RIGHTEOUSNESS

It is written of our blessed Lord, "Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; thcrefo'rc God. cven thy God, hath anointed thee with the oi l of ~Iadness above thy fe.llows." It is the purpose of (.oc! that ,\:r, as. wc are Ill,dwelt by the Spirit of Ilis ~Ol!. ~ho ll 'd hk<.·wlse lovc rlghteousncss and hate in~ IqUlty. I see that therc is a place for us in Christ Jcsu<; whe re we arc no longer under condemnation hut wlH'rc.: the heavens are always open to us. I sec lha l God ha s a realm of divine life opening up to us ~vh~'r<', th('l'e arc boundless possibilities, where there IS lllllll1ess power, whe re there are untold resources, whery we ha\"(' vinory over all the power of the deyil. I he,hrH' th!ll, ~~ we are filled with t he desire to press on mto thiS hf(' of true holiness, desiring only the ~Iory of God, thl'r(' is nothing that can hinder our true ad,·ancement.

Peter comlllences his second epistle with these word s. "~im () n Peter, a servant and an apost le of Je,slI s C~l'Ist, to the III that have obtained like precious faith wllh li S through the righteousness of God and our ~aviour J esus Christ." It is through faith that we r(',ah zc tha,t we have a blessed and glorious union With our" ri sen .Lord. ~Vhen He was on earth Jesus told li S , I alll 111 the l ' athe r and the Father in me H

"The Father that dwellcth ill Me He doeth the k " ' w?r s: ,A nd TIc prayed to His Father, not only for

H,s d isciples, but for those who should believe on II im through their w?rd, "That they all may be one; as Thou, Frtther, art 10 Mc, and I in Thee that they also nlay be onc in us: that the world n{ay believe that Thou has t sent Me." Oh what an inheritance is ours whcn the very nature, the very righteou sness, the very power of the Father and the Son arc made real in us. This is God's purpose, and as we by faith la y hold on the purpose we shall be ever conscious of the fact that greater is He that is in us than he that is in Ihe world. The purpose of all scripture is 10 move us on to this wonderful and blessed eleva­tion of faith where our constant experience is the manifestat ion of God's life and power through us.

Peter goes on writ ing to these who have obta ined like precious faith , saying, "Grace and peace be mul ~ liplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord." We can have the multiplication of this grace and peace only as we li ve in thc realm of fa ith . Abraham attained to the place where he hecame a friend of God. on no ot her line than that of believing God. He believed God and God counted that to hi m for righteousness. Righteousness was imputed to him on no other g round than that he be~ lievcd God. Can this be true of anybody else? Yes, evcry person in the whole wide world \\' ho is sa,"('d hy faith is blessed with faithful Abraham. The prom­ise which came to him because he bel ieved God was that in Him all the families of the earth should be blessed. \Vhen we believe God there is no knowing ",here the blessing of our faith will end.

So me arc tied up because, when they are prayed fur. the thing that they are expecting does not come off the same night. They say they belie,'e, but you can see that they are really in turmoil of unbelief. ,\hraham belie\'Cd God. You can hear him saying to Sarah, "Sarah, there is no life in you and there is nothing in me, but God has promised us a son and I

l,elieve God." And that kind of faith is a joy to our father in heaven.

One day I was having a meeting in Bury, in Lan· cashire, England. A young woman was present who ('altle from a place called RatllSbottom, to be healed of goiter. Before she came she ~aid, "I am going to be healed of this goiter, mother," After onc meeting she came forward and \\"a ... prayed for. The next meeting she got up and testified that she had becn wonderfully healed. and she sa id, "I shall be so happy to go and tell mother that I have been wonder· fully healed." She went to hcr home and testified how wonderfully she had been healed, and the next year when we were having the convention she came again. To the natural view it looked as though the goiter was just as big as ever; but that young woman was bel ieving God and she was soon on her feet gi\"· ing her test imony, and saying, "I was here las t year and the Lord wonderfully healed me. 1 want to tell you that this has been the bes t year of my life ." She seemed to be g reatly blessed in that meeting and she went home to testify more st rongly than ever that the Lord had healed her. She believed God. The third year she was at the meeting again, and some people who looked at her said, "lIow big that goiter has be­come." But when the time came for test imony she was up on her feet and test ified, wfwo years ago the Lord gloriously healed me of goiter. Oh I had a mOSt wonderful healing. It is grand to be healed by the power of God." That day someon e remon strated with her and said, "People will think there is something the mattcr with you. Why don't yOlt look in the glass? You will see your goiter is b igger than ever." That good woman went to the Lord about it and said, "Lord, you so wonderfully healed me two years ago. \.von't you show all the people that you healed me," She went to sleep peacefully that night still believing God and when she came down the next day there was not a trace or a mark of that goiter.

