HoLY LONGINGS.
My soul breaks out in strong desire.
The perfect bliss to prove;
My longing heart is all on fire
To.be dissolved-in love.
Heaven Upon the Earth.
ANYTHING that despoils God's work and hinders His
pu,rpose, should find no place in the heart or life of
people; but they should g)adly s_eek to kn?w and to do H1s
will, not only for His glory, but for the1r own
tion and bles!'}ing. The high purpose of God for H1s_
ancient people is in this clear statement, "Ag
days of heaven upon earth." This was not only in respect
to their perpetual occupation of Canaan, but also as to the
blessings God would put upon them; and it was fo be
brought about by their obedience to His commandments
and by their teaching of them to their children. God
must have had in His purpose .... a very happy life for- His_
people_; "as the days of upon .the earth." u that
WE should keep in contact with sinners, but never in
fellowship with them.

JoHN sa}'fl that "E-very one tha doeth righteousness.
is borri of God.'' These words inferentially speak the
and lost condition of all the human race. If
all that do righteousness are born of God, then it is also-
lutely necessary to be born of God to d9 righteousness.
This is a that cannot lfe, and it would be
well if we would put it alongside our lives, to see if our
thoughts, desires, plans, words and acts were righteous.
Notice that it does not say being righteous, but "doeth
yet it implies an inward righteous
condition necessary to an outward integrity. Is it
not here where the Church needs to measure up-to bring
its doing up to the level of its professing? How this
would remove the reproach that is upon the Church, and
take away the stumbling-block that lies in the way of the
unsaved. There is only one law of righteousness-God's

BIBLE RESTITUTION.
H. H. B. "CIPRICO.
"If thou bring thy gift to the altar, and
there rememberest that thy brother hath
aught against thee; leave there thy gift
before the altar, and go thy way; first be
reconciled to brother,. and then come and
offer thy gift" (Matt. 5: 23, 24).
If every professor of Christianity
would obey the foregoing command,
this world would see the greatest
revival ever known. Probably more
. Christians fail at this point than-at-
any other. You will notice that.the
text says if ''thy brother hath aught
against thee," and not if thou hast
aught against him. Of course we
should pay our debts.'. So much will
the heathen do, or the infidel. We
should return fourfold, as. did
Zaccheus, what })as been wrongfully
obtained; for genuinely conVieted sin-
ners will do.that before conversion, as
a matter of repentance. .-How then
may the words "hath aught against
thee" apply to seeing that
the Holy Spirit leads even repentant
sinners to make straight paths for
their feet and right the they
have committed, sometimes in advance
of their conversion? Shakespeare
says, "He who steals my purse steals
trash, but he that robs me of my_good
name, takes that which enriches him
not, but makes me poor indeed."
People cim wrong one another much
more with their tongues, ' by speaking .
.evil, than any other W11Y. See Wes-
ley's sermon on Evil Speaking, also
read James, third chapter. But sup-
pose we have done or said nothing
amiss and our is "void of
offence toward God and man," and
yet our brother appears to have a
grievance against us. Have we gone
to him in humil}ty and love and sought
to remove this impression from his
mind? Have we done all in our power
to keep in the spirit of unity with our
brethren and ' ' in the bonds of peace;'?
our acts have had the stamp
and approval of God,, and He has sub.:
sequently vindicated us by gracious
outpourings of His Spirit upon us,

COURAGE.
To accomplish anything in this
world for righteousness courage is a .
necessity. "Where every foot of
ground is so contested, it takes a
courageous heart to undertake things,
and where the attacks are so frequent
and fierce, courage is a con'stant neces-
sity. To make the charge, to scale
the parapet, to storm the battery, are
courageous things; but to stand in the .
ranks and await the attack when the
leaden rain and iron hail are falling
or whizzing on every , demands
courage in a still greater degree.
Moral courage is much greater and of
much finer fiber than physical. Gen-
eral George Washington was pecu-
liarly endowed with physical courage.
It was this, together with his clear-
sighted common sense, which brought
him through his first great military
test-Braddock's defeat-with honor
and increased reputation. Writing of
this he is reported to have said:
''I heard the bullets whistle; and
believe me, there is music in the
sound. "
In after years being questioned
a pout it he said, ''If I did rnake such
a remark it was when I was young, "
But he was never kpown to mani-
.. fest physical fear. At one time mak-
ing an examination in the face of the
enemy's fire, one of his aides, fearing
for his safety, ventured to remark
that the position was very much
exposed. The General said:

MOUNTAIN HOME, IDAHO.
We received notice July 28 from our
District Superintendent H. D. Brown
that we were appointed to Mountain
Home, Idaho, as pastor for the com-
ing year. We began preparations at
once to leave Walla Walla, Wash., our
former home, and arrived here 5:25 a.
m: August 4. We were met ' at the
train by Rev .. H. C. Ethel and then
taken to the home of Brother J. E.
Greeno. Our people have rented a
house for us, bl;lt we will be enter-
tained in their home's until our house-
hold goods arrive. They have also
rented a store building in a better
location than the old hall, and fitted
it up as a place of worship . . Bro.
Ethel has done efficient work during
his short stay here, but there is still
much to be done in -establishing the
work. The Sunday services were
much blessed of the Lord. Brother
Ethel preached his farewell sermon
at 11:15 a. m., and the writer took

