f care, sanctification is just the experience he needs. Read
the life of Mrs. Fletcher, and see how sanctification can help a woman
with multitudinous domestic cares. Study the lives of "Billy" Bray and
William Carvosso, and remember that it was sanctification which helped
these men in their difficulties. If there is a soul anywhere filled
with unspeakable sorrow, shivering alone in the dark, the brightest
light that can come to that stricken soul is full salvation. No matter
how sharp the thorn, nor how galling the fetter, sanctification turns
the thorn into oil, and the fetter into a chain of plaited flowers.

CLANS.

It is said by some that sanctification makes people "clannish."
Clannish is a word with a rather offensive taste on the tongue, and is
altogether too harsh a word to apply to that congregative instinct that
makes pure-minded persons crave the fellowship of kindred spirits.
There is nothing intentionally exclusive about the holiness movement.
If a man is shut out it is because he shuts himself out; if he does not
feel at home in a full salvation service it is because he has not yet
obtained full salvation.

BROWNING CLUBS.

Men who share great truths and principles in common find in each
other's presence and fellowship great help. Admirers of Browning form
"Browning Clubs"; foot-ball men gather themselves into "associations";
ministers meet in "Monday meetings"; Christians organize "churches"; is
it to be thought strange if people who are sanctified wholly delight to
meet for conference and mutual help?

THE SPLITTING OF THE CHURCH

A few uninformed persons say that "holiness splits the church." But
this is false. When men love God with all their heart and their
neighbors as themselves, nothing can separate them. If, however, people
of different sorts and kinds, some saved and some unsaved, are in one
organization, it will not require anything much to make them differ in
opinion. The real ecclesia, the genuine church, is not so easily split.
One of our most brilliant and spiritual holiness writers has remarked
in pleasantry that the anxiety of some in regard to the splitting of
the church would lead one to think that there was something inside
which they were afraid would be seen in case of a cleavage.

KEEP TO THE BIBLE.

Keep to the Bible idea of sanctification. Let not the adversary dupe
you and frighten you from its quest and obtainment. Begin now; seek,
search, pray, consecrate, believe, an
