Pen ne'er can trace Thus came to earth How glorious was the rank of honor bright The One whose slighted wish was good as law Which Christ possessed in heaven's regal light- To ministering spirits, who in awe A ruler with the Father on his throne, Beheld in him their Maker and their King, With Paraclete, the rightful lords alone Whose praise angelic voices ever sing. Of all the universe's vast domain, He came in poverty and lowliness, A splendid monarch in a peaceful reign To make us rich and great in righteousness For ceaseless ages vast ere e'en the earth The pains of Calvary in love he bore, Was shaped, or Satan, cruel, sly, gave birth To give us perfect freedom evermore; To lies which cursed the human race. His death won life through Spirit birth. And yet we know The Christ who taught That in a manger, low, of comfort bare, These lessons great of love and fortitude, Was born into the world the destined heir Now claims from us, beside our gratitude, Of sorrow, suffering, and shameful death, The service of our hearts and lives for men, A wondrous holy One, whose every breath To rescue them from sin and shame, and then Was heavy with the fragrance of that love With them, his happy children, filled with praise, Which flows in streams unceasing up above, To glorify our God through endless days; The willing sacrifice unto his Father's will, And bids us follow him and leave behind Whose blood the sons of men could dare to spill The things of earth, eternal wealth to find, Christ Jesus, humbled here below. Which his great love has for us bought. —' : ' ! ; 10 WORKERS TOGETHER WITH HIM.

And vow allegiance to the King of kings, brethren, let us live so in that day And Lord of lords, whose mercy brings T'he glorious Lord may turn to us and say, The richest jewels of his wondrous grace, "Well done, thou good and truly faithful man, And crowns and raises them to princely place, Come enter joys prepared ere time began, If needed chastisement they bear.

  • Birth of a Reformation Or the Life and Labors Of Daniel S
    Birth of a Reformation or The Life and Labors of Daniel S. Warner By A. L. Byers “It shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.” )$,7+38%/,6+,1*+286( 'LJLWDOO\3XEOLVKHGE\ 7+(*263(/7587+ ZZZFKXUFKRIJRGHYHQLQJOLJKWFRP To the Generations Following Publisher’s Preface Year 1966 This volume, a reprint of the book originally published in 1921 and out of print for many years, is in response to a long felt need that this biography of D. S. Warner, along with a brief mention of a few of his associate ministers and Gospel workers, should be available to the readers of the present generation and those to follow, should the Lord extend time. The original book is herewith reproduced without al- teration or change, except a very few minor omissions, and accounts of events and conditions existing after the period of Bro. Warner’s life. The reader should bear in mind that Bro. Warner’s com- ing out of sectism was a gradual process over a period of time leading to the climactic step, and any improper or questionable action on his part while involved in sects was merely a result of his lack of clear light and understanding of God’s Word. After the light broke through, he himself renounced these practices. In 1878 D. S. Warner wrote: “The Lord...gave me a new commission to join holiness and all truth together and build up the apostolic church of the living God.” Bro. Warner and his associates, discerning the impos- sibility of the true church existing within the framework of denominationalism, declared their freedom from the “sin of sectism and division” and instituted the “evening light” restoration movement in the latter part of the nine- teenth century in direct fulfillment of Bible prophecy.

  • Abstract Religious Publishing and Print on Demand
    ABSTRACT RELIGIOUS PUBLISHING AND PRINT ON DEMAND: A COMPARISON OF WARNER PRESS WITH REPRESENTATIVE RELIGIOUS PUBLISHERS BETWEEN 1980-2005 by Steven V. Williams This research project examined the changes within religious publishing brought about by the introduction of on-demand printing. I reviewed the example of Warner Press, publishing house of the Church of God (Anderson) between 1980-2005, noted the challenges, and analyzed the changes. The preaching-publishing ministry of Daniel S. Warner created a church body identified as the Church of God (Anderson) and a publishing house known as the Gospel Trumpet Company (later Warner Press, Inc.). Warner’s preaching and publishing collected a rapidly expanding fellowship of gospel workers, evangelistic companies known as “flying messengers” and supportive adherents. Warner’s periodical, the Gospel Trumpet, shaped and nurtured the body of believers and guided their strategies for advance. Warner’s infant publishing ministry evolved into a major publishing house that promoted Warner’s principles of reform. That publishing effort greatly assisted Warner’s followers in spreading their message of holiness and unity. During the years of 1980 to 2005, Warner Press underwent drastic changes. These changes downsized the company from a major manufacturer and supplier of religious literature to a company without equipment, fewer employees, and a reduced product line. My research began with a historical study of Church of God literature. Further research examined how the Church used the press in fulfilling its biblical mandate to evangelize. My research then included three tours and interviews of successful on- demand printers. Their methods and processes are outlined in this study.

  • A. T. Pierson Biography
    www.WholesomeWords.org edition 2012 Arthur T. Pierson: A Sketch of his Life and Work by J. Kennedy Maclean Contents Chapter 1 Early Years and Ministry Chapter 2 At the Metropolitan Tabernacle Chapter 3 The Work of Later Years Chapter 4 Dr. Pierson's Keswick Ministry Chapter 5 The Art of Illustration Chapter 6 Characteristics of a Great Life Chapter 1—Early Years and Ministry ARTHUR TAPPAN PIERSON was one of God's choicest gifts to the Church of Christ during the latter part of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth. He was a preacher by nature as well as by training. One would just as soon have expected the lark to cease from singing its joyous song amid the spacious heights as to think that Dr. Pierson could live without preaching. Like the ancient prophets who came straight from communion with God to declare the words He had given them to utter, he stood up with all the majesty of the Divine messenger, and, without faltering or apology, made known the whole truth as it is contained in the revealed Word of God. As we knew him in later years, there was something stern and severe in the appearance and manner of the tall, lithe figure, but behind the seemingly forbidding exterior there beat a heart of pity and love for those who were estranged from God and whom he was ever seeking to win back to the Father's fold. If he was severe in his denunciation of sin, his heart bled for the sinner.
