Love Shed Abroad.
What a gracious gift, what a priceless gift, what an
unfailing source of victory, is revealed in the declaration
of the Word, and realized in experience, when "the love
9f God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost
which is given unto us." Surely there can be no greater
fact wrought in the human heart than this. When this
is done we have the biggest thing in two worlds-Love.
Then the kind of love; not human-domestic, fraternal
or fellowship love- but "the love of God." And thiR not
simply something done us or for us, but in us-
in the very center of our being, in the heart; in the place
from whe.nce come the "issues of life," so that the
"issues" will be like the sour'ce. Thank God for the full-
ness of this divine love,_ for it is "shed abroad,"" and
touches and purifies, and gladdens every
part of our being. The divine Administrator of this
priceless gift is an assurance that there will be no mistake
made in its bestowment, for it is from a holy source, is of
a holy nature, and is bestowed by the Holy Ghost upon a
holy heart. Oh, my brethren, have you got the wealth
of eternity- Holy Love- "shed abroad" in your heart?
Spoil His Goods.
When Jesus was doing the _marvelous works on the
bodies and spirits of men, the scribE:s opposing Him said
that "by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils."
The Lord, however, showed the foolishness of their false
logic by saying the devil never wars against himself nor
destroys his own kingdom, but a stronger One than the
"strong man" must come into his house and bind him
before the strong man's goods can be destroyed. The
devil's house is the human soul, and in a larger sense this
world; and Jesus, the devil's conqueror, designs to come
into every soul and. spoil his goods. He has already bound
the "strong man" -the devil-and victory is assured to
every one who will stand with the Conqueror; his power
over them is broken. But there is something to be done
after the ''strong man'' is bound - his goods must be
spoiled, and his house made so that it will no longer be a
pleasant place for him to live. Thank God, "the body of
sin" can be destroyed and the "goods" of the old man no
longer be produced in the heart made clean by the blood.
The fire of the Holy Ghost will completely spoil all the
devil's furniture by His burning presence, and the pure,
holy atmosphere of His abiding make it so that .the heart
would be spoiled forever for the devil's purpose. Be-
loved, what about the ''strong man's" goods; have they
been "spoiled"?
Mediums for the Holy Ghost.
No clearer truth is taught in the Word than that,
while the Holy Ghost comes to abide in the soul, it is
not simply for the personal joy of . the indweller, but that
he might be an whom He could reach
others with His power and blessing. This f'lhows the
necessity for all believers to be cleansed from sin, and
abandoned to the Holy Ghost, so that He may not be hin-
dered in applying the merits of the atoning blood to the ..
multitudes in sin. Jesus made this subject prominent in
His ministry. Once He tQld His disciples that the "Father
was more willing" to give them the Holy Spirit than
parents were to give necessary things to their children.
The parents obtain "good gifts" to give away again, and
so the Holy Spirit wants to pass on his blessings. At
another time He told them that the Holy Ghost should
flow out of them as "rivers of living water," and that
when He should come to them He should "reprove the
world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment."
How this truth should stir up every believer to seek their
Pentecost not only, but to be so yielded to Him and stirred
up by Him that He could use them in all the avenues
of life to reach and save the perishing. My brother, you
can sing,
Glory, Glory to God.
My heart is now cleansed from s in;
I ' ve abandoned myseJrto the Holy Ghost,
And His fullness abides within.
If so, let Him flow through you to refresh a thirsty
world.
Definite Consecration.
The reason many consecrations do not consummate in
definite blessing is that they are too general. At conver-
sion there is a general turning away from sin and the
world to be the Lord's evermore. This must be to
meet the terms of repentance. But we need not only to
be consecrated to God in a general sense, but in a specific
sense; that is, if we want to be sanctified wholly wemust
consecrate for that purpose, and keep to that definite pur-
pose uhtil the thing is consummated by the Holy,lJ(;;host.
No one who has a knowledge of his need and light on the
doctrine of heart purity can consecrate for "something
more,'' ''more love,'' ''more of the Holy Ghost,''
''a deeper death,'' ' ' more power,'' 'a higher life,''
"greater victory," or any other indefinite experience.
The seeker-knows, and God knows, that what he needs is
to ge.t rid of sin, and he must get rid of sin before he can
experience any of the above. If altar workers would
stop seekers praying for the results of sanctification and
keep them down to the blessing itself, many would ''get
through" quicker than they do. Many are led to seek the
power of the Holy Ghost, which they will never receive'
until they get cleansed from sin. Beloved, definite seek-
ing brings definite experiences. Go the right way.

