A Very Great Work "A very great work lies before us. A work which can not be forecast or provided for by human wisdom, or accomplished by human power. "It becometh us to lie low at the feet of Jesus; to be ready to suffer for Him; to possess our souls in patience; to be filled with love toward each other and to all men; to be deeply conscious of the call of God to this work. Only those who see the great providences of God in this work, and are so deeply conscious that he has called them to it, that they can do no other way than, with every force of faith and work, push the cause of God through the channel to which they are called--only such--will be of the greatest value in a work beset by so many difficulties as this to which we are called. "Again thanking God for the way He has led us, for the abundant blessings bestowed, for the faith and heroism He has breathed into the people of the Church of the Nazarene, and for all the victories won, and especially for what He is going to do for us: let us pray that the greatest wisdom may be upon our deliberations, and that the meekness and gentleness of Jesus may be in all our hearts." A mere list of the committees and their members, will be illuminating. They are as follows: State of the Church: B. H. Kennedy, Mrs. D. Wallace, Mrs. Ebert, Stewart Noble, J. H. Crowell. The Committees: Prohibition: Dr. S. Bowers, C. W. Raymond, Mrs. Lily Bothwell, C. H. Edwards, G. L. Shepardson. Sunday School: R. E. Shaw, Mrs. Paul Bresee, V. J. Jacques, H. N. Elliott, Mrs. Hague.

Church Extension: Geo. Newton, F. G. Woodward, Mrs. Ely, W. H. Slack, Mrs. Robert Young. Rev. Mrs. De Lance Wallace, pastor of the First Church of the Nazarene, at Spokane, Wash., read an interesting report, stating that the church held its services in a rented hall; that there were 175 members; that there was a promising class of twenty at Garfield; and that God was giving them blessed victory in the work. The roll-call of the Assembly disclosed a total membership of ninety, most of whom seem to have been present. The Rev. R. Pierce was elected secretary, and Rev. C. W. Raymond assistant secretary. Dr. Bresee was re-elected as General Superintendent, and Rev. E. A. Girvin was appointed historian, and requested to write the history of the Church of the Nazarene up to that time. During the progress of the Assembly a great home campmeeting was conducted by the Rev. G W. Ruth, assisted by Rev. Isaiah Reid, Rev. S. S. Chafe, Mrs. De Lance Wallace, Rev. George Newton, Rev. R. Pierce, and others. The glory of God was present throughout these great services, and some two hundred seekers knelt at the altar, most of whom claimed either pardon or purity. Rev. Isaiah Reid, of Iowa, thus describes this great meeting, in the Nazarene Messenger, of December 10, 1903: "It is a great inspiration to face a congregation of from one thousand five hundred to two thousand, where one feels that the expectation and the joy is to hear, not only about the 'common salvation,' but that uncommon measure of it involved in full salvation. An anti-holiness preacher who perchance might have found himself in this pulpit to preach, would find himself unable 'to go on without proceedin,' as the colored man explained when he found himself unable to introduce the subject he had in mind. With such countenances before him, such a regiment of eyes looking him full in the face, and such an atmosphere around him, anti-holiness insinuations, even in his words, would paralyze his tongue, and the ringing chorus of 'No! No! No!' confuse his thought world. Imagine him in such a tidal wave as struck us the last Thursday night of the meeting. The very building seemed surcharged with the divine presence. The songs took fire at once. The melody was grand, but the thought in the words was like fire in the dry grass on a prairie on a windy evening. When there was prayer, it was in pentecostal measure. The season of song surpassed the former. The organ was more melodious. The piano keys danced to the holy music, and the chorus of four horns was actually needed to give fuller tone and additional noise to the voluminous chorus of human voices. The evening thankoffering went in as an actual part of the service. Then we sang again. When the hymn was ended, some of it had to be sung again, for the praise spirit was not yet satisfied. When one song ended, some one in the congregation would strike up some other chorus. When this was done, another in another part of the house would do the same. At last the shouts drowned the songs. The hands went up of their own accord till they looked like a miniature forest. Then each tree in the forest waved with a white handkerchief. It was like the noise of many waters. Brother Ruth had arisen to try to preach. He could not. Once he got to where he thought he could read the text, b ut again the shouts broke out, and the strong cedars of Lebanon bent again and again from the mighty wind from the skies. The altar began to fill up. The rest of the evening was all taken up with altar work. Few will ever forget that mighty cyclone of divine power."
