A Helping That Hinders.
The reason why we are not realizing God's mighty
deliverances more is that we are resting too much on
human dependences. To depend upon the human when
the Lord has clearly marked out His way and made a
promise thereto, is simply to frustrate His purpose. We
are so apt to help the Lord, and then take the glory that
belongs to Him, forgetting that ''no flesh shall glory .in His
sight." Sometimes in our shortsightedness we think that
some things must be be done. The only thing to be done
is to get rid of human dependences arid trust God to bring
things to pass. Paul, before he and his company were
shipwreckecl on the Island of Melita, had some difficulty
in teaching the captain and crew this lesson. God had
promised Paul t}lat none of the ship's company should be
lost and the only way to have this accomplished was to get
rid of even the means of escape that they would naturally
cling to; first the anchors were left in the sea, and seem-
ingly they were left to drift helplessly. Then the boats
were cast that seemed to be a very foolish
thing to do. Then the very means of support - the wheat
-was overboard. But in this helpless condition
-stript of all human dependences...;.God landed them safe.

His Account.
A prominent and effective holiness evangelist, who
has now retired from that field of labor, said to the writer
. at one time: "As a holiness evangelist, all that I have
exacted or expected to receive for my services above my
needs the Lord has taken from me, so that I am no richer
today than I would have been if I had given Hhn His due.
Now this brother was in constant demand, with more
than he could fill, and therefore had an opportunity
and necessity of choosing his fields, and naturally chose
plaees which would yield the largest offerings.
T.he point that our brother desired to make was the lia._bil-
ity of evangelists yielding to the temptation of recoin-
pense, rather than looking to the spiritual possibilities in
'- less remunerative field. The evangelist is a hard-work-
. Illg man, and for the sake of his calling has to deny
fmself the comforts of home and family, and therefore
jil.ould be well paid in addition to his traveling expenses.
It is impossible, however, for "the poor" places to have
.
gospel preached to them, '' for they are unable to
._eet the heavy expenses entailed by some evangelists;
d if they attempt it, the pastor suffers loss and other
cflurch expenses run behind. This does not allude to
lihndreds of consecrated. ones who simply '' take what
tb.ey can get." Brother, do not overdraw your account.

THE LODGE AND THE cauRcH.
EDWARD F. WALKER, D.D.
"I was atthe lodge, Surely nothing
could keep me away from prayer meet-
ing but the lodge. ' ' These words I
heard from the lips of a "Near-Chris-
' the night, in answer to the
chidings . of a .brother church member,
because of. the absence of the speaker .
from the mid-week prayer meeting.
Such words evidence some real interest
in the chprch, if not the cause of Christ;
but they betoken greater interest in the
lodge-indeed that only the lodge meet-
ing was esteemed above the church
meeting, and more, it should be so.
The tone with which the words were
spoken, indicated that the preference
ought to be accepted without question.
As a matter of fact good lodge mem-
bers, .who are also church members, gen-
treat the church .as of less con-
sequence than the lodge; and their loy-
alty is supreme to the latter. But no
real Christian can maintain such an at-
titude. He prefers Jerusalem above his
chief joy, and gives to the Church his
supreme allegiance. He sings:
"For her my tears shall fall ,
For her my prayers ascend,
To per my cares and toils be given,
Till toils and cares shall
It is certain that the perfect Chris"

THE PASTOR INDISPENSABLE TO THE
CHURCH.
God so ordain.ed it. The church can-
not live without the pastor. He is as
indispensable as is the teacher to the
school. Nor can a migratory evangel-
ist. or any number of them, supply the
place. The moral and spiritual welfare
of the congregation demand the con-
tinued presence of the man who is con-
secrated to this office. And while inti-
mate acquaintance will reveal some
.qualities in the pastor that may not be
likable and while the faithful discharge
of his duty may force him to give
wholesome advice to h is .parishioners
which they may not relish, after all he
is indispensable and the church can-
not li ve without him. The man who

