I held a few meetings preceding the
Dlstric.t Assembly ;\,;hich werP. well at-
and crowned with some bless-
ing. .According to ca ll tiH Assembly
met on Thursday the 20th inst. at 9 a.
m. There was a good attendance, aiJd
the hour given to special devotion was
a time of great blessing. a precio.i.ls fore-
nmner of what has been enjoyed dur-
ing the entire Assemhly. The Assem-
bly showed that the work in these parts
lias been gradually p"utting on strength
and preparing for conquests.
It has been twdve ye;trs since at the
invitation of Rev. E. A. Girvin I came .
city to open with him this work.
There was much opposition, of almost .
all kinds, bnt after about two weeks of
a church of near twenty per-
was many of whom
were trausieht, nncl the most of the lit-
tle company outside of Bro. Girvin's
own family wer e so'on gone. But the
battle was steadily. pressed 'and some
were won to Christ and-some.sanctified
wholly -and a few added to the church
as the days went by.
In 1903 a lot -was purchased and pre-
sented to the church by Brother and
Sister Girvin, upon wns er ected
a small, neat church. After a time, in
the opening. of a new street the lot was
condemned by the city for street pur-
poses, mid the best adjustment possible
was made. The property had greatly
increased in value, and the _church was
<'llllrch "ell discu::;sed, and such ;tction
tHkrn as was thought wo\Jld further the
inter ests _in every way. 'l'he Assembly

"THE LAW OF SIN."
When will the 9b:-nrch of God learn
of the certainty and of sin,
not merely as an extraneons command-
ment broken, but as a power
in our members, producing death.
Much is now about the "un-
renlity of sin," and the "delusions of
introspection." I am assured there is
nothing we so much need today as to
.. be spectators of our own personality.
Aided by the Holy Spirit, Paul is.shown
that his old unregenerate is
under the law of sin and de'ath, and
that this law is constant i11 its mani-
festations. Everything natural and law-
. ful pervftrte.d by its activity, by sin
liaving dominion over the man, even far
.beyond anything seen or manifested.
The power of sin is not spent in the
[May 27, 1909

hy--' t-l!e, Stlirit of dis-
obedience," that governs tl1e entire
man, of which the act is but a sligJ:lt
manifestation. It is so certain in its
opcrntion. nn_rl so vital -in its power",
that until destroyed hy the Holy Spirit
it perpetuates itself through the ages.
and is as eertn.in in its expression as
t.he manifestations of any law are. Ji.

unregenerate soul has power to resist.

It is t.hat law which was absent from

we call "animal spirits" nceessarily the
product of ::;in or under t he law of sm

\Ve think, nnd rig"L\tly too, that in-
temperance, sensuality, incontinency
and fornication are the pioducts of the
law of sin. So is cen'Soriousness,
mortification, bodily lacerations nnd all
unnntnralness.
In the Scriptures it is r epr esented as
a power orgar"1ized agai nst the "King-

entire man. Ho"' well the sinner knows
this, of . which every regenerate man is
ashamed.
Yon cannot will it out of existence,

to your own states of consciousness, or
prevent its .manifestations, or cleanse
yourself from its pollutions. It e:lfacts
service according to law, it gives wages
r.ecording to law. .Its ";ages is death.
No power car1 overcome it except the
power of the "law of life in Christ

TIME TO AWAKE. "
E. P, ELLYSON, PRESIDENT OF TEXAS
. HOLINESS . UNIVERSITY.
A series of articles have begun in the
May number of the Cosmopolitan Maga-
zine by Harold Boice on the cha1.aeter
of the teaching being given in tlJC
American school. llis first article on.
"Blasting at thc .. Rock of Ages" is very
startling in its revelations. M , .. . Boice
has spent two years In a speci.nl inves-
tigation of the schools from l\1nssnchu-
setts to California. He entered sev-
eral sehools as a special student, had
private <>onversations with many of the
teachers, and consulted the offi cial
printed records of what they teach.
His investigation included - Harvard,
Yale, Princeto11, Union; Columbia, Chi-
t;ago, . N oithwestein, Cornell, Brown,
Syracuse, .IJelancf Stanford, Jr., . an<J
several '"'f . the- State universities. -He
finds !hesc institutions honeycon1bed
with teachings that strike at the verx
foundations of tbe h<tlne, of
<'l'llnHmt: and of society. lt is time the
p\.1blic r ealized what is being taught
to the youth of this country. It is time
for parents).o awnke, . or their children
will be ruined receiving their edn-
cation. '
we can not here go . into details, and
it. . would not be right to do so if we
<.ould, for the article belongs to the Cos-
mopolitan, but the following is a brief
putting of some of the fearful teaching
in th<>se institutions:
'l'hey say t.hat )he 'l'cn Command-
ments are no ntore sacred t.han any
mere outline of a discourse, and that
it is absurd to tl1ink that God )vrote
.them on tables of stone; and that to
change from one religion to another
means no more than getting a new hnt..
Thus they destroy the inspiration of
the Bible and of our very Christianity.
As t.o morality, they teach that there
arc no absolute evils, and thnt tb.e con-
ccptjons of right and wrong are as un-
stlti>ie as styles of dress. :Moral stan-
darcls are but the creation of soeiety.
There is nothing wrong except. as cus-
tom_ makes it wrong. As to the n? tion,
they _are teaching that demoeracy is a
failure, and the Declaration of Indepen-
dence only showy rhetoric. As- to the
home, say the home f!S an institu-
tion is doomed; to those who wish to

of this condition the holiness school is
a real necessity and the hope of the
next generation. It is time for the peo-
j)le to awaken to this condition and be-
.come loyal supporters of the holiness
sehools. \Ve never were so thankful for
the Texas Holiness Unive1sit.y and othl.'r
h.oliness schools as when we were read-
ing the article to whi ch we have 1'1.'-
ferrcd. V{e were so glad we were con-
. nected with a school which is free from

the subject of "Perfect Love," he
showed 'vhat it is not, and by an nrray

.. heart emptied of all sin and filled
with Divine love, enabling us to
God supremely nnd om' neighbor. as

