11\0 they overcame him (the devil) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their

testimony; and they loved not their live s unto the death" (Rev. 12 J 1). There is victory through the blood of the Lamb over all the power of the cnemy. It is more than enough to insure victory over the very seal of Satan, the hotbed of hell, the hatching places of

II all til(' diabolical plots against God and 11 is anointed. The Lord is able to bring the coun­sel of the wicked to nought. Why ? B('cau~f' (Ie has spoiled the prillcipalities and powers of darkness, and made a show of them openly. triulllphing over them. ,

We kllo\v so little of the value of the blood of the Lamb. \Vc speak of its value on the earth III the ""cleansing of man. But it goes further and beyond that: it undoes the very source of all eyil. 1 f the fountain head. the source, is stopped, you may expect that soon the river will dry up.

The Son of man has had a mighty conAict wi th the forces of evil, so mighty that the enemy C:lu:-;cd 11 is blood to be shed-the vcry bl ood of the God-man, the SOI1 of God-the blood of Him hy who111 nil things were created and by whom all things consist. This very One, SLAIN by a power ('[cated hy God, and who owes his creation to God! \Vhat has the attitude of the enemy t'\'('r heen? "This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours." There YOI1 have the enemy's plan. And he succeeded in killing the Heir. But he never got the inheri­tallce. And by that act he los t his own.

The word of God's promise was, "I will put enmitv between thee and the woman, and between thy ~c('d and her secd; it !'hall bruise thy head. and tilOU shalt bruise his heel." \Vc arc li\·ing in the heel period, the time of the bruised heel. But it is the part of the body that has the least feel­inR· The Lord say!; to His own, "He that toucheth you toucheth the apple of His eye" (Zech. 2 :X). And thus j Ie prot ec ts His o,vn. The enemy is limited where he can attack.

Yes, the enemy caused the blood of the Son of God, the Son of man, to be shed. And Satan thought he had finished the Son's work. "Roll on the stOl1(~! Put on the seal ! Get a guard of soldiers ! l\Take it as sure as you can! The heir i:-; killed! The inheritance shall be ours!" That was tht- thought of the enemy, BUT HE DID :\OT RE,\LIZE THAT 1'1 fE STIED BLOOD BROUGIIT REDEMPTION TO MILLIONS UPO:\ ",IILLlO:\S .. \nd its power \\'ent beyond thi, earth: it cleansed the heavens.

And more than that, by that !-hcd hhlod <III the machinery of heaven was, is and can be put in mot ion for the final clearance of

All these come through the blood, and not through the merits of the indi-§ ,·idual. But its power goes further than that, it reaches to the very invisible \\'orld. . ! The case was so de!'perate on the earth that it required the counsel of God, and the Son under-~ took to carry Qut His Father's will and meet the desperate case. And the only remedy was for

Try to comprehend the value of the blood of the Lamb and place it where God would have it ~ placed. It spells sa fety to the saint and defeat to the devil.

THE CAVE OF ADULLAM Patior J. CaJ.,ert Jeay.

UTIli.' Lord doth huild up Jrrl1SalCIIl He gathereth together the olltca~t~ of I~rael" (Psa. 147 :2). 1£ YOll

will turn to I Stlln. 22: 1,2, you will get an cX<lmplt' of this ill type. "J)a,·id therdore dcpartec1thcnce, and csrap('ci to the t'a,·c J\dullalll: and when his brethren and all his fatlH'r's house IH.'ard it, thty went down thither to him' ( I Sam. 22 :1. 2). ",\nri everyone that was in distress, and everyone that was in debt, and cn'ry ont that was discollteIlH:d. g-ather('c! themselves I1nto hi 111 ; ami he h('cam(' a captain over them:" in otl1(' r words, "hc gathered together the outcasts (,f Israel."

f)a,·id was in it vcry tight corner. He had Aed away from the vengeance of Saul and had gone to Achish the king of Galh. But there was no rC'it for him ill Gath. They began to 'iay, "Is not this David the king of the land? Did they not sing one to an­other of him in the dances, saying, Sa ul hath ... Iain his thou sands, and David hi!' ten th ousands?" I)a"icl heard it and knew that his life was in jeopardy. and determined to escape, David laid up these words of the lIIen of Gath in hi s heart. and was sore afraid; so he changcd his hchavi our, and feigned him­self mad-in their hand s. sc rabbled on the doors of th(' g-ate. and kt his spittle fall down upon his heard. Then the king said. "Ye see the man is Illad: where­fore then ha'·e yc hrought him to me?" This was just what David want('(1 him to think. He had to feign himself Illad ill order t o escape from Achish.

"J);l\·id there fore departcd thence, and escaped to the rave of .. ·\dullam." rt ",as not a heautiful palace or dwelling place . hut ju s t a (a'·e.

