'I'he Pentecostal Mission in Uotnbay recently
received a written petition signed by thirty-three
of the chief men of the outcaste F I i ~ ~ dtribe
u liv-
ing outside of Bombay. 'J'hey have heard of
what the Lord is doing elsewhere and they are
crying out for the same blesssings. When the
workers in Bombay were praying a l ~ o u tthis, a
heathen man came up and pressed into the hand
of the Evangelist, one and a half annas (about
two cents), toward spreading the Gospel among
his countrymen. This touching gift from the
poorest of the poor has been used to start an
"outcaste fund." It no doubt represents much
toil and sacrifice. Albert Norton says that wo-
men in the famine district are glad to walk rnany
miles daily for work which brings them four
cents a day. These T3omhay missintiaries can rent
a large room for meetings among this outcaste
tribe for $11.50 a month; the support of a native
evangelist would require another $11.00 per
month but $22.50 a month to give the Gospel to
;r whole tribe that are reaching out for it, seems
very little. W e feel sure someone is ready to
rome to the front and bear this responsibility.
One person might assume the rent and another
the support of the native evangelist. It mav
mean sacrifice, but when the "saints come
marching in" and see a redeemed host come up
from that outcaste tribe, how sweet then will be
the memory of the sacrifice and how rich the re-
ward !
Edith Raugh, Uska Bazar, writes about the
distressing famine conditions as follows :
"The natives are performing many vile re-
ligious ceremonies to appease the wrath of the
gods that rain may come. As an act of humility,
Brahman women have gone out into the fields in
an entirely nude condition and on their hands
and knees been driven over the fields like oxen
all night by the Chamar or lowest caste women.
This is a thing no Brahman woman would think
of doing except a t such a time when they so fear
famine. Ordinarily a Brahman will not touch a
Chamar o r permit them to touch anything they
eat o r wear, large!y because this caste is con-
sidered so very dirty, eating animals that have
died of disease and practicing many other foul
customs."
Mrs. Lillian Denny of Nanpara, U. P. North
Tndia, writes that a Mohammedan lad of good
family has been converted and received water
baptism. H e fled from his relatives, as a kins-
man who had accepted Christ suffered death at
their hands and he feared the same fate. While
in hiding, waiting for his relatives to get over
their anger, he had a vision; he told Mrs. Denny
he saw, "a Man with bright and glorious face
who told me not to fear but to confess to my
relatives my faith and return to you to prepare
for the work of the Lord." Mrs. Denny asks
prayer for him, as he is of a family that will
deeply feel the disgrace and will make the mis-
sion people trouble if possible. T w o Hindu men
of family, holding G o v e r n ~ e n t positions are
about to be baptized, one has been a secret be-
liever for two years. None hut those who have
lived in India realize what it means for thesc
caste people to become Christians. They are
ostracized, persecuted, lioycottctl, : i ~ i t l cven suf-
fer death for their faith.
Dear Mrs. McCarty, working alone near Bhag-
alpur, is still pleading for the Lord to send her a
companion in the work. The J,ord is blessing
in their village and the sick are being healed.
One man two miles away, sick in 1)ed for tlirec
years with large open sores, was visited and
prayed for by two of her native workers. H e
got out of bed the next morning and in a few
days every sore on his Imdy was healcd. In two
weeks he walked two miles to see Mrs. McCarty
and tell her how happy he was. Twelve men
and one woman came from a village begging h e r
to come and pray for the sick. T h e Lord has
been so signally blessing this sister she has been
willing to endure the privations of village life
alone for Jesus' sake; yet we feel it is God's
will for her to have a cotnpanion in the work.
Some stations have a number of missionaries
and our hearts go out to this lone worker. Shc
has been writing us for some time to pray for a
helper in the work and we wish God might lay
this field upon some sister missionary. W e do
not know Sister McCarty personally but those
acquainted with her, both in the homeland and
in Jndia, speak highly of her consecration and
spirit of sacrifice. She writes she has not felt
the need of going to the hills. Her mud house
has high ceilings and the rooms are well venti-
lated with the help of punkahs; so she has been
comfortable while some living in bungalows have
had to go to the hills to escape from the heat.
A Pentecostal Conference of Missionaries was
recently held in Western India at Brother Nor-
ton's "Boys' Christian Home," Dhond. Most of
the provinces of India were represented. One
writer, speaking of the conference said, "We sat
in heavenly places." Many workers in distant
parts of India longed to have part in the blessed
coming together but were not alde. What a
privilege it must have heen to those who have

Now a little personal word: I was educated
at Northfield Seminary and had a year in New
York in slum work at Mott street and in the
Ikre Points JTouse of Industry among Italians.