where I am .spending several days visit-
ing a daughter and .her family; I stop-

holiness people there were holding a
meeting in a big tent in the city park.
The meeting was in charge of Rev.
Geo. Church, a Methodist, who is "out
and (significantly) out" for holiness;
and Sister D. A. Brewer, who, as a
Presbyterian and wife of a ruling elder,
got sanctified . under my ministry sev-
eral years ago. Sister Brewer. is now
very successfully doing the work of an
evangelist.
Our people, headed by the . very ef- -
ficient leadership of their pastor, Rev.
J. F. Harvey, are in the forefront of,

at this meeting, and-bless His name
forever !-He _gave salvation fruitage.
One was sanctified while I "spake the
word,'' and several ' 'got through'' at
the altar.

The home of the Pentecostal Church
'of the Nazarene in Seymour is of ce-
ment blocks, is beautiful and
dious, and (a good sign of faithfulness)
is popularly known as ''brimstone cor-
ner." \Vould that more church houses
were worthy of such a cognomen.

"WHAT OF THE NIGHT?"
The people who look for signs of the
times can, in these days, see almost any-
thing which they desire. The op-
timist and the pessimist alike have
many signs to look to and by which
each may be strengthened in his
thought. What the conditions really
indicate of the future may be difficult
to tell. Some things in the preseU:t .
seem certain. There are doubtless
more holy people in the world than
ever before, at least in modern times.
.Jesus Christ is more widely preached.
The Vvord of God is much more gener-
ally disseminated among men. . The
barriers between nations are more
broken down, and the sense of kinship
among the peoples more general. The
incentives to war are less, and to peace
are greater. While oppression in vari-
ous forms still remains, and survives
in hideous way:s, still in many forms it
has passed aw.ay.- Education is far
more general, and human liberty much
more extended. The races of men never
had so many comforts, nor as . great
possibilities. Nevertheless, the great
multitudes are without God and lmow
little of real righteousness. In what
are called Christian lands, people of
real piety are a small fraction. \Vorld-
liness, the trampling down of the Chris-
tian Sabbath, disregard of all of the
claims of truth, absence of the sense
of responsibility to recognized truth,
pleasure-loving and earth-seeking, are
the general conditions. Few find the
Nazarene Messenger-
narrow way, and the vast multitudes
throng the broad way of sin and death.
What the times indicate, may be
hard to tell. It may be worse than
foolish, it may be classing ourselves
with a wicked and adulterous genera-
tion to seek after a sign.
When the . voice. of God broke forth
to Israel. in Babylon, calling them to
arise and cast up the highway and _re-
turn to their 9wn land, God gave to
them no sign that the time had come,
or that He would bring them in safety.
There was His call, His word. He called
attention to Himself. If they got their
eyes on Him, and knew who Jehovah
was, that was enough. If He called
they could go; if He led they could but
succeed.
so- God calls the church of the holy
people to look unto Him. The dashing
waves, the tumultuous billows, the
tramping multitudes, will but confuse.
If God calls us, if He says ''Arise and
be luminous,'' if His word is to go
forth and conquer, one look at His face
is enough to assure us of certain vic-
tory. The call is, to look unto Him, to
know the infinitude of His grace, the
efficiency of His blood, the power and
glory of His own personal presence,
and to hear Him say, ''Lo I
you, go ye therefore,'' to give assur-
ance of victory. Difficulties, obstacles,
foes, all are as nothing. God's call is
unto victory, His .command is certain
triumph. It may not look so, but we
look not at things which are seen,. but
at the infinite verities. Obedient trust
in God allies us with the eternal throne,
and makes us fellow warriors with the
Conqueror from Bozra. God and holi-
ness never fail. We are forever united
with Him, and His glory is our des..:
tiny.
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE LECTURES.
Mr. Frederick W. Peabody, LL.B., of
the Boston Bar, is delivering a series
of lectures at Blanchard Hall in this
city this week. . We have not yet heard
him, but it seems as if he has a message
to the many people who seem inclined
to run after that monumental humbug
and delusion. Of ..him his lectures
the New York Times says:
. I
"Mr. Peabody has gone deep and far
into the history of Mrs. Eddy and of
the healing system which, for purely
commercial reasons, she calls hers.
l\fnch of this history is familiar to
many, but not a little is new to most,
and it i:;; all supported so carefully by
the citation of authorities, by the pre-.
sentation of evidence supplied in the
[August 5, 1909
woman's own forgotten letters, poems
and articles, by the paralleling of her
discoveries with the lucubrations of -the
teacher whom she now repudiates, that
the whole at least puts upon every
'Chrisian Scientist' the obligation either
to refute these heaped-up accusations
or else to abandon their allegiance
the Concord prophetess. There is abso.
lutely no middle ground. Either Mr.
Peabody-is the most shameless of cal-
umniators, or Mrs. Eddy is the basest of
charlatans. And Mr. Peabody expresses
an eager readiness to have this question
submitted to any test. His charges rnn
the whole gamut from attempted mnr.
der to accomplished theft, with endless
Jying scattered all along in betwecn:
They ale not vague, but definite, and
every one of them can be settled trne
or untrue. Why do the Eddyites waitt
The courts of arc open
and until Mr. Peabody is a ronvietcd
slanderer no sane and decent person,
man ot woman, can afford to give any
countenance to Christian Sr.ience."