\Vhen his brethren and father heard it they went dowlJ to him. And everyone lhat was in distress, a nd e"eryone that was in deht, and e,'en'one thal was disconl<'ntcd, gathered them selves unto hll11; and he became a captain over them. I wonder whether I~e wanted all that sort of people. 00 you suppo~e he sa id to them. " I don't want this sort of people. I want some real good stufT"? The \Vord docs not rc<:ord that h(' lUrned away an)" and I ha"e come to the l"ondu'iioll that he did not turn allyollc away. If Y()~l arc in distress l1ly advice to you is, get away as qlllrkly as you ran to the l"ave of "dullal11. Thcse l1len wcre in d('ht, Heeing from crcditors; ci"ilization afforded them 110 refuge. David did not say. "Get oIT. J ~hall have to pay your debt if you come." Ko, he welcomed them all.

EH·n·ol1e that was discontented. There are Illany discontented people today who say life is not worth li ving. ]n ~pitc of all the efforts of the world to amuse them they are 110t satisfied. Try the cit\'e! Try David! Evcryone in distress or in debt. You do not know how Illuch you owe, your debt is too big and too heavy to be reckoned. but the best thing you can do is to get to the ca\"e of , \dulla1l1,

David became a captain over them and there were with him about fOllr hundred men. it was what I should cnll it ragamuffin army. Here they came. some in rags. no money to buy clothes. deeply in debt (some h'"'d not it rag of righteousness left). r see great encouragement for others who are in that ragamuffin condition this Illorning. without a rag of righteous­ness or a cent of goodness in their pockets. There is it plact of refuge in the cavc.

There ,n'I"(' ahout four hundred men. <la .contem~t-11>1(' little armv" I wonder why they came to nand \\"In· did they'" not go to someone (:Ist? The answer of thc \Vonl of God is that there was not another like David in all the land of Israel. First of all the~(: was none like him in character. GOd. declares ht~ charal"t(:r. Ife said. "[ ha,·e found nand the son of Jt~S('. a man after mine own hea.rt.'· That is what God !\aid about him; and when God ~peaks it is time for us to be silent about him.

Set·undl\". There was not another in all the coast:. of Israel like David in achievement. There was.a day when brael and the Philistines were approacltJn~ to battle and the two armies were upon t\\10 scct lons nr ris'ing ground facing ca('h other. TI~e father of David sent him to see how his hrethren til the a.rmy wcre getting on. \\"hen Da,·id got to t~le bat~lc f:Ollt what did he find? He heard a stentonan vOice ring­ing out fro111 across thc valley and he ~a\\' the mcn of I sracl shrink at the sound of that vOice. lIe asked, "\Vhat is this?" Thcy replied that this was t.he giant Goliath that was come out to defy the armies of Israel. ",'\nd Oa\"id spake to the men that s tood hy him, saying, \\'hat shall be done to the man that killcth this Phili !'-. tine, and taketh away. the rep:o~ch from I srael ? for who is this ~111circul11C1 s~d. Phlltstll~~ that he should defy the anmes of the hVlIlg God. ",I\nd he (Da\'id) took his ~taff in hi s hand , and c~ose fIve smooth st ones ont of the brook, and pu~ them In.a shepherd's bag which he had. even in a scnp; and IllS sling was in his hand: and he ~Ircw nea~, to the Philistine:' ,\ \\'elshman once saId t o me, Do you know what those stones arc ?, I s~ id. "No.". H~ said. "The)' arc the \Vonl of God: It hl.tS ever~ lime. "So Oavid pre\'ailed over the gIant \,·.nh a sl lllg and with a s t one;" and there was a great \"Ictory that day. The reason these men came to I.)avid. t~le~cfore,. was because there was not another hke Dand In achlevc ­ment in all the coasts of hrae\.

But there is st ill a third rcasoll why Lhey came to Da \'id. It was because he was anointed to be kil~g. "Then Samuel took the horn of oil. and anointed 111m ill the mid st of his brethren: and the Spirit of the Lord came upon David from that day forwa.rd." .AII Israel did not acknowledge him a~ the coming klllg. but some did.

\\'c can sec that David was a t ype of our greater David the Lord 'esu~ Christ. First in his character. God s;tid of Ili s 'dear Son. "This is ~[)' belovcd Son. in whom I alll well plea sed ." Je'iu", is ~he perfect On.c. The Father i" well plca:-.ed with 11 lin. Second, III

achievement there is not another like J esus. Surely Goliath is a type o f Satan. the prince of dark.ness and the leader of the hos t of the Philistines. Jesus t~e SOil of God. the Lion of the tribe of Judah , met hIm single ~ handed at the cross of Calvary and wrought a mighty victory that day .

. \lso Jesus as David is anointed to be King. Do we not s ing of Him:

"Jesus shall reign where'er the SUIl

Doth his successh·e journeys run; llis kingdom spread fr0111 shore to shore, Till 11I(lOllS shall rise and W;tIlC no more."

