General Superintendent Vanderpool

Keen disappointment had conic into this m an’s life. Hope for a better day had vanished. I saw him sitting with his head bowed in a drunken stupor. He had tried to drown his sorrow with drink. A kindly word and a friendly hand finally brought him to the Saviour. W hat a change came over him! I saw him with head erect, shoulders back, and the light of a new hope shining in his eyes. He found a place of service in the church. He carried his cross with a song. He was loved and trusted by all who knew him. I saw him years later, still in death, a calm smile upon his noble face. 1 felt he had reached the land of eternal light. I thought, What a Saviour!! 1 saw another man frustrated and distracted amid his degrees and his abundance. Someone had robbed him of his faith in Christ and the Bible. Like a drowning man lie was grasping for something that would keep him above the waves of utter confusion. W hile we prayed earnestly together Christ was revealed anew to his heart. Rugged faith of former days returned. Joyful testi­ mony and ready service became a part of him. I saw him in a public service with his face all aglow as he gave an impassioned appeal for men to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. The expression on his face and the tone of his voice gave evidence of perfect peace and full assurance. W hat a change in the man since 1 first met him! Then I thought, W hat a Saviour!! 1 saw still another man—a good husband, a gentle father leading family prayer every morning, a faithful attendant at church services, and a man fairly generous with his money. He told me of inner conflicts which he had, of hot flashes of carnal anger when he wanted to be even-tempered. He told me of his timidity and lack of liberty to testify, also of his hurt pride with a tinge of embarrassment when his wife testified to being sanctified. I saw him after he had made a complete consecration of self, substance, and service to Christ. The Holy Spirit had come into his heart giving him an inner sense of cleansing. In his complete abandonment to the will of God he found a joyful testimony that the inner warfare was over. His victorious experience made me cry out again, What a Saviour!!

The Glorious Church: The Church Without Spot or Wrinkle

Some of the things about this glorious Church Her charter of salvation, are emphasized in that great hymn “The Church’s One Lord, one faith, one birth: One Foundation.” The first stanza sets forth the One holy name she blesses; truth that Jesus is the Church’s one Foundation. Partakes one holy food; The Church is built on Jesus Christ; He is its And to one hope she presses, Saviour and Head. With ev’ry grace endued.

Actually, they did do that; but when they had done it, the world was then "Anatrepo" (To turn in the position it was originally in—the position it should be in; because before that, and because upside down) of sin, it had been turned upside down, which Anatrepo is the English form of the Greek verb made it wrong side up. Now, after the gospel’s which literally means “to turn upside down.” Ac­ work, it was right side up, having been turned cording to one present-day authority, Plato used upside down again. this word when he was describing the “complex, This may seem a bit revolutionary in character, dynamic confusion which lies at the root of moral but that’s exactly what Christianity does. It is evil and sin.” Thus sin, for Plato, is due to an revolutionary. It does turn upside down that which upside-downness in one’s thinking, a confusion in is wrong side up; and again I say, then it is right one’s understanding. This means that, in spite of side up. O ur lives have been terribly marred and what some say, sin is caused by ignorance, for upset by sin, but through the precious blood of Plato. It is due to a lack of proper understanding; Jesus these same lives can be turned right side up - it is irrational; it is not a voluntary act. In other delivered from sin and given their original and words, it stems rather from the reason than from proper place in the world. Where sin did abound, the will. Socrates, Plato’s teacher, and the one grace much more abounds. Once the devil and his who laid the foundation for this doctrine, went power dominated; now Christ and His power reign about teaching the youth of his country. He felt supreme. There is power, yes, power in the blood that if he could enlighten them as to the truth, of Jesus, and through that power the whole world then they would do that which was right. Thus can take on a different character.
