SANCTIFICATION.
This Was the Theme OH Which Rev Mr..
Stevens Preached on Sunday

This Was the Theme on Which Rev. Mr..
Stevens Preached on Sunday
At st. james Methodist Church sun
day, the pastor, Rev. III. |. Stevens,
preached to an overlooking congregation
on the subject of 'Sanctification, - taking
his text from | Thes. 60. He spoke in
part us follows:
Every one who studies the word of God
must admit that sanctiiication is a Bible
doctrine, as the word sanctilication with
its synonyms, is used by the inspired
writers more than two hundred times in
the Holy Scriptures. l have just as good
reason to say that there is no such doc
trines taught in the Bible us Faith Re-
pentance, justification, or the New Birth,
us there is for any one to say that there is
no such doctrines taught in the word OF
God as Holiness. Purity, Christian Per-
lection or Entire Sanctilication. The fact
is, every one who believes in the Bible
must believe i'll entire sanctlication, for
1T is as plainly taught in the Holy Scrip
lures as any other doctrine which the
Christian believes. Believing that it is Il
scriptural doctrine, let us inquire:
|. What sanctiiication is not:
|. Sanctiiication is not Il perfection in
knowledge and does not mean that the
sanctiiied man is not liable to make mis-
lived on this earth have made mistakes,
and no man, not even the pope himself,
will ever reach such IL state of grace
wherein it becomes impossible for him to
make mistakes.
H. What is sanctlication: The word
sanctlfy has two meanings: |. IL means
to separate from all common use and CON
secratc to Gods service. , 1t means to
make holy or pure. When II man be-
comes Il Christian he is separated from
the world and is consecrated TO Gods
service, and at the same time the begin
ner feels that he is far from the Bible
standard of holiness and purity which
God requires of his people
|. Entire sanctiication is that state of
grace in which the Christian is enabled
to love God with all the heart, soul, mind
and strength, and his ncighbor as him
| self.
Ill. When is it to be attained: On this
question there has been much dispute
among Christian people. All churches
believe that such Il state of grace is at
tainable, but as to the time when we may
expect this blessing there Is; IL variety of
opinions.
l. Catholicism teaches that not till the
| soul of the believer has passed through
the fires of purgatory can such state be
attained.
.. Catholicism teaches that state of
entire sanctiiication is not atta;nablc till
death.
B. Methodism has always taught that it
is the privilege of Gods people to be
made perfect in love in this life l. ''Be
We holy. ,. BE ye therefore perfect -
3. without holiness no man can see the
Lord. p" i. blessed are the pure in heart
! for they shall see God - D "And the
very God of peace sanctify you wholly. y

MEMORIAL TO A SWEET CHILD.
(Addie Il. Bryan, aged 6 years.

tAuulc u. bryan, aScti u years
The sweet little flower will fade no
more! y bird of heaven, bathed with the
dews of God, it will bloom forever beside
the Rose OF Sharon and the Lily of the
Valley.
The Great Florist will place II high value
upon this rare exotic, and natures love-
liest admirers in heaven will, with Joy
behold it. No frost of winter, or heat Of
summer, or blight of sickness, shall ever
destroy it's wcndrous beauty,
given,
But its summer sweetness you will have
in heaven
from the pcrlous times of which an
apostle speaks.
Like migratory bird, when the
storms come down upon the Northern
lakes and waters, goes to flash its wings
in rivers of delight, SO this brigh, little
bird of passage has gone to IL beautiful
river that rolls down with golden
sands
Then She shall bathe her sinlcss soul
In seas OF heavenly rest,
And not Il wave of trouble roll
Across her peaceful breast
/ She has gone like the dove TO Ncuhs ark,
Swift rs the arrow the archer flies,
Has shed the feathers of the storm and
flood,
To be a bright bird of Paradise,
| She found no rest for her little feet
| Where the wild winds sweep and the bill
lows roar;
/ o, the rain, and the night, and the dread
full storm,
| Your dear little dove will feel no more!

This letter is intended for those hun
