Double Stamps in All Depart ments Saturday SPEAKING WITH TONGUES Editor Courier: I have been freuqently asked of late regarding my views upon the "tongues" movement, now more or less active in the West. Most of the things I have been credited by the lo cal workers of the cult with saying I never said at all. Hence, that those who are interested may know just what I think of the whole business I shall attempt to clothe my ideas in a couple or three letters. Years ago I took upon myself the vow of ordination, and pledged my self to stand for the truth as the Lord showed it to me; and when lie calls me up yonder and says: "Have you fulfilled the trust I have imposed up on you?" I hope to be able to say: Dear Master, I have done the very 1 also is Christ." In verses 4 to 11 1 L T 1 1 1 ; i I . ueau i kiiuw now, ana u anyone wnom i no Has just shown how they are are a child of God you have the Spir it's baptism. (1) The body of Christ's real spiritual followers is called by various names in the Scriptures. It is called the "Church," the "Bride;" and in 1 Corinthians 12. "Body of Christ." None of these names mean the visible church organizations, but they always mean the body of Christ's true believers, whom He alone knows. Paul says to those who are converted at Corinth, "Now ye are the body of Christ, and several members there of" (verso 27.) Ho is not talking to a part of the Christians at Corinth who have a second "Baptism," but to all the saved. Now listen! "For as the body is one and hath many mem bers, and all the members of the body, being many, are one body; so I know goes astray it is not my fault but his own blindness." One of the enjoyable things in life is fellowship with Christian brethren. That fel lowship was especially sweet at Mountain View, where the divisions of Dcnominationulism were all for gotten, and all bodies met as children of one common Father. But division and heartache have broken up the peace of that community. I did not wonder when I heard the nature of the doctrines taught by tho newcom ers there. Everywhere tho tongues people have gone they have brought discord and division, and have set at naught tho Master's prayer recorded in John 17: "That they may all be one; even as Thou, Father, art in me and I in Thee, that they also may be in us." The fact that this movement always leads to bitterness, division, and strife is the first mark that it is not of God but of the Devil. WHAT DOES MARK SAY? 4 Not that "tongues would follow a special Spirit's baptism. Mark 16: 17. "And these signs shall accom pany them that believe." Healings, tongues, immunity to snakebite, etc. were to follow the converted, not the specially Spirit-baptized, and those who twist the promise into that mean ing are false teachers, as any care ful reader may see for himself. They were to follow the "believer" not the "baptized." TONGUES WERE TO AWAY BE DONE WHAT DOES THE BIBLE TEACH ABOUT TONGUES? 1 It no whoro says that tongues are tho sign of the baptism of the Spirit, or of fire. THE BAPTISM OK FIRE 2 Tho baptism of fire is aention ed in but two Scruptures; Matthew 3: 11-13, and Luke 3: 16-17. In both instances the whole passage Is in one sentence, hence the thought is all con nected. In both, John is represent ed as speaking first about the bap tism of the Spirit. Then he speaks of tho "Baptism of fire" as follows: "He shall baptize you in fire: whose fan is in His hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor; and he will gather his wheat into the garner, but tho chaff he will burn up with un quenchable fire." Anyone can see at a glance that the baptism of fire is not for the "wheat" but for the "chaff;" is not a blessing but is the last judgment, in . which no true Christian will ever have a part. many. One has wisdom, another has just shown how they are many. One has wisdom, another the word of knowledge, another power of healing, another the gift of tongues not all the same "gift," though, for the Spir it "Dividcth to each one severally as he will;" Verse 13; "For in one apostle passed away. Every apostle tfjurii, wuru wu an uajiuzcu nuo one body, whether eJws or Greeks, whether bond or free; and were all 5 The Apostolic office, prophecy, special knowledge obtained without study and tongues, were gifts given for a season, but which were to pass away. The Apostles were to be eye witnesses of the resurrection of Je sus. To qualify for an Apostle one had to see Jesus in the flesh before His death on the cross, and to have seen Him after His resurrection. When the last man died who had seen Jesus in the flesh, the last true since has been a false one. See Acts 1: 21-22. Moreover the Apostolic ofice was a "Gift." nsver n rhnrch miuio vo ctrniK ot one spirit." Wow officer (1 Cor. 14.) Love ig greater note in this passage that "all" were than tongues, because it is perma baptized with this bapitsm. It was llenti whiie tongues will cease.