'I'hougli 1 felt tlie call of God to thc foreign field
I did not go out under tlie Presbyterian Roard
until September, 1896. Then, as soon as T got
the language I took up the work of' the education
of girls, and teaching women in their homes. 1
lived in Northern India in tlie I'unjal), which is
the most northern province, bordering on Af-
ghanistan and naluchistan and Kashmir. T h t
very first thing T did after reaching Tndia was to
get a primer and hegin studying the language. T
studied with a native teacher seven hours a day
tight along, for the Board I was trnder required
it and if we couldn't get the language we had to
come home. When I found J was able to go out
and tell the story of the Cross myself 1 was :t
happy woman. T could then reach the hearts of
the heathen. A Hindu or Mohammedan wo
man will not tell the deep secrets of her heart
through a native interpreter. One of the things
they think wonderful about the white people is
that they can keep secrets. I t pays to get the
language, one can d o so much better work and
the natives have so much more respect for you
I'f one works hard for a year one can get a hold
on the language, and there is no need of any
Pentecostal missionary leaving the field because
the language is difficult. \God will help.
After 1 had been in Tndia for three years my
eyes failed me. T had congestion of tlie optic
nerve and granulation. We had good civil serv
ice men who were able to give me treatment, h u t
my eyes kept getting worse and worse 'I'he
teaching of divine healing had crossed my patl,
before T went to India. T had been for a month
in Dr. Simpson's Bible School and he had said.
"Miss Herron, you are running away from some.
thing that God will bring you to if it takes TTim
ten years to do it." I had replied. "Mr. Simpson,
God will have to do it." Now, when my eyes
failed me and they said there was nothing more
they could do for them God allowed to cross my
path a Miss Edmonds-now Mrs. Clark-who
said, "Jesus healed me of deafness. T am sure
H e will heal you of blindness." T began to wait
upon the Lord, for T was confident i f God did
not do something for my eyes T should have to
leave Tndia. T follnwed R4iss Edtnonds down to
Ramalni's Mission at Mt~lttiwhere, aftct a d;lv'q
lime, T found myself ready to submit to the Iay-
ing on of hands and anointing with oil for heal
ing. Mrs. Baker of Elim Home, Rochester,
N. Y.,who was there at the time, anointed me
and I claimed my healing in the name of Jesus.
'J'Iie work was done! My glasses were laid aside,
the pain was gone and I realized that the tears
I had shed were not necessary. God would have
taken them all away months before and filled me
with laughter and song if 1 had obeyed IIim. M r
Simpson's prophecy had come true in seven
years.
I went back to my post of duty and said to
my missionary brethren that T had been anoint-
ed for healing. They thought me fanatical, but
it did not matter. I knew I had a new life full
of joy and happiness-pain all gone. T went o t ~
for a year in work among the women having
such joy in service. I did not know then h u t
healing being in the atonement but T knew T had
new life in the Lord.
Afterwards 1 became very ill and felt my ex-
perience of divine healing slipping from me. T
would not take any medicine at first, but finally
went to taking quinine. T was sent away from
the mission broken in health and there was just
one cry in my heart, "Lord, I love Tndia, 1 love
the Punjab mission, and if you will heal me some
other way than this of tonics and rest T shal! he
so glad !" T found I had lost t h a t precious placr
with tlic Tmrd, that consciousness of tlic hand
of thc T~ordupon mc all thc time. Tt was the
sorrow of my life. Later, when I had returned
to America, after having been at Clifton Springs
for over three months and finding myself worse
than when T went there. T cried out to Cmd to
heal mc, if possihlc, in somc other way. Whilc
in New York City T went to the Gospel Taherna-
cle and found Dr. Wilson taking the meeting. T
was broken up before the 1,ord and T said.
