Evan Roberts' Death (?)to Sin.
Our readers who read the accounts of the marvelous
revival in Wales some three years ago, in whic}) God so
wonderfully used a young man named Evan Roberts, have
no doubt often wondered what became of him after that
great awakening. Being overcome .by work, he was com-
pelled to rest, and so withdrew from all active work to
commune with God. In a recent issue of the Christian
Herald we learn that he has been holding some conventions
in England with much blessing, and in a letter recently
addressed to a friend in Wales, Mr. Roberts gives an
interesting of the truth at present dominating
his own mina and heart. Here is the passage: .
;'One great need of the Church is Rom. 6:11: 'Reckon
yourselves to be dead indeed to sin.' To me this has been
a revelation and a great and grand divine privilege. Dead
to sin as the basis or condition for the progressive destr:uc-.,,,
tion of the body of sin. I have seen many souls delivered
standing on this truth. This truth, also, is my salvation
from the power of sin. Christ is the Saviour. He shall
save, and He can save from sin-its penalty, power and
guilt. What a blessed Gospel! 0 that I had known Rom.
6:11 during the Welsh revival! But, thank God, I know
it now. "
''Dead. to sin as the basis or condition for the progress-
ive destruction of the body of sin. '' This is the Keswick
doctrine over again with a little different phase. It is the
gradualism," with the end sometime. somewhere,
in sight-the destruction of the "bo-dy of sin. " It is the
death from the human side, but says nothing of the sin
destroying efficacy of the atonement through the baptism
with the Holy Ghost. He says, "This truth is my salva-
tion from the power of sin." That is, that it requires the
constant attitude of the will against-overt acts rather than
a purified nature from which no desire for wrong shall
rise. He then bewails the ignorance_ of this new experi-
ence during the Welsh revival in these words: "0 that I
had known Rom 6:11 during the Welsh revival!" If he
had known the real experience of Rom. 6: 11 during- the
Welsh revival, over ten thoul'and of the converts would
not, as has been stated, have gone to the world; but
if those ten thousand would have gone on to a pure heart,
baptized with the Holy Ghost, they would have swept
over Great Britain and Irela!ld and perhaps the world.
Well, praise the Lord, real ex pur-
. gation of sin and the fulness of 'the Holy Spirit, which the
"Power for Service" theory and Keswick suppression
teaching can only imitate. Let us keep true to the good
John Wesley doctrine of Entire Sanctification, and live
it and teach it and . push it until God sends a mighty
revival that will last forever.

The Holy Ghost's Prerogative.
One of the great truths and sure sources of assurance
to the believer who is determined to go God's way iS--that
just as surely as God will not give His glory to another,
neither will the Holy Ghost resign His place of power to
any man or organization. . In this fact we can rest with
the serenity of God Himself; and though church societies
or other bodies which are inclined to worldliness or worldly
ways to draw the crowds and to show seeming prosperity
-all of which are a hindrance rather than a help to the
soul seeking God-the Holy Ghost will yet., triumph, and
the future will see the glory of His working
among men; and this will reveal to modern Churchianity
the utter fallacy of their position and their utter inability
- to reach men for salvation. All the modern agencies, apart _
from the office-work of the Holy Ghost, will not avail, and
time is wasted in trying them. ''Y e must be born again,''
is the eternal command and demand of God, and the need
of every soul that enters heaven. Brethren, let us honor
the Holy Ghost and give Him the leadership. '

Walking in-- the Light . ..-
. New light is_ given us so that we may have new expe-
riences, new experiences that we may have more knowl-
edge of divine things, and more knowledge brings fresh
responsibility. This being the case, there is a line behind
which we cannot with safety .go. We dare not live below
the greatest light we ever had. Every Christian who
do this, not only cuts off all progress, .but also
cuts off all new light; for God will not give new light to
a man who is not walking up to the light . he has. What
a wonderful thing it would be .if all God's people were
. really walking light; and caring less for the light
that is behind them than for the light that is before them,,
because the new light is so much more brilliant and glori-
ous. We are really hinderers of ourselves in divine things,
for we believe that our Lord has yet in store for the
faithful and obedient " exceeding abundantly above all
that we ask or think. '' We seek for the highest devel-
opment of our physical frame, artd that is well; that
development has its limits. But after our nature
has seemed to have reached maturity, -we awake to find
new beauties and new aspirations -and new visions and
experiences in -tlie divine-life that we previously had no
conception of; and as we walk in the light we begin to
have revealed to us by the Holy Ghost some-of those things
that "eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have en- -
tered into the heart of man" -to conceive. _ Oh, beloved,
this is a wonderful salvation, but if we desire to know its
wonders . we must "walk in the light." __

