" E ~ r n c s t lcontend
~ ,for the faith which was once delivered unto thc saints."--Jude
Vol. I, No. 2

AlJ along the ages nlcu have been preach-
ing a partial Gosptbl. A part of the Gospe:
remained when the world went into the dark
ages. God has from time to tlme rniscd up
men to bring back the truth to thz church.
He raised up Luther t o bring back t o the
world t l ~ edoctrine of justification By faith.
H e raised up another reformer in John
Wt.r;l?y ta ~ t a b l i s h Bible holiness in the
church. Then hc raised up Dr. Cullis who
bronght back t o the world the wonderfa1
doctrine of divine healing. NJW H e ls
bringil~g back the Pentecostal Baptism to
tho church.
Got1 laid H i s hand on a little crippled
boy seven years of agz and healed him df
disense nnfl made him whole except his
ankles. Hc walked on the sides of his
ankles. Than, w h ~ nfie was fourteen ydars
of agr, hc hail bcen sent to college and
Gorl hail cnllrd him t o preach. One d a y aR
he W R S sitting reading his Bible, a man
cs111~for him to go nnd hold a mzeting.
H e began to say to the Lord: ':Father, if
I go to that place, i t will ba necessary ~ J L
me to walk here and voncler. juat put
strength into thesa ankle joints of mine."
And immediabely he was made whole and
leaped and praised God, like tha man a t the
beautiful gate. H e has since been in e v m
gelistic work o w r the United Stat'ds, seeing
multitudes saved, sanctified and healed.
Five years ago, God put it into thin man's
heart (Bro, Charles Parham) to go Jver td
Topeka, Kansas, t o educate missionaries to
carrv the Gospel. It was a fnith school and
the ~ i b l ewas the only text book. The stud-
entg had gathered tharz without tnition ur
baard, God sending i n tha means to carry
on tho work. Most of the students had been
religious workers and aaid they had rl;-
caived the baptism with the Holy Ghost rt
number 3f p a r s ago. Bro. Parham became
convinced that there was no religious schod
that tallied u p with the second chapter of
Acts. Just before the first of January, 1901,
tha Bihle Schaol began to study the word on
the Baptism with the Rolv Ghost t o dip-

up and stay three hours, and then another
company wauld go up and wait on God,
praying that all the .promises of the Word
might be wrought out in their livza.
On New Year's night, Miss Sgnes N. 0 2 -
man, one who had had for years "the
anointing that abideth," which she mistook
for the baptism, was convinced of the need
of a perr.onal Pentecost. A few minutes b'a-
fore midnight, she desired hands laid on
her that she might receiva the gift df th'3
~ 0 host. 1 ~ During prayer and inv0Catioll
of hands, she was filled with the H J ~ Yaha*
and with other tongues as the s p i r i t
gave itterance.
Thia ma& all hungry. Scarcely eating or
sleeping, the aehool with one nccord waited
on God. On the 3rd of January, 1901, Rlo.

the time, while thev all waited on G ~ t lto

twelve students were filled with the Holy
Ghost and began to speak with dther
tonguas, and when 'Bro. P a r h a ~ n returncll
and opened the door of the room wherz they
were gathered, a wonderful sight met h i 1
tlves. The whole room was filled with a
&bite sheen of light that could n ~ bt > dc-
scribed, and twalve of the students were on
tliair feet talking in different languages.
He said they seemed t a pay no attention
a t a11 to him, and he knelt in one corner
and said: "0, God, what does t h i s mean'!"
The Lord said: "Are you able to stand for
tlls experience in the face of perseculion