" T a d , T want you to give me something more
for Tndia." Dr. Wilson came up to me and T
asked him if they anointed with oil for consc-
cration. H e said, "No, we pray for that," and
he laid his hands on me and said, "Here is a sis-
ter who wants to reconsecrate herself to God for
Tndia. Lord, grant that she may be like the ala-
baster box of ointment, that her life may 1)c
broken and poured forth." The words remainad
with me, "that her life may be broken." T ~ ~ n
back to my school in India, teaching the girls
the Rible, and one day, after four o r five years, T
went nyt again among the native people in the
village. T was sick and heartbroken, with that
one cry, "0 God, if I could only ~ e hold
t of Yo11
for my body." I was reading tlic first cllar)tcr
of Ephesians when I came to tlicse words. ''the
power of God which worketh in you mightily,"
 and He said, "I will heal you again." T went
home and took a little bedding-we have to carry
our beds with us in Tndia--and r went a day's
journey to friends who could pray the prayer of
faith. I said, "1 have come to he anr,inted with
oil in the name of the Lord." '['hey not only
anointed and prayed with me, they showed me
healing in the atonement and I got such a vision
of it that I knew I entered into God forever. Oh
the glory and the joy! I had wandered sn long
without this knowledge, for I never wou!d have
allowed that first precious experience of the
Lord's life for my body to slip from me if I
had known how to stand. I went back to my
station with joy, saying, "Lord, J will be true to
You a t any cost." There is at this station a theo-
logical seminary presided over by rigid Presby-
terian ministers who would have nothing to do
with this matter of "faith cure," as they called
it. I told the Lord I would obey anything H e
told me to do and I would not run ahead of Him
by taking the initiative but follow His leading.
T went about my work as usual, ministering to
the low caste people and one day T entered into
a home where there was a sick baby. The father
was a Christian, b u t 1 said not,hing ahout heal-
ing, for I had told the Lord I would wait for
Him to move. The old grandmother challenged
me with, "Miss Sahib, look at this little child
dying and my son is praying all the time. Don't
tell me your Jesus is true!" My heart went up
to God with a cry and instantly the Spirit re-
sponded, "I am here to heal." T told them the
story of my healing and that Jesus when on
earth healed all who were oppressed of the devil
and that H e was the same today. T showed them
the fifth chapter of James and said that. if they
were willing to have me anoint the babe T would
do so. I t was the first time T had anointed in
the name of the Lord. T h e father laid on hands
with me and as we prayed in faith God healed
that babe of infantile paralysis. The little arms
that had lain lifeless for months began to move.
The natives of this community had not been will-
i n e to receive the Gospel, but when they saw
this miracle of healing they said. "If Jesus can
do this we want Him." So twentv-five or thirtv
came out as candidates for hapt,isln and put.
themselves under instruction at once. They had
learned the story of the love of Jew? in a new
and blessed way by the signs follow in^! One
woman who saw the healing of the baby asked
mc to pray for the healing of her goats: so wc
pot down and asked the T&rd to heal them, and
TTe did. Then her cow was sick and she said,
"Z,nrd, if you will heal my cow I will give you
7
eight cents." The Lord healed her cow and she
brought the eight cents and asked us that it
might be spent for Bibles. W e gave it to the
Rible Society with her testimony. Afterward
this woman heard the story of Ananias and Sap-
phira who kept back part of the price and she
came to me saying, "Miss Sahib, I promised the
1,ord I would give Him sixteen cents if H e
would heal my cow and I gave Him only eight
cents. Now J am going to clean the gutters and
lanes and earn money so I can pay all," and she
did. The light and truth of the Gospel had pen-
etrated her heart. That woman is of no caste,
one of the 50,000,000 outcast for whom there is
no place in the Hindu religion.
One of our Presbyterian missionaries came to
me and said, "What are you doing? W e hear
you are anointing with oil and laying on hands.
The Board in New York would not have it and
we are going to report you to the Mission." T
told the missionaries I had indeed been praying
for the sick and God had healed them! now
nothing but the grave could seal my lips. The
missionaries said I would have to go before thr
Roard-that I could believe this doctrine of heal-
ing for myself if I wanted to, but T must not tell
it to others. They said, "We have men who be-
lieve in annihilation but they don't teach it. W e
have men who do not believe in Christ being
Imrn of a virgin but they do not teach it." 1
went before the committee with the conscious-
ness of the power of God upon me and said, "I
cannot refrain from speaking of this truth of
divine healing; it is in the atonement." They
were most courteous but could not see it in the
atonement. I told them it was a message For
Cod's children and 1 must be true t o Him and
tell it. T sat there before them like a little child.
The Spirit said, "Arise and come away and it
shall be well with thee." So I said, "If I cannot
deliver God's message in the Presbyterian
church T must get where I can tell it." Then
and there my connection with the mission in
which T had labored for nearly fourteen years
was severed. God had done it. I returned to
my station and prepared to leave my beloved
work. T had a school roll of one hundred girls,
sixty as the average attendance, and they had
developed so beautifully, learning so much their
parents were proud of them. My heart ached
at the thought of leaving these girls. As I stood
up before them for the last time and began to
pray for them, the Holy Spirit took possession
of me and T stood before them transfixed. T
saw Jesus crucified on the cross, T-Tis hands and
feet having been nailed to the cross by my sin,
and 1 1 1 ~cry o f my soul was, "Lnrd, grant that
not on(. of thest: dear girls shall IIC lost," in tlw
I lintlustani Iilnguagc: this is more empllatic.