God's word is from everlasting to everlast ing. His word cannot fail. God's word is true and when we rest in the fact of it s truth what mighty results we can get. Faith never looks in the glass. Faith has a glass into which it can look. It is the glass of the perfect law of liberty. "\Vhoso looketh into the per ~ feet law of liberty, and continueth there in, he being not a forgetful hearer , but a doer of the work, this Illan shall be bJessed in his deed." To the man who look s into this perfect law of God all darkness is r e~ llIo"cd and he sees hi s completeness in Christ. There is no darkness in fa ith. 'There is only darkness in nature. Darkness only exists ",hell the natural is put in t he place of the di vine.

Not only is grace multiplied to us through knowl­edge of God and of Jesus Chr ist, but peace also. As we really know our God and Je sus Christ whom IIe has sent, we ",ill ha ve peace multiplied to us even in the Illultiplied fires of ten thousand Nebuchadnczzars. It will be multiplied to us e\'en t hough we arc put into the den of lions, and we will live with joy in the midst of the whole thing. \Vha t was the difference between Daniel and the king that night when Daniel was put into the den of lions? Daniel knew, but the king was experimenting. The king came around the next morning and cried, "Oh Dan iel, sen-ant of the li ving God, is thy God, whom thou ~ervest cont inu­ally, able to deliver thee from the lions?" Daniel answered, ".i\Iy God hath sent His angel , and hath ~ hut the lions' mouths." The thing was done. It was done when Daniel prayed with his windows open toward heaven. All our victories are won before we

go into thc fight. Prayu links us 011 to our Im'cl" Cod, our. abounding God. our multiplying Goo. oh I lo'·e Him! lie is ::.0 wonderful!

You will note. as you read these first two vcr~c~ of the .first chapter of the second epi::)tle of Peter, that th,,, grace and peace is multiplied through the knowledge of God, but that first our faith COlnt!5 through the righteousness of ~od. Note that right­eousnC5" comes first and knowledge afterwards. It cannot be otherwise. If you expect any revelation of God apayt from holiness you will h~n-e only a Illi:...­ture. llollntss opens the door to all the treasurc .... of God. lie must first bring us to the place "'here we, like our Lord, 10\"e righteousness and hate in­iqu ity, before 11e opens up to us these gooo tr<'il!5UreoS. \;Yhell we regard iniquity in our hearts the Lord will not hear us, and it i!5 only as we are made righteous and pure and holy through the precious blood of God's Son that we can enter into this life of holiness and righteousne!5s in the 5011. It is the righteou!5ness of our Lord Himself made real ill us as our faith is stayed in !lim.

After j \\<15 haptized with the Holy Ghost the Lord gave me a blessed revelation. J s:tw Adam and Eve turned out of the garden for the ir disobedience and unable to partake of the tree of life, for the cherubim with Qaming sword kept them away from this tree. \Vhen ] was baptized I saw that I had begun to eat of this tree of li fe and 1 saw that the flaming sword was a ll round about, It was there to keep the devil away. Oh, what privileges are ours when we are born of God. How marvel ously He keeps us so that the wicked one touches us not. I sec a place in God where Satan dare not come. Hidden in God. And lIe invites us all to come and share this wonderful hidden place where our lives are hid with Christ in God, 'Where we dwell in the secret place of the Most High and abide under the shadow of the Almighty. God has this place for you in this blessed realm of grace.

Peter goes on to say, "According as His divine power hath gi"cn unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him that hath called us to glory and virtue." God is calling us to this realm of glory and "irtue where, as we feed on His exceeding great and precions promises, we are made partakcrs of the di"ine nature. Faith is the substance of things hoped for right here in this life. It is right here that God would have us par­take ot His divine nature. Tt is nothing less than the life of the Lord Himself imparted and flowing into our whole beings, so that our very body is quickened, so that every ti ssue and every drop of blood and our bones and joints and marrow receivc this divine lifc. 1 believe that the Lord wants this divine life to flow right into our natural bodies, this law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus that makes us free from the law of s in and death. God wants to establish Our faith so that we will lay hold on this divine life, this divine natu re of the Son of God, so that our spirit and soul and body will be sanctified wholly and preserved unto the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.

