LORD has declared, "The
just shall live by faith." And
real faith in our faithful Saviour will constantly 1l13ni £Cst
itself in psalms of praise. Abraham was
"strong in faith," and the result was that
he was constantly "giving glory to God."
Rom. 4 :20. If our hearts are filled with
faith, praise and thanksgiving will be
constantly springing forth as water from
a living fountain.
But where there is a heart fl1l\ of unbelief, murmuring and complaining will
be issuing out of the same. That is why
it is so important that we keep our hearts
with all diligence, for Out of the heart
come the issues of life. Songs
come forth frol11 a heart full of
faith , and murmuring and C0111plaining come from a heart full
of unbelief. The children of
Israel in the wilderness spoke
against God and against 1\.loses,
making complaint, "\Vhercfore
have ye brought us up out of
E gypt to die in the wilderness?
for there is no bread, neither
is there any water; and our
!lioul loatheth this light bre.1.d."
Loathing the bread of heaven!
Then th e L ord let flc ry serpents
come into the camp of di.scontented complai ners. And these
serpents innicted terrible bites
so that as a resu lt many died.
Start to murmur and complain
and you invite that old serpent
the devil and his hordes of clemons, who will surely make
havoc of your life.
Israel repented of this evil.
They said to Moses, "'vVe have
sinned, fa" we have tipoken
again st the Lord, and again st
thee; pray unto the Lord, that
he take away the se rpents from tis."
There is a greater than i\\oses to whom
we can confess our ~ill~. One \\'ho knows
all our weaknesses and who ever .. Jives
to make intercession.
The Lord instructed Moses, "i\lake
thee a fiery serpent. and set it upon a
pole: and it shall come to pass that every
one that is billen. when he looketh upon
it, shallli\"e." \\'ondcrfnl picture of Calvary, where that old serpent the devil,
was brought to noug ht, and where sin
was judged. Look a way unto that Saviou r who WClIt to Calvary for you. There
} Ie was made sin for you that you might
become the righteousness of God in 11im.
\\'hat an exchange t Himself taking aUf
sins and giving us 11is righteou sness. Believe the record that llc took yOllr sin
and then by simple faith take] I is righteousness. This is the remedy fo r all the
bites of the se fJX'nts. As we look away
to this wonde rful Saviour and Ht:ueemcr
and accept what Be bas provided, a song
of praise wiU ascend froill grateful lips
to Him who has redeemed us out of the
hand of the enemy. ]Jcnceforth let liS
take this alt itude, and say like the man
after God's own heart, " 1 will bless the
Lord at all times: his praise s hall COIltinually be in my mou th ." P sa.lm 34: I.
In Psalm 68: 19 we read these words,
"Blessed be the Lord, who daily

favors? David giycs liS the ;:\11s wer in P salm 103: I, 2, •. .mess

we have had such spiritual gifts beyond

happened we wondered what our next
meal would be, and before it was due a
large sa lmon was delivered to us by a
merely casual acquaintance, who had one
fish too many; and the next meal, with
no provisions in sight, we were not surprised when a dear friend delivered a
part of a hind quarter of beef that had

to use. ;"Teilher ant: knew of our need,

Praise

on in this psalm he says, HAs far as the
east is f rom the west, so far hath he
removed our transgressions from us."
That is surely something to bless the
Lord for. All the way through this psalm
he tells us the things for which we shou ld
praise, and he finishes up with the further command to his soul, "mess the
Lord, 0 my soul." By an act of will,
constantly command your soul to praise.
You will find this a great spiritual secret.
Constantly sing to the well wilhin,
"Spring up, 0 well," and you will find
the well of praise springing up.
H ow often should we praise? The
Psalmist says, "From the rising o[ the
sun unto the going down of the same
the Lord's name is to be praised." That
meall S a life of continuous praise. And
a life of cont inllous praise means a Ide
of continuous victory. The first message the writer ever heard in tongues and
interpretation was this: "Praising the
Lord puts the enemy to flight." Il was
twenty-eight years ago that I heard this
message and for twenty-eight years 1
have been proving the truth of it.
There is one thing that will effectu;:tlly
hinder the praise-life-that thing is sin.
David, the sweet singer of I srael, sinned
with a most grievous transgression.
And then his song ceased. In Psalm
51 we hear his prayer of penitence.
L isten as he petitions for forgiveness,

"Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit."
Hear him as he cries for the return of

twenty-fi ve feet away. Men were on a divine assurance to me that at t he moocca~ionally
ment I was struck I was at peace with
God and ready to be translated.
Because of my realizing these two
wonderful things there has not been a
moment in these twelve days of much
pain in which I have not been gratef ul
with a heartfelt gratitude that I had
had the experience. I have felt that the
bles!)ings received were cheap at the pr ice
paid. \Vhen, on the fourth day after the
accident I wen t to church and stood to
tell abollt the cushions, many others, as
well as mysel f were blessed in their
souls. Al so the fact that on the fifth
day f was back at my desk do ing my
regular work, was made a blessing to
many who saw me, as a testimony that
Oll r God is in truth and reality the Healer o f those of His people who will trust
Him.
All of this brings to mind a scripture
which to many has seemed difficult, and
to some even unreasonable. It reads,
"Giving thanks always for all things unto.
God and the Father in the name of our
Lord Jesus ehri!!." Eph. 5 :20. I have
given thanks to God that f was hit,
doing so involuntarily at first, and afterwards gladly.
The patience of Job is ment ioned and
we are reminded of his latter end in
which he was so signally blessed of the
Lord. James says, speaking of him,
that we count them ha ppy whidl cndure,
and he remi nds us that God blessed the
latter end of job more than his beginning. 1\t the begillllillg he was "the
greatest of all the men of the cast."
Ezekiel twice, in listing men who are
superlatively great with God, names
Noah, Daniel, and Job. Evidently what
Job endured has brought to him extraordinary favor with God in eternity.
] ob·s losses were stupendous-all his
children, the sympathy and helpfulne~s
of hi s wife, and all of hi s property.
:r-.loreover he had to endure lhe longdrawn-out faultfi nding and crucl accusations of his friends, on top of the

Job could have said, reasonably and wisely, and possihly he did say with Paul,
~fy ·'light affliction which is but for a
moment workelh for me a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory."
Thus we see that it wou ld have been

This happened on Sunday night. Monday
night they contin ued the ir devilish work
till nearly midnight. A few nights later the
authorities from here went up to investigat e
as the authorities of that district did not
do anything abou t the disturbance. When
the people saw the police they sent someOIlC to ring the church bell to gather the
mob again
They came from everywhere
and resisted the police, saying that if they
ar rested one, they would have to arrest
everybody. Soon the Commande r phoned
to the city and a stage full of soldiers went

lIut many people t hink that they will not be
punished.
"The priest was called to appear before

TRIALS AND VICTORIES IN AZORES
Two vcry interesting letters have been received from Manuel B. Sequeira, one of our
mini~tcn who rccel1tly returned to Azores
to continuc missionary work. Many and
variNI arc the expcrlences he mcets as he
endeavors to plant lhe gospel seed in the
islands.
In une letter he writes: '\Ve visited the
Islands of Terceira, San Jorge, Fayal, and
PicQ and the Lord blessed and gave us open
doors everywhere. We distributed thousands
of tra cts and sold many Uibles, Testaments
and portions of it. During their feast days,
we had great victories among the people
wh ere hundr'cds heard the \Vurt! and bought
it. (;rcat mobs in t he carnival s were wor·

pre\aiJcd.
"In the vilb.ge of Magdalena of Pico we
had a peculiar experience with a mob of
people who gathered about us to buy Gospels
and New Testaments. A policeman came
with an air of supuiority, saying that the
Bible was false and that one Bible cont radicted a nother. We eX I)lained to him
about the dilTerent translators, but that the

"At th is the people became very nenous,
making threats in a low tone, taking sides
wi t h the policeman. W hen he returned with
t he Bible the mob was rejoicing, but to their
astonishm ent the passage could not be fo und,
although he se arched diligently page by page
from Genesis to Revelatio n. The poor fellow
WAS so humiliated and vexed that he went
home and never return ed to molest us again.
The Lord gave us a great victory that day.