THE NAZARITE.
P. G. LINAWEAVER.
The terms Nazarite and Nazarene are
sometimes mixed by people who are
unlearned. A brother recently told me
in San Jose that one said to him, "I
know what a Nazarene is ; it is a person
who wears long hair.''
'rhe Nazarite is: 1. A type of the
holiness people. We. have many types
of holiness in the Word. God has done
everything He can do to show 11s what
we ought to be and how we 1nay qe-
come what we ought to be. In type,
figure, symbol, clear. definite and plain
teaching, He has endeayor ed to get us
to see that He purp-oses that :we shall
be holy. So the Nazarite_ is <\ type of_
the holiness, or holy In those
days it could have been said of one,
' 'There goes a holy man,'' as well as to
say. ''There goes a N azarite. '' Samson
was a type of the holy people. Of
course there were things in his life that
we now could not do and be holy. But
God said. of Noah and others, "He was
perfect in his generation. '' Samuei
was also a type of the hol;y people, as
was also John the Baptist. In J er. 35
we read of a sect of them. All k ept
the N azarite vow. It looks to me as
though it is Scriptural to have a holi-
ness church.
2. Let us see in what respects the
N azarite typifies the holiness people.
(a) He became a Nazarite from choice.
No man is compelled to become . holy.
To be sure, there are many things
thrown about us and brought to bear
upon us to induce us to obtain this
blessing, but there is no compelling
one to seek and obtain-it. Those who
. have the blessing endeavor to show the
swee"tness, blessedness and. glory of it

COMMENTS UPON 1 JOHN, CHAP. I.
G. W. BUGH .
P erhaps we have no New Testamei1t
writings which are more twisted by
readers than the first chapter of the
first epistle of St. John. . Seeing his
words in the light of n sauctified soul
we find no plainer t eaching upon the
-doctrine of the second . blessing of
grace. Y.l e read it in several instances,
However, the sinning professor of re-
ligion finds it justifying his course of
a sinful character. Blindly he reads
amidst the brightest .light that .he con-
fesses it and declares all liars who tes-
tify to the contrary. Of course these
sin lovers have not the experience of
the first bl essing, to say nothing about
a second or the cleansing.
They either avoid reading what is
contained in all the subsequent chap-
. ters or doubt them. T_hey only look
for a proof to self-justifying of conduct.
"St. John is a present t ense sinner and
St. Paul is the chief of sinners,'' say
they. This is the characteristic . of thfl

have looked upon, and our hands haYe
handled , of the word of I..ife." It
will be observed that ,-the - capitalized
'' 'Vord '' refers us to the Lord .J esns,
or His person. The r evisers by the
marginal r eading of Acts 5 :20. capital-
ize the word "Life. " This should be
done here in ver se two, "For the Life
was manifested, and we have seen Him,
and bear witness. and she_,y. i111to you
that eternal Life who was with the
Father, and was manifested unto us."
'rhe Word and the Life both are meta-
phors signifying Christ manifested in
the fl esh.
V.erse 3. '' That whieh we have seen

