The Civil Har revolutions. the believe that the members of the body. Christ, must not participate in wat. Therefore we whole names appear upon the member ship rolls of the churches of God of the faith of abraham , subscribe to the following was resolutions, as adopted by the church of God of Hateville , Washington , on the 19th day of March 1893.
To-wit: thereas we are living in perilous Livres specifically pointed and by the sure word of prophecy, and whereas the same un. aring prophecy points with unmistatable certainty to the fearful doom which shall come upon this world resulting eventu- -ally in the battle of wirma geddon ( Rev. 16: 14-16; Zech, 14: 1-3).
and whereas it is apparent that the gov. emments of the present time are making unparalleled preparation for war in the paring was material, and marshalling and thaining men as soldiers to go into the awful scene of blood and carnage,
and whereas civil governments are established and maintained by the sword and will there continue during this dispensation and whereas all civil governments are swayed by the political parties in power, and that all political parties are was parties, and the governments of this world by their

military strength will oppose the ford Jesus Christ when he comes to establish This kingdom ( Psa. 2 : 1- 9, under whose . authority righteousness and peace will be established upon the earth ( Jer. 23: 5, 6; Dan. 7: 13,14, 27; Rev. 5: 9,10; Rev. 11: 15).
?
and whereas the scriptures forbid Christ. =ions in engaging in taking the lives of their fellowmen or to avenue themselves of invaginary or real wrongs ( Rom. 1 2:19). Therefore be it resolved, that we as mem - bers of the church of God of the faith of abraham , in whatever locality situated, do hereby solem, by declare that we cannot conscienciously lengage in the scenes of political strife, or engage in was, thus participating in the cruel destruction of those supposed to be or known to be enermies of the civil govern -ments under which we live (Matt. 26:52; Matt sì 21; Luke 3:14).
the are willing to go where the word of God directs us, and do what his word commands us . For the protection of our rights and our property, allowing us to live quiet and peaceable lives, we are willing to pay taxes, or tribute, Custom and honor; and every thing we can do, not con- flirting with the law of God, until the establishment of the kingdom of God upon the earth, when and where righteousness will prevail (Luke 1:31-33; Osa 11: 1-9; Isa. 35: 1-10).

REWARD FOR SERVICE Luke 16:13 Rom. 12:1.
Beautiful are youth's sweet flowers, If one cultivates them well; They will be our greatest treasures, None of which we'll care to sell.
It will be our greatest pleasure, When we've grown old and gray; Just to glance at them at leisure, If we've fought and won the day.
If you have become disheartened, And have almost lost your way. Let at once your hope be strengthened, And enlist with God today.
Your reward is life eternal, Will you stand and look aghast At your many sins internal, Till your present life is past?
Better quit yourself a soldier, Don God's armor with delight; What did Christ deem holier Than to quit himself and fight?
E. R. Drabenstott.

WAITING
Long years we have been waiting, Since first we heard the cry, "Behold Messiah cometh , Redemption draweth nigh". Long years of pain and trial, Long years of hope deferred, But still, though faint and weary, We've trusted in His word.
We've watched the signs that tell us The Lord will soon appear, Plainly as budding fig tree, Foretells the summer near; We've seen the scoffer walking In unbelief and pride, And heard from lips unholy The Word of God denied .
Now wrong and evil triumph, And make their lofty boast, While right and truth and justice,
Are trampled in the dust; We've reached the days of peril, By holy ones foretold, When men have turned to bables, And faith and love grow cold.
Long years we have been waiting And still we wait in hope, While men in blindness grope; Still shines the word prophetic, A light upon our way, To warn us of its dangers, And guide us to the day.
Long years we have been waiting, And we will wait until Messiah reigns in glory, Enthroned on Zion's hill; We'll watch the signs around us, With truth our hearts we'll gird, And while we walk in peril We'll trust His Holy Word.

HISTORY CHURCH OF GOD OF THE ABRAHAMIC FAITH Roll, Indiana
From a copy of the RESTITUTION af March 24, 1875, it was reported by D. T. Halstead that a visit to Dundee, Blackford County, Indiana had revealed that a new church had been organized.
"The church is young -- organized last year -- but is thoroughly olive, having a zeal ac- cording to knowledge. Their influence is felt throughout the entire community. Their Elder, Brother Roby, is of good report, within and without the congregation, intelligently informed, rapidly grawing in knowledge, and withal, quite an effective speaker. "
The Church was founded on the principals af Faith and Practice. From an earlier record we read the following:
Dundee, Blackford Caunty, Indiana
December 6, 1873
We whose names are here annexed, having believed the things concerning The Kingdam of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, in order the mare effectualy to serve Him, hereby organize ourselves into a body to be known as The Church af Gad at Dundee, Blackford County, Indiana, and agree that we will assist each other in our mutual watch care, and by a Godly conversation, and an upright walk, acknowledging God's ward as our only rule af, Faith and Practice.
The foregoing being unanimously adapted, We then selected the officers. The name of Bro. Nathaniel Roby was proposed being the chaice of his Brethren, he was appointed Elder of the Church of God at Dundee. Bro. Wm. Frazier and Wm. Swain were appointed Deacans of the same organization, this December 6, 1873.
Names af members of Church of God:
Nathanie! Roby, Mary E. Raby, Wm. Frazier, hatie Frazier, Wm. Swain, Rebecca Swain, John T. Brathertan, Abie Brothertan, Ira Vernan, Emily Vernon, Samuel Mincer, Elmira Mincer, George Mincer.
Thus was the foundation laid to carry the Truth forward. Life maved at a slower pace in those days and the labors af the dedicated men and women were rewarded in a graup af believers who held fast to the Gaspel that was preached amang them.
Their meetings were held at the Bailey Schaal House, two miles west and ane mile narth of the Courthause in Hartford City. At other times, services were held in barns or ather buildings large enaug !: to shelter those wha gathered ta hear the word of Gad preached.
The speakers travelled from one group ta the next, and through their efforts, many new members were brought into the church.
A wogan was the transportation used by William H. Harnaday, wha, with his wife and three children warked dilligently to further the cause. He became identified with the church previous ta December, 1873, when the eurliest accounts of his travels ta this region first appear.
