AS previously stated, we felt led Of
the Lord at the beginning of the year
to commit everything connected with

Tor his special guidance and provi-
dence. We began the year with the
determined purpose of contracting no
debts, of asking no man for anything,
but looking to God alone for very
thing. There was no church behind
us, no society or organization of n
kind and no man to whom we could
look for any financial support.
With a family of some fifteen stu

Join us in looking to God for their
daily needs, we began the study of the
word of God. We had only \ few dol
lars in hand and a very little in the
pantry, and a monthly. rent Of $40. 90 to
meet. Lit was a new experience to us,
aud at the beginning a little fear and
trembling came over us, lest we might
