Rev. j. L. Fogartic preached very
strong and eloquent sermon iii tho Wal
halla Presbyterian church last Sunday
morning at II o'clock, taking for his text
lst John, Is: eff we say that we have no
sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth
is not in u.s." We regret that we have
not space to give full synopsis of his
learned and lengthy discourse, which was
listened to with close attention during the
hour of it's delivery. 1t was q timely ex-
position of tho doctrine that no man lives
who sinncth not, and clear and power
full rcfutation of the doctrine of sinlcss
perfection as taught by many of the mo-
dern saints who lay special claims to
greater attainmcnts in the divine life
than their brothers in Christ. The fallacy
of the finely spun theory of second
blessing in the work of sanctification
was clearly shown by the analysis of
many passages Of Scripture and the cita-
tion of many Biblical characters, which
we have time and again heard quoted by
the disciples of tho second blessing
school, rs sustaining their forced and ex-
trcme view. We bolicvc tho time has
come for all faithful ministers of tho
Gospel, of every denomination, no longer
to hold their peace in exposing the errors
inculcated by these second blessing thco-
rists, else deception and false doctrine
will surely lead many away from the
plain and elementary truths of the Bible.
We fear that tho great body of tho Nc
thodist minister's has long been too reti-
cent in clearly defining tho great doctrine
of holiness or sanctfication as taught by
this branch of tho Christian church, and
allowed certain extremists and sclfcon-
stituted eyangclists to bring their doc
trinc into disrcputo by their erroneous
declarations and professions, which have
been received by many as Gospel truth
Many arc being driven about by this new
wind of doctrine, which is not profitable
to Goodness. On tho first Sunday in
February at II A. NJ. Rev. Mr.. Fogartie
will continue his remarks on this theme.
