The Duty of Joy.
We fail to see the strength of a thing when we look
at it in the light of a privilege only, when it is a defiinite
command or necessity. No one will deny that "in every-
thing" we are to "give thanks;" yet it is just as essential
that we "rejoice evermore." If Christianity means al)y-
.thing it means victory, and victory is always accompanied
with joy. Revival times are always times of joy, because
times of victory. The Psalmist understood this when he
said: "Wilt thou not- :11evive us again, that thy people
may rejoice in thee?" Joy is not only a Scriptural com-
mand, but it is a divine element, being tbe "joy of the
Lord," and is not only the Christian's '3trength, but it is
"full of What an angelic sight would it be, and
what an inspiration to the messengerof O.od, to see before
him on a Sabbath morning a multitude of faces beaming
with holy joy-surely it would be like a resurrection morn.
Joy in this world of sorrow is like_ bursting
through the clouds on a wintry day. Oh, beloved, the
world is waiting for a buoyant, happy, joyous company of
people. Will you be one? .

In those who s ay they have to sin a little every day

Called to be Buffeted.
This is not a very pleasant occupation to enter, yet
the Lordcalls us to it. Peter, speaking of those who are
buffeted for their faults, said that: they had no reason to
complain, for it is their O\\ n fault ar.d they ought to ''take
it patiently;" "but if, when we do well and suffer for it,
ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. -For
even hereunto were ye called." Jesus was our great pat-
tern of patience, under buffetings, for "when- he was
reviled, rt:viled not again,,, and "threatened not those who
caused his To be buffeted means to be knocked
about, to be struck at, to be opposed and persecuted, and
we say again this is not to the flesh a very pleasant occu-
pation. Yet to this we are called, and are to conduct
ourselves under it as our Lord did, for he left us"{' 'an
example. "if The majority of Christians who "Jive boly
lives in Christ Jesus" will have ample opportunity .of put-
ting in full time in this "calling," and will have all the
material they need to practice patience on-both in and
putside_ the ''household of faith.'' ''calling'' needs
)!omethmg more than a surface religion; it needs

We believe that some of the greatest triumphs in
Christian's life are to be had on this line. 0 beloved,
et us not shrink from the butfetings, but "take it
patiently," if it is the 'of "doing well."
Power of God."
: This, we are told in Romans 1:16, is . the Gospel of
lesus Christ. This forever establishes. the preciousne!!s
pf it, the power of it and the permanency of it. It is from
God, through a holy Person, for a holy purpose.
is a gospel of realities, not theories; of faith, not doubt;
gospel that millions have put to a practical test and have
come. out triumphant. While it deals with the most awful
thing in the world -sin- its victory joy are in a com-
plete salvation from it. Man naturally is very far gone
(rom God in nature and practice, and "a power that can
4Pange his mind, so that the current of his thoughts
ijJ altogether different; that changes .his heart, so that be
/:eels different; and changes his life, so that he acts dif-
(erent, must come-from a source'ohtside of himself, and .
a Being. who is loving in character and omnipotent
1\S well as loving." Brother, has this power bad a fair
chance at you? If uot, surrender now, for it is "unto
every one that believeth."
Radical Beginning.
We cannot be too radical against sin; neither shou.ld
lose any time in dealing with sin in a radical manner
. Self-interest, popularity;' or gain should not be considered
V{'hen we are called to deal with that which is God's enemy
a'Pd ours. Jesus, at the very beginning of His ministry
showed that He was impelled by righteousness rather than
by popularity. He did things which turned the nilersand J
nrominent people against Him. When lie cast out the
'I
and sellers from the Temple (John 2: 15), He
!fhowed a deli berate purpose in it, for He "made a scourge
of small cords." There was drastic trt'atment of the sin
. '
in every twist of the cords- He did not make it
t6. play with. When He got ready He engaged in some
v.ery aggressive Gospel work, "He drove them all out."
Ii. was a grand opportunity for Him to have compromised
(_iittle and have secured some of the money for th'e Tem-
ple service, but touched not the "tainted" thing, but
out the changers' -money.'; .But not satisfied
with this, He made havoc of their business, and "over-
threw the tables." 0 bel9ved,-let us give sin no quarter
at any time, for any pun><>se. The only safe
tl\ing is to have it destroyed by the precious blood-now.

this number in the near future. Among
this number are four licensed preacher s.