.:\nd we s ing because we belie'·c .He is the c~)Ining­King. The world says, "1\0. we \\111 have a klllg. of our own choosing." God says, "Yc shall have a klllg of My choosing." \Vhcn Jesus came up out o~ the Jordan lie was anointed to be ~(ing. God anolllted I lim \\·ith the Holy Ghost and \\"Ith power.

But what about the C;1\"('? \\'hat is a ca,"e? First of all. it is a dwelling plac<.' "not made with hands." That is the ~afe~t place in which to bc. } helil'\"e that ('a"c is a type oi the church of Jl':-.ttS ("hri:-.t, F irstly, it i~ Goers building; ~eculldl)", it is a hiddl'll place. The world docs not know where it is. But e\"eryonc that is in debt. or in distrcss. or tilscontent­cd . is looking to find out where the can' is; in fact. they search until they do find it. The can' is a place outside of civilization. \\'hen the great world ,\"ar broke out I read many of the papcrs; and the} ..:on­tained stich wails from the leading journalists of the day, who sa id . ".\Ias. alas , our fair ci,·i li zation. that we haye built up with so Illuch pains. is falling to the ground." \\'hy is it fall ing to the ground? Because God is not.. in it. The ca\"e will Il()t fall. Get illto the caye as quick ly as you can for there arc many and terrible earthquakes coming. The safest place is the cave. The church, not made wi th hand:-; . is the build­ing of God. Tt is outs ide the pa le of civil ization. The cave is a secret, hidden place: IoYour life is hid with Christ in God."

Jt was not t he hot and cold water arrangements in the ca,'e that drew these men. It "'as not the lux­urious feature s that drew the111. nor th e beautiful electr ic fixtures. It was (Ja,·id. \\' hat drew you into the church? It was Jesus. just Jesus. They came buzzing around Da vid and there they stayed. and David became captain {)\'er them. Th e world can ha\'e all their fine palaces. the cave is all right for us and we mean to s tay there.

"\'Yhere two or three arc gathered together in 11y name, there am I in the mid"it of t hem." It may be a cave, a barn, a little cottage meeting, a great build­ing; but where two o r three arc gathered tog't'lhl'l' in Ilis name , there fTe is in the midst.

In th e eyes of Illen that four hu nd red was ';a con­temptible little ar111Y." a ragamuOin arllly. But they had Da\'id, and Da"id began to put them through their drill. That little arlllY was neyer beaten in battle. Ho w did it happen that all these undesi rables were turned into such a mighty army ? 1 twas ])a "id's training. They caught the spirit of their leader. \Vha t were we when we came to Jesus? r was no good to anybody. llow were you? Jesus bas put us throllgh our pace s. I fe knows how to do it. He knows how to square our shoulders , how to teach us to walk up­rightly and to use our wcapons. \Ve would like it if wc ncver had to use o ur sword and shie ld of faith: but jesus ha s ghell us a hles~ed armor and H e lets the powers of darkne ss (,ollie at li S. to make li S lI :;C

our weapons that we may grow st ronger. So our great com mander Jestl s lead 'i us fo rward

and we folio\\'. \Ve. too, ha\'c caught His spirit. He said, "Tarry yc in the city of Jeru salem until yc he endued with power frOIll Oil high." \Ve waited in the cave and He fulfilled Ili s \\·ord. There ,\'(: re only one hundred and t wenty in the upper room. "a conte mp­tible little army," hut before long men sa id. "These that ha,'c turned the world ups idc down are come hither also."

Da,id had some mighty men. \\ here did they come from ? They callic from hi s ragamuffin army. from the discontented, di s tre s~cd ones. ~\mong the thirty mighty ones there were three chiefs . It is remark­able that among I1is disciples Je sus had three spec ial ones. Those mcn would do anything for David. "And David longed . and sa id, Oh that one would give me drink of the \\-atel' o f the well of 13ethlehclll . which is by the gate! .\!lel the three mighty men hrake through the host of the Phili<;tincs. and dre\\' water

FAITH TRIUMPHANT Habakkuk's Vision

By Laur-a Radford, JenllaJe m , Paleatine

Th(" .. nte~ning- of th(' ~lame Hahakkuk. <fa strong elll­Inan': g'IV('S '.l tnl(' I1lt!'ociu<'tion to the deepest l1I('anlllg of tIlls prophetIC' hook. It t:an refer either to tht, ~)I1C who ('lIIbraces , Gnd, or the one embraced, the, bcltever, an.d expresses the only relation ship and at~ltl1de whereIn till' New Testament definition of fa~lh ra n be realized, i. c., the "giving subs tance to lhlngs hoped for" (Heb. II :1).

