Those most fainitirir with the history
of the Pentecostal Collegiate Institut1
have no hesitancy in decalring tl1at the
. work was born of God and has been
marvelously sustained by His
tial care. It seems to many that an in-
stitution that did . not have more than
human power behind it could never
have weathered the storms .of adversity
that om-s has gone through. It seems
sometimes as. if Satan had hindered in
every conceivable way.
Thank God, we are now seeing that
the clouds are lifting, the stormy waves
are and before us are fair
prospects of sunny prosperity.

In the darkest ooys of our history
the Lord gave a noble cross-bearing
company of teachers that said when
nearly every one else seemed completely
discouraged: ''This school is of . God.
We can and we will pray through to
victory .. '' .
Now in the days of greater calm all
that :were in the &torms rejoice over
privilege. They not only see. that' it
gave personal strength, but it has given .
a spiritual tone to the school of a rare
quality that could never have existed
under easier conditions.
Our chiehliffie ulties have always
of a financial character ; the educational
and spiritual standards have been con-
tintially lifted higher and higher, until

THE DOCTRINES OF THE CHURCH.
P. F. BRESEE, D. D.
HE Church :ests, first . ?f all,
upon. experience. That men
know God and have passed
from d eath . unto life, is the
great ' essential. But in order to do that
and for its maintenance, people must
Jmow and :believe the t:ruth ; possibly
not alLof the truth, but essential truth.
If a man seeks to find a certain place, .
t her e. are many roads he does not need
. t o ]mow, but the particular road that
l eads wher e he desires to go is essen-
tial.
is the h earing of the truth,
and enshrining it in the heart by obe-
dience and trust, thus bringing in and
maintaining experience-.
The Pentecostal Church of the Naz-
ar ene is clearly orthodox, .earnestly be-
lieving the great essentia.l doctrines of
the Word of God. While she believes
that -in essential ..
vation there should be liberty, she also
that in essentials there should
be unity, and in all things charity ; that
in r e-ference to where there
at;e or might b e two or more theories of
interp.retation, and a person could be-
lieve either one and still be holy, there
shoul!i. be liberty-that libe_rty which
allows other s the same privilege or .
freedom of thought in r eference to it
which we desire ourselves. The Church
rngards this full liberty in non-essen-
tials as vital t o the oneness of spirit
. is such a n ecessity for the unity
o the Church that it may conform to
. he purpose of Jesus, that the world
111ny believe and know him.
This Church b elieves some things to
he essential. Its Book of Discipline
says, under . the heading:
Agt'eed of Belief.
Recognizing that the right and privi-
. l ege of persons to Church membership
r est upon the fact of their being r egen-
crate, we would require only such avow-
als or belief as are essential to Chris-
tian experience. .
Whatever is thus essential lies at the
very basis of their association and fel-
lowspip in the Church; which there can
' be no failure to believe without forfeit-
ing Christian life itself, and thus the
right of all Church affiliation. That
which is not essential to life in Ciirist
J esus may be l eft to the individual lib-
ertr of Christian thought.