May I, dear blessed Lo1:d,
Ne'er stray from Thee,
Help me close to the throne
To ever be.
Help me to watch and pray,
And ever try,
To live so I can feel
The Lord by.
Help me each day to do
Some deed of love,
Something to help some soul
To realms above.
Then when. I close my eyes
And go to rest, .

SOME THOUGHTS ON DIVINE LOVE.
L. H. HUMPHREY.
:1\'Iartiri Luther says that "Divine
is the image Of God. and not a
lifeless image, but the living essence
of the Divine Nature, which beams full
of goodness.'' Dr. Daniel Steele puts
it this way: ''Love is not a product of
the reason. It is the free play of the
spiritual sensibilities in the full posses-
sion of its object. What a mystery is
l ove ! \Ve can'not define it; we can
only inqic.ate it by describing the oc-
casion on which it arises in the soul.
Divine love is an ocean too deep for
the plummet of man or archangel; too
broad to be bounded by the thought of
loftiest intellect in the universe. ''
Di'v'ine iove is a sacred flame burning
on the altar of the heart; lit with a
heavenly glow when we are regen-
erated, shooting up with wonderful
force when we ar e sanctified wholly.
Like other flames, it must be fed in
order to preserve itself. But beware
what you place upon it, or you may
only have a . big smudge instead of a
life-giving flame.
Love produces joy, peace, harmony
and happiness ... It seeks to have things
peaceful and quiet. It does not enjoy
a jangling, noisy, riotous atmosphere.
Unkind criticism is sure to injure love,
and damp its zeal. This will cause the
flame to burn low, and if this plan of
life is .continued, will eventually
smother out the last vestige of love.
' 'Love worketh no ill to his neigh-
bor." The Apostle Paul was correct in
his statement of love . . No man can even
to harm . his neighbor without .
hatred in his heart. Love is the oppo-
Nazarene Messenger
site of hate.. This: Divine essen<!e nat-
uraily seeks to be helpful to everyone
with whom it comes in contact. The
oc.casion for . its action may not be al-
ways present, but tlie desi.r e to do good
mito -all men is a constant element of
perfect. love. Hence hatred, malice,
envy all of that hideous of
the carnal mind are forever excluded
from a heart that has received the per-
fect love of God. Hallelujah !
Again, love is self forgetfuL The
angels in heaven are doing all within
their power to help each other , not .
thjnking of self interest . . Jesus did the
same. While on earth He seemed to
take . no thought for His own comfort
or ease, and but comparatively little
care for his safety and preservation.
You and I will do the same in propor-
tion to the degree of love we have in
our hearts. There have been some
noble examples of this principle in the
ages past: 1\foses in his dealing with
the Israelites, David with King Saul,
John the Baptist in his wilderness la-
bors, Paul on his missionary journeys,
John in his ministries of love to the
brethren. Indeed, the most of the re-
formers and martyrs of the past, to-
gether with t he evangelists, pastors and
workers of the present-day holiness
movement. Glory! Say, my brother,
may we count yon in the list 1

LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE.
R. HURLBUT.
In Him was Life. More, the Life
was the Light of men. By faith the
righteousness of God becomes our
righteousness. By faith we enter into
the inheritance of Life of Light and
acts of such life and light. It is a de-
liberate conquest. All others remain
under the dominion of darkness and
death.
We become Sons of Light by a death
to sin. So Isaiah says ''Arise and shine
for thy has come and Jehovah has
risen upon thee, for J ehovah shall arise
upon thee and His glory .shall be seen
upon thee." Daniel caught the gleam
and says, "And they that be wise shall
shine as the brightness of the :firma-
ment." "John was the lamp that burn-
eth and shineth, but the witness which
I have is greater than t hat of John. He
is the true light that lightest every
man that into the world. " The
face of Moses shone. After the cen-
turies of heavenly life he was treated
mi the "holy mount" to see Christ's
ess0ntial .itmer .glory life.
The purified nature responds to

eve'ry heavenly
mortal bodies may on and show
the Divine radiance within. We shine
more than we. kno.w. Who has not
perienced that the Holy. Spirit is con-
scious .possession around the altar with "
seekers, have been able to . .shine out the
dar-kness of the .seeker into the joy and
glory of God t
The spirit of the' saved life is con-
. tagl.ous. The has knelt by a
seeker without saying a word; while
in a conscious fullness of the Spirit has
seen the Light of the presence of God
cause the to ' 'Jukp and run
around the tent shouting the praises of
God. We see it everywhere, that a
number in whom is the abiding pres-
ence, lay on their hands and pray for
a sick one, or a sinner has forced back
the power of darkness. The Divine
possession will disturb the forces of
evil. The Holy Ghost filled man can
walk among men and force conviction
everywhere.
We are illuminator s. The one with
the Adamic carnal nature has the force
of unbelief within him. He has, like
Adam, his hiding place. God can call
to him . question him, . but . cannot
shine him out or make him love to come
out to shine.

