"SANCTIFY THEM THROUGH THY TRUTH."         Our Dear Fellow-Members in Christ's Body: To welcome you to The Banner of Truth, I have chosen to share the classic Holiness hymn below. At the turn of the Twentieth Century, there were many beloved and revered hymns of the Faith in practice, but there were indeed few as deeply moving as this one. Our dear Brother Corley was recently reminiscing upon his early days at Elim, when in a particular meeting, upon which rested a profound anointing of the Holy Spirit; beloved Mother, Minnie Spencer, was moved upon to stand and recite the words of this hymn. So great was its impact upon that meeting (and upon the entire school) that there came an overshadowing of our Lord's presence for many days afterward. Please remember: The Power of God is just the same today! Hallelujah! THE BONDAGE OF LOVE O sweet will of God! thou hast girded me ’round, Like the deep, moving currents that girdle the sea; With omnipotent love is my poor nature bound, And this bondage to love sets me perfectly free. (Refrain) Hallelujah! hallelujah! my soul is now free! For the precious blood of Jesus cleanseth even me. For years my soul wrestled with vague discontent That like a sad angel o’ershadowed my way; God’s light in my soul with the darkness was blent, And my heart ever longed for an unclouded day. And now I have flung myself recklessly out, Like a chip on the stream of the Infinite Will; I pass the rough rocks with a smile and a shout, And I just let my God His dear purpose fulfill. Forever I choose the good will of my God, Its holy, deep riches to love and to know; The serfdom of love to so sweeten the rod, That its touch maketh rivers of honey to flow. Roll on, checkered seasons, bring smiles or bring tears, My soul sweetly sails on an infinite tide; I shall soon touch the shores of eternity’s years, And near the white throne of my Savior abide. - By George D.

An Account Of An Old-Time Camp Meeting PLEASE SEE THE POWERFUL HYMN BELOW:    WE ARE LIVING, WE ARE DWELLING We are living, we are dwelling In a grand and awful time. In an age on ages telling, To be living is sublime. Hark! The waking up of nations, All you soldiers to the fray. Hark! What soundeth is creation Groaning for its latter day. Will you play then, will you dally With your music and your wine? Up! It is Jehovah's rally! God's own arm hath need of thine. Hark! The onset! Will you fold your Faith-clad arms in lazy lock? Up! O, up! Thou drowsy soldier! Worlds are charging to the shock. Refrain: Worlds are charging (Heav'n beholding!) Thou hast but an hour to fight. Now the blazoned cross unfolding (On! Right onward for the right!) On! Let all the soul within you (For the truth's sake go abroad!) Strike! Let every nerve and sinew Tell on ages, tell for God. Return to the Top of Page