We gather from the writings of Rev:-
P. F. Bresee, D. P:, the founder of the
Nazarene Church; that, referring to its
origin, it was conceived by the Holy
Ghost in the hearts of a few sanctified
people, who travailed in pain for the re-
demption. of Israel, and was- brought
forth in a in the city of Los An-
geles, California, on the third Sabbath
of November, 1895. On that mqrning
about 85. persons stood tqgether and
pledged themselves to God and each of giving the source of the Pentecostal
Church of the Nazarene, time may help
us to get a faint glimpse of .jts _origin,
but it will take eternity arid glorified
spirits of just men made . perfect to
other to stand for holiness. A goodly.
of others joined to
them during the day al:\d the follovy-ing
week, when was organized the Church
The Association of Pentecostal ChurcbeQ
in Amenca:
Iu looking up the origin of the As-
. sociation of Pentecostal Churches of
Am_frica, we find in the statement of
its historian, . Rev. J.. C. Bearse, as
found iii the "Church Union
of the Nazarene Messenger, July 4,
1907, that in the .year 1904 the Spirit of
the Lord graciously moved William
Howard Hoople, a business man in New
York City,_ to ''Go into . all the world
. arid preach gospel' to every--
ture.'' He immediately opened a Mis-
sion, and the work spread and,- was so
blessed of God that in a short time three
Churches were organized in Brooklyn,
and in December, 1895 (one month later
than .when the . Nazarene Church was
organized)., delegates from these
Churches met and formed the "''
ciation of Pentecostal Qhurches .. of
America."
Somewhat earlier than the movement
in Brooklyn, a similar work was
on in New England, independent Holi-
n ess Churches were .'formed . at Rock,
Malden and Lynn, Mass., Providence,
R. I ., and Keene, N. H., . which had,
with other Holiness Churches, formed
the ''Central Evangelical Holiness is-
sociation ; -several of . the . Churches
which co.n:;;tituted the Central Evangel- .
ical Holiness Association,_ in the year
1897, united- with the Association of
Pentecostal Churches o{ America, cer-
tain revisions been made which
had been by joint com-
mittee of the. two bodies agreed upon
at a meeting held in Brooldyti, N. Y.,
in November, 1896. This work spread
until Churches w.ere orgimized in all of
the New _England States, l'{ova Scotia, .
a.nd as far west _as Iowa, so that when
this body and the Church of the Nazar-
ene for'med the union at Chicago, Octo-

This is a splendi.d new field, with

were sown with the good holiness seed.

South, one at Pilot Point, with .
about 200 and the other at
Peniel, the seat of the Texas Holiness
University, with nearly that many.
There are many good openings for
new churches. This is an old field and
has been well . evangelized, and there
are a number of places now ready to be
organized. We are getting calls al-
ready from several of our churches to
come and help them to get started un-
dQr the new arrangement.
The plan we have adopted to agitate
the new church question and to bring
our people into closer touch with the
work, is to hold District Rallies of three
or four days at central points and in-
vite the churches who want pastors and
the pr:eachers who want churches and
the people who want new. -churches or-
ganized, to meet with and we can
then plan together for the good of the
cause; and get a good idea of what .the
people want.

for holiness, our church would not do
much in those sections, but there are
other places where I believe, with' God's .
help, we can organize churches and get

The Spirit of God filled the Nazarene,
sealing Him for-_ the immediate con-

the defeat .of the Devil, marking a new
era, setting' a new _example, defining_ in
actions the plan of a fresh campaign,

THE BEULAH CHRISTIAN.
OME twenty years ago, through
the influence of old Douglas and
.other meetings, holine,ss began to
spread in Connecticut and Rhode 'Is-
land. Chief among obtaini.ng the
blessing was a company of Methodists
in Providence, and of. this number was
F. A. Hillery; one of God's warriprs.
The usual persecution against true holi-
ness .. set in, and Bro. Hillery was obliged
to specialize and sever his eonnection
with.the M. E . Church, but feeling how
great was tpe need that men should
know this sanctifying truth, inaugu-
rated a holiness church and'
called the Beulah Items. 'l'he paper was
issued month.ly for 25c per year. In
.the State of Connecticut, . Rev. E. B.
Pike, moveP. by the same considera-
tions, was publishing .a paper known as
Bible 'Christian. Qf

only
thing for people to do is to
get together, and so these papers ''got
together'' under the name Beulah
Christian, which has to
the present day.
Bro. Hillery worked _a!flid diffi-
so well known to holiness pub-
lishers, with stubborn faith and zeal.
The paper was enlarged, . and the price
raised successively to. 40c. and 50c per
y_ear. About ten years ago, after the
organization of the former Asspciation
of Pentecostal . Churches, The
costal Printing Co. formed as a
stock company to handle the business
do other job wo:rir as would

NAZARENE MESSENGER.
[(i)jr THE very beginning of the
of the Church of the Nazarene
we found th.at a paper was a ne-
cessity. There hl:!-4 tq be an immediate
issue, so a small pa-per called !!'he
N azarenc ,v-a:s published, with state-.
ments of what we were and the pur-
poses of the work. It -was sent out as a
single issue, no one. knowing wpethcr
would, ever have a. successor. Another.
and another, growing out of the same
continued necessities, were published
without plan as to the future. No one
knew but each would be the last. It
was finally concluded to publish it
monthly, which was done for some
time. It was at last determined-not
without much misgiving on the part of
Rome--=to undertake the publication of
a weekly paper. It was determined to
.run a job printing office, to .help pay
expenses. Several persons subscribed
what they could-several hundred dol-
lars-to open the office .and begin the
work. The N azat'ene Pitblishi'ng Co.
was organized and the name of the
paper changed to the . Nazarene Mes-
senger. . . . ..