The hook ~<.'gins with a hurd.en, "How long?" ( 1 :2), and ,('nds \ ... ·Ith a song, 111 will rejoice in Jehovah" (3: 18): and w(' sec. that faith, in such perplexity in ch:t pl('r 0!1c, and patiently waiting in chapter two, has a .r<.'v('latlon of I he Lord reigning (2 :20) which in­spl~e5 a psalm of worship that ends in a peon of praHit.' such as only faith can utter. The three chap­ters may be outlined as:

T. l:a!th s truggling; her burdell. n. l 'alt h resting; her vision.

1 I 1 Faith rejoicing: her song.

I. TT.

1T1

or Faith embracing the God of holiness. Faith ('mhracing the God of prom"ise. Faith embracing the God of salvation.

or again 1. ~he God of holinl' ss looking on in patience.

ll. 1 he God of truth ~pea~i,~g forth in promise. III. Th,e God of s~lvatlon ndlOg forth in power. Hut willchet'l'r outline wc follow, the conclusion is the ;same: ''''h('n faith si ngs, th e victory is WOIl, Hal­IeluJah!

!\nd t oday, as did Jfai>akkuk of o ld. man look !=; forth :tnd sees arolln,d the po\Vers of darkl1e~s prevailing on e"ery hand, c\'ils so gross, and unhelief so o\'crwhelm­~ng that human re~son can see no way oul. There IS s~en no ray C?f light ahead for the believing heart, ~ntll a deaf car IS turne~ to the throbbing fear~. Then 15 heard out of the thIck darkn~ss God's st ill small "nice ~ay il1g a~ He did, to Ilahakkuk, til am 'working a work III your days whIch ye will not believe though it I~(' l("ld .r0u" ( 1 :5). And faith worships Him as the l·.\·crlasllllg One, even Jehovah (1 :12).

\~ the burden of perplexity is poured out before Ilim, faith takes her place on the watchtower (2:1), knowing thal God answers the cry of the perplexed

heart, but that when God's answer comes there mast be a response from faith. And this is the crux of thc eye of faith today. What i. to be faith'. response to God? God's answer to the prophet's cry was a com­mand to make plain the vision for others to read; not to keep it as a bit of personal comfort for his own soul. \Vith this command came the reiterated promise, that the vision-the unveiling of the coming One-would surely come quickly, But it also included a personal message to the prophct-"Wait for it." And faith waits expectantly, God's fi\'efold woes are declared upon the workers of iniquity; but faith is immediately lifted above all these scenes of darkness to Jehovah llimself, and HE IS in His holy temple. He has taken care of the affairs of this world. Not onc of all the myriad forces of evil at work in 'this world have been overlooked. His word hath gone forth ('ol1cerning all of them "The government is upon r I is shoulders."

Faith hath nothing to do with the scenes of im ­pending c,.,.iL The revelation that the Lord is in His holy temple is a call to worship, When Isaiah saw the Lord in His temple, even the attending seraphim had their fa ces covered as they joined in the worship -"J loly. holy, holy, is the Lord of hosls" (Isa. 6 :3). When the vision opens before Habakkuk he sees, not the glory of ] ehoyah filling the temple, but the Lord Himself, and the cry goes forth, "Let all the earth keep silence before Him" (2 :20). Every human voice is hushed, and Faith takes up her song, at first so \\ avering, yet so soon utterly los t in the revelation given of His glory and power. No longer is faith trembling in perplexity, but in complete abandonment worships the Lord in Spirit and in truth.

Then the vision lifts and the prophet, undismayed, enumerates that part of the divine program that may be just before him \3 :17), and with holy boldness joins faith in the song of triumph-HI will rejoice in Jehovah, 1 will joy in the God of my salvation" (3:18). Faith had worshiped in the presence of the Lord, "substance had been giycn to t l1<' things hoped for ," and the)' are fearlessly declared, "The Lord IS my strength. He maketh my feet like hind's feet, and will make Ille to walk tlpon my high places" (3 :19),

Faith's response to Jehovah was worship in His holy temple. "And when he is come, he will reprove the world of , , . rightcousnes~, because I go to my Father" (John 16 :8,10). And we are in Him before t hI.! prescnce. of the Father. Hallelujah! Let us therefore also worship in Spirit and in truth; and as we do, the things hoped for will become spiritual realities. Amen.

"Trial humbles the soul and enables it to bear the ripened blessing, and to carry a full cup with a steady hand. Faith is not discouraged, but holds on in pa­tience, expecting the promised blessing in the fitting time."

"In trial of faith, let us take heed to our spirit t hat we trust God without stint, The soul's repose in Him is His delight; and He will honor it. Jehovah sitteth King upon the flood s, and Faith sits with Him."

"The chief excellency of faith is t hat it brings \1 5

into fellow ship with God, Abel- the first spoken of in Hebrews 11 - is commended, not because of any great deed on man's account, but because he wor­shiped God acceptahly. Nevertheless, if we trust God, t here is no limit to t he power of fa ith, w hat ­ever the thing to be done,"

BIBLE DISEASES FROM THE STANDPOINT OF MODERN MEDICAL SCIENCE

Lilian B. Yeomans M.D. In rcading the Bible accounts of the healing of dis­

eases, we are apt to \,"onder whether the ills from which the patients suffered were identical \\"ith sick­nesse ~ , .... hich arc l1rCyalcnt in modern times. As the language in which some of thl' cases arc described is rather t111li.kc terms ~I~. common ti"(' among tiS to· day, w e find It rather dlfhcult to determine the exact nature of th.e diseases'; so with the view of bringing them m.ore 1010 the realm of every-day thought, ane so ma~lIlg them ~C~ ... to l~S and a greater inspiratior to liS \11 our physIcal testtngs, I think it advisable tc gi ve a little time to the study of Bible diseases.

