in motion influences of great moment, the effects of which are still
to be felt and seen. Robert Davis' sister in Michigan was a regular
subscriber to a religious journal. At this time she felt led to send
this paper to him.

"Robert, here is a new kind of religious paper," said Mary, who
was reading the first copy. "It has articles in it entitled, 'Full
Salvation,' 'Unity and Truth.' How does that sound?" Turning a page
over, she read again:

"'A definite, heart-searching, non-sectarian religious weekly,
published in the interests of the church of God. For the salvation
of sinners, entire sanctification of believers, divine healing of the
body, and the unity of all true Christians in the faith once delivered
to the saints.'"

"My, that sounds interesting," said Robert, "'Church of God'--I wonder
what church that is. 'Entire sanctification'--what does that mean? I
heard Brother Jones say on last Sunday that sanctified people were the
biggest cranks on earth, and he warned the congregation to lock their
chicken and smoke houses whenever they came around. But, just see
here, 'divine healing.' I wonder if that is Christian Science. Let me
read that paper," and he reached for it.

Robert dropped down into the nearest chair and was soon absorbed
in reading. He was gripped by a power he had never known before.
He noticed at once a directness, a simplicity, a spiritual flavor,
coupled with much quoting of proof-texts, that attracted his deepest
attention. He read an article on Repentance, one on Sanctification,
and two testimonies of divine healing.