C. J, KINNE
Among . holiness . . generally
there .is need of Sunday l:itera-
ture in which the teaching is . in har-
mony " i'itb the doctrine of sanctifica-
tion. Ther e is no more important work
than to properly teach the ' young peo-
ple. The .P entecostal Sunday School
}iter.at11re is prepared with
that end in view. There ar e two points
v.hi(!h. we constantly aim at : 1. Clear
teaching of the Bible doctrine concern-
ing sin and Ralvation, including entire
sanctification. 2. \Ve aim to encour-
age individual thought on t he part of
the student. To this end we aYoid ns

of as!dng questions and giving the an-
r-;wers to tliE)m .. No. t eachiog is worthy

Second, because the successful and
happy citlmination in the union of these
holiness forces, giving us a holiness

and from. the Lakes to the Gulf, we see
the answer to the Saviour's prayer,
"that they all may be one" in order
"that the world may believe." It is
the open of the truth.

l:IOLINESS.
D
HERE is one pro-eminent thing
in this it is the nature
of God and the supreme possi-
bility of In en-Holiness. God's nature
makes it a necessity, by the blo()d of
His Son He makes it a possibility, by
His own. personal presence as the Ghost
Most Holy He makes it an . experience.
It is the divinely royal thing. It en-
riches the being, robes the soul in
purity and crowns the brow with glory.
without it, everything fails, 'vith 1t all
things work together for good. When
the angels sang t he jubilee of the com-
ing of the Christ it was: Peace on
earth-sin destroyed, there can be no
peace but by its destruction-that peace
was Holiness.
\Vhen John the Baptist recognized
Him he .said, "Behold the Lamb of
God, which taketh away the sin of the
:,'I.VOrld. '' 'Vhen the sin of the world is
taken away the result is Holiness. In
the Old ..Testament He <commands men
to be holy, because He is holy. ; and in
the New He declares that without holi- .
ness no man shall see the Lord. Holi-
ness is the atmosphere of His presence,
where only holy beings can dwell. It
is the fiery glory of which the Prophet
speaks: "'Vho among us sna.U dwell
with the devouring fire? Who among us
shall dwell everlasting burnings? ''

DECLINE IN THE USE OF SCRIPTURE
LANGUAGE.
Any on:e familiar with the history of
the earlier church knows that in the
primitive church Christians sp'eaking on
religious subjects used the language of
the, New Testament. In every great'i:e-
vival since, the same practice has been
revived. One of the best evidences of
spiritual decline is a studied effort to
avoid using the language of Scripture
seriously and devoutly. Sound doctrine
cannot be taught without using the
'Vord of God. As long as .the
inward light, or the church or its creed
is made supreme authority, we are in
disorder and confusion. These may be
useful aids, but no book or creed ever
written by man conce1'ning the Bible is
half as instructive as the Bible itself.
Christ said, ''The words that I speak
unto you, they are spirit .and they are
life. '' The discussion of philosophy and
ethics in their place may be instructive
and may be imparted without the use
of peculiar to Christianity found
in the New Testament, but clear spirit-
ual truth cannot be tm1ght independent
of the hinguage of the 'Vonl. of God.
The greatest enemies of spirituality in
church and state persistin the exclusion
of the \V ord of God from the common
language and teaching. In many in-
stances where it is used the Word is
perverted, wrongly interpreted,
made to' convey another meaning
the one the Spirit intended.

and preach. Paril told Timothy to

thougth . . Most of theological error is
based upon a mis-use or a non-i1se of
the Holy Scriptures.
One may be pronounced ''clear,'' elo-
quent, logical, ''witty,''
''beautiful,'' but not a particle of spirit-
ual progress has been made in the soul
of speaker or hearer until the Holy Spir-
it has clinched some statement of God's
'.Vord on the heart and conscience. This
accounts for the enthusiasm .to hear elo-
quent men whose greatest sophistry lies
.in their ability to talk about scriptural
things in an unseriptmal manner.

