Il have always been good woman" WE'LL lot of people
DO things that would be afraid to do and would consider
myself foolish to do them.
profess to believe in God: to believe in the ministry
OF angels to believe in the Day of Judgment believe that
snail oe called upon to give account for every deed done
IN my BODY Ihen tell you my brothers and sisters with
such pro1esslons we cannot afford to rfeno cannot
But On! how very weak some people, and how far
short they FALL and then when they down SICK

STRENGTH COMES BY ATTENDING THE MEANS OF GRACE
Those of who we'll and strong today if you

they would love to have and reasonable but there
are number of people who have absolutely what

spiritual progress.

Lords Day with intense joy.
And then there people who have absolutely

THE LORD SUPPLIES ALL NEEDS
Any who would set before himself the task of
redeeming ZION CITY, would be unatic unless God the
Almighty had called him and trained him, and given him
the strength to stand under it; but not afraid;
faith my Cod and when little trouble up
it is sweet to be able to take it to Jesus.
What is beautiful than to little broken
hearted child who has broken his her choicest toy
ming and crying and looking into mamas face?
Nothing could be more lovely than that except
the child of God who when little aiment little trouble
comes up runs right to Jesus and tells Him all about it.
What could be glorious than that privilege! But do
not go in a half hearted way.
You people who in need of healing-Why just tell
God all about it and say Father this body is Thine is
the temple of the Holy Ghost and have use for it,
cept to glorfy You ask You to heal and leave
my body in Your hands," Take God at His word.
"Tis so sweet to trust in jesus That is such
beautiful thought.