years and ten months, cast upon the Lord for my
daily I)rcatl. :;c)tl alone Ivas my contitlant antl

( )ne day in January 1 received a letter from a
Iasiness man in New l ~ n g l a n dwho stated that
early in the rnorning when engaged in prayer,
the 1,ord had 1)rought me vividly to his mind. A
cheque for ten dollars was enclosed in his letter..
1 lo\\. 1 did praise the Lord for l i i s faithfulness!
One day, later, it seemed necessary to take a
journey and yet my funds were insufficient.
\ \ ' M e walking on the rnuidun 1. said to the Lord,
"l.ord, \'ou must help me out!" Keturning to
the bungalow, while sitting with my Bible in
hand in a n attitude of expectation, a fellow-
Christian came into tlie room a n d after a pause
said, with a little embarrassment, "1 don't know
\\.hy, but I must give you some money; it may
Le that you have thousands, but 1 feel 1. must
give you these sixty rupees" (twenty dollars).
1 knew perfectly well why h e felt h e had to give
nw tllis money. \\.bile I was talking to the I d r d
on the tntridizn about my need the 1,ord was mov-
ing upon this Lrother's heart.
.\fter awhile the tests k a m e more severe and
I got dow11 to my last rupee. Standing one clay
in the railway station, I took out my pocket Bi-
ble and, opening it to the fourth chapter of Phil-
ippians, 1 said to the Lord, "Lord, this is Your
l,romise," and then I read to H i m these words:
" l iut my God shall supply all your need accord-
ing to I fis riches in glory by Christ Jesus."
told I lim my need was money to pay my dhobi
and I knew I le would honor His promise. lie-
tiwning to the bungalow, a brother w h o was vis-
iting the station placcd five rupees in my hand.
O n e day a fellow-missionary a n d myself de-
cided to go to 1:asti c~)nsome business concerning
land. \\'e 1)urposely omitted to inform the rajah
( ~0111-

;I I-ouleau of silver coins in my hand, saying,
" 1 'lease accept this money for traveling ex-
1,enses." .\fterwards my companion who kept
tlie account of o u r joint expenses said to me.
"\\'e are lo\v in funds and the rajah's gift helps

praised our God, whose name is Wonderful, as
wc heard irom the lips oi our slster, i\l~ssl<irsch-
ner, the following story of the opening oi l'uncli :
fi few years ago a Lhrlstian wllo was resident
at Calcutta received an appointment as Civil b n -
gineer to the liajah of l'unch, which contains
lens of thousands o i 1~1ollammeclansand llindus.
'lhis civil engineer promptly refused to do any
work on the Lord's day and periodically lie gath-
ered the clerks of his office for instruction in the
Word of God. As time passed on the 1Cajah
manifested his dislike for this civil engineer be-
cause of his Christian principles; but he was
popular with the British residents and so skillful
a man that the Rajah found it inconvenient to
dispense with his services. The Rajah strongly
objected to the Gospel in Punch. h few years
ago one of the l'lymouth .Brethren attempted to
preach in the street in Punch and a mob of angry
natives with lathis drove him out of the place.
About three years ago the engineer had occasion
to revisit Calcutta and in a gathering of mission-
ary ladies there he made an appeal for workers
who would bring the light of the Gospel to the
native women who were living in dense dark-
ness, literally sitting in the shadow of death in
the zenanas in l'unch. Two Eurasian sisters,
Miss Uaker and Miss IGrschner, heard God's call
and with heaven-born wisdom sent a polite notc
to the Rajah saying-not "will you allow us to
I come?" but-"we are corning." Uefore this
prince had summoned resolution to forbid their
entrance into his state they had marched over
the border with their household goods and estab-
lished themselves in a room in the bazaar. 1,ater
they rented a little native, mud-plastered house
which, with some alterations, has been rendered
even homelike. Having gotten settled in their
own home they began to gather the children of
the neighborhood for instruction antl sent a sec-
ond note to the Rajah informing him what they

wonlan pretended to be seeking salvation and in
order to have a qulet talk slle persuaded the mls-
slonal-y to walk Lo a remote spot; but as they
drew near the edge of a steep cliii the Spirit
warned her of danger and she hastily retraced
her steps. She believes that her Nlohammedan
companion intended to push her over the cliil.
l'unch is a inalarious district and these ladies arc
subject both to sickness and deprivations and en-
dure many hardships ; they have little C h r i s t i a ~ ~
fellowship, but they count it all joy to witness
for Jesus in so isolated and needy a place. As a
rule the women are friendly and many are opell
minded concerning the Gospel. One of the great-
est helps ~ h r i s t i a n sin the homeland can render
missi~onaries, particularly those in pioneer dis-
tricts, is to write, occasionally, hearty letters of
Christian fellowship.
