FIVE GOOD POINTS.
I went to some of these meetings in the
old Azusa Street Mission (which now has almost a world-wide reputation), at first going with great caution and some fear. But when I came to review what I had seen and heard there, I noticed the following good points which
characterised their meetings and their literature:
I. They always honoured the Blood of Christ.
2. They honoured the Holy Ghost, giving Him room to work, and expecting Him to work.
3. They were certainly a Missionary people, with a burning desire to spread the Gospel far and near.
4. They were earnestly looking for the coming of the Lord, and continually witnessing thereto. It seemed a watchword with them, Especially when God blessed anyone, they would so often say “Oh, Jesus is coming so soon.”
5. As to money they took no collections; neither did they ask for money, not even hint for it. Truly they were trusting God alone for supplies; and they all seemed poor in this world’s goods. As I looked at these five points I could not help saying, ” That does not look like the devil’s work; I only wish that every church and every mission had the same solid foundation stones.
