that there is any God" That was on Fri
day night. l said, "We will kneel down
and find out whether there is any God"

Friday night, said: my opportunity

not now; the door is shut" And another
from the very midst of the meeting during
the week rushed out of the front door of
the tabernacle, saying, 81 am lost man."