On our return from Punch we passed through
a portion of lovely Kashmir, the Switzerland of
India. Only at Srinagar, in the N'orth, are mis-
sionaries tolerated. The Maharajah has sanc-
tioned the work of the C. M. S. at Srinagar be-
cause of medical and educational advantages
which the C. M. S. give in that station to tlie
people On our way South we stopped af L ) w
male and rested for the night.
A government official, it was announced, was
on his way to Dowala; and in anticipation of his
arrival numhers of educated men were strolling
on the river side apparently waiting for an op-
portunity to greet this official. With tracts antl
Scripture portions in my pocket I passed from
group to group, grateful for the opportunity to
speak of Jesus to these intelligent young men.
On the following morning we discovered that the
horse we had engaged was unfit for- travel, and
seeking the Jard's face I-Ie impressed it upon
our hearts to visit a town near by. We called on
the chief official in the place, a llindu, who 11aharajall's policy is similar to that of the Czar

1 had a most cheering letter the other day from
Lirother \\'ill Xorton, of Eahraich, who stated
that he Iiad been studying Nepali with a teacher
who is a Sepalese a n d that h e now felt he would
I I ~enabled to declare the simple truths of the
Gospel to the people living in the interior oi
S e p a l and furthermore that he intended to go
into Sepal a t the risk of his life. I t is a most im-
pressive fact that the Spirit has been during these
past few years, leading various groups of mis-
sionaries to station themselves near the borders
o f this closed land. Mrs. Denny has a band of
workers at Kanpara, which is only a n hour's ride
by train from the border o f Nepal, and recently
she has acquired property directly on tlie
border at Rupidiya. 'I'lie late Miss Ahrams, o f
gracious memory, established a mission at LJska,
Iiasti District, which is less than twenty miles
from the closed kingdom, a n d while she had n o
call to tlie Nepalese exclusively, in the provi-
dence of God her workers a r e settled close to
their covmtry. Quite recently Miss Laura (Gard-
ner with ten workers has started for the S o r t h
of India having Sepal on her heart. Surely the
I ,ord has a distinct purpose in directing the sen1-
ice of so many of I-lis children to the people of
Sepal. 'I'lie Maharajah of Nepal is strongly op-
posed to the Gospel and is fearful lest England
should encroach upon the trade of his country
whicli, it llas heen said, is four huntlred years
1;ehind the more enlightened parts of India. ?'he

up l'ushto. 'I'hat was the language that 1 was
using at the time on the borders of Afghanistan,
and he wrote asking if 1 would receive him into
the mission. Well, to me that was tlie most ab-
surd letter 1 had ever received from a person
wishing to enter missionary work, and as you
know how one can assume dignity and pretend
to be very wise, 1 wrote this dear brother a wise
and dignified letter telling him to exercise com-
mon sense, and that he needn't expect to have
any royal road for getting the language of the
people ; if he wanted t o be a missionary he would
have to go the way of all the other missionarie~.
l'hat brother wrote back and it was my first re-
buke. i f 1 had been in his place and received a
letter like the one I sent him 1 a m sure 1 should
have answered in a very different way from
what he did. I-le wrote back humbly acknowl-
edging all 1 had said and asking my prayers. I
felt he had the spirit of true humility and wliat-
ever he had received he had shown the spirit of
Christ in that reply.
