How to Obtain Sanctification

"MIXTURE of joy and sorrow I daily do pass through; Sometimes I'm in the valley, Then sinking down with woe.

Chorus — Holy, holy, holy is the Lamb, Holy is the Lamb of God, Whose blood doth make me clean.

"Sometimes I am exalted, On eagle's wings I fly; Rising above Mount Pisgah, I almost reach the sky. — Chorus.

"Sometimes I am in doubting, And think I have no grace; Sometimes I am a-shouting, And camp-meeting is the place. — Chorus.

"Sometimes, when I am praying, It almost seems a task ; Sometimes I get a blessing, The greatest I can ask.— Chorus.

"Sometimes I read my Bible, It seems a sealed book; Sometimes I find a blessing Wherever I do look. — Chorus " Oh, why am I thus tossed — Thus tossed to and fro ? Because the blood of Jesus Hasn't washed me white as snow. — CJwrus.

"Oh, come to Jesus now, and drink Of that holy, living stream; Your thirst he'll quench, your soul revive, And cleanse you from all sin." — Chorus.

How is sanctification to be obtained? An important question. I answer, by faith. Faith is the only condition of sanctification. By th is I mean a faith that dies out to the world and every form of sin ; that gives up the sin of the heart; and that believes, according to God's promise, he is able to perform, and will do it now — doeth it now.

Why not yield, believe, and be sanctified now — now, while reading? "Now is the day of salvation." Say: "Here, Lord, I will, I do believe ; thou hast said now — now let it be — now apply the blood of Jesus to my waiting, longing soul."

"Hallelujah! 'tis done! I believe on the Son ; I am saved by the blood Of the crucified One."

N Now, dear reader, I conclude by praying that this little work may be blessed of God to your spiritual and everlasting good. I trust also that it will promote the cause of holiness in the Church.

Now, unto Him who is able to do exceeding abundantly, above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us; unto Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