The I,ord has given us a gootl year
h ere. I have held two meetings in
which there were about seventy pro-
f essions, a C')nstant r evival spirit being
maintained throughout the year. We
have two dnors to the front
nnd hacl{; both have been used. We
have r ecei ved thirty-four new mem-
bers and lost about five I think. Elec-
tric lig hts have been installed and new
seats will he secur<.>d soon. Last Sun-
day was a great day. the ser vices wer e
owned of God, one sanctifi ed i n the
morning service, which was
by Sr. Hendricks of the Church of God.
I preached at night nncl a fine altar ser-
vii'P. followed in which one was sancti-
fied and two saved, after which a class
of nine were rec.eivcd into the church.
On our way from to our
next meeting. which was at 'Vhctst.one,
Ky., we stopped off nt Highway for a
few days' meeting. the sper.ial object
of the meeting was to arrange for the
organization of a Nazar ene chnr<:h.
They have a holiness hand or sotiety
but have felt that this was not suffi-
cient , they have been branded aa

people who want a church. God is in
this move. We get blessed nearly out
of ourselves when we talk on the
church. Many sought God in the
days' meeting; some were saved and
sanctified. We. are getting many ralls;

Brother and Sister Gay made it a pleas-
ant trip for Mrs. Bresee and myself.
We had a happy surprise at the depot
at Chicago in meeting Brother and Sis-

Langley and Miss Martha-a graduate
of the Deet 's Pacific Bible College of
class 191}9- who were on their way to
Los Angeles, where they will certainly
meet with. a most hearty welcome from
many N azarenes-also their two sons
who had them from their
Illinois home thus far on their way.
W.e had n little time of happy greet-
ings.
We a rrived here at 11 p. m. and
. found a goodly company of Nazarenes
awaiting us at the depot. After the
glad band-shaking, we were taken
abiding places, we having the pleasure
of stopping with our dear friends Bro!

formalities which paralyze all spiritual
forces are upon us.
All of these and all of the powers of
darkness may be _conquered by the
power of the Holy Ghost. The enemy
has uo agencies forces which we can
not over come by the power of grace.
"Vve overcome him by our faith and
t he blood of the Lamb." There is no
. question of the sufficiency of God to
make us more than conquerors. The
Servant '"shall neither fail nor be dis-
couraged, till H;e ha've set judgment in
the earth." The one only
cause-whieli brings defeat , is in our-
selves. When ali w.hieh pertain

I look back upon. t he faih;res in this
work of the Pentecost al Church of ihe
Nazarene-and there have been some_:_
and find that .ahnost without exception
the center of the cause has been the
. preacher who bad the matter in cha rge.
Sometimes doubtless the battle has been
hard and condi t ions have seemed
against him; but no man or cause ever .
fails be<.'ause of these. The lack of un-
selfishness, devotemerit and courage, a r-
dor and especially faith in God, have
led to surrender and failure.

and his wife Martha, 57 Flower str eet,
New York Valley. .
Pastor Walker preached morning
and Iiight, and delivered a brief mes-
sage at 3 p: m.
The morning theme was ''The Real
Revival." This is essentially a revival
of faith in the Son of God; for ''this is
the work of God that ye believe on him
whom he hat h sent." Whatever out-
ward demonstrations may present
or absent, there is no legitimate revival
of God's work where there is not real
increase of faith in Christ, and where
there is revival of such faith God's
work is necessarily advanced. But this
faith always brings real, practical, sal-
vation's results. Instances: J ustifica-
tion, r egeneration; sanctification, heav-
enly-mindedness and holy joy-all con-
. ditions on faith in J esus. There is in
the congregation real heart -cries for
such a revival.
In the afternoon the text was Rom.
14 :17 : "For the kingdom of God is
meat and drink; but, righteousness
and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Testimonies rolled, and earnest seasons
of prayer engaged the Lord's people.
At night the again preached
"the great salvation," the
dreadfulness . of the abominable thing,
as illustrated by God's eloquent type
-the dread malady of leprosy.
All day, from early morning till late
night there was much earnest pray-
mg from hearts deeply concerned for
the work of God in our midst.