THE WASHINGTON DISTRICT.
ASSEMBLY.
Report of H. B. Hosley, Dist. Supt.
In order to o]?trun a right under-
standing of what has and is being done
on the \Yashington District, it is need-
ful to look at what it was a little over a
year ago, and compare that with the
present condition. The P entecostal
Church of the Nazarene was formed in
October, 1907, by the un1pn of the
''Association of P entecostal Churches
of America. '' and ' ' The Church of . the
Nazarene."
The \Yashington District was formed
by the General Superintendents one
year ago 'last October. At that time
there were three churches-Bowens,
Md.; Hollywood, Md., and Washington,
D. C. One of. these three churches
(Bowens) owned a church building val-
ued at $400, debt $100. One of the
others worshipped in a private house,
and one in a hired hall. - At t he present
time we have ten churches in the dis-
trict, seven of them owning church
property with a valuation of $26,300,
with an indebtedness of $13,923, l eav-
ing clear property value of $11,353
against $300 at the time of organization
eighteen months ago.
Our total membership at the time of
organization was 223, while at the pres-
ent time we have a total of 502, making
a net gain of 279.
The total amount of money raised by
the churches the year preceding or-
ganization was $3,234, while the total
amount raised during the past year was
$6,242. The figures given above are
something of an index to the spiritual
condition which prevails on the entire
district, for a good spiritual condition
always make's finances run easy, and
wherever there is real sanctification
there is always travail of . soul, .and
"when Zion travaileth she shall bring
forth." saith the Lord. Scriptural
sanctification also always produces
Spirit directed activity, and Spirit di-
;:r ected activity produces multiplication.
Washington District is pioneer terri-
tory, and it has required the real old-
has found that they are doing their
best to spread full salvation. Many of
them are small and unable to do much
on any line on.tsidc of their home work,
and to endeavor to l ay other burdens
upon . them at the present time would
be disastrous. The Washington chtirch
recogmzmg the need of spreading
scriptural holiness, has allowed its pas-
tor time to -attend to the duties of Dis-
trict Superintendent and supported him
while attending to those duties, as his
total expenses connected with the
office have been $53 more than his re-
ceipts during the past year. Recogniz-
ing that many who go to an altar are
not scriptural seekers, and that many
'others have been count ed many t imes
already, we have neither kept count nor
' asked the pastors to keep count of the
numbers professing conversion or sanc-
tification. As District Superintendent
we have not spent much time k eeping
account of what we have done. Our
thought has rather_.been ... to
our job," spread scriptural holiness
with all of the time and strength God
gives us, and while we realize that witli
the great needs on ever y hand we have
been able to do comparatively speaking
very little indeed; yet standing at the
close of the year with the past spread
before me, with its duties to God, the
district (which has honored me with its
highest office) and my f ellow man, I
can look into the loving face of my Sav-
iour and say, I have done Whll.t I could,
and as I do it I f eel His smile of appro-
val upon my soul.
Our church at North East, Maryland,
was organized through the labors of
Bro. Trumbauer of the Philadelphia
District. But as Sister Larkin, who is
a member of the washington church,
was the direct means under God of or-
ganizing the Bloombsburg, Pa., church,
and a!? the ''union'' placed in their dis-
trict the Lehighton church, both of
these churches being cop.siderably
stronger than the North East church,
we feel that the Philadelphia District
still owes us two or three more churches
in order to even up things . . We believe
that the future means greater things
than the past. Our people as a whole
are increasing in love and there are now
several openings that we 'believe will
result in more churches. : We praise

The work is going well at most points
in the district. Both churches in Chi-

First Clni r ch is forging ahead with
no abating interest. Bro. Cornell is a
great l eader.
A recent revival at Indianapolis, Ind.,
held by the pastor, Rev. J. M. Wines,
added a number to the growing mem-
bership of that praying church.
The district superintendent and
evangelist, Wm. 0 . Jones, conducted a
meeting at Kewanee. Our people at
Kewanee are full of holy spirit. Bro.
Hobbs, the pastor, is a gifted young
preacher, and a most excellent spirit.
We have at Kewanee one of the most

IF I WERE-
"\Ve often look at people in other po-
sitions and relationships and say, "If
I was in their place,'' I would do so
and so. Very often it may be- an un-
thoughtful remark and no doubt
sometimes without knowledge of the
various conditions which affect the mo-
. tive of the one r eferr ed to, so that our
thought of what we would do if we
wer e in their place; or rather what we
think they sholild do, may be of com-
parative little value. Yet it is not with-
out interest, and possibly helpful in-
terest, to know what others feel that
they would do if in our place. E ach
one must use his own best judgmept,
and is himself responsible for his
course; but earnestly trying to be right
and at his best, we glad for every
side light possible. The question is of-
ten upon me from my standpoint as a
minister and pastor,
What W <;>uld l Do If I Was a Layman?
As the question has pt: essed upon me,
I have confesSed . to myself that prob-
ably there would be as many mistakes
and as large a degree of failure as I
find in my ministered life, even when
I have done my best. But as I have
marked the noble and heroic course of
many l aymen, and the more or less
failure in the life of :'others, the ques-
tion has still been present with me:
What would I do if I was a layman?
This means, were t"' a layman in the
church in which I have the privilege of
fellowship and labor, with its special