Very soon after this 1 returned to England
and by that time 1 heard the I'entecostal Move-
ment had begun there. 1 had to go to the north
of England to South Shields, a b u t sixteen miles
north of Sunderland, and while there 1 made
up my mind to call at Sunderland and see what
was going on. I: had heard of the Pentecostal
manifestations and it was purely curiosity that
took me. 1 learned the hour of their prayer-
meeting and got there just before it began. 1
thought I'd sit and look on and not have any-
thing to do with the meeting. As 1 waited, in
came women who evidently had been hard at
work all day. Sunderland Church is located
among the working people, and as these people
came in they began to pray. Now 1had been ac-
customed to ordinary church prayer-meetings ;
they last for an hour and it is very difficult to
fill out the hour. W e have a program, two or
three hymns, a Hible reading, and time and again
you have to ask people to pray, and barely fill
out the hour. I had I~een used to that sort of
thing, but in came those people and they imme-
diately began to pray. I was looking around for
manifestations but the only manifestation I saw
was a wonderful joy on the faces of these women
and men as they praised the 1,ord for answers to
the most extraordinary prayers f,or healing. Then
as I listened T heard them pray that God would
heal "So-and-so." This went on and on until
I felt I dare not keep my seat any longer, so I
knelt down and prayed too. 1 went away from
that meeting after two hours and still they
prayed on, That was my second rebuke in criti-
cizlllg l'c~ltecost, but st111 1 cr1tlc1zed a n d
woulun t lidve anything to do with what 1 had
heard. 1 had to go up to Scotland and was 111-
vited LO atdy with a lauy irleild to have a week 5
lest. L V I K ~ 1 got to t ~ frlerld
s In Glasgow I
found she liacl bee11 away to Uumfenln. bile
was a very vivacious old lady and said to me,
" u e a r boy, you must go to Uumierlin. 'Illere
are all kinus of people speaking in the most ex-
traordinary tongues and the most eloquent Ian-.
guage." bhe took me oil' to see the work, and 1
got manifestations there to my heart's content;
more than 1 wanted. I n this nlission there were
children, young girls, men and women taking
part spontaneously; the meetings were in great
confusion, it seemed to me; absolutely no order
at all and yet to my astonishment souls were con-
verted and backsliders reclaimed. 1 could not
reconcile the two things; and then young, timid
girls would feel the constraint of the Iioly Ghost
upon them and they would have a message put
into their hearts to go to some of their friends.
'1hey would go after them and give the friend
the message. .I could not understand these
things ; some seemed to Le the work of God, and
yet L could not think othet. things were. In the
~iotclwhere 1 was staying tliere were four other
i~rethren, large-hearted, simple-minded men,
drinking it all in. They were saying how won-
derful it all was and 1 wished 1 had the same
faith. ' h e y accompanied me to the station and
1. was just shaking lest they'd say "hallelujal~"
on the platform before 1 got away. 1 came into
the center of lkgland and got into the midst of
the Keswick people, and I was as much shocked
by their iciness and aloofness as 1 was by tlie
extremeness of the people in the north.
When 1 got back from London a lady wroie
to me asking me to translate a little booklet,
"'L'he Word of the Cross." I ilnmediately made
an appointment with her. After a few formali-
ties she said to me, "Mr. Norwood, 1 have felt
(;od wanted me to come and bear my testimony
to you p ~ s o n a l l y then
; she went on and told me
how she had received the baptism of the Iioly
Ghost and fire. 'l'hank God for those who obey
the voice of Got1 when 1:Ie s p c a l ~ to their
hearts. llave you ever heard the Spirit of Chd
telling you to launch out on some unusual line?
1)on't disobey. I t is God's wonderful plan of
love for some erring soul, no tloubt. This dear
woman came and told me of the experience she
had,' I,ut I simply said in a very wise and digni-
fied manner that I didn't agree with her. She
was undoubtedly discouraged but as she left
my office she handed me a paper, and when I
~ E C E M R E R ,1913
looked a t it 1 saw it contained the very experi-
ence of the soldier lad a t Calcutta who had writ-
ten to me. So God just put all those little expe-
riences together and showed me it was His hand.
When 1 returned to lndia this lady had sent me
month by month the paper called "Confidence."
1 didn't read it but just cast it aside, for the most
part, unopened. I had to go away from the
heat to the hills and there we dropped down
among these Pentecostal people. I t was extra-
ordinary. We had never met them at the hill-
station before, and in the very house where we
were staying, a sister came along from 1Cama-
bai's home to tell the people what was happening
at Mukti. And before she had left Brother
h'lassey came to the very same station and en-
larged upon what she had said. H e had such
wonderful stories to tell I simply couldn't be-
lieve them. H e told of a child who had curva-
ture of the spine. T h e child was incurable and
the doctor gave no hope lie would ever have
power in his limbs; lie would sit helpless with
his legs dangling. 'L'he father was a man of God
and walked with llim, and one day the l n r d
spoke to him, "I can heal your boy." The father
went home, took the 1)oy on his knees and
prayed, laying his hand on the lad's back. As
he prayed he felt the bones move under his hand,
the spine strengthened and the child was able to
run about. I thrill with joy as Z repeat that,
and I realize now it was true, but then 1 just
laughed at it. In my unbelief what a little Jesus
I had!