Leprosy True leprosy, the technical name for which is "ele­

phantiasis Graecorum" (said to have been so called because it is as much bigger than other diseases as the <:.1cpb;~nt i~ .larger .tl1aH other animab), i~ pfob­abl'y IdcntICal With .the.: Illcurable leprosy of the Bible. It IS the lIlost fornlldable and hopcless of all maladies. i\ltho.ugh it still afflicts humanity in certain localities. cspcClally . the Sandwich Islands, lndia, ~orway, thc \Vest Indlcs, and other place~, no cffccti,'c remedy has ever b<.:cn d iscO\"ered fOf it.

Symptoms-Skin eruptions, rutting and dropping ofT of parts of the hody. such as the limbs, cyelids, etc. (such di~fig,uremellt that all t race of human resem­b!ance is somelilllc~ lost); "graveyard breath;" ter­ribl e dreams: despaIr , and hatred of life.

Nine cases of leprosy arc mentioned in the Old Tes­tam~nt: ~oses (Ex. 4:6), 'Miriam (Num. 12). Naa­man (2 K111gS 5:1), Gehazi (2 Kings 5:27). Uzziah (2. ehron. 26: 19·21). and. four unna mcd persons (2 Kmgs 7:3). Job, also, IS be lieved by many Bible scho lars to have suffe red from t his disease. Note that he wa s afflicted with "sore boil s" (Job 2 :7), the same word a5 that tran:, latcd "botch" in Deut. 28 :3j­"a sore botch that cannot be heaJed." Observe also the following symptoms which accompanied his dis­ease: "awful dreams" (Job 7:3, 4, 13,14), emaciation (16:8), fo ul breath (17:1), hatred of life (3:20-22), changed appearance-"knew him not" (2 :12).

Twelve cases of leprosy are referred to in the New Testament: The single leper mcntioned in Matt. 8: 1-4 ; Mark I :40-45 ; and Luke 5:12-14; said by Luke to have b~el1 "full C?f leprosy" (Luke uses proper Greek medIcal terms 111 both the Gospel and the book of Acts), thc ten lepers (Luke 17:12-19), and Simon the leper (Matt. 26 :6)-belie,'cd to have been healed by Jesus.

In the in structions to the p riests, in the 13th and 14th chapters of Leviticus, regarding lepers, it is evi­dent that more t han one form o f the disease is re ­ferred to ; .while th~ l epe~-c ~ ean sing ceremony (Lev. 14 :1-7)-\\" lth the bIrd sla111 10 an ear then vessel over runn ing water, and the li "e bird dipped in blood and re leased-beaut ifully typifies Chris t, taking upon Him o~r nature! and, through the Eternal Spirit, offering Hl1l1self WIthout spot unto God for our redemption­glorious liberation from all disabilities of spirit, soul, and body.

See Numbers 11 :31-33: 14:37: 16:49: 25:9; 2 Sam. 24 : 12- 17 ; 1 Kings 8 :37 ; and others. Some of these visitations seem to ha ve resembled, possibly were identical wi th, modern plagues, such a s true Bubo­plague, I3lack Death, etc. There.is nothing in the great mortality attending the Scripture instances at all unlike that which was seen in epidemics of the Bubo-plague.

But we need not despair, for, if disease is the same, hcr:\lIsc the cause of disease is s till operative, "the spirit that now worketh in thc childrcn of dis­ubediellcc" (Eplt. 2 :2), then also the remedy, which has ncver failed all down the ccnturies, which healed leprosy. bl indne.·ss. paralysis, and al1 manner of s ick ­ness-the power of God through thc blood of thc Cross is also the sa1l1e, and availablc this very mo­ment, without money and without price to each one of us.

Jf we will keep all its tcrms in us and through us, and if we will but yield wholly to Ililll. then we can claim, and enjoy, im­munity from ~ i ckncss; for God has said, "If thou wilt diligcntly hcarkcn to the voice of the Lord, thy God, and wilt do that which is right in His sight, and wilt give ear to i lis commandments, and keep all His ~tatllles, I will put NONE of these d iseases upon thee which T have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that hcaleth thee" (Exodus 15 :26).

