Much is ((1/1nl faith and /,TI'sltlllcd to be f:uth, and nD"I'Yn/ flJr f:Ulh which is a Illen: call1ounagl', awl this Wt' know by thl: fact that it dot'S not work. Th,~ ~lIhstit\1te for faith is always

r ollowed up hy sut.:h all too familiar ex­prt'ssions as, "\\'c.: had such fa iih, and v('1 \vllat Wl' praYl'd for did Ilot comc to j>ass," "\\ 'e had all the faith it is pos­sihll' fur ;1.11\"011t' tu ha\'(; and-yct-," " I knn\\' I ·!Jt'lil'\'(' Cod. and still Illy prayt'l" was Hot answt'rt'd." "I believcd God for thaI, ami yl' t I did nul get it. what 1 S the malttr?"

H('asoll<'; and answers must be and arc iOlllld in God's Ictter to humanity, "}Ie kno\\,l,th our fratllt', lie rCll1embereth lh .. t we a rc dust," thereforc li e speaks din'ctly into our perplexities , if we will ouly read ane! harkl'IL 1 lis dcfinition of iaith is thi s: ",",;u th is the substance of things hop('d for. thc n·idence of thing-., not sL'en."

"Substance" ml'a ns in the Greck, that which ~tands undl'I", or sllpport~ o r is thc iOUlulation of. Faith is the basis of that which i., hoped fnr and til(' assurance of things not sten. II is t:xpla nat ion of how to kl\·c faith is this: "l ll' that cometh to (;0<1 must Il::!il'\l' that he is. and that he is a !'c'h'ardl'r of them that diligently -.eck h im."

I-l is lilu~trati()ns of this faith are con* crete, ter~cl)' g-i n'll , and understandable.

"By fa ith .\bel oITercd unto God a Hlorc exccJlcnt sacrificc than Cain." \Vhy? Turn to the hiography of Abel I1ld Cain given in the first book o f

God 's Cundensed Encyclopedia, chapter -1-, and we fi nd the reason: Abel did what rood told him to do ; C1.in did as he pleased. By this we know that Abel be­lieved God and Cain thought he knew better than God. Abel's portrait hangs in God's OWII picture gallery, the eleventh

chapter of I lcbrews, and is one of the most prominent and elTect ive figures in the history of thc world, ever calling at­tt-ntiol1 to the One Plan of Salvation giwll to till' world, Hcdemption by Sub* stittltion.

I s faith thl'n, rea l, active, practical, sl'llslhlt, operative?

\\'c find another portrait: ":\'oah be­ing" warn('d of God, prcpared an ark to the s:l\·ing of his house: by , .. ,hieh he condt'llllll'd Ihe world, and becamc heir of the righteousness wh ich is hy faith."

Through faith, he saved his entire fam­ily and ht'came an heir. \Vhat was his faith? God saId a flood was coming, and told him how to escape it. lIe believed ancl ~cted accordingly,

\\'as he not sensible in doing thi s? \\'as he not practical in carrying out in­structions? \-Vas he not steadfas t, re­liahle and undauntcd? Did he not rcap the rcward of his fa ith wh ich created a SCCl1re abode against the day of dis­a~ter ?

Faith must be practiced and cxcrcised o r else it hecomes dormant, paralyzed, in* effecti\"('. 1t is known by the fact that things COIII(' to pass becausc of its ex­i.-.te11c('. Thc faith itself is thc cvidcnce of Ihings not seen , But the thing seen is the e,·idcncc of the unseen faith which preccded it. (See Rom, 4 :12).

View the descendants of Ahraham, thcir hi story a nd present operation in the world. \Vherc did they corne from? \\" h)' arc they so easily idcnti fied? \Vhy arc they of sllch great intcrcst to God's people. and so dcspised by many nations?

Take agai n a little timc to search the Encyclopedia which may be "lying on I he shcl f."

You will find that Abraham hea rd from God. beli eved, obeycd and got rc* suits. That is the story in a nut*shcll . The rcad('r t an fill in thc details. The story is thrilling, truc, inspi r ing and ' it will build a like faith in the reader of it.

Abraham's wife, Sarah, has a history all hcr OW I1 . S he laughed at the impos­sible which God had said would be. She wa..; rcproved, then she believed. and thl'1J she received, "because she judged Him fa;thful that had promised,"

Their faith was not only obedient and operative, but amazi l1gly courageous and patient and ahle to endure; and the rea­son for this is given; "for he looked fo r

a city which hath foundations. whose maker and huilder is God." "For they that say such things (confessed that they were !:> trange r:-. and pilgrims on the earth) declare plainly Ihat tiley seck a country."

Faith cOllies fro m God and is exer­cised toward God concerning some real Ilc6id which cn'ates a demand. "Fai th com(;th by hcaring- and hearing by the word of God:'

\Vhell a mall III lUodtrn time,:; bccomes an outstanding ('xalllple of a faith which is real and therefore productive, he is con fronted on all sides with a demand as to the dhow" of it all. In answer to this George )'11I('][('r has dinllged many of the :.ecrets of hi!'; man-c1o usly ope ra* tive faith. and thcy arc so simple. The world stumbles o\·cr the ~ llllpjicit)' of the gospel-Chri sti a.ns stumble over the sim­plicity of fai th. . \ Chi nese teacher said to onc who was seeking to lead him to Jesus and the belwfi ts of Ili s atonement, "Your Gospel too simplc, r like Con­fucius' w rit ings."

George Mucller declares that his faith was no "new brand." As the nced in hi s orphanages incrcased, his faith in God increased in proportion. Since God had answered the request fo r t en dol­lars, he bccamc cOlwinced that the Ilea"~ eniy ~'atllcr who b<.:jlc1~ the :lecds of thcse little ones, could send on(; hundred, even though he could Ilot imaginc the whereabouts of thc human instrument. Turning away from things seeable George ~ I ueller bclic\'ecl the God who promised to supply e\'l'I'y need. rI c would not (,\'(;11 keep ill hi s employ a ~(' I \'nllt who pers isit'd ill dOllbtillg Cud.

