for the baptism of the Holy Ghost,
as the disciples did, and | received
it,, claimed the promise, got the
blessing of entire sanctifcation,
and the blessed Jesus Christ is in
me to-day. The blessing never
was sweeter to me than now, for
my soul has found something that
is new and true. Well, glory to
God! I'll have to shout a little
over what God has done for me,
If it is in the county paper, but ye
editor isn't to be my guardian,
and you know the life once lived,
and am sure you won't care how
much | rejoice, for there is more
rejoicing in heaven over one sim
ner that repenteth than ninety and
nine just persons. So if the angels
shout, | have a right to, here in
this wicked world, after Jesus has
done so much for me and my
home.
Just after | got Strengthened out
with God, He sent me to Texas to a
Holiness school, and while there
God spoke to me, as he did to
Moses, and said, eyes, Lord"
He laid this school work and the
lost souls in Missouri on my heart,
and there I prayed and tasted and
wept over it, until I was satisfied
it was call of God from heaven
for me to come back to Des Arc
and work for souls, and start an
interest for a school. The people
here had been praying for God to
make a preacher out of me, and
He answered their prayers the
best He could with the material
there was in me. My education
was not very good, and l was
weak physically and very nervous
from the effects of drinking bad
liquor, but as discouraging and
hopeless being as I was, God has
helped me to preach to thousands
of people. While l didn't have
time to study theology, homilec-
tics and many other studies neces-
sary for great soul winning
preacher, just took the Bible and
began. God has given me bet
ter health than ever l had. Have
had the privilege of seeing many
souls come to Jesus and found par
don and perfect love; to God be
all the glory. I have just returned
from Patterson, where l preached
in the Presbyterian church. I
gave them three services, and God
wonderfully blessed us all. |
promised them the third Saturday
night and Sunday and Sunday
night each month. Had large
congregation last night and was
compelled to turn off several. Call
s2r two weeks meeting till afver
/ the 1st of October.
God has answered the prayers
for the Holiness School. | now
have a crew of finishers at work,
and in a few days the building
will be ready. We have all the
furniture and stoves in the build
ing now, and students are making
application daily. We are not a
money-making inss.Sution, as our
president has plainly shown by the
way our tuition is reduced. Come
visit the school and see our work.
We recommend one Of the best
things this side of heaven. You
know, the woman left the we'll and
went to the city and said, "Come
see man which told me all things
that ever ! did; is not this the
Christi" ST. John 4:29. Evidently
this woman Of Samaria had been
looking and longing for Christ.
Now if you want to got an educa-
tion, come to the Southeast Mis-
souri, Holiness University. The
president and teachers and citi-
zens Of the Holiness town will try
to lead you to Christ, then you
can 60 home or to the city and say,
as this woman did of Christ. Come
see full Salvation School that
teaches the Bible with Com
mercial Course, and with all othe +