MY SOUL THIRSTETH FOR GOD (Psalm 42.2)

Samuc\ Rutherford kne\\' what this thirst was. \Vhen ,,-riting from the prison he said, "Oh, that Christ would come nearer, and stand still, and give mc Icave to look upon I rim! I should h:n-e a king's life, if I had no other thing to do than for evermore to behold and eye my fair Lord Jesu" nay, suppose I wcre holden at heaven'~ fair entry, I should be happy for t\'('rmore t o look through a hole in the door and see my cI('arest Lord's face .. \ long time out of Ili s glo­rious presence is two deaths and t \\"o hells to me. \Ve must meet. I must see JIim , T am not ab le to do w ithout I rim. Hunger and longing for J lim hath hrought on such a necessity of enjoying Christ, that, cost me what it will, I wi ll not do without Him."

"I could not do without Thee, o Saviour of the lost,

\\'hose precious blood redeemed me At suc h trcmendous ('ost;

Thy righteousness, Thy pardon. Thy prccious hlood must be

~ly onl y hope and com fort. My g lo ry and my plea.

at could not do without Thee, I cannot stand alone;

I have no strength or goodness, 1"\0 wisdom of my own;

But ThOll. belo\'ed Saviour . Art all in all t o mc,

And weakne ss w ill be power Jf leaning hard on Thee."

HPraycr begets prayer. Prayer beget s faith, and faith will move God to move mountains, raise the dead, heal the sick . 'Lord, teach us to pray.' It is a fact that many neglect secret praycr and Biblc study and thcn wonder why they have no power with God o r souis. It is much easier to preach and write about prayer than to get down to business and pray through. Simply talking to the air is not prayer. Lung-straining noi se is not prayer. A quarter min­ute's grace said over an hour's dinncr is not prayer. Threc minutes in a night-dress beside the bed and two hasty words bcfore dressing in the morning is not prayer. No, sir! Real prayer is VI/a I' ! \Var! War! '\Ve wrestle not against fle sh and bl ood, but against principalities and powcrs.' 'Men ought .. t!ways to pray and not to faint (cave in ) .' lIow our mind and fle sh resist it. lIenee the necessity of fasting to sub­due the flesh."-Se l.

MEDITATION Andrew Bonar tells of a s imple Christian in a farm

hOll se who had "meditated the Biblc through thrce timcs." This is precisely what the Psalmist had dOllC; hc "had shak en every tree in God's garden and gathered fruit therefrom." The idea of meditation is to "get into the middle of a thing." Meditation is to the mind what digestion is to the body. Unless the food be digested, the body receives no benefit; so unless the mind understands and the hcart C011-

sents and recei\'es, we deri\'e no good from what we read or hear. This is spiritual digestion, known as meditation. If we would "buy the truth," we must pay the price wl~ich Paul intimated ~vhen h.e wrote to Timothy: "Mcdltate upon these thlllgs, rflve thyself wholly to them." David meditate? in God s \Vord b~­cause he loved it, and he loved It because hc medI­tated in it.-Selccted.

Tuesday: "Abstain from all appearance o f evil" (1 Thes. 5:22).

Perhaps the most of us remember that homelv tale of the westerner who wac; hiring' a coachman.

MIRACLES IN THE LIFE OF A CATHOLIC

rhrce years aJ,Co t wa~ a Catholic an,j when I was told of a church where God hcals a'l of old, [ wanted to see the mir · ac1es; and, thank Cod, I did. The most ~urrrisinR part was that they began to hallpcn to me too; for when I heard the nldtime rdicrioll preached I ~aid to my­... df. "That's what r like; that just suits JIIe;" and 2 wt.:{'ks "iter r beanl the go!'­pel pn'"ched, r confessed to Jesus that r was a !'>inner; and then the miracles 11('gan to happen to me.

The next miracle was w.hen, by pra) er ami laving on of hand!!, I wa" healed of (·hronic sore throat of years s tanding, which, prai!!c Cod, I haven't had any more. r al!!o left off wearing glassc" afler t11'3yer heatt'd my eyes of astigma· tism.

into the Pentecostal faith, In March 1912 a fester came on the knuckle joint of the forefinger of my right ham\. ,The place was pricked wi th a needle, after that it swelled up and pained me. day and l1ight.

IS, 1922, I came to Dallas but d id not know how to grasp the faith , so it was after Chnstmas be· fore I left off medicine. My fingers are not straight yet but the pains arc gone. r am writing this with the same hand. I also praise God for raising me up from tubercul osis in 191 8 when e\'ery one who saw me seemed to gi .... e me up for death. T was in bed six weeks. In uecember following I had the flu .

HEALED OF PARALYSIS In 1922 we were living in llaryland.

A TESTIMONY A year ago last 'l'hanksgivi !l ~ I went

[l.=='='F=L=E=S=H=A=N=D=SP='=R='=T"=dl) We arc living in the day when Cod

is speaking to His children in dream~ and visions (Joel 3:28). If thcy as'e heed· cd it means a deeper cleansing to make liS ready for His appearing. God has g-iven me a ser ies of dreams, or. "visions in a dream," which have greatly edified the saints and I am sure haye led many. as they have me, to go down before the Lord in prayer a1td ·deep hea rt -searchin ,ss and heart-longings. I feel led to p ass them 011 to y ou that you may sh~re them \\·ith others ns the Lord tead!'l.

