WHO WILL WIN THE VICTORY? (Contributed.) Editor Times: Lot us see who ias tho strongest army? I was going to say, the largest, but that does not matter. Who has the strongest does that matter? Suppose a captain has a etandlng army of giants, powerful with strength, can he hopo for the victory if they are not faithful? If they turn traitor to him, are they worthy of a victory? How can they be faithful except they have courage How can they be courageous without faith? If they have no faith in their captain's ability to manage the battle, , -will they not turn traitors? The bat tle is on. God has heard and heed ed the cry of his people to deliver Marshfleld the souls of Marshfield from the hold of the devil. How does the battle stand? How are we ac cepting His manifestation that He has heard and heeded our prayers? Has He not heard and heeded our prayer and granted aid in that He has caused to be erected In Marsh Held through His own, a tabernacle a fort for His people and sent to cry out the anguish in His heart for the slnnuer and light the devil with the sword of the Lord, which is the word of God? What part have we, His people, in the battle. Shall we stand back In awe and surprise at the way the Spirit of God is moved to work out the battle? Or with folded hands say: "He has sent the man with power; let him do the work." Lazy hearts like lazy bees, de serve no honey. I play a piece of music without success. Why? There -was discord, not harmony. Why? "Let me see, what is the matter. There are four parts In music. There is al to, tenor, bass and soprano. I play the soprano notes alone, perfectly, and there is no lnharmoiiy; also the alto, alone, without discord; then the bass, and without discord; but -when I play the whole together, there Is discord. Why? Because the al to and bass were not arranged to plav In harmony with the soprano and tenor. The piece Is a failure. It cannot win tho reward, no matter how well played. It was tried but found Incompetent. Marshfleld Is be ing tried; there Is discord. Why? Would God wrong us by sending a man. without power, with God and man? Can you charge God with ' this? Dare you do it? He says "Touch not my annointed and bring not my prophets to harm." But though Ho says touch touch His an nointed with the linger of criticism, and bring His prophet to harm? Have you read of Moses, how God made lilm leader of His people; how Mose-3 spoke with God face to fnce, and gave to Him the ten commandments written with tho linger of God; how, when ho (Moses) became angry at tho backsliding of his people and broko tho tabs of stone on which God had written the Ten Command ments, God understood and was not juigry with him, but in His patience and anguish tor Ills people called 10. So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron and Hur went up to the top of the hill. "And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed. And when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. 12. But Moses' hands were heavy: and they took a stone, and put it un der him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, tho one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. 13. And Joshua, discomfited Ama lek and his people with the edge of tho sword. 14. And the Lord said unto Mo ses, .write this for a memorial in a book, and rehearse It in the ears of Joshua, for I will utterly put out the remembrance of Amalek from under Heaven. 15. And Moses built an altar and ailed- the name of it Jehovanissi: 16. For he said, because the Lord hath sworn that the Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation. (Ex. 17.) And what the Lord says is true. God cannot lie, and He will fulfill His vows. And He has warred against the people that fought against His GAL TWO AVIIO WIL WIN . . people from "generation to genera tion," unto this generation, and unto this day of March, 1910.' The battle of the Lord is on here at Marshfleld. The victory is Christ's if we do our part. You who would follow Jesus are you lighting faithful ly the evil that Is attacking you, or are you trying to pull down the pro phet's hands. You christians, are you holding up the prophet's hands? Or are you failing in your part, or are you the' sister and brother that is speaking against your brother, who the Lord has chosen to lead the peo ple out of the darkness of Egypt (sin) Into the light of His promised land (salvation). If you read the 12th chapter of Numbers you will know how the Lord punished Miriam and Aaron, the sister and brother of Moses, the prophet of the Lord. He will also punish you for speak ing against His prophet of this day. If you are not called to fight you can help hold up the prophet's hands by words of faith. You can say: "Shannon speaks the truth," you can not deny that. Even the most preju diced. You can say: "God has taken the victory through Shannon In other places,, (no one can deny it) can He not do in Marshfleld what He has done elsewhere?" Is your faith so small and your fear of the people that strive against God and the right of Ills people so great that you cannot say this much? God's word says: "If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small." People are judging God's power by you. If you are a chris tian tho world expects you to mani fest Chrlst'spower in you. He had all power over His adversaries and our adversaries if you keep close to Christ by obeying His command-j meats, and He says this: "I com mand you that ye love one another." His word sas: "Love speaketh no 111, Is not puffed up." Are you keep ing this commandment of Christ's and do you love the Master, your Sa vior? He sas if "ye love me keep my commandments," and He says: "He that keepeth my words shall be loved Closes to make ready other tablets of of my lather and wo will come unto stone and come in His secret placo him and manifest ourselves uuto with thorn, and He rewrote the Ten him." Christian brothers and sls Conunandments. (God has great pa-j tors, how much are you willing to tiniu'o with the instruments in His give up that God and Christ might bonds and great probation for them.) manifest themselves unto you? Are Moses had a sister and brother, Ml- you willing to give up your own in riatn and Aaion, and they spoke dividual ideas and accept God's Ideas; sigainst Moses, (In the Book of Num- are you willing to give up prejudice; the name of Christ here, where then will you stand? And if you have not fought in this battle of the Lord's with the shield of faith and the sword of His word, know you that Ho says" if I give you to speak unto a soul' that it turn from Its sins, and ye speak and he turn not then will I relense you and require his soul at your hand." It may not seem just to you to give up your soul's place with God in heaven to tho soul required at your hand, but God is Just. If man cannot give back a life he has taken, how can he give back a soul he has let die as you would let a plant die for the want of care. Souls are precious. The Son of God bought them with His blood.. God will require and "there are three things that bear wit ness in earth: the spirit, and the wa ter, and tho blood, and these three agree In one." "Quence not the spirit." "Touch not mino annointed and bring not my prophets to harm." "He that soweth not with me scat- tereth abroad." Who is on the Lord's side? You? Are you ready for the battle? Chris tians, have you put on the whole ar- mor ot uoq: ii so, .uarsuuem m be taken for Christ. Christ will win the victory through those who cared. How much do you care? Pepple of Marshfleld, what are you going to do? Wait until the vessels of water are turned Into wi-.e and the prophet is withdrawn from you to aris and rend your garments and say, "There has been a prophet among us and we have not known It." You say you can't accept Mr. Shan non's language. I say to you. he speaks in the language of those he seeks to sae, and in the spirit of Him who saves. If the language is contrary to the spirit, it should open your ejes io see how contrary your life is to the life of Christ. I have talked n.tli people who need Christ, In rented language, and they said: "I talk English I talk Swedish, or I talk French with you, but you do not tails all English, what you say?" I n swered, " I am talking English v.'ih you." But he shook his head .ind said, "that's no English I ever heard." Also, I've been told, "you get down to talking United States with me and I can understand what you say. I don't understand you; those words I don't know." To reach the Swe dish people you must talk In te Swedish language; to reach tho Frp""'i, in the French language, the Hollander, in tho Holland language; and Mr. Shannon, in order to re u-h the buniF (who need to be made whole) often uses the "bum's" lan guage. I asked a boy once why he didn't resist temptation. He" said "what are you talking about?" I said, "why don't you 'cut out' those rought wavs." Then he said" Awn!" He understood. W. R CROCKER.