POlul the prisoner of Jeliu~ Christ wrote to
his friend Philemon concerning a !'Jl;we !>clong4
ing to P hilemon who had escaped and, seemingly. had stolen frOIll his ma~ t er. The slavc
was Oll('simus. O nesimus was ~aved from his
sin)' and brought into the hody of Christ
through Ihe ministry of Paul. who c'llls him his
child (same word used in I Cor. 7 :14) "whom

thc constnlctiOI\ of the balltistry, Ol)enly speaks
of the converted convicts as "brother," and
walks unashamed wit h the nl, his arm enci rcling
ttlelll. Thus he displays the Sl)iri t of Chris t.
Paul calls Onesimus his child; he 10\'es him;
and the fact that Onesimus is a slave in no way
diminishes his ardcn t affection. Here is one
of tile ch ief Icssons of this leltcr. The new
man th;lt we arc is no respcete r of persons,

EFFECTIVE PREACHING
Thc Preachrr's MatnlaJ
The first condition of efJective work is an
efficient workman. There is 110 clement in
preaching so important as the preacher . if
a man is going to be an cffecti~·e preacher,
Iu mllst li11C ta preach. It must be the one
serious business of his life. having the first
place in his thoughts and the first claim Oil
his tillle. A preaehe r who makes anything else
his work, and preaching his pastime, has mistaken his calling.
There are some accessories of the preacher's work that should not be overlooked. :M any
a man's work is hindered by t r ifling defects that
l11ight be easily remedied. N othillg in or about
a preacher is unimportant. H is dress, style,
and manner all count fo r or against the effectiveness of his ministry. Slovenliness and
slouching habit close many a door against both
the man and his message, and, on the other
hand, aloofness and affectation a re equally
prejudicial to success.
Sometimes mere accessories make all the difference between success and failure.
Professional pleasantness, studied dralllalism, and
rehearsed elocution are unpardonable in the
pulpit, but there is 110 reason why any man
should prejudice his mission by want of discillline, training, and care. There are no triOes
in the serv ice of God. Everything leads back
to the man. The Quality of the preacher
uctermiues the level of the preaching. Even
in the accessories it is the mau that counts.
There is 110 instT!lelor of the voice like an
impassioned heart, in gesture there is 110 art
like the artless impulse of the soul, and in
manner there is no tutor like a sincere and
gentle spirit. There is no surer way of becoming an effective preacher than that the
preacher himself be a true sermon.

lIo"ea 2:7. The Churl'h is spoken of
as one t:.,pou~ed to Chri~t (2 Cor. 11:2), to be
prcsellled tu I lim "a g-Iorious church" (Eph.
5 :2(', 27), that it llliRht be uniled with Christ
at "the marriage of the Lamb." Rev. 19 :7.
\\'e would warn, ho\re\'cr, again:-t playing 011
these metaphors dORlllatically for while the
Church is spoken o f as an eSI)()used virgin,
Paul also uses the figure of marriage to symbolize the present union of Christ and the
Church. Eph. 5 :22-32. In using these sym bols God is no\ establi~hing set doctrines, but
is using earthly relationshi j)s as types of those
whi ch are spiritual, or heavenly.· IT. S. W.

