person who could tell me coIieCeiS
ten promises God has made TO u.s.
and where they are to be found IN the
Bible; ] could start out from New
York with that carload and traVel
to San Francisco, and when got
there I would still have half OF my
Bibles left.
In reading Exodus, how many times
you lose patience with those thlck-
headed IsraeIites. sod was continually
promising to care for them, and yet
| half of them starved along, living on
| the hillsides on sag tea and greens,
| when they 1,isht just as Well nave
| been up to their knees III clover. they
| wouldn't take Gods word, and too
many are just As slow today, when
they might be living in blessings, III
| clover, instead of starving along.
When you are in trouble, instead or
going into the Bible to find a way out,
you let them grow, and they grow
faster than Jonah'S gOurd vine. You
are afraid to step out III the prom
Uses.
Like a man who went TO cross q
river on the ice and, after he had got
ten q little way, he thought he heard
a crack, and fell or his knees and
/ prayed and began to crawl to shore,
and as he arrived he heard a noise
and looked behind to see a six-horse
team with a wagonload Of pig iron
coming after aim.
% at some OF the promises:
"Whatever ye shall ask through
faith in My name. that shall surely
be given you" Or, IF you ask any
thing Of the Father in My name, I'll
do it." If that isn't a blank check, 1
don't know one.
If some OF you would receive such
a promise from Andrew Carnegie,
you'd sit up all night writing out
checks to be cashed in the morning.
And yet you leave the Bible lay on
the table and go to hell.
All power is given to me in heaven
and in earth. &C We, therefore, unto
: all nations, baptizing them in the
name Of the Father, the Son and the
Holy Ghost; and 10! I am with you
= always, even unto the end Of the
: world"
; All power is given to me. TIL be
: with you, and yet some never lift their
: hands.

This is Philadelphia'S lay, as surely

e in forty or fifty years.