_-WHY ''A NAZARENE.,.
,- EDWARD F. WALKER
Since taking. steps seeking
ship and Ininistry 'v'ith the Pentecostal
(lhurch of the Nazarftie, kind friends
lnlYC asked, "\Vhy?"
it .is not there is no
I,lace open and inviting to me.
J(indly hands have ltH') back
into touch with th.' dear denomi-
nation that gave me 1nembership and li-
cense and ordination; have invited me
aside into fellowship 1vith other denomi-
have enticed 1ne int9 the con-
servatism and comfort of retirement in
hon1e-life and ease; have sought to rein
and steady n1e in the way I have fol-
lowed for thes'e 1nany years. For such
dear hands ! "'have the kiss of apprecia-
tion and affection.
Surely it not because I seek per-
_sonal profit. In days I have had
< 1ny for . these things. In-
.;. deed, they ha,;e not been utterl:Y' .denied
1ue. in 1ny course of the past.
And I do not wholly despise such .
.
things. But the things that 'vere gain
to m.e I have counted loss for Christ.
..:-\..Inong a number of \Vorthy consider-
ations the following have mainly influ-
enced me:
1. Consistency.
I an1 persuaded that it is better to be
where there is no temptation to warp
. one's vie1vs or utterances into conform-
ity to his Confession of Faith, or strain
the declaratiops of the confession into
harn1ony 1vith his real beliefs. I am
. in eKact agreement 'vith the tdoctrlnal
of this deno1ninatiou on es-
seiltial things, and .with its undogmat-
ical and liberal position on 1natters
'vhich, though important, are not essen-
tial, and COncerning \Vhich is room
. .
for differences. On the great esse-ntials
insistent unity; on the non-essentials
agreement to disagree in an agreeable
. Jnanner.
2. Consecration.
z, What good thing which was co1n1nit-
ted thee, keep by the Holy Ghost
which dwelleth. in us.'! .(2 Tin1. 1 :14.)
It is as important to be . kept as it is to
t)e saved. I agree with John
.. that we should immediately seek to get

eannot keep what they get;" also with

THANKSGIVING
T. S. MASHBURN ..
Why should we give thanks? First,
because Jesus did so himself, thereby
giving us the example. And secondly,
because it manifests a spirit of grate-
fulness on our part ' toward the giver.
Third, because it serves as a connecting
link to draw more closely together,
tlyneby enabling brethren to dwell to-
gether in unity.
If this be true in the natural world,
and it is, how much more should it be
tl'ne in the supernatural. It is custom-
ary for the president by official procla-
mation to set apart one day in . each
year as a day
0
of thanksgiving, which is
certainly right and commendable for a
people whose God is the Lord; and who
inscribe on every dollar ''In God we
trust.''
.But President" upon whose
shoitlders rests the government, accord-
. ing to the prophet Isaiah, has in his
word taught us to pray a.lways, and in
every thing to give thanks. Of course
we do live more or less in that spirit
every day in the year, but, beloved
Nazarenes, we certainly fail to thank,
praise and rejoice in God as_ we should
at all tiuics.
what say you? Shall we improve on
this point? Well, by God '(J help the