THE UNITY OF THE BIBLE.
The Bible is a unit. One thought
pervades it from Genesis to Revelation,
One dominant purpose underlies prop.
hecy and history, parable and poem.
Although it took sixteen hundred years
to write the Bible, and although pl'r-
haps forty human writers, representing .
all degrees of social life, intellectual
culture, and spiritual attainment, were
employed in this sacred composition;
still a complete unity marks the entire
book. There is, indeed, a great differ.
ence between the Psalius of David and
the Epistles of Paul; but it is the dif.
ference between the moon showing ns
a crescent of her disk, and the moon in
the fullness of her beauty; it is the dif.
ference between the gray dawn of the
morning and the splendor of noondny.
One thought pervades the Book as the
diapason pervades, unifies and dom
inates a great oratorio ..
.The unity of the Bible, considering
the manner of its human origin, is one
of its great . wonders and one of its
August 5, 1909]
divine beauties. If we deny its divine
inspiration, it seems impossible to ac-
count for its . historic and spiritual
unity. The charm of this unity grows
upon us the more we study the sacred
records. This unity is internal rather
than external, esseQtial and not acci--
dental, spiritual rather than merely lit-
1eraty.
It is delightful to note this unity in
the harmony which. marks considerable
sections of the Bible. The first three
chapters and the last three chapters of
the Bible show a harmonious unity to
a rPmarkable degree. Those who have
studied these six chapters with
the thought of their harmony in mind,
will be' surprised and delighted at its
discovery. In the first thr ee
of Genesis we have the first heaven
and t he first earth ruined by t he sin
of man. In the l ast three chapters of
revelation we have an account of a new
heaven and a new earth, the tabernacle
of God being with men. In Genesis we
had the victory of the tempter; in
Revelati on we have his utter overthrow
and })is eternal doom. In that first sec-
tion in Genesis we had paradise lost ;
in this last section of Revelation we
have paradise r egained. In the first
sect ion of Genesis we had . Adam with
his new-found bride, and both of them
tempted and f allen; in the last section
1
of Revelation we have the second Adam
with his . holy and blessed bride, the
church, forever safe and glorious. In
the earlier section we have death and
misery. In the later Scripture we have
life and f elicity.
In the beginning of the New Testa-
ment, as in t he beginning of the Old
Testament, we had the holy and
blessed manuel, God with us ; and
in Revelation, the crowning joy of t he
redeemed in their consciou!;mess of
God's presence, their rapturous realiza-
tion of God 'Once agaill" as Immanuel.
This presence is the grand consumma-
tion, the glorious triumph, the blessed
victory won by the ''Strong Son of
God. "-Robert Stuart MacArthur, in
The Watchman.