OUR '=DEETS PACIFiC BIBLE' COLLEGE.
IF. a nation would be and
perpetuate itself, it must establish and
systematically support a system of
public education; and that its people
may willingly support the system,
they must know of and love it. We
need only :t:efer to the system of pub-
lic educl:l-tion of the U riited States,
known so well, loved so deeply, and
supported so freely. Herein is one of
the reasons why she is both strong
and self-perpetuating. A denomina-
tion to be strong and constantly
increasing, must have its institutions.
of le':!rning, in which its doctrines a,nd
polity may be freely and continuously
taught. (1) It must not only have
such. institutiops, but its people must
know them; not know. about them, but
really know them so thoroughly as to
be able to realize what they are, and
what they stand for, why they
stand for it. (2) It must support its
own institutions systematically and
continually, for another will not. (3)
In order to support its own institutions
systematically and continually it must
love them, for love is the only continu-
ous power. Other motives
fail; "love never faileth. " Such peo-
ple will esteem it a privilege to give
freely to its institutions which will
strengthen and spread its doctrines.
The Pentecostal Church of the Naz-
arene, although so young in years,
_has recognized this truth, and has
. already 'arranged for a system of edu-
cation to assist in sreading and con-
. serving Christian holiness.
While the . Pentecostal Church of
the Nazarene-has two institutions in.
its and soon is to have a
third, and these are well located to
accommodate our people, the Deets
Pacific Bible College, in L'os Angeles,
Cal., the Pentecostal Collegiate Insti-
tute, No. Scituate, R. I. , and the third
school in . Texas, we wish to call the
special attention of the readers of the
NAZARENE MeSSENGER, to ' o.ur Deets
Pacf,fic Bible College, as\.being the one
whiGhshould be the more accessible
to the people west of the Mississippi
River, and speCially so to those in 'the
Pacific Coast states. .
. All our people should know . our
Deets Pacific Bible College, its loca-
".
tion, its history, its object, its courses
of study, its conditions for students
entering, its faculty and officers. I
say we should know, yea, we .. ought
to be so familiarly acquainted with
our school on the Pacific Coast that
we shall love it fervently and esteem
. it a great privilege to support it by
our prayers and offerings systematic-
ally and continually.
I am sure, dear reader, if you will
acquaint yourself with our D. P. B.
College, you will truly love it and
heartily support it. There are several
ways to become acquainted with it.
I will mention a few:
1. Send at ohce to our Principal,
Leora Maris, for our handsome and
instructive catalog, and it will be sent
you free. .. . ..
2. If :-ypu are not too far away
take time and visit our You
will be amply paid for both your time
and money expended.
3. Write the Associate Principal,
Bess S. Wood, and ask all the ques-
tions aho'ut our College you wish and
she will gladly reply.
4. Take the NAZARENE MESSEN-
GER, in which you will learn much
about our College and its work and
needs. .
5. Attend .the special exercises,
such as the opening, the mid-year and
commencement, and see for yourself
the kind of work we are doing.
6. If possible, visit our different
classes and. chapel exercises; attend
the prayer and holiness meetings . .
Call on the different members of our
strong, intelligent and spiritual fac-
ulty, anq you will soon become
acquainted with and love o.ur College ..
7. If you have a boy or girl that
is ready for such instruction as our
College is prepared .to give, send . .
them as soon as possible. If you
haven't any children ready, send
some other boy or giil or man or
woman that would go if they c9uld
have tb,e necessary help.
. Finally, if you .. cannot go, or
send, or pay, you can find money for
a postatcard and send for a catalogue
and familiarize yourself with and
pray regularly for our Deets Pacific
Bible College and our God will bless
it, and abundantly reward you.

UNCONSCIOUS KINDNESS.
A
YOUNG woman who had passed
through deep sorrows, ' said to a
friend, in speaking -of the comfort
certain persons had given her uncon-
sciously: ''I wish sonie people knew
just how much their faces ca:q comfort
one! I Qften ride -down 1n the same
street-car with your father, and it has
been such a help to me to sit next to
him: There is something so good and
strong and kind about him; it has been
a comfort just to feel that he was
beside me. Sometimes when I have
been utterly depressed and
aged, he has seemed somehow to know
just the right word to say to
me; but, if he . didn't talk, why,
I just looked at his face, and that
helped me. He probably has not
the least idea of it either, for I know
him so slightly.; and I don't suppose
people half realize, anyway, how much
they are bel ping or hindering others.,,
There is a great deal of this uncon-
scious kindness in the world. "Moses
wist not t.hat the of his face
shone. '' According to the old legend,
it was only when the saintly man's
shadow fell . behind him, where he
could not see it, that it healed the
sick. This is a parable. Goodness
which is aware of itself has lost some
of its charm. Kindnesses are

