STATE HOLINESS WORKERS.
Doctrines of the Association Outlined
by the President.

The convention OF the State Holiness
association began last evening in the
NJ. Il. church. The service opened
with song aud praise service led by
Rev. Beckhart, Of Ellsworth. Then
Rev. G. s. Nusbaum, president Of the
association and pastor Of the Emporia
avenue M. Il. church, Wichita, preach
ed the opening sermon from Heb. ~;
IA. "Follow peace with all men, and
holiness, without which. no man sees the
Lord" Space prevents complete
outline of the address. Some points
were: Christ is offered to every person
in this congregation, either for the
pardon and forgiveness of his sins, or
the entire sanctilication Of his soul. No
man can refuse Him without doing
himself an injury. IL hardens the
heart, m tkes the will more stubborn
and closes the conscience 10 the voice
Of God. If the true Christian is cap.
able of growth and development in
holiness. Then the sinner must he
capable of the same in sin. Then II
must follow that he who refuses Christ
either to pardon him or sanctify him,
separates himself farther from Him.
In JUS iication We get our title to
Heaven. In sanctiication we get our
fitness for Heaven. In Justification
God deals with our sins. In sanctiflca.
tion God deals with our sin, Stnctia-
cation Is the work OF salvation begun.
Entire sanctiflcAtiOn Is the work Of
salvation Gnished. Justification in its
results changes a mans life. Entire
sanctillcatiOn in itg results changes a
mans nature. Holiness 10 the life and
power OF the Christian experience.
Holiness is the result OF communion
with God, Deliberate, constant effort
l. its motor power. The Bible its text
book. Prayer and faith its key to the
store house OF Gods grace, God its
great teacher. Christ its life and pat
tern and the Holy Spirit its power
Holiness of character makes Heaven
We must have holiness; That we may
have power aud influence for good and
usefulness; that we may be fortified
against temptation; that we may fulfll
acceptably the mission God has giver
us; that we may make Heaven oul
eternal home.
After the sermon an invitation wal
given aud the altar was flled witt
seekers for the experience Of holiness
The meeting was one of power. Ser
vices continued all day today. A 10