.In the afternoon Bro. Walker gave a
brief message from Isa. 26 :l-4, which
was riGh in thought and very helpful
to all. At the closing of the testinionies
he gave a very impressive invitation to
hungry souls to seek the Lord immedi-
ately. 'One young man came forward
and prayerl his way t hrough the

A good audience assembled for the
evening service: and nfter H splendid .
song servi ce led by Bro. Eppt>rson, Bro.
Shaw and :Miss Killinger sang a duct
entitled, "I Kn.ow 'Tis Real." Dr.
\Valker wns the preacher again and
took as his text Ps. 68 :20,. "He that is
our God is the God of salvation," He
opened his discourse PY saying that the.
atheist says, God is not ; the agnostic
says, God ma.v be but we canrio.t kn-ow;
Christian Seience says, God is all, an
impersonal being. besides whom there
is none other; the evolutionist deClares
that God in the r emote past planted a
germ from which has developed all
things; the deist says, is, but He
dwells in silence; the rationalist
God has spoken, but. does not mean
what He says; t he fool says, there is no
God; the churchling .,.says, God r equires
rites and ceremonies in r ecognition of
Himself; the pretendel' atlopts God ns a
figurehead; the r eli gionist says, , God is
_an august being. worthy to r eceive
honor and adoration ; but the Christian
says, "He thnt is our Go.d is the God
of salvation." This lnst is t he truth
that we stnbd on, .and the rejoicing of
our glad liearts. .The r evelation and
knowledge we possess is of God
Saviour.
Tbe speaker then led his m\di ence
along the lines 9f the plan of salvation
from pardon to r egeneration and sanc-
.tific,;ition,' making cl ear the point thnt
salvation was through sanctification.
"Sanctification is not an addition to
salvation, but a part of He who is
not sanctified is not yet fully saved. It
is a great thing to be saved from the
guilt, condemnation, practice, death,
power and sentence of sin, but a great-
er to be saved from sin itself. No one
has even been converted but to be sane- .
tified. " This ,:was a strong sermon, anQ.

The Assembly wns opened with a com-

The Distri1t Advisory Board met
and,. in harmony with the desire of the
churches or their representatives, the .

'l'he singing of Sister J.Jarkin and the
Baltimore sisters, Miss Whitaker and
Miss Deal, was very inspiring and help-

The Assembly, while not as large as
many simHar gatherings, was one. of the
most spiritual and united that we have
ever attended. There was not a "jar"
anywhere of . any kind. The presence
of God was plainly in every
business service, as well as revival serv-
if'es . . If. the Washington Djstrict will
1ontinue on the lines this it

Only four moie weeks of _this college

'ROUGH PLAYMATES.
I love the wind, the merry wind
That whistles through the trees
The wind .and I are good old friends,
But 0, he is a tease I
My auntie sends me out to play,
. The primmest little girl;
My dress soon loses all its starch,
My hair all of its curl.
I like to pick my apro:Q. up
And spread it out, just so; .
And thus the wind I run
As hard I can go.
And now I turn to struggle back,
And push with all my might-
But he is very strong, yQu know,
My way I have to fight ..
When summer comes again you see
He's only just a breeze ;
But autumn fruits and nuts for me
He picks from off the trees.
When anntie questions me I say,
"The wind took out the curl .
And spoilt my.dress"; but auntie says,
"Yon harum-scarum girl!"
....,...Dame Durden.
GOOD ADVICE.
No young woman ever looked so well
to a sensible man as when dressed in a
neat, plain, modest attire without a
single ornament about her person. She
looks then as though she possessed
worth in herself and needed no artifi-
cial rigging to enhance her value. If
a young woman would spend as much
time in cultivating her mind, . training
her t emper, and cherishing kindness,
mercy and other good qualities, as most
of them do in extra dress and orna-
ments to increase their personal charms,
spe would at a glance be known in a
thousand: Her character would be read
in her countenance.-Exchange.
TWO OF US.
Some one tells a story of a boy whom
some older boys were trying to compel
to join them in some mean act.
"I can 't . do it," he said.
'' What's t he r eason you can't? You
will have to, I tell yon. We are going.
to make you do it whether you want
to or not. We are all of us against you,
and how are you going to help "your
self Y"
The ooy looked at the other a moment
and said, "I can 't do it; it's wrong, it's
mean, and I won't do it. I am not as
much alone as you think I am, either.
There are t'wo of us, and other one
has always been more than a match for
all that come against Him." '
"Two of yon," sneered t he other boy,
Nazarene Messenger
"an4 where's your partner, I'dlike to
know? Why doesn't he show up 1
Much helpyou'll get You'll
])e, used up before . he- comes.'.'
'' N1:>,.' I shall bot,' t answered the other
hoy, quietly, " .tor h.e is n.ow_ Jt
is _just. as I told you; there are two of
us, arid the otner one is-God. '' .
The leader of. lough . boys -was .
startled. He looked for a moment into
the determined face of the little fellow
before him, and then, casting a sheepish
glance at his companions around him,
he said : "Come. on, fellows; let him
alone. There is no use. fooling with
such a. ehap as that." And away they
went.-Thc Christian.