eriviron1nents and conditions: I have
said to myself: ...
If I were a l ayman in the Pentecostal
Church or" the Nazarene, I would be
especially careful to manifest my love
and devotion for, and intense loyalty
to, the clnlrch. Not in a narrow and
sectarian way, but with loving .recog-
nition of the broadest brotherhood
with all the holy people, I would mani-
fest my special joy in the call of God
to me to be in th1s organized work of
preaching, testifying and spreading
scriptural holiness over these lands. I
should do this because of the looseness
of the sense of obligation to fellow
workers and church service felt by
many so-called holiness people. It has
been t he fortune, possibly the misfor-
tlme, of many people to have been in
churches where holiness has not been
r egarded with favor, and sometimes
where it has been steadily opposed;
with t he conditions which have sur-
rounded them, they have felt it more
than permissible, -while retaining this.
church membership, to enter upon
work outside of the church, either in
connection with churches more f avor-
able to holiness, or in undenomination-
al work. In doing this there has come,
in some instances, an absence of the
sense of responsibility; which, when
they undertake with others to create
and maintain church life, for the pur-
poses . which could not be carried out
in t heir previous r el ationship, nor .suc-
cessfully served without church organi-
zation, becomes in them a great defect
and sometimes a fatal hindrance to
their usefulness. Because of this too
prevalent delinquency in p eople pro-
fessing holiness, I would give great and
continued emphasis, by my course, of
my fidelity to my job. The general
work is served to any appreciable ex-
t ent by any person, only by the success
of the special work given him to do.
So if I was a layman, I would take for
my motto, ''This one thing I do, '' and
sing:
''Though but au armor bearer .I may be,
Surely the Captain can depend on me.''
Many laymen with clear vision, pure
hearts, and intense loyalty, have been
my joy in this work and have caused
me ''to thank God at every remem-
brance of them." If I was a layman, it
would be my joy to sing, "I'm oile of
them.''
If I was a layinan, I would under-
take to be
A Good Listener.
Wit,h all Christians, Sabbath is the
[May 6, 1909
great day-the j eweled clasp which
binds the golden leaves of the week to-
gether. If possible, I would be in the
house of the Lord, in support with my
pastor, with upt urned, eager face, and
the amen in my heart to r eceive the
word of life. I would not be full of
the morning paper, nor worldly
thought, which would n eed to be wrung
out of me, before I could receive the
truth from his lips.'. I would come
with prayer and rejoicing to r eceive
the bread of heaven and .to do my part
by holy r esponse and faith to fill the
place with hallowed influences and
message on with divine effi-
ciency. I would talk over with my
pastor, occasionally; his sermons, with
such commendation as, possibl e, encour-
aging and inspiring him with the
that his sermons were r e-
tained and appreciated and that they
were thought provoking and hejpfnl,
and thus .try to enlarge and intensify
his effort to meet the expectancy of his
thoughtful hearers. I would find a
way, with such commendation as might
be possible and necessary, to make such
suggestions to him as would seem to me,
from a layman's standpoint, as might
be helpful and useful to him. I would
not so criticize him to himself. or other s
as to sadden his heart or weaken. his
arm, but try to so encourage him that
his bow might abide in strength.
If I was a l ayman, I would
Invite People to Hear My Pastor.
I would, at least at times, ask a
little in advance, what was to be the
subject of his next Sabbath's discourse,
as it might be something that I might
be able especially to interest s-ome one
in and thus secure his attendance. I
' '
would be on the lQokout for strangers
and others who are, not in r egular at-
tendance upon some church, and invite
them and try to secure their attend-
ance upon the service. I would occa-
sionally tell my pastor of peopl e who
are expected to be present' at a given
service for the first time, and of my
desire for him to meet them. I would
arrange to co-operate with him in
prayer that his message might bring
them to Christ, or l ead them to the
fountain qf cleansing. I would try and
co-operate with other members of the
church in securing the attendance of
people upon the means of grace.
Mid Week Meeting.
If I was a layman, I would earnestly
strive to so arrange my work and af-
fairs that I could be regularly at the
May 6, 1909] .
mid-week meeting for prayer and
praise. I would do this for my own
soul's enlargement, and for the sake of
the church. I would join gladly and
heartily in the prayers and songs, and
efforts for the salvation .of the p eople.
I would show myself inte1:ested in all
and the friend of all.
Whatever the church was und.ertak-
ing to do for the salvation of men
should be my care. 'l'hOligh I might
be the last of all, I would not seek my
own, but the things which are Jesus
Christ's, in and through those who are
His. I would recogni:;r,e that I belong
to the church, of whi ch Jesus Chtist is
the head; that I am bought with a
price, and that as a member of the army
I follow Him in the ranks of His de-
voted people. \Vithout ostentatjbn
expecting things to center in me or
cluster about me, I \VOuld l abor and

