The order in the church was not as

bad as represented. 1t took the broths T
some time TO read his sermon, which
made il very tedious and uninteresting
and the people became worried.
Previous to this so called new tangled
doctrine We were living far beneath
our Christian privilege. Before this time
great many attempts bad been made
t. keep upa prayer meeting but with
/ out success. Now We can have success.
/ FIJI prayer service at church twice a week
and also good meetings at our neighbors'
houses, in which sinners have been con.
verified and believers ssnctitied. Among
the number is one old man whose hair
is blooming for the grave and one who
believed there was no God. Praise the
Lord for His saving power.
The young people Of our neighborhood
who we're spending their lives in sinful
pleasures are now devoted. to, God and
His service.
oder Christians should be very care
ful how they talk. and live before these
younger Christians. They should not
say anything to discourage them, but
should pray for them and encourage
them in their good work. We enjoy
more good, old-time religion now than
at any tims in our remembrance and
some Of us have been members for 8.
years, all brought about by the holiness
movement. Glory!
We read the 81 chapter OF James care
fully aud We praise the Lord for the pre-
cious truths contained therein and may
the Lord help all Christians to live up tc
It's teachings. Our earnest prayer tc
God is that all who are fighting sanctii-
cation may be truly ssnctifed.