STATEMENT.
' V e must give Saul credit for keeping
his l ast a greement with Da vid. Ha d we
as good evi(leneo of his adjustment with
God, as with . his injured son-in-law, well
might we be glad. The Bible is not so
much interested in consecutive ch_ronology
as the s tory of God and the human soul.
Not long after the last lesson, a cloud of
war ga the rs in the west and the Philis
tines mass their forces on the slopes of
Mt. Gilboa, where Sa ul's tragic life ends.
His past courage and generalship seem to
to ha ve left him when he left God. At
the sight of the enemy he is afraid. He
"inquires of the Lord," but bas no an-
swer, cha p. 28:6. Next he renorts to a

COMMENTS.
There' bas been great na t ional advance
since tlie days of Eli. At last the nation
is a unit. . In spite of the ill record of
Saul's later life, his reign bas proofs
of marked and rapid unifying and een
tralizing. the fra gfllentary and spiritless
hordes of the time of 'the Judges. Nation
.... ally, tho pe_ople are one. In leadership
. there was something of. division, but not
as to the national life .itself. The rising
faction under David were being harbored.
'b y the_ Philistines, who perhaps knew. of
tho strife about leadership,' and hoped to
take advantage of it. But making
11
away tho families of.bi il .. band. with . all
their property. After their recapture we
find David- and his men looking, in
their own land. At the opportune time
God bas his 'imccessor to Saul
on band and fitted for the place as few
men have ever been. It is a real wonder
story, far transcending the great '_' plo*B '!
of the story men make so much. of in this
"story " writing age of ours, Saul
bling and f earing and with-
out hope, or any one to counse_l with, can
do _but be carried in the- mareh
of the army to defeat and death. 'Men
of Israel . . . fell down slain in Mount
GUboa." "Phllisttnes slew Jonathan.
and Melchiilbaa, . BODS of Saul,"
! battle went sore against Saul, .be was
sore wounded of' the arcben.'' So reads
th'e of that awful day's carnage.
"Saul took a sword and fell upon it." So
ends that ill-timed life. It looks like sui-
cide.. Is itf may

it i_s, j tjs
self-mduced; bke thousanas we know to-
day. There was a day when Saul took the
reins in his own hands, when God had
given him special orders. The other side
of that day when be did so was the sword
through hi s breast at -Mt. Gilboa. There
is i nsanity which is not self-wrought.
There is the taking of life when. the mind
is unbalanced that cannot be called suicide.
But God baS:written the story here, so we
can read the signals all along the way until
the tragic He W:Quld not .repent and
so could not return. He knew the "way,
but would not go until he was so far down
'the hill that God left him to face the
choice he had made. So when there was . .
no God to help, no man to relieve, no hope
for life, be chose the sword and death
of his own free will.
"That same day together. " Another
'' Icbabod'' day: The glory of Israel de
parts again: Sin. Sin. Sin. . It brings
only defeat . Saul dead. .Jonathall dead.

at his side. Israel's valiant soldiers slain
all along the sides of Gilboa. No wonder
they sa ng, "Tell it not in Gatb. Publish
it not in the s t reets of Ask elon. ' ' (Read
2 Sa m. 1: 1.7-27. )
AS TO TEACHING AND RECITING.
L Here is a prac tical lesson in national
life. It must necessarily shake the abili-
ties a nd character of its chief officials.

tion if Saui , like Joshua, had ''wholly fol-

on a crisis in national affairs. David

3. Ba d of one may. be the e nd of

FOR CHRIST'S SAKE.
Dr. Mason, of Gurma, once wanted
a teacher-to.vlsit and labor among a
warlike tribe. He asked his con-
verted boatman, Shapon, if he would
go, and told him he would have only
four rupees a month as a teacher,
whereas he was then earning fifteen
as a boatman. After praying over
the matter he returned to the Doctor,
and the following conversation
ensued: "Well, Shapon,'.' said the
Doctor, ''what have you decided-
will you go for four rupees a month?"
"No, teacher,'' replied Shapon;
will not go for four rupees a montl1.;
but I will go for Christ. " And for
Christ's sake he did go. -Selected.

THE TENTH.
If every child of God would give a
tenth there would be plenty of money
to carry on God's work. The tenth
of <Jur income is not ours; it is the
Lord's. If we give the Lord what is
His right, then the way is clear for
us to ask His blessing on our part for
wisdom to lay it out to the best advan-
tage. It would really do us more
good than ' -the whole amount. God
asks us in His Word: "Will a man
. rob God? yet ye have robbed me."
When we don't give Him a tenth we
are robbing God-robbing Him in
tithes and offerings. God also tells
us, "Bring ye all the tithes into the
storehouse." And He will bless us if
we do. He will bless us as churches
in a way that He has never blessed
us heretofore. Mal. 3. When we offer
