S Saints and Friends:

Satan'S Waring with, us in every
way. We are going on in the Lord
shouting victory in this great serv-
ice, conducted by Elder Riley Tom
lin in this day of trouble and strife
we know that we are processing for
souls are being saved and filled
with the holy spirit over here in our
Minister'S Aid and Training Union,
we: are studying salvation and find
ing this subject to be real interest
ing, knowing that salvation is the
foundation of Christianity for the
word Salvation means deliverance'
and a state of security. Salvation
was foretold by the prophets /
Peter 1910. This great salvation
is described as mystery. There are
many folks who come to church,
leave with a confused mind. Many
say they do not believe God is
pleased with all this folly for He
is an intelligent God. But we. say
then and there they have sinned
unknowingly for they have con-
demned the wisdom of Gods mys-
terry that He reveals only to His
children. / Cor. 2:10-16. This mys-
terry was ordained by God and not
man and comes from God to the
minds of His anointed ones. Truly
we have to be spirit-filled believers,
Eph. 3:3-5. We know that salvation
is gift and not a reward, Eph.
2:8-1O. We cannot give preacher
our hand or write our name in a
book to obtain salvation. Salvation
comes only by atoning for our sins.
Then by the blood of Jesus are we
made whole unto salvation. I Cor.
1881. Salvation is measured by
the. beauty of holiness creating a
new spirit with love as never be-
fore not love of vanity but love
that makes one endure all things
for the elects sake. Love that can
make us say in dark hours of des-
pair, I'm going through love akin
to Gods great love, for God so loved
the world that He gave His only
begotten son that Whosoever be-
lieveth on Him should not perish
but have everlasting life. Man being
in his natural state was disqualified
by God in the Garden of Eden, only
through salvation are we qualified
in. Jesus. John came preaching re-
pentence. He could not give saliva
tid nto man out there in the wilder
ness. He was cleaning up the minds
Of men; preparing them for the
coming of the Lord; making
straight the path for Jesus. Jesus
told them, they could in no way en-
ter into the kingdom of God unless
they be converted, Matt. 1884;
Hebrew 2:3-4. How can we escape
if we neglect so great salvation
there is no other way to make it
into that heavenly rest but through
salvation in Christian Lord. Saliva
ton stands open for every man
everywhere. I do not like to see
the children of God divided. All
spirit filled children belong to God,
for Jesus said, For 1 have given
unto them the words which thou
gavest me and they have received
them and have known surely that I
came out from thee and they have
believed that thou did send me. l
pray for them. 1 pray not for the
world, but for them which thou has
given us; for they are thine. And
all mine are in them.
Now all believers should have
that spiritual unity, walk beside one
another, confident of Gods great
love that has been bestowed upon
us. Every Elder in every church
should be holy and endorse this
great salvation in holiness. Remem-
ber we are moving toward perfec-
tion every days tt6 kneW Jesus is
to, do his will, as He did the will
of His father. We love everyone of
Gods children. We have no fight
with anyone. We are not the only
nGonla who arc trying To make if