ALMOST, BUT NOT.
Lieutenant Shackelton of the British
Navy, got very near the south pole
on his recent venture. It was a case
of being so near, and yet so far, which
is very much like some people . who
come very near to the kingdom with- '
out stepping in. Although the spirit is
willing the flesh is weak, being handi-
capped by fear. Agrippa was almost
persuaded, but failed to go forward,; .
and so did not obtain that immortal

nal life, but.,uot eager enough give

eared more for things of this short
life, than for those things which per-
tain to eternal' life. l\lany people .are
doing the same . thing. They go in the
broad road, with the crowd which'
goeth to destruction.
Intelligent people should be as, wise
in regard to salvation, as they are
about business affairs. Everybody

DISTRICT FINANCES.
Of course. we were all gratified that
the first church to subscribe to the
District Fund wa.s one of the youngest
churches Avenue), and they
subscribed liberally, thus setting a
good example for us all. Now comes
Cucamonga. They also subscribe $50
for the District Fund. Well done,
Cucamonga. Who next?
In our first reference to this matter
we spoke of individual subscriptions,
but it seems that the Churches prefer
to act officially. This is good: Let
every Church in the district take up
the matter and subscribe to the fund.

FROM SISTER CROW.
We just closed a meeting wit4 Revs.
A. B. Riggs and Lanpher in Lowell,
Mass. The precious Holy Ghost con-
victed men of sin, righteousness and
judgment. One man came to a Sunday
evening service, said he loved his drink
. than his meals ; would miss a meal
for a drink any time. He had never
seen it in this fashion before. God's
Spirit convicted him so he did not drinkc
for o ne: ,\reek. At the end of the week
he came back, went to th.e altar and
Jesus met him. Now he is praising
God for full salvatiou. Talk about sin-
ning Christians, there are no such be-
ings on earth. A good case of heaven
horn, Holy Ghost conviction will settle
the sinning Q'!lestion. "Whosoever is
born of God doth not commit sin."-
1 -John 3:9. Well, I praise Him for
deliverance from all si n. There is
power in the blood. How those people
at Lowell did pray. Ntlinbers of SOltls

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-

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

"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

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

\Ve think, nnd rig"L\tly too, that in-

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

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

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

tlwse sehools nrc furnishing presidents,
fH'ineipals and teachers in OUr second-
ary colleges and high schools. In view
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
all these errors and :which gives forth

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.
at the altar call three seekers came for-

l'hc Lot'd blessed us 'vith an unusual
street meeting. Satan tried to hinder

and ,the crowd was larger and attt}n-

the truth whe.n' given in the power of
the Spirit. J esus said,

DISTRICT ASSEMBLY.
The Second Assembly . of the Wash-
itigton (D. C.) Assembly convened in
t he Pentecostal Church of the Nazarene,
in Washington, D. C., April 29 to
:\lay 2, 1909.
The Assembly wns opened with a com-
munion service in charge of General
Sup<'rintendent Reynolds. This service
was a season of r efreshing from the
Lord. . .
: Business st'ssion opened ,promptly at
o'clock, with the General Superin-.
tendent ii1 the chair. The completed
roll call shlH\' ed thirty-seven pastors

Rev. II. H. Hosley. was re-elected Dis-
trict Supt>rii1tt>ndent by a rising vote.
The Distri1t Advisory Board met
and,. in harmony with the desire of the
churches or their representatives, the .
follo\ving arrangements of the churches
and pastor's, were approved:
'l'he singing of Sister J.Jarkin and the
Baltimore sisters, Miss Whitaker and
Miss Deal, was very inspiring and help-
fnl. Ptaise God for sanctified singers.
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
will soon be a much larger district than
at the present. Every preacher was
satisfied with the arrangement made for
him and 'starts out with increased cour-
age and confidence for the coming year.
Praise God for what He has done, is
doing, and what He is going to do in
the coming year.

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.
