At one time. for instance In the carly
history OF the organization she felt led"
to start around the world. The fact that
she had no money did not seem to her

started digging ground for a new barn
and garage that had been needed for
some time at Zarephath, N. j. the head
quarters of the Pillar Of Fire. It is not
necessary to add that the building went
up. Bishop White has proved to her sat

before because she was much afraid Of
