must bring the truth to the knowledge of the sinner.
Being Carried.
Oh, how is it that so many will continue to fuss and
f ume, and fret and fail, and falter and fall, or determine
_to walk having a hard time along life's slippery
pathway, when they could be "carried" safely along by a
tender, loving Father? We know and often repeat that
"He shall gather the lambs with His arn-is, and carry them
in His bosom" -next to His heart; but has He not also
said, "Even to hoar hairs will I carry you"? So that
there are none-from childhood to old age-but what can
nestle close to the loving heart of God- "carried" in His
arms:
" Safe in the arms of J esus,
Safe on His gentle breast."
...
0 weary heart, you are not able to walk alone.
Li ft up your arms of faith to your Heavenly Father and
ask Him to take you up into His arms and "carry" you.
Nestle close in ; rest struggle or get uneasy;
He knows. 0 His dear arms mean shelter and rest and
r efuge. Get into them. and be- " carried." -

A Vision of His Wounds.
The little group cif sad, disciples were
closeted together behind locked doors after the exciting
scenes of t he past three days - the1e together in their
sorrow; with the fear of the Jews in their hearts - when
there stood i!! their midst the risen Lord, who
m a t ender voice of re-assurance unto .them, "Peace
be unto you.' ' and then "He showed unto them His hands
and His side. '' - 0 marvelous change that such a vision of
His wounds then made in these sorrowing hearts- from
sadness to gladness; for "then were the disciples glad
when they saw the Lord." They knew their Lord by the
wounds He bore, and they knew that He was the same Lord
that had hung upon the cross, and had been laid in the
tomb; and they were glad because they now beheld Him
in His risen state- alive again. 0 thou risen Lord, those
nail prints and that riven side speak unto us of Thy fin-
ished work for us, and our hearts are glad. A vision of
those wounds brings and pardon, reconciliation
and restoration to a Father's love, purity and power
- through thy Pentecostal presence. 0, keep OUl' eyes on'
Thy sufferings and death, and make known Thy presence
as Thou . dost walk amongst us, filling our hearts with
gladness and assurance.

Evil of Fretting.
. Fretting ourselves becauRe <'f evil-doers will very
likely soon lead us into doing evil ourselves; yea, when
the fretting commences the evil commences, and we are
not very distant relatives of those whotn we are fretting
about. Notwithstanding it is forbidden in God' s word,
and we are warned against its evil, how prevalent it is
even among professing Christi'ans. It surely leaves its
de_adly mark upon every one who is guilty of it, for it is
a JOy-sapper and a peace destroyer. It unfits its victim
for any good in the world, and surely no sensible person
would desire them as a social companion. A "fretter" is
a pessimist of the deepest dye, and knows not the victories
of :faith, nor the joy of trusting If fretting would
only stop the evil-doer doing evil, there might be use for
him; but the evil-doer goes on unmoved by the fretting.
Oh, t he anguish of having to live with one of this class!
My brother, my sister, what kind of a time' are those
havi ng- who eat at the same table with you ?
Any one who refuse5 to be sanctifi ed !;hould never ask
a sinner to be conve1ted .
The Eternity of Hell.
The ver y word "Hell" should startle every sinner
-that hears it and arouse every that thinks about
it. Clear, definite, awful is the Bible teaching in refer-
e nce to it as an eterna l fact. Every sinner stands on a
trap-door to the eternal pit the bolts of which may be shot
back at any time and he be dropped into it with a wail
t hat would be lost in the "weeping a nd wailing" that
eternall y goes on there. Spurgeon has said:
'In hell t her e is no hope. They have not even the
hope of dying- the hope of being annihilated. They are
forever- forever- forever lost! On -every chain in hell
there is written 'forever . ' In the fires there blazes out
the word 'for ever.' Up above t heir heads they r ead the
word 'forever. ' Their eyes are galled. t heir hearts are
pained with the thought that it is 'forever. ' Oh! if I
could tell you tunight that hell would one day be burned
out, and that those wlw were lost mig ht be saved, there
would be j ubilee in hell at the very thought of it. But it
cannot is ' forever' they are cast intQ outer dark-:
ness. , ,
0. my unsaved f riend, who may read these lines,
quick to your knees, and plead with God for forgiv.eness, '
and so escape this awful eternity.

