in various ways: Expulsion of sour
gas, waterbrash, sour taste in mouth,
heaviness after eating. shortness of
breath, bad breath, etc.

Are they praying for us at home?
Ar they meeting together in prayer,
Or going about in the same old way
AS they did when | was there?
We thank them for their money.
We thank them for their care,
But, oh. just tell them, mother dear,
We are needing so much prayerl
win you ask them to meet together
To meet at our Fathers throne,
That we may be kept from falterinb,
When we feel we are standing
alone?
There are moments when courage
fails us,
When dangers around US stare;
Oh, tell them again, dear mother,
We are needing so much more
