THE K I N G ’ S BUSINESS a path in the sea or feed two thousand men with five loaves and two fishes. These bandits belong to a gang who have conspired to steal the faith of people in the inspired Word of God. They are the worst robbers in the world; soul snatchers; they work in the dark. They have a skeleton key and enter the room of a man’s soul and lawlessly, ruthlessly, wantonly, heart lessly rob him of his faith. Who stole the $25,000.00 stole trash, but whoso ever steals one soul and puts it in the hands of the devil for safe keeping is the enemy of God and man. Cry aloud, “ Stop, thief!” T. C. H. A PREMILLENNIAL Metkodist Ckurck The First Methodist Church of Mt. Vernon, N. Y., is a real Methodist Church. Dr. O. F. Bartholomew is the pastor and has been for sixteen years. This church has moved five times, and left five self-supporting churches, and the first church has now seventeen hundred members. Dr. Bartholomew believes in the Bible as the Word of God, and is a premillen- arian and is not afraid to preach that doctrine.

But there is no necessity for making such a sup position. How knowest thou that He will delay? Perhaps He will appear as the day spring from on high before the morning light. O do not set Him a time; expect Him every hour! Now He is nigh! even at the door.” Now, beloved brethren of the Methodist Church, please do not be angry with us. We are only seeking to vindicate dear old “ Saint” John Wesley. T. C. H. C lean c u t Witnessing for Christ is not trench warfare. Those who intend to stand for Him in these days, must stand out in the open. It is related that Schram the landscape painter, was engaged in sketching in a field when an old farmer drove up with his team. The horses could not make out what the artist was and began to rise up on their hind legs. The farmer called out excitedly to the artist, “ Durn ye, stand up and let my critters see what ye are.” The pastor of the Atlantic Avenue Baptist Church, Rochester, New York, must be a man who believes in standing up and letting the world know what he stands for. A large display advertisement in a Rochester newspaper is headed “ What this Church Stands for,” and continues, “ If