\1Vhen that woman was healed of the issue of blood, J eSllS percei\'cd that power had gone out of Him. T he woman's faith laid hold a nd this power was illl ~ parted and immediately the woman's being was sur­charged with life and her wcak ness departed. The impartation of t his power produces e\'erything YOll need; but it comes on ly as ou r faith moves out for its impartation. Faith is the victory. If tholl canst believe, it is thine. .

I !luffcred for many years from piles, till Ill)' whole

hody was thoroughly weak; the \lIonel u~cd to gush from me. OUI: day I got d(.'~pl:ratc and I took a bot­tic..' flf oil and anointed Illv,>cli. I <;;31d to the Lord. "1)0 "hat you want to, quil'kly." I wa:-. hc:altd at that very momcnt. God wants us to h;1\ c an activity oj faith that dares to believe God. Therc is what ~ecms like ,faith, an appearance of faith, hut real faith belie\'es God right to the end.

\Vhat was 'the difference ht.'tween Za(hana~ and "{ary? The angel came to Zacharia~ and told him, "Thy wife Elizabeth shall bear thee a son." Zal'ha­rias was there in the holy place, but he began to question this mcssage, saying, "I am :\11 old man, my wife is well stricken in years." Gahriel n'bl1ked him ior his unbelief and told him, "Thou shalt be dumo, and not able to speak, until the day that these things shall be performed, because thou believest not my words." Rllt note the contrast whc..'1\ thc angel came to Mary. She said, "Behold the handmaid of the Lord he it unto me according to thy word," :\nd Eliza heth greeted Mary with the words, "Blessc..'d is she that bc1ieYNI: for there shall he a perf(lrlllanCe ui those things which were told her ftom the Lord." God would have us to lay hold on 11is word in like manner. He would ha\"c~ liS to cmne with boldnc!5s of faith declaring, "You havc promiscd it, Lord. Now do it." God rejoices when we manifest a faith that holds Him to His word. Can we get there?

The Lord has called us to this glory and ,·irlue: and, as our faith lays hold on 'lim, we shall see this in manifestation. I remember o ne day I was holding an open-air meeting. My uncle came to that meet­ing and said, "Aunt Mary would like to sec Smith before she dies." I went to sec her and she waS assuredly dying. I said. "Lord, can't YOIt do some­thing?" All 1 did was this, to stretch out my hands a1ld lay them on her. It seemed as though there was an immediate impartation of the glory and virtue of the Lord. Aunt Mary cried. "It is going all over my hody." And that day she was made perfectly wholt:.

One day I was preaching .1:''1(1 a man brought a boy who was done up in bandages. The boy was in irons and it was impossible for him t o walk and it was difficult for them to get him to the platform. They passed him over about s ix seats. The power of the Lord was present t o heal and it entered right into the child as I placed my hands on him. The child rried. "Daddy, it is going all over mc." They stripped the boy and found nothing imperfect in him.

The Lord ,\·Otild ha"e us to be walking epistles of ITis \\'ord. Jesus is the \oVonl and is the power in us, and it is lli s dcsire to work in and through U!:l llis own good pleasure. \Vc must believe that He is in us. There arc boundless possihil ities for us if we dare to act in God and dare to believe that the wonderful vir tue of our living Christ shall be made manifest through us as we lay our hand s on the sick in Hi s name.

The exceeding great and precious prom ises of the \OVord are given to us that we might be partakers of the di\·ine nature. I feel the Holy Ghost is grieved with us because, when we knoll; these things, we do not do greater exploits for God. Do('s not the IToly Ghost show liS wide-open door!; ()of opportunity? Shall we not let God take us on to greater things ? Shall we 110t believe God to take liS on to greater manifestations of I-lis power? JTis call for us is to forget the things that are behind, and reach forth unto the things which are before and t o press to­ward the mark for the prize of the high calling of (;od in Christ J ('sus.

