Blessed are tho IE- resisting who are willing to put them selves in a secondary place. If it ;s possible to long after food for ...e body 1t is possible to long for God If you have suffered for Christ you have been more than paid because you did it for Him. The quartet from the Central Baptist church with Miss Ruth Sullivan at the piano made the sing ing most beautifuf part of the hour. Standing, and. Under His Wings I as Safely Abiding, were rendered most irnpressirely. A fitting close to the service was the hymn. Need Thee Every Hour.