PILOT POINT RESCUE HOME.
The Rescue Home at Pilot Point,
Texas, from its inception in February,
1903, to 1908, was a work of faith that
God has blessed in a wonderful meas-
ure. The Home was opened - 1mder
rather difficult circumstances, as there
was no' one in real sympathy with the
work, and there were none to encour-
age with the financial aid so necessary
to the success of every enterprise of
the kind. The greater privilege of fre-
quent earnest prayer, continuing often
throughout the night, was the only
source from which the faithful founder
could draw on the bank of' faith
the supplies that could._come only in an-
swer to fervent effectual prayer. They
were but few_ girls in the Home the first
year, but patience had its perfect woik,
and in the year 1904 the Home was
inaugurated under new a'uspices and be-
came at once the center of a per,rna-
nent home for erring but penitent girls,
until we are grateful to report that dur-
ing the past five years -and nine month&
\\'e have fed and clothed 27G
girls. The great majority of this num-
ber were soundly converted and have
remained tru,e to. their vows:
double blessing.
There are multitudes of young people who
could be blessed and some of them saved
through the influence of a clean, spiritual
young people's paper. There ought to be
among the readers of THE NAZARENE MES-
SENGER 500 persons who will send THE
YO,UTH's CoMRADE to five different persons
as a Christmas present. The club rate is
60c each for five or more. For.$3.00 you can
bless five homes and help the paper as well.
Rememember it is a big undertakiQg .to
furnish such a paper for that priCe and we
must have a large subscription list. If you.
realize, as many do, the great need for such a
publication you would make a special effort
to help make it go. Do it now.

. .THE.: CHURCH_ cAS_:_AN
. FORCE.
1. G. MARTIN.
'fhat the Pentecostal Church of t}le
Nazarene has been a great evangelizing
agency, since its organization, .. is evi-
dent to everyone who is familiar with
the rise and progress of this
born
. As evidence of this we have only
to follow the streams of light; and
salvation that. have _flowed out from it,
t hrough. these valleys, over the hills
and across the mountains, uqtil . it" has
touched and. all over our
land and couritry. Nor has it stopped
the- home land, but has -crossed
t he seas and j_s ,pouring streams. of "b-less-
ing in and upon the far awayllcathen
lands.
'!'hat it is possible for this . evarige-
lizing force to continue to deepen and
widen until it girdles the globe is
within the range of possibility; but it
should not be forgotten that there arc
Bible conditions to be complic(l
with in order to a continuance of this
force in the church. Just as Pentecost
preceded and gave birth to the Church
of the New Testament, even so must
t.hc Spirit precede and give birth to
every true . Pentecostal Church of the
Naz!lrene. A church may continu,c to
exist .as an ecclesiasticism long aftci
it has lost every element of a true Pen-
tecostal N azarcne Church or any other
church. Where the Spirit is, there is
the church, and there only is the tr1w
ehurch.
not only' did Pentecost, pr!'-
ccdcl/ and give birth to the New Testa-
ment Church, but -the "cssentia.l
of Pentecos't, the baptism with the Holy
Ghost, and the abiding presence of thf'
Spirit, continued with the chuich as
long as they continued steadfastly m
the Apostles' doctrine.
And, as a result, ''the' IJord added
t.o the church daily such as were being
saved."
This essential and permanent ele-
ment of Pentecost is what made the
riarly church evangeiizing force
that she was, and it is the only thing
t;J1at will make the P entecostal Nazar-
Church a force. in the
evari.gelizatioit. of this world,

is not the friend of God, the church and
the world do not agree.

sanctification--of at every com
ing together is the rule and not the ex-
ception. , The seekers may be both from

from the latter.

like the early Pentecostal church, is

I have. read with great .' interest-- an(f pleasure the
first number of '!'HE YOUTH' S COMRADE, edited by
Rev. c. J: Kinne, -and'pub-lished by tlre--Nazaren'e' Pub-
lishing _House, Los Angeles. It seems to me to be
in every way, and to meet a great need. To .-
have a live .young people's. paper from a ' holiness
standpoint, full of good things, bright in its makeup,
showing the .attractiveneas and. blesseaness of the.
King' s highway, is just the thing:
, - P. F. BRESE.E,
..- -.,General Supt.
Church of the Nazarene.
carefully .reading THE YOUTH'S COMRADE I
am firmly convinced that this paper is the best, cleari-
. esJ{:and safest SundaY,:-schqol paper' that has ever been
_ placed ip. my 4ilnds. No school ought to be without'it":
.- It so beautifully adapted .. to. young and old> i'ts
teaching is safe, and it can safely . be placed j-rr the
,,
..
hands of any young person, having no frivolous read-
ing such as .'\YQUlq our _young people
astray. After about of.e:xperience as.a ." 'i .
superintendent and knowing something of the Sunday-
school literature as published today, I can without any
hesit11ncy flay to all superintendents get one; and read
.for yourself, I am sui:e you will decide in'its favor.
