effective argument and his plea for the
preaching of the gospel OF Christ"
1t was claimed that all men have
visions if they ever amount to any
think upon earth; but some more clear
than others. It was said mature re
veals herself to us in the mysteries Of
life and gives us visions that brings
us out of SELF and further along WI
see the visions OF Gods wonderful,
handiwOrk in the desert or the stars
of heaven, and seeing this by our eyes
in visions we see the real God.
1--WE see the light thai is within 0ul
own hearts-nOt a saving light-oul
Conscience tremendous vision, a!
seen by holy men and women bu'
which leads us to appeal to God ant
have Him let the light into our hearts
And when God flashes the X-ray int
the heart it is never the same after
wards that it was BEFORE"

by examining the lives Of Abraham
when as Abram he left his father
house, Jacob in the vision of the lad
der of heaven, Paul when not disObed
lent to the vision, Daniel and lssaial

The scene was the memorable one
in which Moses tells Pharaoh that he
must let his people go. The compro
mise is where Pharaoh tries to dec
with Moses and let the 1sraelites have
the letter of their contention but lose
the spirit. The scene was used to Ill
ustrate what the devil is willing tc
have those seeking religion to Go.