The efTects of thi s faith of his are nbutldantly visible to the world. Tho\!* !'ancls of orphans were supported, taught and trained. and thousands of Christians built up. J f wc desire 1110re fai th wc should read thc autobiography of this man.

Is it true theil, that faith grows through practice? That it is a. usable th ing , that it mo ... es God and man? That it brings things to pass? That it is simple, not imricate a nd pe rplexing as many make it? F aith steps out on Ihe promise and finds a sol id bridge 011 which 10 walk. ;'1 fe that asketh, rccei ... cth ; H c that seek­eth fin deth.

year-old looked lip into my face and said with due emphasis, "Mama 1 wallt a dolL" S he had evidently lost interest in her old one. 1 replied, " \\~ell , why don't you ask] CStlS to send YOtl one?"

"Shall we, right IIOW?" she asked. '. Yes, right now." Closing her big blue eyes she asked

Jesus for a doll, thell looked up saying, "Now J'II get it, WOH't I 11ama?" Un­consciously she was obeying the words of Jesus, ;'Believe that ye receive and )'e shall have,"

] had suggested her praying, because we, as a family wcre directly dependent upon Gael for the suppl )' of every need, being in lli s se r\'ice without sa lary, :lnd 1 reallv felt if the chi ld had a new doll God \\;ould have to provide it.

:\othing marc was sa id about the doll. It was ncar Ch ristmas. A dear old lady, known as Aunty F itch, called at our home for the flrst time, She carri ed a package and as she Ull folded the news­paper wrapping she said , Hi\ow I call thi s my faith doll." 1t was a long, rather old-fashioned doll lying on her lap. She cont inued. <;1 had just the body and a qua rter, so I went to a f riend who works in a deparlment store, and asked her if they had doll heads. She took out o f a drawer one that T thought would do and T handed her the CJuarter."

"No," she said, "I want to have a part in thi s doll."

The doll being complete, what about the wardrobe? So each little article of clothing had its history, even the knit jacket, and by the time l\unty Fitch fin­ished, 1 A'Hew it was a " Faith doll." But that was not all. S he explained that she had been gett ing it ready for a tin)' relati ve back east , but p ile day the Lord sa id to her, "One of 1 1rs. Dixon's little girl s," and she designated wilich one.

That great God whose creations are a marvel to Astronomers , to Botanists and Zoologists ; who makes the constel­lal ions and tile violets and the ant, can do (lJl),titillg; but that TIe does do such things as listen to a ch ild' s prayer and create a doll just to J.l1swer that prayer, is most marvelous of all and brings Him very, very ncar. Docs IIe love simpl i­city ? li e said , "Except ye he cO!1n::rted and become as thi s litlle child ye shall in no wise enter into the Kingdom of God."

Rut why is F aith quiet, restf ul , calm, pa t ient, as well as persistent, diligent and intense?

T he answer is : Because J-Ie IS , and lIe is a RE\'VARDER of them that dil­iO"ently seck Him. The Source of our f~it h , the A uthor of the promises, I S , That is the reason the believer ceases f rom his own works, and enters into rest; he even del ights in watching God work. H e literally "lets go and lets

God" work. 1 [e K~O\VS God is work­ing because he bcJicyes what God savs,

Is rest compatible with activi ty, per­sistence and real work? James said; "I will show thee 111)' faith by my works."

Always a restful, quiet, faith-filled heart works \vith the greatest energy and persistcnce. because it has confidencc and expects results. ] t does not l11ind the number of hours, the amount of perspir­ation , the weariness, the oft-times battle, tbe array of \'islble difficulties, just be­cause it is faith, Paradoxical? Yes and no. t\ e\'er puzzle about faith nor try to haye it, as that results only in these disappointing counler f eits. Just hao'e it. God's word is true and H e said, "Ilao'c the faith of God," Mark 11 :22, margin. Ask for it, accept it, take pos­session of it. It works becausc our Fa­ther responds to it always, Jcsus said, " \\rhatsoc,,cr yc ask in l11y name, that will I do , that the F ather may be glor i­fied in thc Son."

It workct h by lo\·e. "Though 1 have all faith so that T could remoye moun­tains and have not love l am nothing ." ( I Cor. 13 :2)

Jesus said, " :'1an)" shall say unto me in that day Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name done many wonderful works? Anci Ihen T will profess unto them. I ncver knew you; depart f rom me, ye that work iniquity." Matt. 7 :22, 23.

These works had not been done by lo\'e. God is love and he that dwelleth in love. dwelleth in God . \Vhen J esus healed the sick, he was moved with com­pass ion toward them. IIe worked . by love,

God loves His own. All His com­mands and conditional promises are the guarantee of His enabling. ''''hen lIe says "Go ye" He wilf make the way, \Vhen De says, "Owe no man anything but to love one another," He obligates H imself to make the way for .Hi s child to obey, \..vhen He gives a call for any­thing, H e is behind the call. He is moved b), Jove, All our petitions, all our works, all our faith must be actuated by divine lo\'e, in orde r to rece ive div ine attention.

Also there is an element o f right ap­proach to our Maker. An institution was just getting its start and r was teaching without remuneration , determined to learn how to t rust the promises of God. A shining- live dollar gold piece came to me, I wen t to the city to spend it, but being in need of so man)' things I was unable to decide which need was greatest and returned with nothing but the gold piece. That night it was stolen from my room. Instantly, in place of disappoint­ment, there welled up the words "You treated Me as though that was all I had." I replied, "All right Lord, I ask

you I IO'W for twenty-fivc dollars." \\,ithin three da)'s, I had recei\'cd ovcr thirty­three.

