The herald. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1905-1953, 1918-08-01

John what things we have seen and
heard; how that the blind see, the
lame walk, the iepers are cleansed,
the deaf hear, the dead are raised,
to the poor the gospel is preached.
The pastor said that the text
showed that there was even a higher
call than that of the call from Wash
ington, for our Saviour's life and
his own teachings called for us to
serve. In fact God had not only
given the Ten Commandments. but
that through Moses he had given
those great health laws. A part of
the address of the governments to
her people was read. The appeal
made by our own government coup
led together with the great appeal
from the Bible should make us do
our very best in this time of stress.
At night, the music was up TO a
high standard and was much appre-
ciated.. The pastor gave bio
graphical sketch of the Patriarch
Jacob. He recited briefly some i'm
portant points in his life, empha-
sizing the point that only God could
change a man like Jacob, the sup
planter into Israel. a prince of God.
The rascality and double dealing at
tributed to Jacob was before he
wrestled with the angel and had his
nature and name changed. We must
remember further that he lived be-
fore the Ten Commandments were
given, before the Savior come. He
was blessed with a dream or an an
gels visit but We are blessed by the
promise: 10 | am with you al
ways, even unto the end of the
world
