r
denominations glorify Death and ascribe to it a power which they deny
to Christ; while still others rely on growth to cleanse from all sin
and get us ready for the glory-world. The Bible, however, with that
sublime indifference to all human opinions and theories becoming in
divine authority, reveals a SALVATION FROM ALL SIN HERE AND NOW.

The word sanctify means simply "to make holy" (L., sanctificare =
sanctus, holy, + ficare, to make). The work of sanctification removes
all the roots of bitterness and destroys the remains of sin in the
heart.

UNREASONABLE ANTAGONISM.

What sound sense can there be in antagonizing a blessing which is
nothing more or less than cleanness--mental, moral and physical
cleanness. The kind of character that would wittingly fight holiness
would object to a change of linen.

A CHURCH IN JERSEY.

The eagerness with which truly devout people welcome the preaching of
full salvation is refreshing. It was the writer's privilege to hold an
eight-day meeting with a church in Central New Jersey. The church was
in excellent condition, for the pastor, a godly and earnest man, had
faithfully proclaimed justification and its appropriate fruits. Nearly
all the members were praying, conscientious and zealous Christians.
When, at the first meeting, which was the regular Sunday morning
service, the experience of sanctification was presented, over one
hundred persons arose, thus signifying their desire for the precious
grace!

OPEN THE ALTAR!

The language of the child of God is, "Does God want me sanctified? Then
open the altar for I am coming." He does not tarry; he does not higgle
and hesitate; he makes for the "straw pile" if in a New England camp;
the "saw-dust" if down South; the "altar rail" if in a spiritual
church; to his knees at any rate, for God's will he desires and must
have. Thank God he can have it!

CHAPTER II.

SOME ERRORS.

THE BEAR-SKIN.

Satan is very busily engaged in destroying and misrepresenting God's
best experiences. He slanders the work of God in order that His
children may not come into their inheritance. The "bear-skin" frightens
the would-be seeker and keeps him out of the Canaan land.

ROSENTHAL.

Darkness hates light. The Prince of Darkness dreads truth and light,
for he knows that if God's children ever see sanctification as it is,
there will be a general stampede for consecration. If the public really
believed that Rosenthal would play the piano