Our Lord is so ncar, so iO\'ing, so con­!'i<il'ratc, so patient, so tender, \Y)", can we help but repose in Il im and treat Him a"i though He is and fares, and call and l.~';l!!

".\11 things arc poss ible to 11 illl that helie"eth," but "without faith It is 11/1-

possible 10 pleas£' lIim,"

Partak ers of Christ ., Partakers 0 f Christ !" 1 Leb, 3: 1~ .

Remarkable phrase! Ponder it, try to reach the depth and fullness of ib mean­ing. \\'c may be discipks of Christ, followcrs, friends, belie\'ers; but some­thing more is implied in the word "par­If/hI'S" of Ch ri st. To partake is more than to possess. J l11a), possess many things. without partaking of them.

" \Ve arc become partakers of Christ ." It is something acquired, something at­tained. a new endowment and enrichment of our being. God is not only among us. but also ill tiS, Om relation to 11im reaches this most intimate union and fel ­lowship. \\'e not only behold T1im, adore H illl , approach I l im , touch llim, trust Him: we rccrivr Him. \\'e draw from 1-1 illl t he Ii f e. and Im'c, and righteousness, and purity of which] Ie is the sale and infinite Source.

The true Christ ian lives by continually receiving li fe from " The Li ving One," and for cver and c\'e r the secret of our being and blessedness is, not that we hecome possessors, but that we have be­come parlakers of the divine nuturc­"partaking o f Chri st." Our partaking of Christ is not a fi gure of speech, a mystical dream ; it is a statement o f a fact, as literal as any law of nature. The union of sunlight and fl owers, the flow of sap in shrubs and fruits, is not 1110re real than is the union o f Christ 's Spi rit with oms, Partakers of Him, we become partakers wilh I-lim, sharers of Hi s triumph, His kingdom, His joy, His glory-jointMheirs with JI im of im­mortality.

Christianity in Four Words Christ ianity can be condensed into

four words: Admit, Submit, Commit and Transmit, Let us use these four words in one sentence, expressing a g reat truth . ' Vhen a man is ready to a"lItit Christ into his life, and then submit him self to the will of Christ, commit his way unto the Lord, and translllit his knowledge to others , he puts himsel f in position to be of the largest possible se rvice to God and hu­manity.

"God docs not ask tiS to analyze, di s­sect and explain Him. H e wants us to love, revcrence, and ser ve Him."

l'IIYt' Four THE PENTECOSTAL EVANGEL

god ~ath c$et--~elps James Sa/ler

In 1 Cor. 12 :28, Ifclps is listed in the f0l111il class of church offices.

1 t comes from a roOl Illeaning "to suit, be of !>.('nicc," etc, \Vc think of help as assistance, succor; to remedy, cure or mitigate pain; to forbear , avoid, etc,

III 0 111' text it has, primarily, the thought of ;'supporling," bting a pillar; a stand·by; or to gi\'c it a personal ap· plication, shall we say, someone who can carry weight, responsibility, be rel ied upon.

In times of crisis every assembly di· vide!>. into two camps: the "Get·outers" and the "Get·downe rs." This is illustrated in the first chapter of the book of Ruth. \\'I1('n the famine came some went to the -;\foahites; the others w('nt to God ulllil f('viva l came and there was bread once more in Rl'lhlehelll (the house of bread) .

It is ('asy to (h.' tl'l'I n ine, to which camp we bdong-. .\re we known to our pas· tor and place of worship as a supporter or ? ? ?

Thl' idea of slIccor is al!>.o found in the word. This is exempl ified in Acts 27 :17, whc:re \\IC rl'ad that "they used helps undergirding lhe sh ip." To "frap" is our modern marine te rm for under­girding, and means to pass fOllr or five turns of a large cahle-Iaid rope around the hull or frame of a ship, to support her in a great storm; o r otherwise, when it is feared that she is not strong enough to resis t the violent efforts of the sea.

Shall we say that "instead of Aeeing alit of the ship under colour as though to cast Oll t anchors," it means standing by the old vessel in the storm to do our bit ill binding and bless ing.

,\bout nineteen hundred years ago, Paul wrote, "1 commend unto you Phebe, our si~te r, a SlI ccor of many and of myself a lso." She protected and pro· videc\ for God's people, and was entrus ted by Paul to carry the Epistle to the Ro· mails from Cori nth to Rome.

lI ow often we 113\'e read ).lartha's appeal, ';Bid her that she help me." Send someone to lake hold with me. This is the cry of many an overworked and isolated servant of God. "Come over and "rip us," IS not only a Mace· danian appeal but IS the plea of most missions today.

\Vhat a blessed kind of help is that mentioned in 2 Cor. 1: 11, "Ye also help­ing together b), prayer for us." Fe1· low workers must be fell ow pray·ers or there will be friction.

XC) help is so powerful as prayerful Il('lp; nor is any other hdp of such a uninrsal kind.

Thc lifting- up of holy hands some· timt's rt·quires the help of all Aaron and a Ilur . Even Paul pleaded, "Pray for Illt'. Is it needful to emphasize how greatly help of lhc "together kind" is rl.'fjuircd today?

I 1t·II', to be effectual. Illllst be of the "Iinwly" as well as the "togNhcr" kind. \\'I\('n 1\'I{'r and his brothcr Andrew saw their !l('t \\-as breaking because of th(' grl'~lt Illultitude of fishes in it "they bcckorl('d Ill1to their par tll(!rs which were ill the other ship that thty should cOllle and hclp them."