THE SNARE OF A SPECIOUS HUMILITY

It is generally admitted that humility IS the Christian's cardinal virtue. The Bible is unequivoca l on this point, and one inspired writer affirms the truth that humility is even before honor. The leaching and example of our Lord ) e­SU,i Christ are emphatic in this direct ion, an d the apostolic writers do not shri nk from declaring the same truth. ft is catura!, therefore, tha t in the e nlightened Christian consciousness there should be a great value attached to the quest of this grace, And yet there is probably no vir­tue which can .. 0 easily be imitated, and which ca n so readily lend it self to the :lbuse of affectation. The whole diffi­culty with so many apparently humble people is that thcy are aware of their meekness; and such self-consciousness practically destroys what hl1mility they may actually possess, 'vVe have to be on our guard, therefore, lest in our earn· est desire to possess the bcst gifts we do not vitiate the charm of humilit\' bv :\ deadening, subtle, and ~emi-;;pi;itu~1 pride.

I It has been obse rved that in the de­

portment of many professcdly humble people there has crept ill a curiolls af­fectation. Sometimes it is the affecta­tion of man ner, sometimes the affecta­tion of language, sometimes the affecta­tion of tone, It ha s a lso bcen observed that very frequently speech whicil has to do with religious matters ha s a dif­ferent accent to t hat which characterizes the homely speech of everyday life. It may be, of course, t he almost uncon­scious desire to be as g ood as our words are sweet, but the perils of affecta tion are very con si derable. however we view the situation ,

J ohn son defined a lie as th at which is intended to dece ive; we do 110t suggest for a moment that the affected life in­tends to d ecei\'c : the awkward fact i!' tha t somehow it docs dec eive, Verv often we indulge in exalted lan,'{ua gc when our actual ex perie nce i!' common­place and meager enough in all con­science ; V('ry often the hon eyed words of our tongue are sharply co..nt l'adicted by our heart of pride, It ,,·ottld be a wise and sens ihl e thing, in consequence, if \I'e paid a little more attention to our !'pcech. L et us pull ourselves up sharp­ly at times, an d ill(Juire whe ther the word .. 've arc tittering are the honest expres­s ions of an ordered life.

J ohn Mason Neale, in a sea rching mes­sage on "Sins of the Tongue," tell s this si mple s tory: "There was once a holy mjln nam ed Pambo, who serveQ our Lord With prayer and fasting, dwelling by him­self ill th e wilderness for seven ty years, \Vhen he fir st began this life, he wen t to a " ery aged servant of God and in ­(jtlired how he ought to live.

ON TOUR IN INDIA AND CEYLON Brothel" W. H. Clifford writes of an

('\"3nJ.::e11'>tic lour in which the bles,,;ng of 11Il' l,orr! wa~ mar\"clou"lv ,.alliiest 'I.t',n·in'! IWllle ahout midnight, we start· cd ff,r Sf)uth India and Ct"\"lon. ,\ftu 3 \l11';I~al1t raih\-ay journey we'r<.-ached our de~tillalioll. Bans;:-aiore, where we held our fir~t ~cf\'icc in the Iwnw of Brother and Si,h'r 'bhaITey, ,;\ numbt'f were prayed for and !i(.'\·cral hack~liders came back to God, The evening service was held at the ,,<inll' place anti about thirty were anoinll'd and pra}~'d for \VI: next went to Salun \\here we found that manl \\'ere ~ct:king ior Ihe Bapli~m of the Iioly SpiriL and wc had hlessed fellowship to· gel her.

"In TUlicurin ,ye met Ihe dear iri~'llds whu, IIlHkr (;0<1, haH made it pos!>iblc for th tn \,tk(' Ihis tour. On Sunday morning, we had lht, joy' 01 giving the message to Ihe Tall1il l'Imgrl'gation of the ~tcthodi5t Church, and Ihe Indian pastor ,"cry kindly int('rpretnl for 11Ie. At night a Divine I fealing ~ef\'ice was held in one of the ~ch(>ol~, and a ,'ast crowd assemhled in ~pi\(' of Ihe pouring rain. \Vhen we gave till' altar call, a number came forward ~('cking pcace and pardon through th.e blood of Jesus. \Vhen we gave thc in· \·ilalion for the sick to COl11e, it seemcd a<; though the whole crowd in the building wall It'd 10 be prayed for and we ,"oIHlered whclllt'r the whole of Tuticorin were sick. I do not know h(J\\- many were prayed for, but Ihe doctor hcr{' think'i nOI less thau a Ihollsand, \Ve were very lired when it \\<lS O\U, as il was the biggest crowd that Wl' had e \'cr attempted to pray for.

