effects on the various diseases of
the body, SO suppose there is
helpful place for most physical
ailments, but the same God has
provided an atonement or REM
edy for every sin-sick soul. The
poet sang "The Great Physician
Now is Here, o Hear the Voice of
jesus" and, readers, ksm living
witness that Jesus can lave a man
from sin and SHINING and sanctify
him wholly-1st Thes 5:23-and
give man a peaceful life in this
world and all eternity to live
where all is peace and d.happiness-I
no pain, no sickness, no death
scenes, no goodbye, no sin;
friends, | am headed that way.
We have had a hearty reception
from the good people here. Doc
tor Ellison, the president of the
university, is an old friend of
ours. He was president of Texas
Holiness University for five years.
He had arranged for us and met
us at the train and then took US to
his home for dinner, where we
were provided with many good
things to eat. He has a great
school here and the reason why
we are here is to educate our
daughter in this university. We
have met quite a number of the
faculty; among them the music
teacher, a fine Christian lady and
member of the Methodist church,
also Professor Adams has called
on us and he will be one of the
faculty again in 1912-19t3; and at
the same time he is pastor of
one OF the Southern Methodist
churches in Los Angeles, and he
is as straight as gun barrel on
the lines of holiness or sanctifica-
tion as any man that ever lived,
and the Methodist people in this
county are very favorable towards
holiness as second work of
grace. am sure my many friends
will ask if Walter is still preach
ing holiness. | will very gladly
answer yes.
SECOND LETTER.
The second Sunday we were
here was spent at Long Beach.
The noted Rev. Bud Robinson of
Texas was holding meeting
there and on Saturday his wife
and two daughters and my wife
and daughter and I went over to
the meeting and, to my surprise,
it had been announced that I
should preach and if I ever enjoy
ed preaching, it was there. God
especially blessed me in the mes
sage and the holy fire spread over
the congregation-quite number
knelt at the altar and our Heaven
ly Father smiled upon some in
blessed way; in fact, that prayed
through, just like He did in Mis-
souri,, so Brother Robinson and
the people asked US back and we
spent another Saturday and Sum
day in the meeting. 1t is just as
easy to preach here as in Missouri
and folks need Jesus very badly
and accept message of love very
readily, so | see great field of
usefulness for us here. We will
have all the evangelistic work we
can do and thousands of people
to preach to.
earnestly desire every Chris
tian to pray for us in our new
home that we may lead many
souls to Christ. You may say, isn't
it strange to see an article like
this and a request like this in
county paper; but, friends, | spent
six years of my life in Iron County
| in the Masters cause, and if there
| is place on earth | love it's Iron
County and her citizens. l say
this to the praise of Him who died
for me, and / am sure I will meet
some at the Judgment that have
washed their robes and made them
white in the Blood of the Lamb -
Rev.7:14. / am glad that God show
ed me the work to do in Missouri,
and do not regret the hardships
and work did to establish a Holi-
ness School. From her walls some
have gone QUITO preach end others
are coming, and while am not
connected with the School at pres
ent / am interested and want to
see it prosper with every other
good work. ! am sure | shall
never forget the many friends
we have in the work, and what a
great good it has already accom-
plished. MY home was open to
all. We went at all times, night
or day, cold or hot, and prayed
