­ed to !ea\'e the worship of their idols and trust in the living God. There ,,-as g reat rejoicing. especially amOllg those who re­ceived a definite expericllce of salva t ion , and of course the next thing in order was to make a bonfire of their personal idols an d fetishes. But in Africa it is doubly trtle that ·':\0 lll:ln liveth unto himself." J lere it is not the individual; it is the family o r the trihe that counts. There arc personal idols, family idols, village idols, and tribal idols, varying in price from 25c to $125.00, in this land where the prevailing wage is 12c per day for manual labor. 1 personally know of

families who h,l\e ~oll~ht 10 betroth wee little daughters {( men who \\ould pa\- the dO\\r)" price of $.30.00 immediattiv, ill 'order to invest that amount in a famil)" idol. The "falllily" oi cour:;e include). lather, mother, brothers, si~ter~, grandparenh, uncles, aunts, cousins-and surely the welfare of a score of persons is more important than a happy marriage of Olle dauJ.!htcr, and who kn · ws the di,a~tcr ami death). that may o\'l'rtake any falllily that docs nut have an idol strong eTloll~h to defend thl'lll aR"ainst the "witch people" who art' ~aid to have such mysterious and supernatural power!

After the membe rs of the famil\' abo\'e referred to had complet(,d the dc;tructioTl of their personal idols, they decided they would go a s tep further and dcstroy their family idols. lI ere they encountered strong opposition. The tlde r brother, in whose house th ey were kept, thought difTcrcnth·, J Ie \\"as slife they wcre il\\-iting trouble to their household and would ha \·e ~a\"ed them from their fo lly, and cvcn begged th em to bring their own idols to him to take care oi, sueh was his respect and lear of them. Howe\,er, there wa s an ove rw helm in g ma­jority againH him and so the much treasur­ed lumps o f clay mixed with various con · coctions frOIll the jungle, decorated with leopard's teeth, animals' ela \\ s, etc., were consigned to the flames.

But th ough th e cider brother \\as outvoted , he was not COIl\'inced of h is error. He wa s enraged indccd when the town idols were also burned. \Vhe n anyo ne tried to talk to him ahout th e Lord, he wou ld deliberately bcgin making so much noise him se lf, he cou ld not hea r what they sa id. \Vhcn the chief pcople ca me to th e mission house fo r any reason, he refused to cOllle with them, He was sure the whole town was crazy and that the missiona ries were to blame, lIe didn't intend to be influence d by them.

So it wa s that when one Su nday afternoon aft er we had begun the meeting in the church, an o ld man approached the door, vcry self con ~c iously strai~htened his shirt (evident ly it was the fir st lime he had wo rn o ne, and marched in with his hat on and took a front scat, we didn't even know he was this relative of <;eve ral of th e Christians, and we wondered who he wa s, It was not long though, until we learned Ihat hi s was a s!n­sick and h ungry soul. \Vhen opportumty wa s giv en for testimon ie s, he arose and em~ phatically stated tha t he had come to church to openly take his stand for God and begin to follow "God-way." \Vhen the altar ca ll was given , he came and prayed earnestly. but soon arose and informed us that he was goi ng after his idols, SOllie of the Christians accompanied him, and returned triumphantly hearing half a dozell or so Queer looking objects, one of which was worth $30.00 and had been in his IlDsses· sion for years, So there was another bonfire of idols by this one \\'ho de­cided to Pllt his trust in God. Later on we learned that for some months this man had been tormented by the demons he had sen·ed so well. Some­times he would hear a voice crying­"Catch him, beat him, kill him," and