Il avc YOll ever heen out fishing when llw Oil!,: next W you was pulling in fi:-.h('s as fast as he could. while no mat­tt'r how \'011 tried VOl! could not land a singk' Ollt':O .\l1other man's net full and yol\1's empty! Hemembcr, too , in thi s respect the disposition of James and John. They were the pair who sa id, "r-.rastcr we saw one casting out devil s in llw name and we forbad him because he followeth not with ll S," and later wanted to call down fire from heaven to cOllsume the Samaritans. A Iso we must take into accoullt that they had toiled all night and had caught nothing.

But why g-o back to J ames and John ? Is tl not true today that many fishermen would rather have two fish in their net than t\\'o hundrcd ill that of another fis herman? Do we view the other fishe rman as a co,npctitor or a coworker? Do we conside r his work as rival or reci procal ?

lkl pi ng- to land another man's catch o f fi!Sh is not an easy job, and it IS often a wry thankless aile. Spiritualize this and sec if yOll find it eas), or difficult to go to _Peter' s help.

Of Apollos. we read that he was Hela· quent, mig-hly in the Scriptures, fervent , d ili gent, hold." Yct he knew only the .... Bapti!ST1l of John." BlIt he was teach· able (even suffering a woman to teach him), and so we find that "he IIe/ped thelll much which had believed through grace."

Then w('re they all of good cheer."

Joy, like grumbling. is cOlllagious. It is a cClnllllodity of \\'hich the more you gin .. the more you get. "The Spirit of the I .orc\ Cod is upon :\h .. '-to gi1.lr the oil of joy for mOlfrl/illg ."

----Prayer Power

"For as a prince hast thou power with God and with Ill(!n, and hast pre\·ailed.­Genesis 32 :28.

For the wcapons of our warfare are not carnal , but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.-2 Cor. 10;4.

Prayer power is not only the most direct, hut also the most effective force that call be brought to bear upon the many dimenlt problems that exist in the Lord's work. There are various sub­stitutes for the true working of the Lord in evidence in religious circles to­day, such as psychic influence, and the power of oratory and personality. These Illay arouse temporary interest and en­thusiasm, and give the semblance of suc­cess, but they are lacking in the life­giving elements that abide.

Prayer is not only more effective than other methods of carrying forward the work of the Lord, but it has also the further great advantage of being free from human schemes and carnal manipu­lations. lie who waits upon God 1110ves on in quiet confidence and needs neither the blare of trumpets nor press agents' methods to announce his success, but in godly fear. leaves until the day of Christ's return the record of achie\'e­tllent.

The whole tendellcy in the life of prayer is to bring us to the place of cr~lC i 0xion. and. to $chool us in the g reat pnncq)les of nghteousness, justice, and love. Hoses, with subl ime faith and <Ieepe:-.t sci f -renunciation, refused the Lo~d's ofTer to make of him a great natIOn. and to hlot out unfaithful Israel. 11e was willing even to have his name hlotted f rom the Book of Life if thereby he Illight be the Illeans of sa"ing his people. Thus we see that true prayer partakes of the sac rifI cial spi rit of Cal­vary.

c7ln C9pium c$!aye [J3ecomes a CJJeacon Marie Srephany, Shansi, Norrh China

In many towns in the section of China where I am laboring we have what we call Opium H.efugcs. These are rooms set ~part where men who ha\"e the opium habit may come. They arc kept a month m.ld during this time they arc watched Illgh.t and day. During the day three services arc held for these men, and in hetween times those in chaf"e talk to them about the power of G~d that is able ~o change their lives and gi\'c thel11 the nctory on:r the opium habit.

J n a certain town there was one young ~lIan who bclong('(1 to a \-cry wealthy fam­ily. J Ie wa'i an opium addict, but his mother was afraid to let him come to the foreign mission. The Chinese often think we han some powerful medicine that we will give them. and then when they die that wc wili claim their tOIl"lIe heart, and eyes to send to America h fo; medicine. So this mother was not willing for hel" boy to come to us. But finallr the boy's mother-ill-law, through coming to one of our places, was marvelously delivered frol11 opium and that gave the hoy cO\lrage. The mother said, "lIe is so miserahle and is stealing everything he can put his hands on. \Vhat if the for­ei:;ners do do away with him? \Ve won't lose much anyhow. Let him go."

So the boy went. One of our evan­gelists took him in hand. lIe was healed of opium addiction and soon there was a marvelous change of heart. The Illother was delighted. He went back home, but through eating too much he became verv ill. His mother and the doctor she called in had no hope for his life. He was in fTr"'at oain and his mother ur.!!ed him to take some opium to ease the pain, but he replied, "Mother T will die before T let that stuff tOtlch my mouth again. I don't want it. I would rather die."

The mother iJecome frightened and fin­ally sent for the Chri!';tians. They came, prayed for him. and the boy was healed. This touched the mother's heart and she became a little bit more lenient towards us. A fte r we have held an evangelistic campaign in a town for a month. we tell th(' neople that if they want a mission of their own, they must get the chapel ready and we will send them workers whom they are to he responsible for. This boy wanted us to come to that town and start a mission, and he asked hi s mother if she would en tertain the workers. But the mother was not willing. The boy was living such a beaut iful li fe before her since his conversion that for his sake she finaJly decided to let the workers come.

• \t first the mother camc to the service ju~t to he politc, but linally the \\'ord of God began to work ill her heart. One evening- a.s slJt: was retiring- she was hUIll­

mill&! onc of the songs. For fourteen years she had a stirT kg that could not be hent at all, and while ~he was slIlg­ing th3t song oycr and oyer she began to cry and laugh and the first thing !-ihe h.lle\\" :>he could bend that leg. God so marnlous]y hlessed her that her sons heard her.- The\' \\'onckrt.'d if an nil :>plnt had 1-:"9t ho-ld of their mother, but they h.ue\\" thl' tvil spirits would not af­fect her in such a man11er. So they called the Bihle woman. The Bihle WOIll­

an came to ht.'1" room and prayed with the mother, and the Clr:-.t tllll1~ :-.he knew the mother was heing- l111ed with thc 1101), Spirit and sp(';aking in otht.'r ton~ll{,s. The oldest son was home from the co~t where he had a po:-.itioll in Ol1e of the banks. Since his father was dead he now was the head of the hOllse. \Vhen the mother saw him she comlllanued him 10 take down the idols. lJe took thcm down but put the111 in his own room. ":'lolher is just having' 3 queer spell," he thought, "and I'll just put the idols here for safe keeping.