In the meantime things began to go wrong at
the mission in which I was working. I had or-
ganized the mission myself for this field, Ceti-
lral Asia, and this disturbance, coupled with m).
own consciousness of weakness in my life, and
with no victory in service-practically speaking
no results-all these things began to make life
scarcely worth living. T h e home department of
our mission began binding the lease, the commit-
tee I had called into existence wanted to control
the work on the field, and yet not one had been
a missionary; they were unacquainted with the
work but held the source of funds; they had me
in their power as they thought. This troul~le
caused me to take a trip to England in 1910.
I h r i n g 1911 things went from bad to worse ; I
didn't understand them, but it was God stirring
up the nest. H e had tried to get in one way antl
1 would not have it, so I3e was taking another
way. H e must use the rod. T h e Lord said to
Saul of Tarsus as he fell on the road to Damas-
cus, "It is hard fior thee to kick against the
pricks." The Lord is not pleased to use the
goad but l l e will have His work done. We must
submit, obey at any cost, and then when the toil
comes we will find a true Yoke-fellow with us.
l l i s yoke is easy and His burden is light. I n
1912 we had to cut away from the old commit-
tee. 'I'here was I, my wife and five children, and
two fellow missionaries. W e didn't know what
to do. I hadn't yet this blessed experience t l l a ~
lifts one so rapturously near the Lord that one
is entranced with l l i m and does not mind how
hard the trial is. S o it was all dark, but I saw
l l i s hand leading us to cut away from the old
committee, and we did-two of my fellow mis-
sionaries joining with me. That meant, of course,
the severance of many ties in the homeland;
but friends heard of what happened, and gath-
ered around us, and were the means in the
Lord's hands of encouraging us and enabling us
to go forward. They had no reason, humanly
speaking, to help us, but God I-Iimself laid the
Ijurden upon them. I tell you this to show you
how the Lord was interested in us, and how H e
had in His Great heart of love, purposes for Cen-
tral Asia, for the millions there in darkness,.
without a ray of light o r a ray of hope.
After this separation the way opened for me
to take an itinerary along one of the mountain
valleys of the I-Iimalayas. I t was called t h ~
Kaghan Valley. I marched up this valley for
or,e hundred and twenty miles and crossed a
pass 13,000 feet high into the lands beyond our
frontier. On the way I preached in the villages,
distributed the Word of God and sought to lead
souls to Christ. O n the way back the Spirit of
the 1,ord dealt with me and finally hrought me
to a decision. As 1 retraced my steps along
the same roads over which 1 had gone, the Sl)ir-
it said to me, "Look a t St. Paul, how he canlc
hack all along the line, strengtl~ening the
churches he had founded. It was a march of
conquest for him, antl when he got lmck he could
:ell them what great things the I ,ord hat1 dont ,
Imt what can you tell? You have riot a convert.
y o u have ncd a church ; you have the same (:os-
1x1 I'aul had. , You are a failure, failure," and
:[)at word rang in my cars like a bell as I
marched back those one hundred and twenty
miles, I ~ I \ I L U R I ~until
! when 1 got l ~ a c kto hhbot-
al)ad I was ready to admit I was a failure. Tlien
I said to my companions, "We will start a pra!.-
~ r m e c t i n gand have some Iiible study clefinitel!.
to see what is wrong with us. W e must have
more power in our work." So we started a
prayer-meeting, but I could not st011 work. I
don't think you would wonder at that ii y o u
knew the condition of things. Just imagitlc o~l::,.

deep m a r k of the cross upon it. Jesus was cruci-
tied in "the place of tn skttll": so, t o ;I considera-
hle extent is everyone who has any mentality,
when speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives ut-
terance. Possibly this is a reason why the h u p
,I)le and illiterate come so much more easily into
tongues, and through them God demonstrates
"The last shall be first and the first last." Thus,
this also becomes a part of Jesus' joy that "Thou
hast hid these things from the wise and prudent
and hast revealed them unto babes." Cad knew
what H e was about when T-lc made this arrange-
ment. "Casting down imaginations (margin,

\Ye all know the value to the individual ,l~eliev-
e r of these three things : T h e profit of spiritual
development (edif cation 1 : the profit of I~eitig
hrought out of mind operations in prayer, in
d o r a t i o n . in delivering messages, into pure spir-
it operations hy the T-Toly Spirit, and the profit of
being hrought into the immediate presence of
God. And since the Church of God is a collec-
tion of individual believers the building up of t l ~ e
Church o r Body of Christ is by "that which ev-
ery joint supplieth." Hence how z&rZ is all that
is given for the edification, the enrichment of the
humhlest member of that ,body. Objection:
"Cut the use of tongues has passed away: it was
given only for the inauguration nf the Church."
