may lnJner Is the nuSDanuman. Every
branch in me that beareth not fruit he
taketh away, and every branch that
beareth fruit he purgeth or cleanseth
it that 1T may bring forth more fruit.
My brother, keep on bearing q little
fruit and by aud by God will cleanse or
sanctify you so that you may be able
to bear much fruit. "Now We are clean
through the word which / have spoken
unto you. Abide in me, and / in you.
As the branch can not bear fruit except
it abide in the vine, no more can We ex-
cept ye abide in me. am the vine, We
are the branches; he that abideth in me
and in him, the same bringeth forth
much fruit, for without me We can do
nothing" This blessed truth clearly
demonstrates the fact that salvation is
strictly personal matter, and that ev-
cry one'mnst bear fruit or be cut off,
and that every ones work will be tried
by fire as to what sort it is.
Christ told his disciples in John xiv,
90, that "at that day We shall know
that | am in my father and ye in me
and Il in you" That day means when
the Holy Ghost the comforter comes to
abide with them forever. So this con-
firms this truth in John XIV, and shows
plainly to all the world that as he and
his father are holy so must every man
and every woman be holy that are in
the true vine, and that no man can
bear holy fruit except he abide in him,
the holy vine. AS we are to abide in
Christ and Christ in God we are to be
a holy people redeemed of the Lord.
Isaiah says we shall be called by new
name, which the mouth of the Lord
shall name Isaiah xii, 2.) And again
he says they shall be called the holy
people Isaiah xii, 49, And Daniel
says when he has accomplished to scat
ter the power of the holy people all
these things shall be finished Daniel
xii, and latter clause of seventh verse J
And again he says, "Many shall be pu-
ritied and made white and tried but
the wicked shall do wickedly; and none
Of the wicked shall understand; but the
righteous shall understand. Oh, isn't
it alarming that people can be so car
ried off with name and the formal
work of their particular sect Or creed
as to lose all faith and spiritual power
and dies without o groan or a sigh?
After we heard Paul say, "Paul an
apostle, not of men, neither by man,
but by Jesus Christ and Col the father
who raised him from the dead (GaI. j,
l-2), and to follow him as he followed
Christ" And again he says, "Now,
this | say, that every one of you saieth,
am of Paul; and | of Apollas; and I
of Cepbas; and | of Christ. Is Christ
divided? was Paul crucified for you? OF
we're ye baptized in the name Of Paul
q Cor. j, 12-13) And again, 81 have
fed you with milk and not with meat,
for We were not able to bear 1t" Il Cor
iii, 2.) And more, "Till we all come to
the unity of the faith, and Cf the knowl
edge of the Son of God, unto a perfect
man, unto the measure of the stature
of the fullness of Christ, that we hence
forth be no more children, tossed tC
aud fro, and carried about with every

aud cunning craftiness, whereby they
lie IN wait to deceive. But speaking
the truth in love may grow up into hin

he says, "By one spirit are we all bap
tized into one ([ Cor. xii, 13.) Ant
, what more, my people? "For whel
for the time We ought to be teachers y
