ADDENDA: "THE MONSTROUS REGIMEN OF WOMEN"
There is an interesting note in Proverbs 31:3 -- "Give not thy strength unto women." Experience shows that in nearly every instance women rule those men who have compromised their purity and thus sold their integrity.
Without a doubt the reason for rampant "feminism" today is the curse directly brought upon an immoral society.
THE "SECOND WORK OF GRACE" VS. THE SUFFICIENCY OF CHRIST.
When a person confesses the need for a "second work of grace" in his heart, it is a tacit confession that Christ is an incomplete Saviour --that He is "insufficient" and therefore he needs "something else."
"Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His." –Romans 8:9b. Here the Apostle Paul makes it clear that everyone "born of God" has the Spirit of Christ.
TWO LETTERS
John Oliver, Pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, Augusta, Georgia, writes:
In one of the most recent issues of "The Angelus" you urged Christians to write to the Federal Communications Commission concerning an alleged petition to remove religious broadcasting from the radio waves. Unfortunately, this is misinformation. I am enclosing a copy of a letter from the office of public affairs of the National Association of Evangelicals and an excerpt from the House of Representatives minutes of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
In my estimation, it would be wise for you to correct the previous information in a subsequent edition of "The Angelus" because of its widespread mailing.
Please know that I am almost always appreciative of the information and emphasis of "The Angelus." God bless
you, Brother.Yours in Christ,

Aiken Taylor, Editor of the Presbyterian Journal writes:In relation to your item of April 15, 1979, concerning Madalyn Murray 0’Hair, the attached news release from the National Association of Evangelicals has a pungent word.
It has been as hard to stop this unfounded rumor as it was to get it going some four years ago.
Sincerely,

The Lansman-Milan petition sought to limit application by religious institutions for television and FM channels reserve for education systems. It never involved Mrs. O’Hair. It was ruled against on August 1, 1975.
We stand corrected.
YOU ARE INVITED TO ATTEND
The Pilgrim’s Bible Church
IN THE CHAPEL OF THE BON AIR RESIDENTIAL HOTEL
SUNDAY- II:0O AM, 7:00 PM WEDNESDAY-7:30 PM
16, 1416 --Bohemia. Jerome of Prague, a disciple and fellow-laborer with John Huss is condemned. The stake is planted, the faggots prepared, and the officers lead him to the pile. He is mounted on a bench that he might be heard by the assembly. He gives expression to his sorrow at having in a moment of fear given his approval to the burning of John Huss. He declares his sentence to be wicked and unjust like that inflicted upon
that holy man. "In dying," he declares, "I shall leave a sting in your hearts and a gnawing worm in your consciences. And I cite you all to answer to me before the Most High and Just Judge within an hundred years."
17, 1806 --India. Henry Martyn, only two days in Calcutta, writes in his Journal, "I almost think that to be prevented going among the heathen as a missionary would break my heart."
19, 1662 --England. The Act of Uniformity is passed. "...Every parson, Vicar, or other minister whatsoever ...shall in the church, chapel, or place of public worship belonging to his said benefice or promotion, upon some Lord’s Day before the feast of St. Bartholomew ...one thousand six hundred and sixty-two, openly, publicly, and solemnly read the morning and evening prayer...and after such reading thereof, shall openly and publicly, before the congregation there assembled, declare his unfeigned assent and consent to the use of all things in the said book contained and prescribed in these words and no other: ‘I, A.B., do here declare my unfeigned assent and consent to all and everything contained and prescribed in and by the book entitled, The Book of Common Prayer..."
Eight objections are the principal obstacles for many godly ministers to find it contrary" to their consciences: it was contrary to the Word of God --
1.) That no minister is admitted to baptize without using the sign of the cross;
2.) That no minister is admitted to officiate without wearing a surplice;
3.) That none are admitted to the Lord’s Supper without receiving it kneeling;
4.) That ministers are obliged to pronounce all baptized persons regenerated by the Holy Ghost;
5.) That ministers are obliged to deliver the sacrament of the body and blood of Christ to the unfit;
6.) That ministers are obliged to absolve the unfit of their sins and that in absolute expression;
7.) That ministers are forced to give thanks for all whom they bury, as persons whom God has taken to Himself;
8.) That none may preach who do not subscribe that there is nothing in the Common Prayer book, ordination service and Thirty-Nine Articles contrary to the Word of God.
One intention is to dismiss godly ministers appointed from 1654 onward by Cromwell’s "Commission of Triers." This commission required a minister --regardless of ecclesiastical order to be "a person for the grace of God in him, his holy and unblameable conversation, as also for his knowledge and utterance, able and fit to preach the Gospel."
Two thousand ministers refusing to conform will be ejected from their pulpits.
30, 1574 --France. Charles IX, the Catholic king who instigated the massacre of St. Bartholomew in which 80,000 to 100,000 French Protestants (Huguenots) were massacred, is suffering with a horrible disease which has ravaged his frame. He has recently been silent, morose, irritable, and gloomy secluding himself from all society. A bloody sweat oozing from every pore bloodies his bed clothes. His occasional outcries of remorse and his aspects of misery have driven all from his room but those compelled to render his service.
He groans and weeps incessantly exclaiming, "Oh, what blood! Oh, what murders! Alas, why did I follow such evil counsels?" He continually sees the specters of the slain with ghastly and gory wounds stalking about his bed; and demons with hideous appearances carrying weapons of torture, and armed with horrid malice, waiting impatiently to seize his soul the moment it passes from his body.
As the Cathedral bell tolls the hour of twelve, the nurse attending him with two other watchers hears the dying monarch sighing and moaning, then convulsively weeping. Gently, the nurse approaches his bed-side and draws aside the curtains. The king turns his dim and despairing eyes upon her and cries out, "Oh, my nurse! My nurse! What murders have I committed! Great God! Pardon me --pardon me!
A convulsive shuddering for a moment agitates his frame, his head falls back upon his pillow, and the wretched man dies 24 years of age, expressing satisfaction he has left no heir to live and suffer in a world so full of misery. Ironically, his doctor and nurse are both Huguenots!