at the morning service at Grand Ave-

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DISTRICT.
It my privilege to be at
the opening service of the' tent meetings
near. Elysian last Wednesday
evemng and to have some part in the
opening of this meeting, which under
God is. to be a very precious campaign
for souls. Bro. Chenault wit4 the pas-
tor and church at Elysian Heights will
make a strong team, and under the
manifest blessing of God will be able
to pull almos.t any load. The tent is
well situated and the brethren have it
well arranged for this meeting.
We opened fire in Downey Sunday
with a fine attendance for
such a warm afternoon as it was in the
tent .. There. was a much b_etter hearing
at mght, w1th some mamfest interest.
The.re seems to be a very great need of
an old-fashioned revival in this town.
Let all 9ur friends .pray for .this meet -
ing.
This is one of the oldest settled dis-
in Southern California, and as it
might be expected, various denomina-
ti.ons are represented here. TherE!
seems to be a strong fraternal spirit-
among the different church, which is
very commendable. While some of the
buildings look somewhat aged yet there .
is a spirit of progr.essiqn among the peo-
ple, and the community is known as a
rich farming and fruit growing district.
The people are very much interested in
all t he things pertaining to t his life; but
the great need' is to get their attentiCin
world to come. 0 , for a real r('-
vival ; . heaven born, sweeping c:ver y-
thing before it. 0 Lord, send a
right 1!he heart of Downey.
The w'ork on the district .among the
is moving along grandly and
the Lord is givmg JJOme ';'ery pre'cions
.l!leasons of r.evival inter.est. Just iiow
.the Ontario church is enjo.ying a gra-
cious.yvork of grace under the .labors of
Bro: H';lmphrey assisted by Evangelist
St. Clair . ?asadena is
0 ctob er 28. ' 19091
w:l\ with Bro. Wilson as their l eader.
Wit.h such a man with liis strong evan-
gr.! istic s pirit we may expect good news
f,>m this center at an early date.
r was with t he Whittier people last
1\fonday night, and found t hem in vic-
tory and triumph. Bro. Fluck is to
devote nll his time to t his ;work, and
t.IH' outlook is go.od for a revival this
fnll and winter. In fact they are hav-
ing snlvati bn nearly every week right
no.w. hut nrc expecting greater things
in the ncar f uture.
Thl"re are wi thout doubt many needy
fields where holiness has not been
pushed to the front as it should be, and
must be ; with t wo tents in t he field we
ought. to be able to reach some of t hese
placrs. There are many of our people
scattered in towns where a meeting
nlong the line of full-salvation would
lw a great blessing. Nazarenes, you
must let your light shine, and if you
would like a meeting in your town
where holiness is not preached, write
th1 District Superintendent, J . W.
Goodwi n, i 30 Sun P edro street, Los An-
g1 ll>S. He can tell you how to have a
mc-ctiug. Try it.

INGRATITUDE.
As Geraldine Hopper was standing
on the r ailroad platform at Norfolk,
England, her attention "as called to a
gamekeeper. standing on the other side
of t he li ne. with 'a dog by him. The
man had the r eputation of being an-- ir-
r eligious character. She quickly
crossed the line, went up to him, and
stroking his four-footed friend, said
cordially. "\\"hat a beautiful dog you
have her e!"
"Yes, " said the man, rather gruffly ;
''but take care he doesn 't bite you. H o
is not partitnlarly fond of strangers.,.,.
"Oh. Ill' won't bite me. Dogs know
who fltc fond of t hem. 1lonbt yon
Ill"<' fond nf l1im? "
"Tlat. I am."
''Do yon feed your dog?''
" "Yes, m11
" Honse him?"
'' Yes, of course.' '
'Does Yonr do a obcv your wo1d or

"And yon would he disappointed if
he di d not Joye and ohcy you?"
" 'l'ha t J should;" then looking
proudly H t It is dog, "hut Rover does
love his master, '' and he patted t he
dog's h<ad as it looked up trustfully in
his face.
"\\T onhl yoi1 be he grieved if he fol-
lowed a stranger 1"
"Y cs,:' he r eplied, ra.ther impatient
at so many questions.
"Ah!" said she, in a sad, t ender, re-
proaching tone, "you sin-
' loved .. Y0\1, that He gave His only be-
Son to die on t he cross for your
sins, and yet you ltave never loved Him
in return ! You follow a stranger , Satan
is your chosen master. The dog knows
its owner-you know not yours I Truly
it may be said of you, 'Tl.e .CX know-
eth its owner, and the ass his master's
crib: but I srael doth not know, my
people doth not consider.' ''
She looked sadly, yet kindly at him
as she earnestly uttered t hese words.
His eyes filled with tears, he fixed t hem
on his dog. and-in a choking voice said,
" Ah ! Rover, Rover! t hee llrs taught

THE RICHEST QUALITY OF. LOVE.
The richest quality of love is sacrificf!,
and the noblest credential of any work

down at J esus' and counts all
t hings loss for Christ; which l10lds its
money, its friendships, its life, all sub-
servient to the Master's claim, anrl li v-
ing a dying life, at last gives life itself
11s a willing offering to Him who gave
His life for us. In this selfish and lux-
urious age. it is the rarest quality found,
but it is the most needed, and as the
end approaches and t he last tribulation
draws near, the age of martyrdom will
r each the climax, and t he tears of sor-
row and the blood of sacr ifice be trans-
formed into the j ewels of the corona-

REV. C. L. SHELBY, PARIS, TEXAS, says :- "I consider 'Pentecostal Songs
of Nazarene' the best Song Book we have ever had. It is especially
adapted (or revi val work. I tcontainsabout forty newsongsthathllv.enever
C?me to us before, as well as a choice lot of old, tried songs. There is a r.uffi-
ctent older songs so you will .find no di_fficulty in taking t he
hook rig ht up m your church meetmgs. I would especially call att ention to
No. 10. Brother Martin' s 'Glory Hong.' also No. 116, ' I t's Real ' and No.
120, 'The Year of Jubilee. ' This is the song the New England g ir'Js sung at
the General Assembly. Also No. 136, 'Mounting Up.' This No. is one of
the sweetest I .have ever heard. These four songs alone are worth
more than the price of t he book. It is just the book you need f or your sum
mer meetings."
