A CALIFORNIA paper which is professedly devoted to the spread of holiness, gives, in a half-column article instructions "how to prevent the spread of holiness." Among other methods it gives the following: "Imbue them [the people] with the idea that they are to be holy by striving to do right, to keep the law of God." This, it avers will check the spread of holiness. We are reminded of the colored man who requested the new preacher not to say much about the ten commandments, "because," said he, "they has such a dampenin' effect on the congregation." We have grave doubts as to the utility of that kind of holiness which is hindered by obeying the commandments of God. The Saviour prayed for his disciples, "Sanctify them through thy truth," and Peter says, "Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth." Paul says, also, that the "law is holy;" if so it must make those holy who conform to it. This is Bible holiness; the new kind, however, will doubtless be "received with gladness" by those who love to do as they please. We have before referred to the statement of Andrew Fuller, the well-known Baptist author, that this modern theory of sanctification is nothing less than an "antinomian delusion," and this statement of the "holiness" organ proves that the charge is just. Antinomianism is one of the most dangerous delusions of the age—all the more dangerous because it is so fast becoming incorporated into the great religious system of the age. The law of God—the decalogue—is losing its hold on the consciences of men, because the churches and their pastors teach that it may be modified or changed in its terms without any violation of its obligation. If this be true it is no longer legal, but advisory, and its observance is optional. The modern "holiness" teachers make not the least difference between justification and sanctification. We know they do in theory, but not in fact. They treat sanctification precisely as Paul treats justification. This point we propose soon to examine in a separate article.
