Christians. 1t meant that their
spiritual perceptions were growing
clearer and the Holy Spirit could
not fail to continue in the the work

that if could not get along with

down. Another says, II have been
looking at other people and have al

meanors, and in confession. and re-
stitution and remuneration of their
sins found pardon and peace. and a
note of victory has found its way in
to their lives. Two weeks later. the

meeting service, two of the girls came
to apologize to me for something they
had said that day about me. eve
