PACIFIC CHRISTIAN MESSENGER. SATURDAY, AUG. 17. 1878.
HEADQUARTERS
*' There is a crown, a dazzling crown,
Bedecked with jewels faire.
And priests and kings of hjfch renown
That crown of glory wtfar."
Pres. M. The word cross in holy
writ is intimately connected with the
word crown. Neither are literal-
In the Christian’s life the cross is
typical of self-denial, And of suffering.
The Christian must denv himself of
whatever in passion stands in the way
■of duty* He must undergo trial and
persecution. The term crown I un­
derstand to imply riches and glory
and honor and power.. Not the honor
■of an hour or a day, but honor that
when ages upon ages have passed
away, shall still shine forth with
resplendent glory. When there shall
have been a new heaven and a new
earth, we shall then be heirs of this
mighty universe by virtue of being
joint heirs with the Lord Jesus
Christ.
Sister M. asked that we sing
41 You palaces, scepters, and crowns,
Y«ur pride with disdain I survey.
Your pomps are but shadows and sounds,
And pass in a moment away.
The crown that my Savior bestows
ou permanent sun shall outshine ;
’erlastingly flows,
My GocT:my Redeemer, js mine.”
Sister M. B. read ; “ The four and
twenty elders fall down Wore him
that sat on the throne, and worship
him that liveth for ever and ever, and
cast their Cfowns before the throne
saying, Thou art Worthy, O Lord, to
receive glory and honor and power;
for thou hast created all things, and
for thy pleasure they are and were
created.’’ Rev. iv. 10, 11.
Sister L. E. M. read : “ Fear none of
those things which thou shalt suffer;
behold, the devil shall cast some of
you into prison, that ye may be tried ;
and ye shall have tribulation ten
days : Te thou faithful unto death, and
I will give thee a cfown of life.” Rev.
ii. 10.
Eld. J. F. said he once hedrd a
noted divine say he did not think
that all who went to heaven would
wear a crown. As proof that they
should be referred to the eighth verse
of the lesson read, where Paul says,
" Henceforth there is laid up for me
a crown of righteousness which the
Lord the righteous judge, shall give
me at that day ; and not to me only,
but unto all them also that love his
appearing.” I believe, said he,1 that
we shall not all wear crowns of the
same glory, but^that every maffTihall
be rewarded according to his deeds.
Prayer by Bro. F.
Singing:
■“ I'll bear the consecrated orose,
Till from the cross I’m free ;
And then go home to wear the crown,
For there's a crown for me.”
Bro. J. A. said: Brethren, I am
glad to be with you once more, I
think we shall all wear a crown when
we leave this earth for the courts of
glory. Some people imagine that
there are degrees in heaven, but I do
not believe in graduations iipElyaium
noi in Hades. When I’have finished
my labors here I hope to wear figura­
tively the crown of life.
Singing:
" A sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me o'er and o’er ;
I’m nearer to my home to-day
Than e’er I’ve been before.
Nearer the bonnd of life
Where falls my burdan down ;
Nearer to wLere I leave my cross
And where I gain my crown.”
Sister H. read Rev. iv. 10, 11.
Singing “ Since I can read my title
clear.”
- Bro. Shane closed by saying, John
the Revelator said: “ Behold 1 come
quickly, hold that fast which thou
hast, that no man take thy crown.
Him tliat overoometh will I make a
pillar in the temple of my God, and
he shall go no more out." But there
are some here to-night who have
never professed the religion of Jesus.

Bro, Stanley:
In the M essenger of July Gth there
are queries by Mrs. M. M. Adams that
may be so understood as to do injus­
tice both to the elder and church at
Yoncalla. From it many would sup­
pose that the church was retaining an
elder that is now engaged in selling
intoxicating liquors. Such is not the
case. The facts are as follows : Many
years ago, in California, Bro. Adams,
the elder referred to, was chosen as
elder of a church in a mining district
In the lapse of time the church went
down by removals and otherwise.
After this Bro. Adams kept a hotel,
and, as was customary, kept liquor
for his customers. After this he re­
moved to where there was a church,
and of his choice made full acknowl-
elgement, and was received into the
church, and remainod a member of the
church until he came to this State.
These are the facts, as they have
been told me, as near as I can remem­
ber. 'Eight years ago last fall Bro.
Alams united with the church on the
Swale,'near Oakland, by lerter from
the church in California. Since that
time I have been intimately acquaint,
ed with Bro. Adams, and can say he
has been a faithful and energetic
laborer in the vineyard, willing to
teach and be taught. For several
years he has been acting as elder of
the church at Yoncolla, holding
regular meetings on every Lord’s day,
much of the time (assisted by the
members of the church); also has
once or twice filled my appointment
on the Swale when I waa absent. He
is always ready to do all he can in