KEEPING ON FlRE.
What is needed everywher e Js a peo-
ple on, fire. for God. The religion
Christ mightily moves the soul; qui ck-
ens the intellect and enl ivens the body.
The fire of the Holy Spirit will not
only purify the heart, but it will in-
tensify the feelings and put 'a holy en-
thusiasm into the life.
It inspires its possessor to activity
and encourages and enthuses his whole
being. It makes him inter-
ested in t he t hings of God and in the
highest welfare of his f ell ow men.
The Lord cannot use cold, formal,
indifferent people in the carrying on
of His wo1k. He has no place for the
lukewarm and the idler. He desi r es
His church to glow, shine . and burn
with intensity. He \\:ants eYer.v

PASA-DENA, CAL.
The preaching services on Sunday,
April 25, were all very interesting on
account of the unusual subjects, which
were very ably handled by Dr. Walker.
The subject . for the morning service
was "The Sabbath and Its Relation To
Holiness"; Bro. Walker used several
different scriptures in connection with
the lesson, Matthew II :28-30; 12 :1-14;
Heb. 3 :17-19; 4 :1-11. His text was ta-
ken from Reb. 4:9: "There rem(lineth
therefore, a rest to ihe. people of G:od."
On account of the magnitude of the
subject, Bro. Walker was not nble to
conclude, and so conch1ded the dis-
course the next Sabbath morning.
{May 6,1909

hetd, aS" .usual, at . 3 o'clock. In the
evening, the regillar Youilg People's
meeting, 7 :30,. was led by 1\'hs. An.

from 2 'rim. 2 :21,- ''He shall be a ves-
sel unto honour, sanctified, imd 111eet
for the mnster 's 1ise, and prepared unto
every good work." The subjeet fm
the evening, having been advertised to
some extent, was awarded l)y a very
good sized attendance; it was:

LONG BEACH, CAL.
The revival services conducted by
Rev. Owen and his singer, Bro. Kell,
have had the manifest blessing of God
upon them from the first. There have
been seekers at every service. Interest
is. growing and conviction is increas-
ing. The aU-day meeting on Sabbath
was a blessing to many souls. congre-
gations were large. The . text Qf the
morning was, ''Not every one that
saith uq.to me Lord, Lord, shall enter
into the kingdom of ' heaven, but he
that'-. iJ.oeth the will of my Father which
is in " heaven.'' In the afternoon a
praise service was led by Mrs. Ames of
Olinda, after which ' Bro. Wi4;on
preached with his usual earnestness
and power, to the delight and blessing
of the people. At the eveni11g service
Bro. Owen preached on sin and the

. liever, as he presented the To
uncover siiiand make holiness clear, as
a safe, middle of the road preacher of
righteousness, Bro. Owen has few .
equals and not many superiors. Bro.
Kell's singing, also Sister Wilson's, on
Sabbath was. a great blessing. The
meetings will continue throughout the
week each evening at 7 :30 and all-day
meeting next Sunday. Come, Qring