Then the mother commanded this old­est son to gin up his opiulll. "Jesus will heal YOll. Jesus will ~;lVe you. 1 n the name of Jeslls 1 cOlllmand YOU to g ive up your opium. This is the t'rue re­ligion. This is the true God." \Vhen the two sons heard their mother ~peak­ing in a language they did not under:-.tand, they could not comprehend it. The Bible woman had not been there long enough to explain to the people a.bout the Holy Spirit, but now she showed them frolll the Scripture just what this wonderful experience was.

Soon after this the oldest SOl1 was saved, healed, and fdled with the Spirit, and the second son has been made 011e

of the deacons in the local church. E\'ery year he takes in between eighty and a hundred people into an opiulll refuge he has opened, seeking to win them by lov­ing care. :Many of them arc transformed and give up their opium, delivered by the same powerful God who sct him free in the days past.

Pay/' Six TilE PENTECOSTAL EVANGEL

eonsecration and c£tewardship By Pastor R. E. McAlister. London. Onl.

True scriptural consecration involves and embraces every relationship in life, r rom the smallest to the greatest. \Vhen thus consecrated to God, every relation­ship in life is sanctified, and thus made holy and sacred. Failure to sec this, and recognize it, accounts for 1110st of the failures in the Christian life. To those who arc thus consecrated, all things work together for good, hecause they love the Lord, and arc called according to His purposc. So saith the scriptures.

If all things arc working together for good, from God's viewpoint, success is a!)~urcd; fail.ue is out of the question.

In the first Psalm, we fllld that the blessed man, walks not acco:.ding to the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful, but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law doth he meditate day and night. If daily and nightly he meditates on the law of God, and lives in harmony with the principles of these di vine laws, the Psalmist declares thnt whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. He sha ll be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, which bringeth forth its fruit in its season, and whatsover he doeth shall prosper.

Now there are Illany relationships in lifc, sllch as the social relationship, busi­ness relationship, family relationship, chl1rch relationship, and so on; all of which are sacred when sanctified by true consecration and union with God. Let no one imagine for a moment that they can live in any relationship of life, out of hannony with the wilt of God, and at the same time enjoy God's full fellow­ship and presence. Our entire lives are made up by these relationships, and it is only as we live in harmony with God, that unbroken fellowship and com-1l111 1ol ion and blessing can be maintained. Time and space will not permit dealing with all these relationships, but there is olle with which we wish to deal, es­pecially. This is a very vital one and quite often is the acid test to every other relation-thc relation of Stewardship.

In Luke's Gospel, chapter sixteen, verses one to thirteen, we have a mar­vellous lesson in stewardship. Steward­ship here involves those temporal things of life, over which we have control, and for which we are responsible. \,Ve read in this connection, "It is required of stewards, that a man be found faithful." In verse ten we read, "He that is faith­ful in that which is least, is faithful also

in much, and he that is unjust in the least, is unjust also ill much." In other words, it simply says that a man cannot be faithful in spiritual things, if he is not faithful first in temporal things. Verse cleven, "Tf therefore ye have not becn faithful in the unrighteous mam­mon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?" This teaches us that if we are unfaithful as stcward:-. in the tcm­poral things of life over which God has given us control, that God will not im­part to us the spiritual riches. Further· morc, in verse twelve, "I f ye havc not been faithful in that which is anothcr man's, who shall give YOll that which is your own." Not only does unfaithful­ness in thc temporal affairs of life cut off the resou rces of God's spiritual rich­es; but the reflex of unfaithfulness in the temporal affairs of life may be the means of withdrawing from us, that which otherwise could be called our own, resulting in temporal and spiritual pov­erty.

Furthermore, in this le~soT1 we sec that the result of the principles illvolved in stewardship, have not only a renex in time, but an echo in eternity. Listen to verse nine, "And I say unto yOll, make to yourselves friends of the mamlllon of unrighteousness, that when ye fail, they may receive you il1to everlasting habitations." The mammon of unright­eousness is, without question, legal ten­der. Legal tender has to do with time. We call1lot take it with us when we die. There is no pocket in a shroud. How c.1.n we make friends with the mammon of ullfighteousness, so that it will re­echo in eternity, and welcome liS to an everlasting habitation? Simply by trans­lating it out of the natural kingdom to the heavenly kingdom. All money given to the extension of the work of Christ, is translated from the natural kingdom to the heaven ly, and Ollr riches in eternity arc reckoned by the percentage trans· lated. It is not the gross amount given that COU lltS, it is the percentage. The wirJow who cast in the mite, gave a greater percentage than the others, and recei\'ed the Lord's commendation. Throughout fhe scriptures we see that the percentage basis is the basis on which God recognizes our giving.

A certa in percentage lawfully belongs to God. A certain percentage lawfully is our own, but when consecrated, we become stewards, and that which is our own must be regarded as His, for we arc His, and all we have belongs to

February 27. 1937

Him. Consequently we become stewards with the full respon!)ibility as to what we do with that portion of earthly treas· ures that we call our own.