The street committee was instruct ed to take up the matter of interur ban car stops within the city and arrange so that the trains when halt ed for passengers would not block the intersecting streets. Mayor Jones then fulfilled his pre election promises by having his dras tic anti-booze ordinance introduced. J This ordinance, prepared by . City Attorney Schuebel, makes the Shasta Limited a common nuisance, among other things; and its reading caused considerable merriment in the coun cil chamber. It contains all the pro visions of the statewide prohibition constitutional amendment, as well as the provisions enacted by the legisla ture, and then adds a few more for good measure. As far as drug stores go, it pro vides that no pharmacist or his clerk or hired hands may sell spiritous or malt liquors, and forbids the sale of ethyl alcohol, commonly known as grain alcohol, save in quantities of not more than two quarts in four weeks, and then only when the pur chaser has filled out a certificate that proclaims the intent for which the buyer wants it, names the place where he will use it, and contains additional room for the buyer to pro claim himself not addicted to drugs or liquor. After the recorder pro-tern, Mr. Noble, had read four pages of the ordinances, Mr. Templeton asked how much more there was of it. It developed that there were three pages more, and irl these three pages provision was made that any common carrier who transported liquor thru the streets of Oregon City save in certain specified forms and ways wos a common nuisance. This is where the Shasta Limited got hit. Penal ties for violations of any of the dras tic provisions of the ordinances are fines of from $25 to $300, imprison ment for from 10 to 90 days, or both fine and imprisonment. "If the state law covers all that ground why have that lengthy thing," asked Councilman Templeton. Mr. Schuebel explained that by du plicating the state 'aw as a city or dinance the city could get the fines for violations, instead of seeing them turned over to the state. Also the state law does not become effective until January 1, 1916 whereas the mayor's ordinance will become effect ive July 1 of this year if it is passed. Mr. Templeton thought the ordi nance ought to be ordered printed at the expense of the mayor; and Coun oilman Cox said that he hoped that when the Enterprise printed it there would not be room in the same issue for any editorials commenting upon the performances of the council. The ordinance passed first reading. Councilman Andrews brought out some interesting facts regarding the cost of crushed rock and road gravel when he told of a plan of a number of local fraternal organizations to join in the cemetery roadway. The council was asked to help in this, and the matter was left with the cemetery committee with power to act. The county has agreed to furnish crushed rock for this work at 85 cents a cubic yard, which is just about half the price charged by the Oregon Engin eering & Construction company under its open contract with the city. When this was discovered the cemetery com mittee announced that it would be a good plan to buy all crushed rock necessary for cemetery driveways from the county instead of from the contracting firm. Mr. Cox playfully suggested that the road be improved with Worswick pav'ng. City Treasurer Phillips gave the council food for thought in its clos ing minutes when he informed the city dnds that the city was paying interest on $90,000 worth of out standing improvement warrants, put ting up about $5,243 a year. On Bancroft-bonded assessments the city was paying $48 interest for every lot, he added. The council mulled over this for half an hour, and final ly instructed the city attorney and city engineer to se if they couldn't do something. This interest payment question comes up regularly about once a year but has never yet been satisfactorily dodged.

Charlie Chaplin ADDITIONAL LOCALS TONGUES NOT PENTECOST LIKE WHEN IS ONE BAPTIZED IN THE SPIRIT? 3 The baptism in the Spirit is not a second work, but comes at con version to every child of God. If you and is valueless without it. In Galntians 3: 26-27, Taul says: "Ye are all sons of God thru faith in Christ Jesus." He is talking to con verted people. "For as manv of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ," Again he is speaking of tho Spirit's baptism which comes to every man when he surrenders his will to Christ. Three names are ap plied to three sides or faces of the Spirit's work. Looking at the change in the man's own nature it iscallod re generation, "New Birth." Looking at his changed relation from tho world into the "Body of Christ" it is called the Spirit's baptism. Looking at tne assurance ot acceptance and the stamp of the Godlike nature that comes to the believer it is called the "Sealing of the Spirit." Ail three come at conversion, not as later works. more than modern tongues. No man went "Under the Power" at Pentecost, and rolled on the floor. No one heard people chattering gibberish unlike anything in heaven above, or earth beneath, or the waters under the earth; but the Tarthian heard one man man talking rarthian, the Mede another talking Mede, etc. Each one heard them speaking his own langu age (Acts 2:5-8). The marvel lay not in tho language, but in the fact that a band of Galilean fishermen suddenly were given the power to speak them. As much difference be tween the intellectual quickening of Pentecost nnd the craxy excitement of a modern "Pentecost" as there is between heaven and San Francisco.
