fNlitttn lDE liit A'i1hdtNhJ
On wednesday, October 25th. party Of
US assembled at the depot In Manchester
where we boarded the train for Bon Air
At a point between this station and
Granite the train slowed up, and fifteen
OF US were landed. Taking a foot-path
through the woods, after a short walk, we
reached Bethany Home" the faith or
phanage, near Bon Air. On arriving there
we were taken into the chapel, and our
ewes fell on these words: Jesus Christ
IS the Master of this house. He shall
baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with
fire."
The home at Bethany which Jesus
loved. had no surer proofs of His love
than this new Bethany, and though His
bodily presence Is not manifested there as
of old, they have manifest tokens OF His
presence, not, as then, coming and going,
but now abiding, and He is indeed the
Master of this home-managing, directing,
and controlling both spiritual and tenn
poral affairs, providing for all and meet
ing the needs that arise hourly from His
own bounty. The wants of tho home arc
made known only 10 Him. and God. ac-
cording to His promise. supplies all their
need. according to His riches In glory
by Christ Jesus"
In the chapel above mentioned we held
an all-day service, and no one will think
II strange that the Spirit manifested His
presence when we make known the fact
that in a sunrise prayer service that
morning all the inmates OF the home had