"On Tuesday we had allothe. busy day. In thc afternoon. five men and onc woman suIT ering from fits came who had walked seven miles in sea rch oi thc meetings. \\' e praycil for thcm aile by one, and we hcli('ve Ihat some, if not all of them. were delivered from the power of the dcvil. At niAht we <;tarte<\ meeting in the ;\;[unicipal {.irls' School. and il was packed. crowd!\. ~tallding at tile doors and windows. \Vell o\"er a thousand were present. Seve.al Icstifietl to healing from levee, lumbago, a~thma and other trOllhle~. A number weft' sin'cd and hundreds camc bringing their families to bc praycd for that the bles~ing of the Lord might be upon them. :'\e\'cr in all my life have I seen such de­termination among such great crowds to get till' blessing of the Lord . It is a strange lact that the doctors support and help 11<; in this work, and that the church, for Ihe most part, who ought to support and carry OUI this wo.k according to the divine command, work against and put ob· staclcs in the ,,-ar of such meetings being hcld.

"Aller bi(hling farewell to the kind friends at Tuticorin, wc went on board the la unch which was to take us out to the ship for Colombo. \\·c were met at Colombo by frit'll(is who ,'ery kindly entertained us dueing Ollr stay there, The first public l\leetil1g was held in the Jampettah Church, which was fdled. In this place also God blessed in a wonderful way. A sp{'(.:ia l service was held for serious cases and for those who could not get to a night sen·ice. One of the most touching oi thc~e cases wa~ that of a Hindu woman

who I~ad been brouJ,::ht by a Buddhist boy. The hoy had attended tne ea rl ie r services for healing, and had decided that he would fo llow Christ, though at first he had been reluctant to do so. This boy got some other boys, and thty put this woman in ;1 chair and carried her to the meeting. \\'hell we looked at her, we thought, 'From Itt-'f appear.lllCC this woman is not i .. r irom the gra,'c' On inquiring about h('r we iound that she had not been able to ('at solid food for eiJ,::ht months. \Vc I)r .. yl.:(\ for her, and two days later the following tC~ll!nonr \,as given, 'After be· ing: prand for, tht· bon carried her away lowards her home, but JUSt beforc she got Ihlie she told them to PUt her dowl1 as ~hl' wanled to walk the rest of the way. So they put hcr down and she walked hOIl1(, and aft('r\\'ard~ ate rice and re­tained it and was gcttinR on all right.' All prai~t, to j ee;lh!

"Lcaving Colombo \\C went to jaffna, \\here we prayed for about two hundred and fi ft y :;ick ones. A number were heal­('d ami others helped It was a remark­able time for deaf and dumb children. Several were delivered. A young woman, cleaf, dumb. and lame, \\'a~ carried into the meeting. The ('vi'l e;pitits were re­huked in the name of the Lord and com­mamled to come out, and wc had the joy oi kno\\-ing that she hearti , and she spoke the precious name of Jesus, and took a ft·w faltering steps,

"During our tour of about one-months duration, we traveled severa! thousand miles, vi~ited twelve places and held thir­ty-aile meelings. Numbers were saved, backsliders were reclaimed. and many were healed. All praise to th e Lord je­~us Christ who so wonderfu lly proved that lie is Ihe g real 'I A~(' today."

PENTECOST IN SYRIA From Miss Yumna G. Mali ck of Syria

('a mes this report: I am glad my first report of Ihe work

to you carries with it a note of victory in J es us' name, 'Though ri sing out of the mid st of a holy fight, and from surround­ing clements which oppose and ridicule the Spirit of Pentecost. our God is march­ing on, I can sal', His \Vorcl is being sown broadcast, being backed by Hi s promse, "It shall not return unto Me yoid." The Sunday school children arc " loring it rapidly in their little heart e;. a­long with many llihle storics. 'The older folk are bound to form and ritualism and find it hard to break away , ('\'en af­ter they arc convinccd of the t tllth.