".\lake to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness, that when ye fail they may receive you into ever­lasting habitations." Here is a man who consecrates his life and service to Christ. He contributes of his earthly treasures, o\'(.:r which he is steward, to the exten­sion of the kingdom of God, in the home-land and in the foreign land. This contribution makes possible evangelism. Evangelism results in the salvation of souls. Many of these who have been saved, die, and go to heaven. Later on this steward fails, as far as this world is concerned. He must now leave this world and cease to deal in legal tender. Those who have been saved through his contributions and are in heaven, hear that the Illan who supplied the (Illances to bring them the gospel is coming to join them. They get together and form a reception committee. They are wait­ing to receive him, and midst thl! shouts of praise and worship, he is received into everlasting habitations. Thus he has made for himself friends, with the mam­mon of unrighteousness, that when he failed, he was received into everlasting habitat ions.

There are just two kingdoms. The kingdom of God, and the kingdom of Satan. Every person in the world is in either one of these kingdoms, and the extent that we consecrate to God the earthly possessions with which He has blessed us, determines whether these earthly possessions are in the kingdom of God or the kingdom of Satan. One of the sad and disappointing things ahout the Christian Ii fe is to find men and women who have been blessed with earthly goods and have told the people over and over that they were consecrat­ed to God, and had given up everything to the Lord Jesus Christ, but alas ,. they failed in the acid test. \·Vhen they make their wills, quite often, they take of those earthly treasures, with which God has blessed them, and they will them to unsaved relatives. But so doing, they simply transfer them from the King. d0111 of God to t-he kingdom of Salton, and they enter heaven that much the poorer. Their eternal loss is not the saddest part of it. The saddest part of the whole situation is that their testi­mony while living, is largely annulled. Had the love of Christ been the pro­pelling influence in their life, thy cer· tainly would not, in the acid test, and in the final crisis, transfer their earthly possessions to the kingdom of Satan, and thus rob Christ and His church, in so doing.

We arc all acquainted with too many

Fcbmary 27, 1937

cases who betrayed their trust in the final test. In their will, they might have cleared ofT the indebtedness of the local church, or the local parsonage. They might have sent missionaries to the foreign field, and established mission stations, and made possible aggressi"e evangelism on the mission field. They might have endowed thc ministerial fund, to help the aged ministers who have given their lives for the cause of Christ, but alas! in their will, they sim­ply left to uns. ... ved relatives, the treas­ures with which God had blessed them, and over which they were stewards and for which they were responsible. By so doing they translated them from the kingdom of God to the kingdom of Satan and wcn t into Eternity that much the poorer.

And yet there is a better way than that. It is to give while you are living. \Vilis are frequently disputed. Said the )'laster, "L1.y not up for yourselves treasures upon earth ... but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven ... for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

"We shall all stand before the judg­ment scat of Christ, to give an accollnt of the deeds done in the body, accord­ing to that we have done, whether it be good or bad." \Ve can sec c1ear-ly why it is necessary that everyone should ap­pear before the judgment scat of Christ. It is not a matter of being saved or lost. It is a matter of being judged and rewarded for the things done in the body after we arc saved, whether good or bad. Consecration wil! help you to play safe for time and eternity.

Three men were talking together after the Chicago fire. One of them said, "Thank God, there was some of my money placed where it could not burn." As he turned away, one of the others said to his companion , "That man gave away last year nearly a million dollars, and if I had not been a fool, I should have done the same."

Prayer That Prevails Seek entirely to depend on God for

everything. Put yourself and your work into His hands. When thinking of any new undertaking, ask, "Is this ogrt'Cob/e to the mimi of God! Is it for lIis glory!" 1£ it is not for Hi s glory, it is not for yom good, and you must haye nothing to do with it. :\Iind that! l'lay~ ing c;ettled that a certain course is for the glory of God, begin it in Ilis name, and continue it to the end. Undertake it in prayer and faith, and ne\'er giyc up! P ray, pray, pray! Do not regard iniquity in your heart. I r you do, the Lord will not hear you. Keep that bc­fore you always. Thcn trust in God,

Dcpend only 011 God. Wait on 111111. Belien' Oil Him. E.r/,rrt 9"',11 tlul/gs from /lim. Faint not if the blessing tarrics. Pray, pray, rtray! And, aoove all. rely only on the merits of our eycr· adorablc Lord and Saviour, that, ac­cording 10 His infinite lIleril<;, and not "our 0\1-11. the praycrs you offer and the ~\'ork yOU do will be accepted.

A Testimony· \V hat Prayer Wt1l Do

The efficacy of prayer George ~I\ll­ler's work has put , concretely, beyond all doubt or challenge. Since its foun~ dation in 1836 the Orphanage has re· ceived, for the supply of 16,724 orphans, between $10,(0),(0), and $15,OClO,OA<l, without soliciting a single soul. l\luller says: "l lundroos of tlllles we have COIll­menced the day without a penny, but our l1ea\"cnly Father has sent supplies the momcnt they were actually rC<luired. There never was a time whcn wc had no wholesome meal. \Ve have wanted as much as $250,(X)() in aile year and it has all come when Ileeded. :-':0 mall call el'er say that I asked him for a penny. \Ve have no committccs, no collcctors, no voting and no endowments. All has cOllle ill answcr to believing prayer." One of the Orphanage treas­urers wrote a few weeks ago: "I am truly thankful to be able to state that i\Iulier's Orphanage is still maintained by prayer 10 God alone. No one else is ever asked for a single penny towards ally part of the work or for the upkeep of ihe institution."

By E. S. William.

After having Jain in the harbor at II aifa, P alClStine, for an ex tra twenty-four hou rs because of a raging storm on the Mediter­ranean Sea, our ship arrived safe ly al Beirut, Lebanon, where we were met by Miss YUllln3 G. Malick, Superintendent of th e Full Gospel Mission and Training School for Girls. We were takt'n to Miss Malick's home at Shweifat which is a pretty village not far from Beirut, alld for a week we wc re kept busy a ttending ~crv ices and visiting different outsta tions. Pirst it was our pleas­ure to meet the founeen teachets and help­ers in the training school and we were made to rejoice in their association. The train­ing 'School is established in the old home­stead of M iss Ma lick's parents, which has been a large and il1\·iting home with many r001l1S and a large hall in the center, which is now the school chapel and ca n seat the en­t ire st udent body of aile hundr ed eighty-six. From this building one gets a beautiful view o f the Med iterranean as one looks over the largc.st oli\"eyard in the world, whi ch spa ns the d ista nce between the school and the sea.

