Church of the Nazarene Celebrates
Golden Anniversary This Week End
Br LOU CASSELS
United Prt International
An often - misunderstood
f religious denomination is cele-
V brating its golden anniversary
this week end with special
V services in its 5,000 member
churches across the 'United
States and Canada.
r This denomination, which
. is growing more like an ado
lescent than a 50-year-old, is
the Church of the Nazarne.
' Jt is one of the largest of the
distinctively - American Prot
. estant groups known as "holi-
ness" churches.
The holiness movement de-
veloped in the United States
: in the late 19th Century.
Most of its adherents came
from Methodist or Baptist
" backgrounds. Their common
1 bond was John Wesley's doc-
trine of "entire sanctification"
f -the belief that God achieves,
I through the gift of the Holy
) Spirit, such a purifying of the
hearts and motives of conse-
crated Christians that they are
I freed from their natural hu
! man inclination toward sin
i and are rendered capable of
I perfect holiness in this life.
Two Bodies Formed
Bv the early part of the
r present century, the holiness
- movement had divided into
two distinct streams. One pro
" duced the numerous sects and
denominations which are
fc known today as the "pente
" costal" bodies. They place
'" great emphasis on the visible
signs such as "speaking in
tongues" which the New
r Testament records as having
- accompanied the gift of the
' 3My Spirit to the original
apostles on the Day of Pente
cost. v ' The other branch of the
holiness movement is typified
by the Church of the Naza
;?rene. It does not practice
"speaking in tongues" or oth
er outward manifestations of
religious ecstasy. One visit to
J sedate Nazarene service is
; enough to cure an outsider of
!any notion that all holiness
churches indulge in "holy
'"roller" worship.
,. Nazarenes are almost as
austere as old-time Quakers
in their personal habits. The
rules of the church forbid
drinking, smoking, attendance
J at movies or plays, immodesty
t in dress or behavior, and any
type of frivolity (even read
ying the newspapers) on Sun
i day.
5 But for all the strictness of
their discipline, they do not
' seem to feel that holiness is
burdensome. One is impressed
in reading Nazarene literature
by its constant emphasis on
religions as a joyous experi-
ence.
; Minister Gives Insight
A Presbyterian minister
who has had occasion to
know many Nazarenes had
I this to say about them:

"Most "church members
want just enough religion to
make them respectable, but
never enough to make them
uncomfortable. The Nazar
enes want all they can get."
Nazarenes attach great im
portance to personal evangel
ism, or "witnessing." They are
also great givers. The church
teaches the principle of tith
ing, and it is evident that a