CATHOLICS LEAVING THE ROMAN
CHURCH.
From "The Conver ted Catholic" we
extract the following hit of news. Rev.
Jarnes A. O'Connor, the editor, is very
careful in his statements and this may
be considered perfectly reliable. He
writes: "The revolt against Rome in
Catholic countri es is a r emarkable feat-
ure of the religious movement of our
time.. The best and brightest men in
that church are turning away from it.
Many shrink from the publicity attend-
ing a formal renunciation of the doc-
trines of the church and quietly unite
with Protestant churches. Others r e-'
tire to the calm pursuits of philosophy
and find r elief for their, consCien'ce .in
freedom from hypocrisy. Such men do
not know the way of God in the .re-
demption of Christ Jesus, for the . gos-
pel has been ''hid'' from them in their
intellectual efforts to solve the mystery
of life. The testimony of
mer). and women who know in whom
they believe would be light and com-
fort ' to those bewildered minds and
bring r est and peace to those wander-
ing souls. Formal preaching in
churches or academic lecttires and
treatises have not the inspiring effect.
o).( the living testimony and poetic sen-
timP.nt of the followers of .Jesus who
knQw that. they ar.e children of Gon,

"The less cultured Catholic as well

fluenced by the testimony of the.wit-
nesses for Christ who have a. zeal of
God according to knowledge, who be-

MOTHER'S APRON STRINGS.
When I was but .a verdant youth
I thought the truly great
Were those w:ho had attained, in truth,
To man's mature estate.-
And none my soul so sadly tried
Or spoke such -bitter things
As he who said that I was tied-
To mother's apron
I loved my mother, yet it seemed
'hat I must break away .
And find the broader world I dreamed
Beyond her presence lay.
But I have sighed and I have cried
0 'er all the cruel stings
I would have missed had I been tied
To mQther 's strings.
0 happy, trustful girls and boys!
The mother's way is best. . .
She leads you mid the fairest joys,
Through paths of peace and rest.
If you would have the safest guide
And drink from sweetest springs,
- 0 keep your hea rts forever tied
To mother's apron strings!

SINS BLOTTED OUT.
A little boy, much puzzled about sim
being .blotted oi1t, said: ''I can't. think
:what becomes of all the sins Goci for-
gives, mother. ''
"Why, Charlie, can you tell me
where ar e all the figures you wrote
on your slate yesterday?''
''I washed them all out, mother.''
''And where are they now?''
''Why; they ar e nowher e; they are
gone. ''
"Just so it is with the believer's
sins; they are gone, blotted out, r e-
membered no more. "-Young Disciple.

FOR AMBITIOUS BOYS.
A boy is something like a piece of
iron, which, in its rough state, isn't
worth much, is it of very much use;
but the more processes it is put through
the more valuable it becomes. A bar
of iron that is only worth $5.00 in its
natural state, is worth $12.00 when
made into horseshoes; and after it goes.
through different processes by which it
is made into n eedles, its value is in-
cr eased to $350.00. Made into
knife blades it would be wol'th $3,000
and into balance wheels for watches,
$220,000. Just think of that, boys ; a
piece of iron that is comparatively
worthless can be developed into such
valuable material ! But the ir.on has to
go through a great deal of hammering
and beating and rolling and pounding
and polishing; and so if you are to be-
come useful and educated men, you
must go through a long course of study-
ing and tra.i'ning. Tqe more tiine you
spend in hard study, the better material
yon will make. The iron does riot have

verted into delicate watch springs, but
think how . much . less valuable it - is!

SHORT RULES. FOR YOUNG CH;RISTIANS
1, Never neglect daily private
prayer; and :when you r Pmember
that God is presen't and that he hears
your prayer. (Heb. 9 :4.)
2. Never neglect daily private Bible
reading. and when you r ead. r emember
that God is speaking to yon and act
upon what he says. I believe that all
11
backsliding begins with-the. neglect of
these two rules. (John 5 :39.-)
a. Never lei' the day pass without
trying to do something for Jesus. Every
night reflect- on what Jesus has done
for you, and then aRk yourself: -
am I doing for him Y" - (}'latt. 5 :13-16. )

will cost a-s much in England and