Truly it was given for the inauguration of the
Church : ,hut was it only for that inauguration?
The Corinthian epistles were given for usc
t h r ~ u g h o u t the Christian age. Among other
things they contain instruction for the tlse a11c1
regulation of tongues in the assembly. Agai~i,
God tliro~vssome light ttpon the almvc objection
when in Joel's prophecy f Joel 2 :23) the climak
o f Palestine is taken up as a para,hltj in nature I J ~
( h d ' s operations in Grace, making use of its two
marked rain epochs-the "former" for the ger-
mination of the seed and the "latter" for the per-
fection of the harvest. Of these two rain epochs
God says, "I have given you the former rain
n~oderately. I will cause to come down upon
you the former and latter rain in one month."
T h u s showing His plan of not only starting the
Church as H e did in Jerusalem on the day of
Pentecost with the copious rain of the Spirit, ac
companied with mighty rushing wind and Spirit-
given utterance in tongues, but in the end of the
Gospel age t o repeat this Holy Spirit phenome-
non for the maturing of His Grain through ['lat-
ter rain" with "former rain" and that not after
the "moderate" measure of the Acts of the Apoz-
tles" but in the f a r more exceeding measure o f
"latter rain" (which was always double o r treble
the "former" in the Palestine climate) and
"former" in the rapid work all over the earth of
"one month." This brings us to today's historv
with the "latter rain" falling all over the earth
and the tongues accompaniment. By this Joel
2 :23 statement of God two things are fixed : 1st.
that H e would mature His Church grain as the
Palestine climate matured its natural grain. 2nd.
that H e would put a sign in prophecy that, in its
fulfillment, would fix, the nearing time of the
end of the Church age. Thus so necessary would
11e "tongues" that prophecy could not be fulfilled
without them and, moreover, since it was His
plan of procedure to repeat the Jerusalem G r a w
with its descent of the Spirit, and tlie Spirit-giv.-
en tongue utterance, to mature His golden grain
for harvesting, the grain could not otherwise he
~nntured. This is a view of the use of tongue?
that many fail to take. Let no false inference
'he made that it has been taught that none will
he caught away t o the I,ord in the air who have
not spoken in tongues. O h , no! oh. n o ! T h c
natural inference from this prophecy, 11oweve1-.
ir-. that God will not ,be able to mature His
grain, or-to drop the figure-make ready His
people for that event, without a great outpour-
ing of His Spirit according to the old Jerusalem
pattern, accompanied with tongues. Does H e
not teach us that, as the "latter rain" was neces-
sary for the ripening of the Palestine crops, sts
Cod in His sovereign purpose has made salva-
tion's scheme dependent on latter rain grace in
His harvesting? Not that every individual Chris-
tian must necessarily he found, before the catch-
ing away, speaking in tongues. P o r various dis-
ciplinary purposes God. might permit sirme o f

that wit11 this marvelous outpouring of the Tidy
Ghost as on the Day of Pentecost, the members
of the Iiody of Christ scattered throughout thc
entire world must have felt a thrill of life.
T h e following .4ugust, when in C'oloml~o,Ccy-
Ion, a missionary told me that someone it1 Cal-
ifornia had spoken in tongues and l said, "Tf this
is true, tllc gift of tongues will bccomc the lier-

had not occurrcd to me tliat there is a Scriptural
connection Ixtween the Pentecostal haplism o f
the Holy Ghost and the sign of tongues.
During the Christmas holidays in 1906 a coni-
pany of missionaries and Christian workers as-
sembled in Calcutta from North and West and
South and a few came who were resident in
Ceylon. T h e ohject of this gathering was to
wait on the 1,ord for more spiritual power for
service. Pastor Otto Stockmayer was our lead-

chapel one hundred years ago and M r . and Mrs.
Garr werc invited to hold meetings in this his-
toric huilditig, which was situated in a beautiful
grove: imtnediately in the rear of the chapel was
the parsonage. T had never up to this time

and power as were given in this series of meet-
ings. Tn one of the earlier ones of the series.
after a quiet Rihle talk given by Rrother Garr,
a spirit of intense conviction seized some who
were present. A young Rritish soldier was sud-