I In the first dream I was walki ng a.

long a narrow pathway, alone, in the mountains. when suddenly I came to a

Febrbary 16, 1924

wide open space, where I met face to face with an innumerable drove of horses '!riven by some men on horseback. I (Touched down beside a boulder to get out of the way, for some were plunging toward me, snorting and jumping excit­edly, others were running around in a circle, and some were even attempting to jump over immense boulders. They ,,.ere black, brown, and gray in color and beautiful to look upon. I could not but admire them as I watched their cease less activity, running hither and thither and never seeming to get any­where. It seemed hours that I waited for them to pass by, that I might con­tinue my journey.

Others had come up in the meantime, :'lnd together we waited and rejoiced as We sa,,. the horses become fewer anJ fewer in number. \Vhen 1 awoke, medi­t"ting upon this dream, and wondering what it all meant, for 1 knew it was from the Lord, the Holy Spirit spoke these words to me, "Horses are flesh and not spirit" (lsa. 31 :3). I now had the kef 10 my dream and the interpretation was very clear

Our progress in the spiritual life is hindered through the flesh I The enemy, represented by the horsemen, would drive us to live in the activity of the flesh and 'wonkl caUC;e us to trust in the works of th e flesh (lsa. 31 :1). We struggle and e;trive to attain and yet we rUIl around as it wcro in a circle, and accomplish not hing. The natural man is very active and although his works seem very beau tiful to lIlan (The horses were beauti~ ful), yet they arc only wood, hay, and stubble, which cannot stand the fire (1 Cor. 3:12, 13). We Christians must not enter into the spirit of· the age, "Run­ning to and £ro" and placing conhJcnce in the fl esh. Be silent, all flesh, before the Lord: for He is raised up out of H i!'> 1101 .. ha~itation (Zech. 2:13). No fle!'>h shall glory in Hi s presence (1 Cor I :29). "They that arc Christ's have cru­cified the flesh with its affection!.' and iuc;ts" (Cal. 5: 24). Can we not hear Him saying as H e did to the Israelites of olel, "In retnrni ng anel rcst shall re he saved, in quietness and confidence c;hall be your strength" (Isa. 30:IS)? Y<'t we have "fled upon horses" (V. 16), and harrenne~s has been the result (V. 17): but the Lord is waiting to be gracioue; unto tiS (V. 18). Sec al~o Ps. 33:17; 147:10: 7.ech.1O:5; Has. I :7: Hag. 2:22; lech. 9:10: Ps. 20:7: Jet". 17:5: 14th chapter of Hosea. 'Walk in the Spirit and ve ",hall·not fuftll the luc;ts of the fle~h ." "As many as arc led by thc Spirit of God, they arc the sons of Cod" (Gat. 5:16: Rom. 8: 14).

The study of the flesh throughout the Bible is very interesting and we find it manifeste\i in its various phases in most of the Bihle characters: fear. anger, jeal­ousy. greed, pride, lust, etc. Self covct-s it all, so ho\" necessary, it is that the "I" be crucified. Amalek, which is a type of the Ae c;h, can only be overcome by help from the "throne of grace"; and when we see the conflict in others (Gal. 5:17) we need to hold their hands Uf! in pray­er instead of criticising or comlemnine;:­(Ex. 17:8-16) , and our Joshua will win

THE PENTECOSTAL EVANGEL

the victory. Hallelujah I Saul Jidn't obey the Lord and fully destroy the Ama­lekites. Even beautiful flesh must go to the cross (I Sam. 15:9). When we have a vision of Him we will realize as Job did, that in us is no good thing and we will humble ourselves before Him that we may bt' adorned with His beauty. How I longed to truly enter into the walk in the Spirit after h,n'ing this dream; and a few weeks later the l.ord gave me another dream.

11 I saw a beautiful white horsc. 1£y

heart was filled with awe as ] beheld the perfect stillness of the hore;e. Not a movement of the mu!'c1es could I dis­rern and yet the horse was goinR" straight forward, calmly. !'ilently, ~erenely, sub­missivelv, in obedience to the '·oice of an uns~en ONE above; not looking to the riq-ht or te> the left. It appeared to be drawing a "ehicle, yet. to my amazement. T e;aw no harnes"" bit, or bridle on the hore;e. I.ookinff carefully, I beheld a band of ivorv encirciinR" the hore;e and joined to the vehicle. It wa~ "tuddcd with jewels; and the Spirit sail!. "In th" centcr of the will of God: all Oe .. h sub­dued."