If all who hate would love us,
And all our loves were true,
- The stars that swing above us
Vvould brighten in the blue ;
If cruel words were kisses
/And every scowl a smile,
A better world than this is
Would hardly be worth while;
If purses woi1ld untighten
To meet a brother's need,
The load-we bear would lighten
Above the grave of greed.
If t.liose who ,\rhine would whistle,
And those who languish, langh.-
'l'he rose would rout the thistle,
'rhe grain ontrnn the chaff;
If hearts were only jolly,
If gtieving were forgot,
And tears and melancholy
things that !lOW are not-
Then Love would kneel to Duty,
And all the world would seem
.A bridal bower of beauty,
A dream within a . dream.
If men would ' cease to worry
And women cease to sigh,
And all be glad to bury
'\Vhatever has to die-
If neighbor spake to neighbor
._ As love ,of all,
-The rust would eat the saber,
The spear stay on the wall;
Then every would glisten,
And every eye would shine,
.-\nd God would pause to listen,
And life would be divine.

CARNAL ORGANIZATION.
JOHN S. KEEN.
)[ore than a quarter of -a century
ago. following more than a score ' of
years or reawakening on the doctrine
of entire sanctification, when for mu-
'tual helpfulness. and for the spread of
_ the precious "depositum" among a 11
saints. the holy people organized them-
selves into associations, and began to
hold conventions. the church papers
and pulpits raised a. strong and long
protest against additional organizations
in the church.
The contended the church was all
the organization we n eeded. To my
own knowledge two of these associa-
tions, whose- every was at-
-_tended with such awakening among .
sinners and_ backsliders, and such out-
pourings of the Holy Spirit upon saints
as I had nevet seen before, nor have
_J since, were 80 tenderly jealous of the
churdl as to hold a special to
consider this protest. And while these
men and women WOlild have given
Nazarene ' Messenger
their lives martyrdom rather thftn
to lui.\ce. done anything to soil the white
<>r tl!eir Lord's Bride, .th.!3Y f.elt
the protest was not solely on account
of the organized feature of the associa-
tion.
Nevertheless, in order to avoid of-
fepse these leaders laid asiqe the few
by-laws that had been adopted to keep
us in the "middle of the .road," and
to protect -the meetings from intr'nders
under the na1ne of holiness, and only
retained .an "executive commtttee" to
arrange the meetings.
'l'his gave us meetings without law.
and trouble without rem-edy; but did
not stop the protest. If \ve came neither
Pating nor drinking they protested; it
. they came eating and dl'inking they
protested.
As these associations held their con-
Yentions altogether in the churches at
of the pastors and members,
tlwy were dependent for calls for the
meetings, and as they existed only for
meetings, when calls ceased to come the
so called, not. The
pastors ai1d meuibers did not cease to
call for the "holiness convention'; be-
e a use they '''ere not in sympathy witl1
or did not feel the need or' them. That .
which eausetl the pastors to eease these
calls is known to Him to whom all
must render an aeeonnt.
But the cries, prayers, songs and
shouts of these conventions had hardly
died away till organizations, and or- .
ganizatiOJis ,\,ithin organizations, began
to spring np in- the <hurch, Hnd with
hut little opposition the General Con-
ference endorsed them.
The same . ptotest, with more ve-
hemence, came up against evangelists.
The opposition plead_ that all pastors
were evangelists. Men in the expe-
rience of perfect love who felt called
to the evangelistic work sought author-
ity of the church to enter the field. One
so wot:ked on the conviction (or
pathy) of his conference as to have
them memorialize the General Confer-
ence to make provision for the office
(calling, I prefer).
They intrusted it to one of the most
ready and gifted speakers of the whole
church (now a bishop) to present and
advocate it at the General Conference.
He was one of the annual conference'
delegates, hut the _ opposition to evan-
, 'gelists -was so in the General Con-
ference that .this man's repeated efforts
to get the floor were cried down: But -

BE STRONG IN LORD.,
0. F. GOETTEL.
It has been said that ''Weakness is a
spreading malady and strength a
spreading energy." According to this,
we give out or impart just what we are
to others. God has commanded ns to
be strong and no one has a right to be
weak when they realize that God 's
cor.iimands are lined with promises.
Yet a great many professors think, and
testify and preach that one -- must be -
weak and feeble as long as they are
het:e below. God has doomed no one
to spiritual weakness. It is our privi-
lege to be strong in the Lord. Not only

