Blackwell Sunday School

Dear Editor: WIN you please pub
lish these few Ines In your next issue?
We, at this place. are glad TO report
our Sunday school still going on are
glad for the ones who come ont ond
take part; also Of our PRAYER meeting
that we have been having and moro
than thankful for the church we have
We win our own eyes, can see that
our work Is progressing but we can
not see so great a progress as the One
who gave all these things. We lid
not make these things just spoken of
but God, who made heaven and earth
and all things that are in them. gave
those things to us. This world was
not made with hands of men.
We know the things that today exist
on the land and the great wonders
we see daily and the wonders we hear
OF are not accomplished with our
hands, but they come from a higher
power than man is able to reach.
We are supposed to be living in
very fast time but we are not vet able
to do and make all these things. Men
can do great things but the God of
the most high heaven can destroy all
he does. Man can gain riches but
when he dies he will have to leave
them all. They will he left behind
to be tried by fire. When our Lord
returns all our work will be tried by
fire. What are good will stand the test
but all impurities, uncleanliness and
worldly things will perish.
Our Savior is coming for his own.
He is coming to take to Heaven all
hnf ~ 4
angels to the four winds to gather up
His elect. Those that have their gar
ments washed i'm the blood of the
lamb, have on the robe of righteous
ness and are ready to meet him shall
go with Him to live forever in the
place where He has so long been gone
to prepare. He is away preparing us
mansion while we are here in the
world working for Him. The ones who
are faithful will be the ones who will
receive the greatest reward. If we
are true to God and are his followers,
He will reward us greatly. He said
for us to follow. even deny ourselves
and take up our cross and follow Him
daily. That is the reason the work of
God is going on at the place called
Blackwell.
There are a number who are trying
from the depths of their hearts to full
fill Gods command. Some few months
ago the place just spoken of was at
silence. There was no church, no
Sunday school, no prayer meeting. But
Christ touched this place with real
old-time revival and the silent heart
was awakened by a knock at their
hearts door The door was opened
and from that time until this the bells
of love have been ringing. The hearts
that were once silent are now singing
The hearts that were once like stone
are melted and are filled with love.
We are truly thankful to know that
the Lord did not forget us but instead
remembered and forgave us. We are
so thankful to know that we have been
revived with a fire from heaven.
The place that was once pronounced
as an outlaw district is not at this
time. We feel that we are free from
all condemnation and are truly work
ing for Christ.
The morning will come when we will
be awakened by the sounding of a
trumpet. Then we will upward fly and
our work will be over. We then will
lay down our cross and pick up
crown of glory and enter in our Man
sion our Lord has prepared for us.
So while He is over there working to
build us a mansion, let us who are cx-
pecting one send material up for him
to work with. He is building accord
ing to the material furnished If we
are neglectful and send no material
up for Him to work with, we fear our
mansion will be incomplete. 1t might
not have a roof on it, no doors, no
windows. no place to enter. SO let's
be sure we send enough material TO
complete our mansion.
The more righteous life we live the
more beautiful our mansion will be.
Let's get ready, for the day is coming
when we will have to say goodby to
our loved ones and we know not wheth-
er we will meet again but we have a
promise of meeting again If we will
be faithful to Jesus.
We are praying that each christian
will join us in working for Christ.