PENTECOST IN DANVILLE, VA.
Dear Saints in Los Angeles:-GQd ba
praiFrcd fQr His power and 'grace. We are
making preparations to go to India M SQon
as pos'Sible. Threoe -of us-with th'o baby,
four in all-will gO. just as soon a.s posdible,
M as to. be 'Dn the ocean in the right time.
When we came :here from Los AngJles, Wl
fonnd th~ 'band to. whQm we ha.d preaehcd
while here before, most of th'am backslidden
!Lnd fussing among themselve'S. But whe3
they saw that Hod had really done somethin'g
wQnd'crfnl for ua, they aH came in and b~gan
to seek the Lord. MOfit of them have bean
reclaimed. an.d quite a number have be'dn bap-
. ·~ .l with tho H -l}Y Ghost, D.nd bll'V"C recMv.!.:'
the fQreign tQngue.
One young girl received the baptism Fr:·
day night and she spoke in German. God
sent Ud a German to. inter'pret. He said loe
could underS'tandeverything perfectly. Sis-
ter J 'e nnie Eans has also received the German
languaga, and speaks it very fluently.
Sister G arr improves every day in hf'r
Thibetan and Chinese. 0, hQW I praise GQd
that He eVilr "gave us this wonderful experl-
'..mce of the baptism with the Holy Ghost.
The fQlks fall under the PQwer Qf ~d, aud
a great tim~ is QIIl here. The church was
packed twic~ yesterday and alta.r Qverflow-
ing with seekers. One 13aved man was sanc·
tifIed in tbe 'afternoon meeting and in the
e·... ening meeting received the baptism wlth
th'd Holy GhQst and spake in tonguds and
magnified God.
A real revival has begun and three ho]ines5
preacher boys 'haVil faIlen in line. Two 'Jf
them have rdceived the baptism and tLe
tQngues. The 'Uther one is seeking and says
he will n'.Jver stop till he receive'S it. A gOQd
many have received the tongues, we do nQt
know how many.
'l'he S'ick 'a re being h·ealed. SQon after we
arrived, a lady sick with dropsy cam'e to the
meeting. She 'got 'o ut of bed to come; hat!
hl~en sick 11. lQng time. As she told us how
glaushe was to S'de us back in Danville 'a.nd
of her long sick 's pell, I said: (( God will
heal you," and tQQkher hand. She im-
mediately shouted that 'S,h e was healed. I
felt the healing power flow into hu body.
The next day she told us that her limb.; wer
sWQUen, but that every bit of it was dnv ;,
out at o()nce. She walked dQwn town a.c.Ll
irhcn tQld her n'eighbors about thp. wond'crfu!
things the Lord had ilone for her.
Several have be'an hralen. But, best of
all many are getting the light, and a'5 tlltl
lBible oP'''3D'S tQllS, they rejoice fQr the pree·
ious truths that ha.v~ heen hidclen frQm us fQr
so. 1,)Dg by the II traditions of the elderiJ.'

eyes an (1 let m'o see th'e truth, and it liberated
me from tbe bondage of ignorant teachili;t;,:'
and the devil in 'genoeral. I see the Bible D'v\'T
as never before.
Many Me ti~d through fear. Some a'r a

some are '£10 afraid 'of the third bl'assing th.a.t
they are nQt quite SUle of tb~ seMnd. So. it
gQes. And the world speeds ahmg its way to

SERMON FROM A DRESS.

The dirty dress raprestlnts a pdrson in ain.
Your righteousn'e8s is filthyra:ga . ((Though

that represents a jU'!Jotifi'Od experience. When
the dress is woashed .and on tli'e line, you To!-

Whv, they need to ba irDned. You would be
aSham'dd to take the clothes off the lint' and
wear thflm without ironing. Jesus WQuld be
ashamed to present you before the Father if
V0U were not san-ctified, but wh~n you 'ne
~anctifier1 He is not ashamed t.:> c'a ll YOIl

and ther<l is something lacking yet. Wha.t

Holy Gh:Q'llt is a free gift. It is th'a promiIJ8

You do nQt have tu repent to ge~ th'a U.>ly
GhO'St, I:)ut you must be waah~d r. 1e!l.n anLl

You can know yQU 'are baptized. The Holy
Ghost will cut your tQngu'tl 10Qse 'a nd let you

will not iron a dirty piece. He will tak~ out
the spots and than the wrinkles, and after

Jesus is searching for a people that will be-
lieve the gDspel. He has never changed the
gospel in any way since He commissioned it.
Many take sanctifieation to be the power.
They stop when they have original sin taken
c)ut, and Christ enthroned in the heart; but
God wants us to go on and get filled with
the Holy Ghost; that we may be witnesses
unto Him to the utt.ermost parts of the earth.
The times of this ignoranee God winked a.t,
but now commandeth mOn everywhere to re-

faith in· His word and in tIle Holy Spirit.
