four and no more"
a Some pray with sweetness and up
lift than others Some pray so that
yon feel It goes no higher than their
heads while others pray so that thoy
seem to be talking with the Lord.
DR.. Eddy says people today are IN
need OF something they don't underst
stand. Many are in the churches
who don't realize there are those
there who get more than they are GET
ting. When We get the feeling we
need to be besee. 49, 9Jmen we
will be learning how to pray and we
will have great revival in Fairmont.
Faces here will change with the exc
perience. Don't pray how glad you
are you are not like others but pray
as humble sinner. Don't pray cream
and live skinned milk. God, like
father, will give us all and more than
an earthly father II we will only pray
to Him. And we won't get what God
has for US unless we do pray and live
as we should. II you haven't had an
answer to any OF YOUR prayers, you
aren't a Christian"
Dr. Eddy says Fairmont Is like u
stone wall and needs some great
awakening. He says the young people
here are drifting away from the church
and have their hands and feet in any
thing and everything deflling with lit
tie interest In worthy. holy affairs. He
says something must be done for Fair
mont because there is a deafness
here he can't understand May God
make us realize we have a campaign
on here for this purpose. was the
way DR.. Eddy ended his sermon last
night.