The aiinual picnic of the Sunday
School of the First Church of this city
was held at the Eastlake Park on Thurs-
day of l ast week. There was a goodly
number who spent most of the day
there. It gave opportunity for some
social life among .the older people and
thete was seeming gladness in all
hearts. Real Christian f ellowship is

DISTRICT FINANCES.
At Ure time of the Southern Califor-
nia District Assembly t her e were a num-
ber of churches which did-not f eel r eady
to pledge a definite amount t oward the
district superintendent's salar y. They
expected, however , to do as much as
possible. would it not be a good plan
for sitch to set aside a little
each month for this fund. In t his .way
th.ey will not f eel any burden as they
would in trying to raise a lar ger sum
once for the whole year.
The other churches which pledged a
definite amount ought to be paying a
proportionate amount of t heir pledge.
We ought to pay at least one-fourth of
t h e sum in each quarter of the year. It
would be better if it could be paid
monthly, but perhaps that is too much
t o ask. Brethr en, our Superintendent
is in the field, doing our work. Let us
pay his sal ar y promptly.

PORTLAND, ORE.
God has been greatly blessing us since
we last reported to The Messenger. We
dismissed our services for two weeks
during the Oregon Holiness Association
camp meeting and a large number of
our p eople camped on the gtound and
helped to push the battle, and God gave
us a great victory. Some three hundred
souls bowed at the altar and many were
wonderfully ronverted and sanctified .
About $1700 was raised for missionary
purposes. four fie:ds being represented,
namely Alaska, lVIexico, India and
Africa. ...-\bout $700 was r aised for
running expenses, and all obligations
met. 'l'he Oregon Holiness
Association is a live thing. It is better
organized and equipped than ever be-
fol' e. They ha...-c called ReY. Bud Rob-
inson for the <'amp next year and are
praying and looking for great
victory.
Our peopl e take a ver y active part
in the association and the members of
the association stand by us loyally, for
which we praise God and press on to
victory. ''Behold how good and how
pleasant it is for brethren to dwell to-
gether. in unity."
Sunday was our first day home_ again
and God blessed us wonderfully aU day.
Souls prayed through at the altar both
morning and evening and the congre-
gations were the very best. Sister Flor-
ence who is home with us from
Seattle, for a short visit, led the young
people's meeting, where about fifty
. were present, and after a very gracious
time of comment on the lesson, songs,
prayers and testimonies, about thirty
or forty young p eople lined up on the
street corner where a goodly number
listened very attentively to the many
songs and living fiery testimonies by
the young pe9ple, and a number fol-
Jowed and came to the church for the
e,ening sen ice, wher e the tide of praise
and prayer continued to flow and rise
until souls came running_ to the altar
and \Ye n ever had a chance to even an-
nounce our text. But it will keep . No
sermon was needed or wanted. God
had His way and souls were greatly
blessed. Some strangers who were with
us said in their testimonies that it was
. the warmest place they had found in
Portland and they enjoyed it very
much. Thus closed the first Sabbath
after the camp, a little after midnight..

