am the True Vine, and My Father is the
Husbandman
Every branch in Me that beareth not fruit
He taketh away: and every branch that bear
eth fruit, He purgeth it, that it may bring
| forth more fruit
Now We are clean through the word which
l nave spoken unto you. John 1918
If We abide in Me, and my words abide in
you, We shall ask what We will, and it shall be
done unto you. - John 1877.
When man sins, he is not abiding in
Christ No wonder the Lord said:
Abide in Me, and 1 in you. AS the branch
cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in
the vine; no more can We, except We abide in
Me. John 1874.
IF we make the full surrender and the
| full conservation = if we are able to say
All for God we will not hesitate to trust
our Heavenly Father when the hour of trial
comes.
Il am conscious of One standing at nv
side Who is Almighty and all hell cannot
down me, so long as I am standing faith
fully and uncompromisingly at my post. I
know Whom | believe, and Whom I trust.
| know that shall be able to finish my work
though an host should encompass me about.
Whosoever sinneth hath not seen Him,
neither known Him.
Little children, let no man deceive you:
ne that doeth righteousness is righteous, even
as He is righteous
He that committeth sin is of the Devil; for
the Devil sinneth from the beginning For
this purpose the Son of God was manifested,
that He might destroy the works of the Devil.
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit
sin; for His seed remaineth in him: and he
cannot sin, because he is born Of God
AS Adam was the first creation and the
father OF the natural man, so Jesus Christ
is the Father of the spiritual creation.
Every Christian is in fellowship with
Christ, and in fellowship with every other
Christian. I do not doubt that in all parts
OF the world there are few true believers
IN Christ who are not in fellowship with
the Christian Catholic Apostolic Church in
Zion, and to these Zion sends the message
that Christ is coming and coming soon.
The Christian Catholic Apostolic Church
in Zion is the last movement before the Lord
appears. There will never be another. We
want no one in fellowship with this church
who is not truly converted, regenerated,
justified and sanctihed. want no one to
come into this church except from the right
motive
Il thank God He has a people on this
earth who have not bowed the knee to Baal,
who are watching for the appearing of
Christ, and who are truly His.
"A few years more not long - the
judgments of the earth will fall. President
Wilson says that, if the League of Nations
is not endorsed, it will break the heart of
the world and worse world war than the
one just closed will follow He does not
know that according to the Word of God
the League of Nations is the foreshadowing
of the Revived Roman Empire, and that
even now Russia. is forming the nucleus for
the great Northeastern Confederacy.
eff [ wanted to hold up the papers of
yesterday | could read you more than twen-
ty articles showing that the bloody revolt
ution, which has been predicted for more
than twenty years, is very close at hand.
The strife between capital and labor is be-
coming more and more tense. The labor
ing man is forcing the capitalist to pay
higher wages, and then the capitalist adj
vances the price of his goods to meet the
extra expense; then the laboring man de-
mands still higher wages, and the capitalist
again advances his prices, and all the time
the cost of food, clothing and the other
necessities of life are going higher, until the
whole existing order of things will burst
forth with the fury of a pent-up volcano,
and the whole earth will become seething
caldron of anarchy and strife.
'Be not deceived by the preachers. Be
not deceived by the Press Rest calmly in
God as Christians
"Put away every sin, awaiting the COM
ing of our Lord.
Let not your heart be troubled, We believe
| in God, believe also in Me. John 14:1.
"The old Book says, that we are pilgrims
and strangers in the earth. Our home is in
Heaven, and we have no abiding place here
MANY things have said to you, God has
made plain to me that | shall say them no
more. Make right the wrongs of your life,
set your house in order. If any of you have
quarrel against your brother, God have
mercy on you, if you let this Feast of
Tabernacles close without making every
wrong right. Lay down your life for the
brethren.
ooh, the terrible sel6shness! Oh, the
! wickedness of man How corrupt the world
has become!
"In Building this little place of refuge for
the children of God, we want no one to
come here from selfish motive. If a man
comes to me and asks: If buy certain
piece of property, what advantage will it
