It looks like they will never b arn,
until tlify an* all killed out tlmt
they cannot stand before an Amer
ican army. It is believed that in
a battle a few days ago the Insur
gents lost 1,000 men.
Russia and Japan are preparing
for war. Just how lar tho nat ions
of tho cartji will bq involved in
these wars is hard to determine*
It is evident that a groat revolu
tion, is on, hut what will ho the
result is not known: The signs
however, point to tho final revolu
tion of the eastern nations and
the adoption of western civiliza
tion. China is just on the eve of
a universal revolution, and with
the high esteem which that nation
holds for this country, it would
not be suprising to some of us to
see China adopt American civiliza
tion very nearly without astruglo..
But with nil conquests for the
acquisition of territory, Africa
will be the bone of contention:
with its fields of diamonds and
mines of gold, its timber wealth
and millions of acres of fertile
soil will be sufficient reasons for
stronger nations to go in and
drive back the natives and take
posessiou of their lands. The
Anglo Saxon is destined to posess
and rule the world. Never, since
tho Saxonian conquest of Briton
in the early centuries, lias there
been a people able to stand before
them in battle. Higher and more
noble have been their ideas and
aims in all their struggles for re
ligious and politicals liberties.
Untiring are they and inspired by
success they go on making great
strides toward the unknown, un

Vital Christianity No. 8.
How can I know that I ajn
Chrisiun?
This question is asked by thous
ands and receives almost as many
different answers. One says you
cannot know, another you know
by your f iling*, and still another
i comparing your experience
with that of others, “Uncle John,
he saw n light and beam a voice
when In- come through, and Aunt
.limsey, she heard music and saw
signs in the sky, Brother Bill, .vhy
lie jist laid on the floor and rolled
for two or three days and when he
come through I tell ye, he come a
tollin’ it. J » Such testimony as
this is too often used to convince
one that he is or is not a 'Chris
tian. it is not what John, Bill
or Jimsy heard saw or felt, neither
is it what, you saw heard or felt,
however, what one believes deter
mines what lie feels. The word of
God must determine and by it
you are to know whether or not
you are a Christian, 1 his
tion is one of sutli vital impor
tance that it deserves a careful
and prayi’nl consideration. We
are of the opinion that if many
who profess to be Christians
would turn tlx* light of God’s
w'iU'd onto their evidences of
Christianity.they would be dumb
founded when they found that
t heir profession had been a decep
tion. An experience that w ill not
bear a bilde test should be aband
oned at .once. Thru, “To the
law and to tho testimony, what
saist, the scriptures? 1 1
1st? “Tile spirit* beard h wit
ness with our spirits that we are
the children of God.” Jlom. 8: 1(5.
A witn nilist bear toRtinSouy,
Wind testimony d< 10S tho spirt
bear? Tim Spirit’s testimony is
borne in conjunction with the
testimony borne by our own spir
its, the testimony must corrobor
ate therefore, before wo can rely
upon either, the one. having sus
tained tho other, we are assured
of the truth. Let us then exam
ine the first witness. How do we
expect the spirit to testify? By
the word as written in the scrip
ture, of course. First evidence
by spirit. 2nd What i# the
evidence you give of Vital Chris
innity? Ans. “My first evidence
is given in Rom. f>: I. Therefore
being justified bv faith, we have
peace with God." The point in
this testimony is “peace,” why,
peace! Because “There is no
peace to the wicked, saitli the
Lord.” So if a person once poss
esses real peace of mind and .con
science it is a sure evidence of
Christianity. “In tho world ye
have tribulations but in me ye
have peace.” John 1(f: 88. “My
peace 1 give unto you: not
as tho world giveth. give l unto
you.” Then this peace is some
thing difi’erent from the pence of
the world? Yes. the peace of the
World is momentary and only
satisfies the carnal mind and even
in the “joy, of this world, there
is heaviness,” but the peace r—
ceived in believing is perfect and
enduring.
Second witness, the spirit of
the believer. What do you say
is the first evidence of Christiani
ty? Answer. It is a peace that
produces a joy which is “Inox
pressable and full glory.” How
and when did this peace come
you? “Not until l had
trusted my self to the Lord being
willing with all my heart to do his
then somohqw,
was made
to I" y.<‘ siteli peace i never be
Juettiori. Did you
that peace, as a reward for yciir
tears or mounting'or promt to
( in better? Ans. “No, yet these
things were in me before I reefeiv
ed it. I liad tears on account of
my gins, mourned because I was in
darkness and promised to try to
do all I could to serve Him who
Imd done so much • for me, but
this peace came to me only when
1 had given myself entirely
Christ by faith, it wn when I fop.
the life of the Son of God being
enthused into my soul that this
peace came to me.”
First witness, the spirits. What
is the second evidence you give
vital Christianity? Ans. “A e
mission . . to satan to tost, the pro
fessed lomUy to Christ by the be
lievor, if that, faith is pure it can
not be shuken by temptation, if
not, it will yenld to the luroments
of the devil and that ,professed
faith will be made void. The real
faith, through which peace comes,
will glory in such temptation
tribulation because of the experi
tjnee it, gives to the believer.
6; 8-1. It leads a true believer
step by step, until he has
the stature of a full man in Christ
Jesus. “The hardness of the
the car ties ness of the
mind, the anxiety of the covetous
will render that profession
less and will show the
his mistake, that his professed con
version was not thorough.”
.Second witness, the spirit of the.
believer. What is the second evi*
dunce you bear in the case of vital*
Christianity? Ans. “The
testimony 1 give is, I was beset
every bund by temptation,.! >va„
sorely tried, tribulation of various
kinds wore thrown into my path
way, to doubt, to blaspheme, to
beli ’vu religion a farce and a
<*
forgery and a thousand one
other things came up for consider
ation. What effect, did all these
temptations have on you? “Why,
1 triumphed over them as a victor
triumpliea over a fallen foe. Hav
ing over come them I found my
self much stronger in my determi
nations to follow and obey the
Lord.”
First witness, the Spirit, What
is the third testimony you hear in
the case of vital Christianity?
Ans. “The second leads to the
third, thus, “Tribulations werk
eth experience, and experience,,
hope, and hope niaketh not
ashamed because tho love of God is
shed abroad in our hearts by
Holy Ghost which is given unto
us.” Rom. 6; 6. When this hope
springs up :u the believer, lie is no
more confused in his mind, but at
once confesses to the world that.
Jesus is the Christ, “For with the
heart man helioveth unto rlght
ousness, and with the mouth Con
fession is made unto
“Rom. 10; 10. “The conflict with
satan in temptation has learned
the bdliever to speak on (he be
half of the Lord, and so couple his
confession with .his salvation, n
Second witness, the sprit of the
believer. What is your- third tos
timony in this case? “My thru! is
my victory over temptation
such a glorious hope to spring
up in my soul, of being a final
victor that liiy words have been
many and strong in praise of Ilfm
who saved me by His grtiee. All

know my redeemer liveth.”

the fourth testimony you have to
bear in this ease? Ans. “ The love

y in this case, do not all

land i God's 1 ween love: t he The love world of the world loves

“Tin* character of the love is dif