MONROE, WASH.
It has been quite a while since \V'e
have sent . a repor.t to The Messenger.
Yet we ha.ve not been idle. God lias
blessed us greatly since the Assembly.
We had two weeks of special prayer and
scarcely a week has passed without
some souls seeking the Lord, either for
pardon or purity. Some have been
blessed. Satan seems to be trying his
best to hinder . in the work here. His
agents are seeking every conceivable
advantage to prevent the work of the
Lord. Yet we are having and expect
to continue to have victory in His name.
vVe had a good Sunday. 'fhree at
the altar seeking holiness.
John D. Cart, Pastor.
FROM NAOMI RUTH.
Writing to her parents, Miss Naomi
Ruth says:
'' There is a wonderful blessed sweet-
ness in this loneliness which I some-
times realize; for I see that the Lord
wants to bring me into complete uriion
with Himself until all that tendency in
me to rely on human props and friend-
ships is fully conquered. I am so thor-
oughly devouring and enjoying the
holiness papers, and how glad I shall
be when they begin to report the camp-
meetings. The dear Lord makes up to
me what I actually miss of good holi-
ness sermons, and that spiritual enjoy-
ment which is customary for us in the
homeland,-hy especially blessing what
I read, so that my books and papers
seem to contain in them much more for
me than formerly. This is so marked
that I do not question its being thus in-
spir ed to my h ea!t by the Holy Ghost.
lVIy hope is, not to have good things
said of me even by those of whom I
r eally am fond, but 'to do the will of
Him who sent me. ' My Life, my Light,
my Star, my Sun!' Praise His precious
name.
" This is such a charming place, and
I am enjoying it very much. We-
and expect nothing here except ever-
lasting heat and luxuriant plant life.
At present I am visiting in the coun try,
and living in a little, lonely house, 'girt
round and round. with mountains.' The
house is rudely put together of bamboo
and palmleaf roof, with floors of :rlain
planks, and nearly completely bare. The
house is raised on stilts, is small, and
looks just like pictures you have seen
of native buildings in missionary pa-
pers. I wish I could t ell you how beau-
tiful this countrY'- is! High mountain
peaks are all around us, with some
smaller, exquisite hills just in front of
them. They are clothed in rich green
and on the lower, nearer I can
detect tall palm trees waving on their
s ummits. In the valleys everything is
lovely and green; there being either for-
ests or terraced rice fields.
Each si d e of the roafl thickl y grown

A BOY'S DINNER.
Once a small boy went to a big out-
. door meeting and took his 'dinner. A
igreat many_ other people went and the
preacher talked to them a long time.
!They were glad to listen, for they liked
what He said bett er than any else
they ha'd ever heard, although they
could not always understand what He
meant, because they were not used to
that kind of .talk.
Another thing that made them like
to stay was because this preacher made
all the sick ones well as fast -as they
asked Him to. Some of those who
could not see He healed. And the
deaf ones heard,. and .. the dumb ones
could speak. So it was a wonderful
meeting. One time,.-whim this same
preacher held another meeting, the
people stayed three days without going
home to get anything to eat. Perhaps
they stayed that long this time, but we
are not told.
At last the preacher thought it was
1
time to close the meeting, but He did
not want to send the people away hun-
'gry, hecause they would be apt to get
1sick before they reached home. So he
!asked some men what to do about it
,and they did not know, but told Him
there was a little boy there who had
five biscuits and two little dried fish.
Now I am sure the boy had not thought
of asking all these people to eat dinner
with him, and I do not think he knew
what t he preacher wanted of the bread
when some one asked him for it. I am
,also snre this preacher did not take it
t he boy without asking him for
1t, ancl. not unless the boy was 'villing
for Him to have it; for I know of many
peopl e hqw who have things He could
nse. and :"ihen 'they do not want Him
to have them He dot>s not take t hem
away.
. So t i'Ji} boy let the _preacher have his
dmnr1. never thinl<ing what He would
do with it. He told some of the men
to t ell the hungry people to sit clown
on the : grass, for .. there .. was a lot .of it
Nazf!,rene :, Messenger
. ,' . . l. ... . . .
there. the preacher blessed the
bread and fish and began to break it
up, and somehow it kept growing and
growing unti,l there was dinner enough
for all the people there to eat all they
wanted to; and after they were through
they gathered up about twelve big
clothes . baskets full of the pieces that
were left.
Does this sound like a fairy story 7
Well, it is not, for the preacher was
Jesus, so it is all trqe. You can read
about it in John 6 :5-13. If you will
give your heart and what you have to
Him, He can help you to be of much
service also. A . J. "N.
MAKING OVER A DISPOSITION.
l\fost of yon girls know all about mak-
ing over dresses. The blue muslin
which was made for Aunt Betty, and
did not prove satisfactory, 'vould have
looked queer enough if you had tried
to wear it' just as it was given to you.
Shortening the skirt, and taking in the
seams, was not enough;-. It had to be
entirely made over, and thei1 it was
becoming imd serviceable. Do not think
that you must wear your disposition
just as it was handed down to yon from
a long line of ancestors. Make it over.
Leave out the spotted breadth. Throw
away the r agged part. Put 's-.nne new
material with it. It is a s1range thing
. that any girl should be williHg to take
more pains making over a gown, than
in making over a disposition.

