The Holiness Cause.

Editor Register There has been
much said for and against the
Bible doctrine of entire sanctiica-
ton or Perfect Love or Holiness,
but all this has not changed Gods
word. We have a clean school
that stands for intellectual and
spiritual welfare of our country,
where young people car secure an
education, and we do not expect
all u students who come this
way to be Christians before enter
ing the school, but we expect them
to be in harmony with Christian
ity and acquire an education.
But few come here unsaved but
what soon seek Jesus as their
personal Savior. We have u
Chapel services each day. Our
little town is rapidly growing and
substantial families T buying
property and moving here to ed
ucate their children. Four years
ago we were ridiculed and mis-
represented, but we kept preach
ing Holiness and folks kept getting
saved from their sins, and be-
levers kept getting Sanctifed
Wholly. There is quite a stir all
over the United States about
Holiness or Entire Sanctifcation,
or Perfect Love. People have
been educated against this blessed
experience that gives a man vic
tory in his soul every moment,
and folks have just about quit
reading their bible. We are in a
hurrah-up time. Men grab a
newspaper, skim over it, rush on
to business. They do not intend
to neglect, but business has crowd
ed out their family altar where at
one time the fire of Gods Love
burned, and fathers and mothers
read the precious word of God
and gathered their children around
their knees, and, with tears stream
ing down their faces, prayed with
a faith that moved the hearts OF
their children to God.
The memory of those days is
sweet, but folks haven't time now;
they are too busy. Hebrews, 1921,
please read. | am a stickler for
modern improvements and up-to-
date business men, but | am some
what an old fogy when it comes to
salvation. | am a Methodist in
getting saved. | believe every
church house ought to have an
altar rail or an old-time mourner's
bench, the preacher preach on
Death, He'll and the Judgment,
until men get sick of sin, and re-
pent and believe God, straighten
up their past records, pay their
old bills, take back what they
borrowed when their neighbor
was asleep. We need a real going
down to the bottom where things
have been covS2ed for years. II
pays. / tried it, and real, genuine
Salvation brings real Joy that this
world can not afford. All who
know me have me branded a
"Holiness Preacher" Isay, Amen
Jesus taught it-Matthew, 5:48-
and prayed the disciples might be
sanctifed. st. John, 17:17. Paul
got a Commission to preach it. Acts,
26:1S. Peter preached it to be-
levers. Acts, 2:3S; and Jesus
shed his blood for us. Hebrews,
1912.
Now, reader, | will endeayor to
give the public three lessons on
Bible Holiness or Entire Sancti-
fication or Perfect Love. There
has been so much misunderstand-
ing and Misrepresentation in refer
ence to the Second Work of Grace.
/ will head an article next week,
"What the Second Work of Grace
is Not" The following week
another article-"Evidence of the
Second Work OF Grace"-and the
third article-"Examples of the
Second Work Of Grace" These
articles will be strictly on Bible
lines, chapter and verse given.
Come to our Closing Exercises
of the College. We open a re-
vival meeting in the P%entecosta
Church of the Nazerene Thursday
night, May 20 to 30. j. B. Nc
Bride of Peniel, Texas, will be in
charge of the meeting as Evange-
list. We are asking God to wake
up the people who are in sin, and
believe he is doing it. j. B. Nc
Bride as a preacher ranks among
the best, has a national reputation
and is a fearless preacher. Thou
sands have turned from sin and
accepted Jesus, and thousands o
believers have been Sanctifiet
Wholly under his preaching ant
the power of God. Don't fail tt
come.
The Training School is doing
we'll. Prof. Daugherty is one o
the best instructors in Southeas
Missouri. Teachers are still com
ing in, and others to come later
I am all for Jesus.
