CHRISTIAN PERFECTION
Earlier text: The Jubilee Song of Freedom

GEO. O. STATES

By Geo. O. States

I soon passed down to the beautiful Verde Valley, where the farmers were plowing and putting in their crops. I gave away a number of tracts as I passed through the valley. I then passed up a long cañon, where the road is very steep for about fifteen miles. Night found me going down as rapidly as I dared to ride, not knowing but I should have to lay out. Suddenly I saw a camp fire, and freighters camped for the night. In the usual Western style, I asked to roll up with them, which was freely granted. As I sat by the camp fire, and talked with those rough men about the beautiful new earth and life through Christ, they were much interested, and asked me to write down some of the references so they could give them to their wives, who they said would be glad to read them.
Early the next morning I was rapidly wheeling on toward a mining camp, where my son was teaching school. Remaining overnight, the next morning I wheeled to Prescott, where Elder Iles and I held our first tent-meeting in Arizona. I was glad to know that none who had taken hold of the truth had given up, although most of them had moved away to distant places. I stopped overnight, and the next morning walked up another long mountain. A little after noon I was in Skull Valley, where I held tent-meetings nearly two years ago. I was pleased to find the brother who took his stand at that time, strong in the truth. He is a reader of the REVIEW and similar reading-matter, which is the secret of his growing in the truth. I remained with him over the Sabbath.
Sunday morning I wheeled over another mountain to Peoples Valley, where Elder Iles and I held our second tent effort. As a result of removals and apostasy, only one family still holds to the truth. The drought has been so severe that farmers have not raised a crop for two years, and many are moving to more favored localities. Leaving this place, I passed over Antelope Mountain, going down a steep gulch for several miles, some of the way being obliged to carry my wheel, although having scarcely room enough to stand upon, and the bottom of the cañon being hundreds of feet below. It was not very restful for my nerves, and I was glad when I reached the road below. I wheeled about thirty miles to a station on the railroad, took the train, and the next morning was at Elder Evans's home, in Phoenix. I remained with the Phoenix church, visiting most of the members and holding meetings, for one week. I was indeed pleased to find them united, and to learn that they had their church debt all paid, and money raised to finish the church. My preaching was all practical, and the Spirit of the Lord was surely there as I dwelt on the importance of lifting up Christ in the home, in the church, and before the world. I never before had such freedom with this church; and as I took the train to return to my home, I was touched to see many of the church at the depot to see me off. May the Lord bless the Phoenix church. I arrived home after an absence of over two weeks, much refreshed.

OCTOBER 12 I began meetings in Rothbury. There is a company of Sabbath-keepers here, members of the Shelby church. From the first, there was some interest to hear. I continued to labor in public and from house to house for five weeks. One family took their stand on the whole truth; four persons were baptized, and three others joined the church. By invitation, I then went to Elbridge, and labored ten days. Here another accepted the truth, and was baptized, and taken into the Shelby church. I then spent two weeks with the friends in Crystal Valley. One who had turned from the Sabbath again took his place among God’s people.
I also spent one week with the Denver church, where I found the friends greatly discouraged; but by calling their attention to the only true Pattern, and the importance of keeping their minds fixed on him, they took courage. Satan is pleased to have God’s people give up to discouragement, but Christ is sad. L. A. KELLOGG.
CADILLAC.—The work here is progressing slowly but surely. An effort has been made to close all places of business on Sunday; but the mayor, who has read the Sentinel this summer, stopped the movement. There is now some discussion going on in the city papers on the subject. Brother E. A. Bristol has been holding meetings in a schoolhouse near by, and six persons have begun to serve the Lord. O. SOULE.
LAKEVIEW.—Some time ago the Lord indicated it to be my duty to devote my time to the work at this place. He has set his seal to the work, and eight persons have given their hearts to the Lord. Praise God. ALBERT WEEKS.

In 1853 he began to observe the Sabbath, hence was one of the oldest Sabbath-keepers in the State. He manifested patience and Christian fortitude during sixteen years of great suffering. His faith in the message was unswerving to the last. A faithful wife is left to mourn, but a strong hope in God’s promises buoys her up. Funeral services were conducted by the writer. P. F. BICKNELL.

Rome Never Changes

A book lately issued on “Romanism in Its Home,” tells that “in a late ‘decree’ of the Sacred Congregation in Rome,” Leo XIII, the present pope, is “twice called, ‘Our most holy lord, Pope Leo XIII.’” “Rome never changes;” that is the truth.

Martinelli on Sunday Observance

NOTICE that in Apostolic Delegate Martinelli’s article, on the first editorial page of this paper, he does not miss the opportunity to emphasize the truth that “there is no divine law which commands us to commemorate Sunday. The observance is purely of ecclesiastical origin.”

A Plan to Eliminate Denominational Debts

SISTER E. G. WHITE has inaugurated a plan whereby our denominational debts can be wiped out. What she proposes now is only a beginning, to be sure; but the Lord is making clear that efforts must now be made to get rid of all these indebtednesses. She now calls upon all our people everywhere to come up to the help of the Lord in this matter. The full plan will be published next week.