THE JOY OF O-BEDIENCE.
Perfect obedience to the whole will
of God is perfect joy happiness.
We often seek for f eelin a wonder
why )Ve . d.on 't feel the joy f tl1e Lord
as in days of yore; hence we agonize
in prayer with great distress, pleading
for feeling. We forget that joy can. be
obtained only as we obey, and all our
is in vain unless we perfectly
submit and obey the whole will of God.
The same ''yes'' to all His will w4ich
brought the joy when He first saved us
is the only way whereby we may keep
the joy. "As ye have Christ
J esus, SQ walk ye in him." \Ve walk
with Him only as we obey Him. ''Be-
hold, -to obey is better than sacrifice."
- - G-od-- is calling-for-obedient- soldiers;
those who will work for Him willingly:
Never do we receive His blessing when
we are all the time murmuring or com-
plaining-not service of duty, but a
service of love.-Selected.
BOUND TO THE WORLD.
t ell us that in capturing the .
whale the boat's lines sometimes become
entangled with the flukes of the fish so
-as to join the two together. When this
happens, all depends on instant action . .
These lines must be severed or the
whole boat's crew will 'be drawn to the
boUNn by prowess- of the monster.
But one. thought possesses all, and that
is to finq and cut every rope that ties
. them to th.eir enemy. So it is that the
lines of carnal desire bind us to . the
world. Sometimes there is but one;
sometimes there are many. Sometimes
they are plainly in view ; sometimes
they are hidden from any but the clos-
est search. But 'few, or many, visible
or hidden, they must be all searched
out and severed, or the soul is dragged
. downward to death.
LOVE :FOR GOD.
God cares more about how his crea-
tures feel toward him than any service
they can render. The perfections of
His being lift Him above necessity or
d ependence, but He is deeply concerned
that intelligent beings should cherish
right dispositions. The great. command
is, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God!'
The highest service is unacceptable un-
l ess inspired and accompanied by love
for Hiniself. A seraph's song would
degenerate into a chilling musical per-
formance, if q cold, unloving heart lay
back of it.
The melody of affection sweetens
many a cr ack ed voice, and atones for
many a vocaf discord. Both are better
than . the most exact nmsical perform-
ances without love and faith.
"Love is the .fulfilling law, " .
in both the letter and the spirit, and
_contains in itself the inspira*ln to obe-
di ence .. An can render this most ac-
ceptable service, : Capacity be lim-
ited, and . circumscribed,
b.ut there . is unlimited freedom nere.
T.he heart can pour out its richest
ures when the hands are denied the ser-
vice they would gladly render. The
spirit ennobles the endeavor. Jesus
lifted the smallest service to sublime
heights when he said, ''Whosoever shall
give you a cup of water, be-
cause ye Jjelong-to Christ, verily I say
U:nto -you, he shall not lose his reward."
'frue love does its best, and adds itself.

REV. C: L. SHELBY, PARIS, TEXAS, says :-"I consider 'Pentecostal Songs
of the Nazarene' the best Song Book we have ever had. It is especially
adapted for revival work. It contains about forty new songs that have never
c!>me to us before, as well as a choice lot of old, tried There is a suffi-
Cient songs so will find no difficulty in taking the
book right up m your church meetmgs. I would especially call attention to
No. 10, Brother Martin's 'Glory Song,' No. 116, 'It's Real 'and No.
120, 'The Year of Jubilee. ' This is the song the New England giJ::Is sung at
the General Assembly. Also No. 136, 'Mounting Up.' This No. is one of
the sweetest songs I have ever heard. These four songs alone are worth
more than- the price of the book. It is just the book you need for your sum
mer meetings."
