.. DEEPER YET," .
John Wesley urged that the "further
blessing after one c_ame into the experi-
ence o:fl. Perfect Love is, more love. It
seems evident the vision of
Lord "high and lifted up" may become
more and more clear ; and the message
of "Holy, holy, holy" become still more
marvelous in its meaning and experi-
ence. After the lips are touched, with
fire, the accompanying words, '' Lo,
this hath touched t)ly lips; 11nd thine
iniquity is taken away and thy sin
purged''; there is still ' 'much land to
be possessed.' ' Tlie heart is to be en-
larged, the soul filled with increasing
intensity, and the streams of divine life .
bursting forth in the heart flowing out .
in transforming power and glory,
through all active life. The work of
entire sanctification, making holy, is in ,
the morning of a Christian's . assimila-
of the divine likeness, and real use-
fulness in divine service. Not but some-
thing is done by converted men between
the station of the. new birth and entire
. sanctification, but if a man is really
lfseful unto God during this - time the
period will be short ; as he, l>eing an
earnest servant of God, is passionately
seeking the full will of God, he is sure
to find Hiin in the way, and Cf)me to
know His cleansing; empowering
ing with the baptism with the .l'loly
Ghost. The disciples were used

With this blessing begins, largely,
the great privileges of divine life and

with J esus Christ in the Holy Ghost,
there is incr eased strength of hear t and
increased endowments of holy love, with
enlarged avenues for the unction
God. 'l'he transforming, or literally,
of onr being is made
ever more complete by and .the pouring
pf His life through all our intellectual

of God in and through us are thus ever

is _no vain prayer when we sing '''Deep-

The conclusions of logi c may be as re-
liable and true to a logical mind as the
direct impressions wrought hy the
Spirit upon one whose mind is unreli-

ten to i gnorant preachers and teachers
who are not taught of the Spirit, or who
enter untaught realms, know that what
they teach is not true, not that they
can test them by the experience of the
truth, but because what they preach

who could not logically _answer their
false beliefs, t esting them by the ex-

ASCENDED
William .M. V. Young was born at
Bueyrus, Crawford county, Ohio, Octo-
ber 1846, and died in JJos Apgeles,
California, F<!bruary, 17, 1909. He re-
sided in and near th_e place of his Iia- ..
tivity during his childhood and youth
until he of age, when .he
r emoved to Adri':in, Ohio, 'where he re-
sided for about five years. It was dur-
ing this time, August 28, 1873, that he
was married to Miss Lucinda Snyder,
who, wit.h' their only child, Mamini, sur-
. vive him. Some t ime after their mar-
riage they r emoved to Linsey, Ohio, and
after about five years residence there
r emoved in 1886 to Lqs- Angeles, Cal.,
lvhere they have since resided.
He was converted to God in 1874 at
Carey, Ohio, at a <!an1p mectirig held by
the Evangelical Association, of which
church both he and Sister Young be-
came members, and in the fellowship of
whieh they r emain and of \vhich, with
t\JC exception of one year when from
lack of opportunity, they became mem-
bers of the Presbyterian ch:urch, until
they united with the Chureh of the Naz-

and sin, and God's presence to vindi-
cate the right, even though he let the
tares grow long in the field. He. de-
scribed at l ength this striking crisis, to-
gethcr witlh the causes which' led to it.
He especially described and made per-
sonal the build-up of the old altar by
_Elijp.h, and showed clearly how this
was -the work of every one ; putting in
freshly such of the twelve stones, with
the wood, the sacrifice, and the answer-
ing fire from the skies.
The afternoon service at the taber-
nacle >vas indeed a very precious sea-
soil of divine r efreshing. The service
was in charge of Brother Ledford, who
had much to do with spreading holiness
over Southern California some twenty-
five years ago. . It was a great deligh\
to our people :who had been associated
with him in years gone by to hear the
words from his lips, which brougl,J,t
freshly to their minds the old days .. of :
victory filled with precious memory.
'l'he testimoni es were unctuous and the
very atmosphere seeined ladened with
divine blessing. There were three at
the altar seeking the Lord. "
There was a marked increase in the
attendance at the evening service, and
a gracious spirit of love and holy joy
swept over the meeting. The songs .. at !
the of the service were 'frag-
. rant with the Divine f avor, and the
