I FEEL impressed to bring before you, beloved brethren, the subject of rule, in the hope that a few words upon it may enable us to distinguish between clericalism and radicalism.

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

EVERYTHING of earth consigned to man, from the garden of Eden to the assembly, has failed. However brilliant and effective its beginning, it soon became tarnished; the bright gold became dim, until at length there was a little or no trace of the original order of things. Yet in every instance there ... Read More
"If Your Presence does not go with us--do not send us up from here!" Exodus 33:15 There is a word in the text which heads this page which demands the attention of all English Christians in this day.

Romans 1, 5. Deeply and justly prizing our Authorized Version, yet alterations are at times well suggested--as on this verse, which should rather be, "By whom we have received grace and apostleship to the obedience of faith among all nations."