Then T beheld a linen mantle fall (rom aho\'c over the horse, completely cover­ing it, head and all. The Spirit whis· pered, "And to her was granted that e;he should be arrayed in fine linen. clean and white, for the fine linen is the ri~ht­C'ousness of the saints" (Rev. 19 :8). The horse was hearkening to that unseen Ont· and was occ upied in obeying His com mande;. This One led through hard plac­es but the hore;c did not hesitate or rebel. Tn quiet sllbmi~sion it went onward and mv heart ached in sympathy. But ma­je~tically it went forward. without a sound. even up the steps: of my home and in the front doorll It went across the room and slowly knelt. I we nt over and lifted the mantel from the head ami behold a human face loe;t in worship ani adorat ion , e;aying, "Glory. hallelujah to Jesus." The "cry atmosphere nhol1t spoke of holine~<; to the Lord. The Holy Spirit sa id . "Tlli", i~ what it menns to walk in the Spirit."

How wonderful to follow H im into tht' crucified life; nll Aesh brought into e;\1b­jection to God, yielding to Hi e; will eyerv ~tep of the way, whatever the coe;tl A hor~e mllc;t be held in by bit ami bridle (Pc;. 32:9). Are we going to be as the horse? The horse of my dre:\Tll needed no bit hecause thc flesh h:'ld been sub~ tilled. Thc walk in the Spirit leade; to the prayer life and the life of true \Vor~ ~hip.

III Again, several nights later, I dreamed,

and. behold. a d;uk hor se harnessed and tied to a hitching post by the side of the roao. A man approached with a big ax and lifting it hi~h in the air, he brought it down on the horse's h ead cutting deep into thC' flesh. All<1in he useel the a:t, alwavs on the head. Finally, striking its thront from beneath, the head was e;('verrel from the body and the horse fell dead. ' It seemed a slow process, but in my dreim it took place

Paae: Nine.

quickly I can never iorget the look of patient endurance on that horse's face: the quiet submission to the blows. There was no attempt to run away i no kicking, no murmuring Ire ne\'er once opened his mouth (!sa. 53:7) 3i the work wa done. On awakening, the Holy Spirit gave: the interpretation: "This is the proces of cntcrir;g into thl' Spirit-led \\::Ilk.'· Are we willing to yield in quiet submis­sion to (',·ery cross, e\"ery tc .. tlllj::, every trial, \\ ithollt murmuriuR" or complaini" or attemlHing to run away from any in strument 1.od "l'l'~ fit to ue;e for our plrfcclion \\',11 "c ('ntl'r inlo the crll eified lih., not li\·ill~ to plca~e !'elf in any W3Y?

"Praying Hyde." The above is the title of a tittle book (to which th is is a wholly unsolic­

ited reference) published at 25 ceots by The Sunday School Times Co., Phila­delphia; a book which. ca refully read, should revolutionize the prayer life of allY Christian. ~ohn Hyde, the ~on of a Pre:.byterian minister, went to India as a missionary_ How he received the fulness of the Spirit and became until his death one of the greatest of intercessors, and how under God revival fires were kindled in answer to his prayers-these and othe r things are related in s imple, touching language. It is just such a testimony as the Christiall world needs today. Let multitude. read it, and manifold will be the results.

Said a great editor recently: "Every city in America .bould maintain .. noon-day prayer meeting to pray for revi.al." True, and should not also every Ch rist ian home and church become (as in 1858) recruiting centers of inter­cession, and every regenerated hea r t the throne-room of Ihe interceding Spirit of God? Not atone at 12 o'clock. bUI "evening and mornin g and noon" let larger numbers of God's peopl .... "cry aloud" (Psa 55.li); and let more churches have set seasons, weekly and monthly, to plead for revival, and to pray that God will put .imultaneously UpOD Hi. peopl. eyerywbere a burden of prayer.

Can arguments vanquish Modernism? Can prayerlessness recover lost g round? Can luk('warl11neo;s evangelize the world?

One migbty breath from heaveD will do it alL God will quickly "turn 10

flight thc annies of the alicns" encamping in the midst of His people, when His people have by the "wreslling" of prayer put to flight the hosts of spiritual wickedness encamping above them ; in other words, when the Church returns to the faithful observance of the apostolic order (Acts 6 :4)-prcvailing prayer first, and afterwards prevailing preaching-the former jndi.pen_bly, the latter inev itably.

1f issionary conventions? Bible conferences? \Vorkers' gatherings? Good, all good I But when the good leaves little room for the best, what then? The calling of well-nigh prayerless assemblies God "cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the .olemn meeting," Therefore Modernism grow. apace in the Church I Strategic centers continue being captured! The enemy goe. on gaining ground!

The devil loves controversy, but what effectual weapon b •• be wherewith to combat a. Churcb upon its knee.?

" H ow long, 0 Lord, how long?" Canst not Thou who art sovereign move "witb one accord" upon the hearts of Thy praying people? Canst Thou not make this the day, the year, when Thou shalt summon heaven and earth 10

witness that the God of Elijah sti ll lives-the God who condescends to answer mercif ully the cry of His confessing children who day and night in behalf of the Church
