almost to be inspired, and veritable waves of glory have swept over the people at the various religious services, held in connection with the Assembly and home campmeeting. This great hymn book contains one hundred of the glorious old battle songs of the church of Christ, the rich cream of all hymnology, the proved, tried veterans of centuries of song, the hymns our fathers and mothers sang, which inspired the devotions of our grandsires, and which wound themselves around our hearts in the dim, mysterious realms of infancy and childhood--the songs which speak to us with authority, and whose cadences march in might and majesty through all the halls and temples of our souls. It also contains those beautiful and thrilling peans of praise which mark the life and progress of the church of our own time; those songs of salvation which give us spiritual uplift. And in it are to be found a multitude of choruses which have proved their right to exist, and which fit into all sorts of occasions, requirements and emergencies. "The singing has been a marked feature of all the devotional meetings. Reports Of The Churches "The reports of churches were encouraging, and showed the work is taking hold of the people in different parts of the country; that providential opportunities are presenting themselves on every hand; that the Spirit of God is helping us to reach the masses, and bringing them under conviction; and that He is leading us on to victory. These reports come from quite a number of states, and represent a vast area. The report of the committee on statistics shows that we have thirty-eight churches, classes, and missions, extending from Ohio, on the East, to Washington, on the Northwest, and Southern California in the Southwest. The aggregate membership of these churches is about 3,300; the total value of church property, exclusive of the Nazarene Messenger and Bible College, is $103,000, and the total amount raised by the churches during the past year approximates $35,000. The Nazarene Messenger "Brother Coleman stated that a few years ago he carried the total issue of the paper to the postoffice in a market basket, but that now it furnished a load for an express wagon. Too much can not be said of the consecrated devotion to this branch of the work of Brother Kinne and Sister Ernest, and of their special fitness for the positions which they occupy. Legislation "The most important legislation enacted by the Assembly was the explicit bestowal upon the General Superintendent of the power of approving or disapproving of the pastors called by the local churches, the enlargement of the scope and power of District Assemblies, and the requirement that in future all applicants for church membership must be examined and recommended by the membership committees of the various churches. A legislative commission was formed, consisting of nine members, and to this commission was referred considerable proposed legislation. Conspicuous among the measures submitted to this commission is the proposal to create a board of three General Superintendents, each of whom shall preside at certain District Assemblies during the church year."
Dr. Bresee was re-elected as General Superintendent for another year. During the rest of the year, he remained in Los Angeles, preaching every Sunday morning in the First Church, delivering a series of lectures on Isaiah in the Bible College, helping the work by his personal presence and preaching in the numerous towns of Southern California, where churches of the Nazarene had been planted, writing voluminously for the Nazarene Messenger, and through the means of correspondence, keeping in close touch with the work and workers in other parts of the country.
