And earth repeat the loud Amen.
After the singing of this hymn the congregation again
united in singing the hymns BRINGING THE SHEAvEs
and Cast BREAD UPON THE WATERS"
Elder Moot read the ifty-ffth chapter of Isaiah:
"Ho, every that thrsteh, to the waters and
he that hath money buy and eat; come
buy wine and milk without money and without price.
Wherefore do We spend money for that which is not
bread and your that which saseh not? hearkn
diligently unto Me- and eat We that which good and let
your soul delight itself in fairness.
incline your ear, and unto Me: hear and your
soul shall live; and will make everlasting covenant with
you even the sure mercies of David
Behold have given Him for witness to the people,
leader and commander to the people.
Behold thou shalt call nation that thou knowest not
and nations that not thee shall unto the because
of the Lord thy Cod for the Holy One of Israeli for He
hath gorifed thee.
"Seek We the Lord while He may be found, call We upon
Him while He is near:
LET the wicked forsale his way, and the unrghteous
his thoughts and let him return unto the Lord and
He will have mercy upon him and to God, for He will
abundantly pardon.
'For My thoughts not your thoughts neither
your ways My ways, saith the Lord
For as the heavens are higher than the EARTH
My higher than your and My thoughts than
thoughts
"For as the rain cometh down. and the snow from
heaven and returneth not ither but waereh the EARTH
and maeth bring forth and bud that may give seed
the sower, and bread to the eater
$50 shall My Word be that goeh forth out Of My mouth
it shall not return unto void but it shall accomplish that
which please and shall prosper in the thing whereo
sent it.
"For we shall go out with JOY and be led forth with
peace the mountains and the hills shall break before
into singing and all the trees of the field shall clap their
hands.
INSTEAD of the thorn shall up the fir tree and in
stead of the brier shall up the myrtle tree and it
shall be the Lord NAME for everlasting sign
shall not be cut off,
Speed away! speed away your mission of light,
10 the lands that are lying in darkness and night
lis the Masters command go We forth in His NAME
The wonderful Gospel Of Jesus proclaim;
Take your lives in your hand to the work while it's day
Speed away! speed away! speed away!
After singing the hymn "SPEED AWAY the congre-
cation bowed their heads in silent prayer while the Cen
era Overeer repeated the following passages of Scrpre
ASK and it shall be given you; SEEK and ye shall find;
knock and it shall be opened unto you
For every that asketh receveth and he that seek
eth fndeh and to him that knocketh it shall be opened"
eff We abide in Me- and My words abide you We shall
ask what We will, and it shall be done unto you"
"Now unto Him who is able to do exceeding abundanty
above all that we ask think according to the that
worIeth in u.s."
"Have faith in God"
Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evil
dence Of things not SEEN"
without faith it is impossible to please Cod"
Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed
upon U.s. that should be called the of Cod there
fore the world knoweth not because knew Him not
Beloved, we the of Cod and it doth not
yet appear what shall be: but know that when He
shall appear, shall be like Him. for we shall see Him
as He is
And every man that hath this hope in him purfeth
himself even as He is pure
Whosoever commtteth sin ransgresseth also the law.
for sin is the transgression of the law
"And we know that He manifested to take awav our
sins and in Him is no SIM
"Whosoever abideth in Him sinneth not: whatsoever
sinneth hath not Him. neither known Him.