HEALED ANlJ B:\PT IZED l~ TilE
HOLY SPIRIT
February 10th, 19J6, I suffcred a stroke of
lXlralysis. A few minutes later 111y husband
came and found mc unable 10 I;c\ to the bed
and scarccly able to speak. The ::otroke affected
my leit side and lilY Idt arlll wa;, COIl1I)let..:!y
paralyzed, as limp as :t rag.
After carryillg mc to my bcd, my hu:.balld
called the saints to pray fo r 111e. Soon 1
could raise Illy left arm above Ill) head and
a little later was able to lift our baby with
the same arm. A lthough I could walk and usc
my hand normal feeling had not )et retUfned.
By the next night the 110rmal fee ling: had returned almost IX!rfectly.
The !.trokc was 011 Monday. Tile following F r iday night the s)mpoloms reappea red.
\Ve Sl)cnt most of the nigh t in prayer resisting
the devil. It seemed I would have another
st roke. I was so wcak I could hardly stay
UI). Saturday morning \\C called the saints
again; they stayed 11105t of the day. Late ill
the eveni ng after mos t of thcm had left the
devil attacked me aga in. \Ve sent for morc
of the fo lk to come and WClll to prayer again .
As thc saints cont inued ill I)raye r at thi~ time
I became so ill it seemed 1 would have to
leave this world.
L asked my husband to have thc pa stor alloint me with oil and l)ray again for mc. Soon
til(: l)Ower of God flooded the rOOIll. Some were
~Iai n before thc Lord; two messagcs in tongues
werc given. Ouc of these was \'cry helpful
to mc. 50011 after this prayer the Pastor
a .. ked me to si t in a chair while they laid hands
on me alld praycd again. The pa~lOr encouraged me to roll off lilY burdens on J esus. I
did so, and it was not long ulltil jeslb secmcd
to apl)ear before IIIC, and 1 just gave lI im my
burdens. Presently I rcceivcd my Rapt islli and
began to speak ill tongues, and was healed.
That has been about seven monlhs ago. Today
the healing stands ami I alll quite well and
s trong.-~[ rs. C. T. Graves, Cla r k, ~I o.
\Ve have beeLL Sister Graves' pastors fo r
some mOllths and can testify that she is now
qu it e well . If we had not been told, we
shou ld never have knowll that she had been
paralyzed.- Pastor and Mrs. F. R . Davidson .
1 was S ister Graves' pastor al the time oi
her healing a nd can say tha t the fo regoi ng
testimony is entirely true. A large number
of the saints wcre thcre at the time of the
healing, all of whom gave glory 10 God for
the wonderful working of the S pir it. "This

110" E CONFESS ION
During a meeting in Ireland Mr. ~I oody
found a young man, who had found peace with
God, returning again, three days after, to the
inquiry rOOI11. "\Vhat's wrong?" Mr. Moody
asked. "1 was too prec ipiwte," he answered;
"there is no cha nge in me." "No, Si r," an-
.\'o;'cmlwr 21, 1936
swercd ~lr. ~r()ocly, "that is not the reasnn.
YOII Irat.'c 'lOt co"'fl'ssc(/ Christ." The young
man !>tarted, and said, ·"II(,\\, do von kilO" .
Who told ynu?" "Xobody told I;ll', \\'bl'n
a man goes away trusting one night, ami COl11l',
hack doubting the next, it i~ an il1fallihle ~i~n
that he has not confessed Chri"I." "It i~ trill',"
the young man answered sorruwiully; "my
mother is a Christian; but my Iwart lailed Illl'
that niRht, and I thol!f.(ht I wOllld tdl her ill
the morning, Then when the mornin~ C;HIll',
it 5("('med harder, and I thought, ~he will a . . ]..;
why I did not tell her last night. Then I
came to the e()nc1usioll it was all ,I delusio11
if I had l>Cen .'laved, I would havt' ('I nfe""ed"
).lr, ~Ioody il'd him again to hi~ Sa\·iour; and
the ncxt night, as he saw him pointinJ.{ a soul
to Christ, ~I r, Moody touched him on thc
shouldcr and said, "How is it with you now?"
--he looked III) with a bright "mik ;lI1d ~aid,