A GREAT NECESSITY.
One of greatest necessities of the
churclr is the need of more com-
prehensive thought. We ar e not un-
mindful of the need of an awakened
conscience. We are suffering much
from lack of good grolmd unto which
the truth may fall. But au awakened
conscience receiving the truth is very
liable to have the enemy sow in it tares,
and unless there is ability to see more
than one side, or one phase of a sub-
ject, the truth is likely to be choked
and become unfruitful. One of the
greatest of the clay in Chris-
tian work is that when men r eceive the
truth and begin a Christian life some
fanaticism or h eresy is sown and be-
cause of lack of clear thought, ot' in-
ability to grasp a subjeet in its en-
tirety or to see 1the different sides of
truth, or to apprehend the poison of
error, they lose balance, plunge
into the stream of error, and are soon
lost . to a Uhristian life and make ship-
wreck of faith. They do not in the
beginning violate their conscience, but
under the influence of error after a
time it loses its power, and they be-
come a derelict without God or with-
o.ut anything real of religious experi-
ence. We needgenerally in the church
and among the people a deeper, broad-
. er , profounder. knowledge of the "\Vord
of God. The general absence of . any
comprehensive knowledge of t he Bible
if! ,the r eason &o many who undertake
-to be Christians are l ed off into the
various . fanaticisms and false religions

says:
It.
"Pr esident !'Iadley, of Yale, gro"s
broader and more incisive with the
years. He began with high natural in-
telligence and- while some of his earl-
ier utterances were not sufficiently
,gn,arded-from year t.o year, as was the
case with President Eliot. he has been
mpre and more recognized as both a
broad and deep thinker. Speaking at
John Hopkins University last week , he
said that the tendeney to <>arly speciali-
zation has r esnlted in making college
boys expert, to the exclusion
of leading ideas and principles need e<l
at stage of their career s. He gave
example: ' .Professionalt men, who
do not. happen to be physi (,ians, and arc
" ithont general information of the r<-
(ent developments in medicine. may in
sickness resort to ,pat t:> nt medi cines m
to the latest faith cure.' some of the
most educated 111.en we know are the
most ignorant men we know. Some of
them are at the mer cy of any 'promo-
ter,' and have used up t.lwir own and
t heir wives' money. Some of thmn arc
faith curists, and others Cluistian
Sc.ientists, and bvo or three are Rpirit-
ualists. Commenting on Presi<lent Ila<l-
l<:>y's addrPss, a writer in the 'l' imPs
brings up the faet t hat John Mi l ton
mainta ined that t.he student should first
gain a universal insight into t hings lw-
fore entering upon his ear eet. This
n lso is t ruth. "
Tf we could have gi eater intellige nc'
and cl earer thought, we woulcl have flit' .
l ess of t he fanatieisms and paganir.e<l
pretenses of Uhristianity. \Ve helie\' <!
that as a rule the knowl edge of the
word of God is relatively far more .sn-
perfieial . in the church and mn<"h l<>ss
general outsi de, than a quarter of a
century ago. It is out of the puhlif
schools, is only ineffecti vel,v 1 aught to
a small fraction in t h e Srinday schools,
and more and 1nore the people are un-
el}urch ed, and where they do not attend
church it is !)ftel) the case that the Bibl e .
is .little taught; s
0
that it is a
l ess and less known book among us.
This opens the way for the atbHks of
CHRISTIAN' UNITY .
'l'he Saviour evidently earnestly de.
sir.ed the unity of His diseipl es. lie
lingered long over -the matter in His
great intercessory 1>rayer: "That t hey :

the presence of that love which hnrr1ed
in the Saviour's heart, as He said "The

Christ unity is not oneness of thought

ttnity of divine love that hinds heart to

Sabbath last was a day of victory at
the Grand Avenue Church; God's
blessing being on the services through
the day. Six new rriemberf'; were
received into church memberseip.
Brother Irick writes f rom Upland:
''Sunday was a great day he1:e. Sal-
vation at all the three services. There
Will be an all-day meeting on Friday.
All who can, come and help us g ive
this church.a spiritual boost.

. COMPTON AVE. CHUHCH.
Sabbath morning was a union serv-
ice of Sabbath-School and Church; it
was the largest congregation om:: pas-
tor has ever preached t o in Compton
Ave. Church, extra chairs and gall er y
being used. The text was, "Little
children, keep yourselves from idol s."
Sister Knott harl Shinto idols, Buddha
. idols, and American idols, the latter
consisting of a goodly selection of
9
pipes, cigars, . plugs . and smoking
tobacco that had been surrendered at
our altars. These illustrated her ser-
mon, which was one that the Holy
Spirit used to bring conviction on
l\ea.rts. At the altar callmay precious
children came and were born again.
As a church we believe in getting; the
children converted -and saved to God.
At night . the church was crowded
with riew people, Sister Knott again
preaching to the unsaved. Bro. Flan-
ig_an could not help telling how he had
been to the church for two weeks and .
under such conviction that he could
hold .out no longer. Two adults were .
saved. v. J. J .
