every dollar that have All right, go and do it, even
though you may have to start life all again. Ii you
will not make right your wrongs then will never pray Tor
your healing; and neither you be member OF this
Church. I refuse to associate with you, and will not
fellowship you and neither will you get anything from COO

and know that has to get right with God and then
to keep very, very close to God
PRACTICAL REPENTANCE AND RESTITUTION ARE NECESSARY
Some of you will remember that who came here
who had deserted the United States Army and whom Dr.
Dowie made go back and confess to the Government
Some of you will also remember that man who came
here who had committed crime and whom Dr. Dowie sent
back to New York to confess his crime.
And we'll remember another who came here from
Minnesota who had robbed the County of six hundred dol
lars in taxes He went from Central Zion Tabernacle
Chicago back to Minnesota and made his confession and
gave them check for the amount-with interest added
Now my brothers and sisters that is the only kind of
religion that worth something this old world That is

from the hand of God Almighty but you will only be wasting
your time land my time and strength and you will not
receive anything
have already asked you two questions and will ask
two and do not want to answer them merely
from the lips but you must them from the heart
AS far you know your hearts, you come here
and kneel,-because you going to knee; old
fashioned Methodist when it to prayer, and
ing to have you all knee here; will clear this front

thousand people have kne here right here upon this bare
floor, and want who in need of healing to come
right up here and kneel this mornings there any him
drance that would God from answering the

God.
"For verify say unto you, That whosoever shall say
unto this mountain Be thou removed and be thou cast into
the sea- and shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe
that those things which he saith shall pass he shall
have whatsoever he saith. Mark II :22 %.