he started to come to our sen·ice in :'1 adras
with a fellow student, but he still wore the
caste ll1ark painted all hi~ brow. SlIn(\;I), af\('r
Sunday I saw him silting there. It wa~ as
though he were saying; "1 am i1!{crcQed in
your Christianity but I am loyal to 1l1~. father's
gods." You can imagine my f('clin~s when
one Sunday evening the caste mark nn his
brow had heen washed off. After the service
he came ami asked me to bapti;:e him, but to
do it secretly. Secretly. for if he hccamc a
Christian open ly his career was cnded. I lis
family wOlild dis inherit him. I l is examination
iees wotlld not be paid.
As tcnderly as I could I tried to explain to
him that baptism is an opcn confession of
J('su~,
I left it there. I felt temptcd to tdl
him 10 wait 1I11ti l his examinations were on::r,
but a voice warned 111e to say no 1l1(Jre. Ill'
weill away, like another young man, sorrowful,
hut he came back within a \\Ct'k or two.
"Whatcve r il costs," he said, " I fed that I

funning OH r to u~ ~ayjl1g that M ira!>h
was clyinJ[. lie W<t!> our only Chri~tian con v
Hrl in the whule pro"incc of Oman. I rushed
ovcr to the men's hut ,me! found it empty.
I hIring the night a famtical ),tohammedan
brother had ("'ome aud stulclI the body, ear ryv
JUI-: it to his own hut with the ide:\ that ii
\1 ira"h (tier! in his h()u~c, he could tell to the
(""it)" that ),Iira;,h had di('d a \fohammcdan. lIe
c"uld then claim the widow, would be in a rKlsiv
ti(11I to dictate as to he r f UlI1rc, and would gain
Illoncy from her remarriage.
\\'e went t" the brothe r's Iwu~e and found the
lIo,:,r h;lrrerl. Finally, th rough a fricnd, we
w~'rc admitted ancl spent the last few hours
with ~rirash hcfore he was called home. The
hrolll(:r rcf u~e () to allow him 10 have a Chrisli:1I\ hurial and tried to gel frietld~ to help
him bury :-'1 i r a~h. They all refused, saying
that :-i nce "\1 ira~h wac; a Christian during \ife
they would have nothing to dn with him now.
The hrother wa s about to tel! us to bury
,\!irash when the mother stC'l>[led to the doorway and with a face like wme and, pointing
to the rocks behind r-.luscat, said, "1 would
rather have my boy carried to Ihose rock .. and
the birds cat his body than to have the Chris v
!iam. hury him." TIle hrot he r hec3mc more
fanatica l and finally got help to give 1firash
a ~I os l em burial.
A ~ my colleague and I C<lme back from the
cemetery we noticed a great COlllmotion about
the courtyard. They were forci ng the young
wido\\' through the ),I ohammedan ceremony of
widowhood In our stctir>!l of ;\ ral>ia, as the
men Cf'me hack f rom the cemetery they bring
the widow out to the thr(' ~hold of the door
and throw ing over her a h!;lck cloth they a~k
her \ 0 repea t the fir c;t chapter of the Koran,
thus declarinJ.;" her intention to foll ow the religion of he r husband. Then shc is ushered
back into a dark rOOll1, where for fou r months
and ten days she remain s in utter seclusion.
She ~ees no (l I1C and food is handed through the
door. After that she is brought out and the
olde~t male relative has the right to arrange a
wC<.lding.
\\'c found the rclative~ forcing the young
widow th rough this 1.:('1"I;11Ion)'. In front of
her were a fanatical group of womell. A religious judge was tr)ing to force her to repeat
the required \\"ords. ~Iy colleague stepped up
to the old man and said in A rabic, "There is
no compulsion in rel1giol1." The judge looked
around and said, "You arc right, we will let
her sl>cak for herself:' At these worel s Miriam
stood up and faced thc crowd of men who had
been jeering at her and 5aid. "I am a Christi··n
and am going to be a Christian."
That was over three years ago. I remained
on in ~ll1scat for two years and saw Miriam
nearly C\'ery day. She was despised by all her
friends and relati,·es. Pois(.tIled food was sent
to her. A fa natical brother threatened her
life if he should e\'cr sec her on the street.
Bul under conditions like these she rcmainl-d
truc, ne\er (nee deny ing her ~ra s ter. She
willingly went through all this because Christ

also read, "Likewise the Spirit also hel pcth our infirmities." The blessed Holy

Eph. 5: 18 is translated by \Veymouth:

we shall find it easy to "give thanks for

Once more let us look away to our

drink and drink (\l1d drink of the blessed

A lady overpowered wi th joy after
listening to the \ Vord of God, said, " I
feel like a cat in catni p." " Catni p !" exclaimed the preacher ; " I don 't know
what YOll mean." It was then explained
t hat cats love to roll in a certa in he rb,
which they eat when sick; and t hat they
are so pleased when they flOd themselves
in catnip that they roll and gambol for
very joy. l t was a very expressive way
to denote her joy.