I t was our privilege to attend severa l meet­ings in the chapel, which is open to all. This is in a different building from the school, but the teachers and others from the school attend. This small chapel was crowded a t each meeting so that ext ra cha irs had to be brought in. God blessed the Word and several came forward to seek the Lord a nd some testified to definite blessings.

how to pray will unite that God may move in great power among them.

The Ouhtation. It was our privilege to go with Sister

Mal ick to visit some o f her outstations. \Ve were at Baalda Prison and the prison at Beirut. In the former we were invited to speak to the prisoners, but at the latter place only Miss Mali ck, who holds a permi t , was admitt ed.

Then we visited the outstations a t Dcir· gaube] and Kefershcma, and th e services among the Bedouins, livi ng <It Beirut, and the Chatd cans, living at ] laddet. The Bedouins arc very pOO" but very appreciative and a number of Ihem have found the Lord. The litt le mission now used to reach them is elltirely too sma ll . It was crowded the day we were there and a number were ga thered on the ou tside. \\'hen the service was dis­missed and we showed a willingness to shake hands with th em, they gathered round us, both men and WOlllen , and warm indeed were th ei r welcome and their expressions of ap­precia tion. The women bore " arious tatoo markings 011 t hei r faces, which did nOt im­press us as enhancing thei r beauty, but which we suppose represented beauty among them. These poor people have been forced, through years of drought, from Haron, their native home, to the seashore, where they hope to find work. The poor Chaldeans are in even worse state than th e Bedoui ns. Such poverty as they suffer wo uld be hard for an American to realize. There we received the sante evi­dences of fri endship and appreciation that we had received from the Bedouins. Vve found all those whom we Illet in Lebanon kind hearted, affectionate and appreciative, and where they had enj oyed any oppor­tu ni ties we found them bright and ener­getic.

We found Sister Malick carrying a heavy load. Her in come has been greatly reduced a nd the burden o f the school, rellt for mis­s ions, and provision for nati ve work er s were a drain upon her finances, which it wa'S d iffi cult to meet. She wished us to ,'isit Damascus with her where she wou ld like to open a work, but the heavy snow in the Lebanon Mountains, which we should have had to cross, made this impossible.

May God ble ss His work in this section of His inheritance. Un less you could visi t this field you could not understand what a hold religions withou t God have upon the people. Our sister needs also some mean s of tran sportat ion as there are no street cars, except in Beirut, and th e expense of hiring dri vers to take one abollt is very great.

Paris, by Professor Chasles, a Roman Catholic arch:cologist; and the large hal! is filled an hour before the time. The Professor exhorts his audience 10 bring their Bibles, so as to verify his statements; and at the close he gives a sum mary of his lecture, with all the Scripture texts. Some of these arc before me as J write, and one sheet contains over 40 references to Scripture. He speaks of the re­turn of the Jews to Pale~tine as prophesied; of the return of Christ; and of llis coming kingdolll which is based on the gospel and on all the Bible, and is the principa l key to the book. Moreover, he sta tes that the return of Christ is mcntioned in the New Testament 318 times."

BACK TO FUNDA~lENTALS! The former President of the Swiss Con­

federation, M. Pilet-Golaz, speaking at the 400th anniversary of the Reformation in Gen­eva. said, (fluoted in Sunday School Times):

"\\'hence comes ou r salvation? It comes from the Rcform:nion in Geneva. Our Euro­pean civilization was born, grew up, and at­tained its brilliancy through Christianity. Christian it must become again or, just PUII­

ishment, it will perish. It is not the state which needs reforming. The state is but the expression of the individuals who compose it. It is )/1011 who must be changed, who tllI/st be bonl again."

er: "Every Jew in this country knows th:.t there is growing up here ;n our midst, even in this great American Jewish community of :-.'ew York. an c<::onomic discrimination that poisons the wells of employment, and every day our children go into the labor market and face that discrimination."

Jewry can be expected to continue to be in the furnace of affliction until she turns fnllv to the Saviour who said through lhe lips of the Jcwish prophet I~aiah, "Look UI)tO Me. <llld be ye saved." l5a. 4S :22.

Please r.rpfUl'~ the difft'rl' llce betwei'/! soul alld spirit.

The Scofield Bible makes the following distinctions, "~lan is spirit and soul and body. 1 Thess. S :23. 'Spirit' is that p..1.rt of man which knows (1 Cor. 2: 11), and which aHies him to the spiritual creation and gives him God consciousness. 'His Spiri t bears witness with our spirit that we are the childrcn of God.' 'Soul' in itself implies self-conscious life. as disting-uishcd from plants. whicb have unconscious life. It is the seat of his emo­tions, desires, affections, Psal m 42:1-6 . The 'heart' is. in Scripture usage, nearly synony­mous with 'soul.' 'Soul' is often used as synon¥mous with the individual. Gen. 12:5. The body is the scat of thc senses, the means by which the spirit and soul have world­consciousncss."

Dol'S Iwt 2 Thess. 2:2, 3 teach Ihat Allli­ch rist will be r('i'ca(ccl bcfore Christ comes for !-lis bride?

The Revised and SOtTIe other versions of Scripture make verse 2 to read "as that the day of Ihe Lord is at hand," or "is alreadY present." instcad of "the day of Chri~t" as is given in the Authorized Version. This would indicate that Paul was instructing the be­lievers that they were not as yet ill thc day of the Lord, or the tribulation, and that that day could not COTTle until after Antichrist was revealed. The coming of Christ for th~ Church is an instantaneous event, the day of the Lord a period of time. We believe the Church may look for the coming of Christ before the day of the Lord begins. For some references concerning the day of the Lord read Isa. 2:10-21; 13:9-11; 24:21; 63:1-6; Jocl 1:15; 2:l-11.-E. S. W.

