hope, the promises Of the Bible are is
strength. God is It's author; HIS Son its
leader. and the holy spirit is its inspiration,

the storehouses that there may be meat in
His house and prove the Lord of Hosts
If He will not open the windows
Of heaven and pour Us oat blessing that
there shall net be room enough TO
receive IT,"