Pray for Reviual
IV. C. I\[ oore
Someone has said that no work for
God can prosper except it be supported
and defended by definite, believing
prayer.
I t is Revival or ruin as far as the spiritual life of the individual Church is concern ed.
And Revivals are born in praye r and
only flouris h in a prayer atmosphere.
It is "ery important to have Group
prayer meetings at the Church regularly,
and to attend these services just as faithi ully a:-,; the usual Church se rv ices.
For a work to be successful, not only
!limit t he Gospel be preached in the
power o f the S pirit, bllt God's \Vord
must be oheyed, and God's continuous
help must be maintained by the persistent
prayers of His people.
In the middle of the nineteenth Centllry Ihe Yorlh Carolina lay in the harbor
otT X ew York. She was man ned with
about olle thousand men. Among these
were four Ch ristians who agreed to meet
for p rayer. They met far below d~k.
One was an Episcopalian, another a Presbyterian , and two were Bapti!'>ls. As they
knelt to pray their hearts were overflowing with the joy of salvation and
they began to sing His praises.
T he sweet strain s of their song arose
high above deck and their ungodly sh ipmates ran below to scorn and to mOck.
But so gre3.t was the power of God
manifest in the rejoicing faith of the
four praying mcn that tbe laughing of
Ihe ungodly was changed into the ery
of penitent sinners. As a result Revival broke out in the depths of the
North Carolina. Prayer meeti ngs were
held every night.
Conversions took
place every day. The battleship became
a vertible Revival Center. Ministers
from ashore were called in to help deal
with the men. And since the No rtlt
Carolina was a receiving ship, from
which men were assigned to other battleships, the converts of this Revival were
scattered throughout the Navy. Ship
after ship left the harbor for foreign
seas, each carrying its Ihtnd of s01l1winning COil verts. Thus the prayer meeting of the fOll r below deck precipitated a
revi"al that reached to the ends of the
earth.
And as this revival came in answer to
believing prayer , so God will do like
things, or far greater things, today if the
condition s of believing, preva iling prayer
arc met by Christians everywhere. Let us
pray and believe for the Greatest Revival
the " ' orld has eve r known.
Christ's Practice of Prayer
The earthly ministry of our Lord was
begun in prayer (Luke 3 :21 ), continued
in prayer and ended in prayer. Luke
23 :34. The heavenly ministry of our
Page N illl'lren
Lord was begun in prayer (John 14 :16)
and is JlOW continued In praYl·r. Heb.
7 :25.
"Lord teach tiS to pray." l.uke 11:1.
Prayer was lIIore lI11portant than rest,
for "in the morning a great whilc hdore
day 1Ie rose up and went out into a
desert place and thl'fC pravcu" ).lark
1 :35.
.
Praycr was morl' lI11portant than slcep,
for "IIc went Out into the Illuuntain to
pray and He contllllH.'d .111 Ilig-ht 111 prayer to God." Luke 6:12.
1937
Prayer was more important III securing workers than either money or
mac hinery, for He sa id, .. Pray ye the
Lord of the haf\'e~t that He send forth
laborers into His harvc.: ... t" ~tatt 9 :38.
Praycr is as IIl1portatlt as Ili s other
ministric.:s. for "I Ie C\Tr liveth to make
IIltcrccssion for lI!'>." li e-h. 7 :25.
The trying' Ullll' for the .\theist is
when he feds thank (lIl hut has nohody to
thank.
