know that He who is for us is greater
than ail who can be against us, and
with, him for us none can prevail
against us. We are now in the evil
day. How then may we have the
strength needed? The Apostle tells
us of the armour of God, provided for
trouble. Live in peace with all so
long as God's law is not sacrificed.
Accept your part of suffering with
joy.
(4—Shield—Faith) Maintain an a-
biding faith in God and his sure word
of promise. Rely upon his word and

"Wherefore, take unto you the whole
Armour of God that ye may be able
to withstand in the evil day, and hav-
ing done all, to stand."—Eph. 6:13.
The assurance here is that he who has
this armour on and keeps it on learns
to use it properly will be able to
stand.
God is the maker of this armour
through human agents. The armour
consists of his words, the message of
truth, put into proper shape to be
used for the benefit of the New Crea-
tion. Describing this armour in de-
tail, the Apostle says: "Having your
loins girt about with the truth." The
girdle is a symbol of servitude, and
suggests that no one is safe at this
time unless he is a servant of the
truth. Those engaged in evil surmis-
ing, fault-finding, back-biting, slander
libel or other works of darkness are
not servants of the truth. Let each
one of us see to it that he guards
himself against such wiles of the Ad-
others. Stand, leaning only on the
Lord.
(5—Helmet—Salvation) Strive to
increase in heart appreciation of God
and the Lord Jesus. Continue in the
study of the word. Feed upon the
food provided. Keep always before
your mind the strong hope of salva-
tion and the high position to which
you have been called.
(6—Sword—Word of God) Know
God's word, in letter and spirit. Be
able to give a reason for the hope you
have. Use it deftly in repelling the
Adversary. Let your battle cry be:
"It is written."
(7—Vow) Daily put in practice the
vow in letter and spirit. Take the
Lord Jesus with you in all things. Be
filled with His spirit.
If you do these things you shall be
strong in the Lord and have the power
which His supreme strength imparts
and be a certain victor.

"Follow peace with all and holiness,

will find little else. Those who avoid "Tbis
trouble find it necessary to diligently
keep themselves in the peace and love
of God.
"Above all taking the shield of faith,
wherewith ye shall be able to quench
all the fire darts of the wicked." The
enemy is constantly firing wicked
darts at the soldiers of the Cross.
These darts are liable to stir up in
your mind, doubts, fears, scepticism.
The shield of faith is your protection.
Faith means the intellectual under-
standing and appreciation of the word
of God—true principles—and confi-
dent reliance upon that word. "With-
out faith it is impossible to please
God. This is the victory that over-
cometh the world, even your faith.
"And take the helmet of salvation."
The helmet fitted over the head and
represents the Intellectual understand-
ing and appreciation of the Divine
Plan. This knowledge of God's word
and His method and his information
concerning the methods of the Adver-
sary, is absolutely essential In order
to protect ourselves against the evil
ones of this day. If we have no know-
ledge of the demons and their meth-
ods of attack, we could not be fore-
armed against them.
"And the sword of the spirit, which
is the word of nod." This is both an
offensive and defensive weapon. We
must have it and know how to use it.
Jesns weilded it successfnllv to each
attack made upon him. He said: "It
is written." and such must be our bat-
tle cry. We are not to use carnal wea-
pons. no such weapons as Satan uses.
We are to use the truth and let the
"trut.i do the cutting.
diers of the cross; let us rise to the
importance of the time and face the
perils of the hours with confidence in
our commander and Lord. The his-
tory of Ages Is looking down upon us.
The Holy Angels of Heaven are be-
holding the final conflict. Jesus and
the members of the Bride who have
passed beyond the vale are watching
our course, how we are quitting our-
selves. It is the greatest battle of
the ages, and the enemy is making a
final onslaught. God's little band of
soldiers are now clothed with the
complete armour of the Lord, are mar-
shalled for the last time upon the bat-
tle field. We hear the encouraging
words of our captain: "Be thou faith-
ful unto death, and I will give thee
the crown of life." Soon this army
will emerge from the smoke of battle
clothed in wreathes of victory. Soon
this army will be asked: "Who is she
that looketh forth as the morning, fair
as the moon, clear as the sun, and
terrible as an army with banners?"—
(Songs of Sol. 6:10). Soon the an-
swer from Heaven shall ring out,

Rev. Mattox of Muskogee, preached
