Opinions, however, diliered as to the real meaning of sancuutl- cation, the manner of its application, the extent to which It Play and ought to be carried on, aud the means by which it 18 secnred. There were persons | an every community who had what may be termed EXTREME VIEWS touching this doctrine as to its nature and extent and the means used tosecare lt Pubheations were sustained and meetings held to further what was called “holiness,” “sanctification,” “entire conse- eration,” the higher Christian life, full salvation, and such like. That this is a question of imp tance all must concede who believed in an mward | spiritual and divine life tmparied in the soul by the | spirit of God as the germ of the future aud eternal Ife of purity and bliss, for winch the people of God look and hope through Christ, It was very possible to entertain For this | sanctifica- MISTAKEN VIEWS of this, as of every other fact im religious lalth and practice. Whut was the teaching of the New ‘Te: ment on the subject? If we could understand that it would settle ail debate and give usthe truth. The word “sanctification” was lound nearly three hun- dred mes im ihe New Testament in its various forme. It was most frequently rendered as “holy,” “holiness’? and “to make holy.” It was applied most frequently to the spirit of God as the “Holy Spirit, “Holy Father,’ “holy Apostles,’ “holy elty,”? “Holy Ohuld,’? “hely prophets, “holy angels’? and the like, God's people were called ‘ ‘saints’ — that 1s, “holy ones.” Taat was the meaning of the word “saint,” and tn this seuse 1t was used more ‘than fifty umes in the Testament. ‘The word ‘sane- Uuiication,” the tact of being made holy. or the state of holiness, was found but tive times, THE ACT OF SANCTIFYING, or the fact of being sanctified, was mentioned some twenty-five times, Now what was ‘“holi- ness,” or ‘sanctification,’ us the terms were used synonymously in the New ‘Testa- ment? There were three different uses and meanings of holiness. First, a person or thing 19 suid to be “holy?” w ket apart and devoted to a sacred and holy use, especialty if it be done by sacred rites und services, ‘Tals Was the More common use of ine term. All the first born of the flock were to be sancittied; so Was the tabernacie and altar and all the utensils to be used in the sacred service. GOD SANCTIFIED THE SABBATH.

Its purity Was here mtended. “This 18 the wilt of God, even your sancunea tion.” Be ye holy, for | am holy. Third— Holiness, or sanciification, was used tn the sense of an imputed righteousness from Christ, applied to believers. Thus the apostle sys of Christ that He 1s made unto us wisdom, rigit- eousness, Sanctification and redeemeth. “Christ is ‘the seed of the law for righteousness to every one that belleveth."” Now, it was mu te seo fenses in which the words were generally 1 Indicate the doctrine of personal holin caution or higher Ive—a personal holiness, purity and cleansing from sin in ihe soul and in the life. | ‘That this was demanded and was the privilege of all there Was no doubt.