THE BIBl.E FOR OUR SCHOOLS The following words, uttered by Samuel

Surely this was a repe­tition of early church experiences. Brother Sheets' stirring messages were enthusiastically received by all. This is a new work, scarcely 4 months old, with a record attendance of 122 in Sunday School.-E. N. Stanley, Pastor, 302 Kentucky St.

New~ has just reached liS that \Valter J~aiah Palmer of Lancaster, 1'a .. the Secre· tary of the Eastern District Council, has de· parted to be with Christ, his spirit taking its homeward flight at 9 :45 p. m., on February 11th, after a very brief illness. We desire to express our heartfelt sympathy with Sister Palmer and the littlc daughter in their present herea\'('ment. Also for the brethren of the District, who will surely miss our very zeaO\l~ and capable brother, who proved him­,elf from first to last an indefatigable worker.

RIVERSIDE, CALJF. We recently dosed a very successful revival, Steven Robertson, of Coiton, Evangelist. About 20 were saved or reclaimed, and 12 received the Baptism in the IToly Ghost, according to Acts 2 :4. The Spirit of the Lord is being manifested among us in a general way. The new addition to the church has been completed, and the 6 new Sunday School rooms arc proving a blessing to all. Oor record Sunday School attendance is 136. - j. H Unruh, Pastor.

-----WHARTON, TEXAS-Our Fifth Sunday

rally was a real success. God blessed in a wonderful way and there was a swect fellow· ship among the saints. Despite the bad weath­er, we had a large attendance. Brother Thos. Neal, pastor of the El Clm\lO assembly, and !lome of the saints were present. The C. A. P resident of this section, also 1)'1stor of the Edna church. brought a short message. Sister \Veaver, a young evangelist, spoke (or a few minutes. Brother Marshall, of Rosenburg, brought a message in the evening. Dinner was ~erved at the church. Ministers in good stand­ing with the General Council are invited to stOll and visit US.-\VIll. Cupps, Pastor.

"Life is made up of little things. Life it­~elf is but a little thing. One breath less­lhel1 cOllies the funeral.

"A word IS a little thing, yet aile word has heen mal1y a man's destiny-for good or for evil.

"A ki ss is a very little thing. but it betray· I'd the Son of God into the hands of His enemies.

"A spark is a little thillg, bllt it can set the world a-burning. Sec jas. 3 :5, 6.

"The tongue is a little thing; but it fills the universe with trollble."-J. Billings.

Be careful about what are called little sills­for they arc the most subtle, and the source of most of our iailures.

Neyer neglect doing a little act of loving ~en'ice. Just as small sins are like seeds which germinate and grow, so the tiny things in which the Spirit of God can use us to testify of I lim will one day yield an abundant harvest.

EVANGELIST SMITH WIGGLESWORTH IN SOUTH AFRICA

By D. J. du Plessis, General Secretary, A. F. Mission

During the past years, when news filtered through of how God. was blessin~ IIis servant, Brother Smith Wigglesworth, in other coun­tries, many of God's people in South Africa prayed that he might be brought out here to bring the message of life.

He arrived in October, 1936, and the Lord moved from the moment he came. The news­papers in this country arc genera lly very in­different towards Pentecost but they seemed to take notice of our old brother and gave great publicity to his meetings. It was Quite a sur­prise to see the papers cOllie ou t with pages of pictures taken in the services. Columns were written about the meetings and the Cape was stirred. Mighty healings took place and in a few ea~es it might be said that the healings were miraculous. \Vhat is of more importance, however, is the fact that so many were swept into the kingdom of God. In the Cape many su rrendered their li\'es to Ihe Lord and the re· vival which was started through these meetings still continues. Praise the Lord I

After the Cape our brother visited Port Elizabeth, East London, and Blocmfontein. In all these places the saints of God from al1 the Pentecostal groups came together to hear the message which has inspired greater faith in the hc.1rls of God's people, and Divine Healing has once more become a vital truth in the lives of many sick and suffering ones. Al1 re­ports say, '''We have never before heard such a message on faith." Indeed, our brothe r is anointed to preach on this great subject, and the faith which is Quickened in the hearts of the people now brings greater revivals everywhere.

The Annual December Conference at Ilead­quarters in the Central Tabernacle, johannes­burg, is usually a very blessed time of fellow­ship and blessing, and people frOm al1 over the country attend these meetings. The last Con­fe rence was no ('.'(cC'ption. Brother \Viggles­worth ministered to God's people every mOrtl­ing and evening. The Spirit of God was upon every meeting and the \Vord went forth under the unction of the Holy Ghost. Many were filled with the Holy Spirit and spake in tongues as the Spirit gave utterance. Sick and suf· (ering ones attended every night and hundreds were prayed for. ),fany came back to tell that God had touched them. Praise His namel Many sicknesses and ailments were healed by the IlOwer of God. Some seemed to have re­ceived a new lease on life.

1/1 Cape Town the c'ity hall was 1)3eked out with 2.000 peoplc, and so 011 the last Sunday of the Conferen ce we also had the pica sure of seeing nearly 2,000 people gather for three g reat meetings in the city hall in johannesburg. In the morning nearly the whole audience was made up of believers, saved and filled with the Spirit. In the afternoon many outsiders at­tended the Divine Healing service and the newspaper sen t a reporter. APout 500 sick were prayed for and many received instant hearing. The evening service was again packed to the doors and, as in the morning and after­noon scrvices, a large number stood up to ask prayer for salvation and victory in their sp irit­ual lives.
