Mrs. Montgomery, may be summed up in
the words: Therefore glorify God IN your
body and IN your spirit, which are God s.

was the most joyful thing in the world"
She then spoke of results, one being.
I'VE have teace that flows like river" :;
another, 1.-The windows OF heaven are
opened; another. 1--WE will be filled with
the desire 70 testify TO others OF tie will Of

was asked.
Mr.. Mnls-No. One of the most frultless
things on earth is discussing what words
mean. There is a difference between re-
nunclati0n and cOnsecrat on. There is such
a thing as definitely giving up sin and an
oiEer thing IN definitely giving up every
thing.
Several ladies also gave their experiences
Of how they became entirely consecrated.
