A Holiness Manifesto

Recommendations

A Holiness Manifesto is a good climax

title for a book prepared by C. W. Butler in life’s evening, and I can hardly

think of any one’s leaving it out of his library, after having witnessed the

nationwide ministry of the Author. I am quoted as having referred to him in the

earlier days as the Martin Luther of the Holiness Movement. It is a miracle the

way the Lord has strengthened him to write and preach for revivals and camp

meetings. The Publisher has been asked to send me my copy, as soon as The

Holiness Manifesto comes off the press.

I have known

Dr. C. W. Butler for many years. He is a tower of strength in the holiness

movement. He has been honored and respected by those who have known him, and

his preaching and writings have been a mighty power for God. I am sure that

this new book, A Holiness Manifesto, will have a large sale and be the means of

blessing many.

Dr. C. W. Butler has had a long and fruitful life in

promoting Biblical truth—especially that of scriptural holiness. His virile

mind, logical habits of thought, keen insights into truth, sensitivity of

spirit and loyalty to the highest standards of God’s Word have made him an

outstanding leader in Arminian-Wesleyan circles in America.

I know of no

man who has kept the passion for a sound theology and a soul-saving ministry in

closer union across the years than has Dr. Butler. He has maintained a

perennially fresh approach to the Word of God, to the Throne of Grace and to

the souls of men. His sermons by voice and pen have been both intellectually stimulating

and soulfully satisfying. He is eminently qualified to give us instruction on

the “central idea of Christianity,” namely, “true holiness.” I heartily commend

his Holiness Manifesto to all who would know God and his power through Christ,

by the Holy Spirit, to cleanse from all sin.

For

something over forty years Reverend Charles W. Butler and I have worked side by

side in school, tabernacle, and camp meetings. We have had remarkable agreement

in our views on all vital matters of doctrine and general policies. When he is

called to a camp meeting I know the camp will get great preaching, sound

teaching, and rugged truth. His messages come from a rugged personality. A man

thoroughly and conscientiously in earnest saturated with truth, shot through

with experience and mastered by sober thought, tugging at the mind to lead man

to God and holiness of heart and life. Possessing strength without arrogance,

faithfulness with charity for all that is good, and unbending opposition to all

that is evil or scripturally unsound, his preaching is under the light and

anointing of the Holy Spirit. He has continued as long, if not longer in years

of full salvation evangelism than anyone of our time. A cedar of the mountains,

a strong oak of the valley, a gleaming pine of the hills. May the sun linger on

him here until it dawns upon him from the skyline of the everlasting tomorrows.
