Here it is:

Here it is:
And he Showed me pure river
OF water of life, clear as crystal,
proceeding out of the throne Of God
and of the Lamb.
3 In the midst of the street OF 1t,
and on either side of the river, was
there a tree of life, which bare
twelve manners of fruits, and yield
ed her fruit every month: and the
leaves of the tree were for the neal
ing of the nations.
3 And there shall be no more
curse; but the throne of God and
of the Lamb shall be in it; and his
servants shall serve him:
And they shall see his face; and
his name shall be in their foreheads.
5 And there shall be no night
there; and they need no candle,
neither light of the sun; for the Lord
God giveth them light: and they
shall reign forever and ever.
6 And he said unto me, These say
ings are faithful and true: and the
Lord God of the holy prophets sent
his angel to shew unto his servants
the things which must shortly be
done.
: Behold, l come quickly: Blessed
is he that keepeth the sayings OF the
prophecy of this book.
s And | John saw these things,
and heard them. And when | had
heard and seen, | fell down to wor-
ship before the feet of the angel
which showed me these things.
9 Then sayeth he unto me, See
thou do it not: for l am thy fellow
servant. and of thy brethren the
prophets, and of them which keep
the sayings of this book: worship
God.
10 And he saith unto me, Seal not
the savings of the prophecy of this
book: for the time is at hand.
II He that is unjust, let him be
unjust still: and he which is filthy,
let him be filthy still: and he that
is righteous, let him be righteous
still: and he that is holy, let him be
holy still.
j And, behold, l come quickly
and my reward is with me, to give
every man according as his work
shall be.
10 | am Alpha and Omega, the
beginning and the end, the first and
the last.
IA Blessed are they that do his
commandments, that may have right
to the tree of life, and may enter in
through the gates into the city.
Is For without are dogs, and sor-
cerers, and whoremongers, and MUIR
derers, and idolators, and whosoever
loveth and maketh a lie.
IS Jesus have sent mine angel to
testify to you these things in the
churches. | am the root and the off
spring of David and the bright and
morning star.
II And the spirit and the bride
say, Come, And let him that hear
eth say, Come. And let him that
is athirst come. And whosoever will,
let him take the water of life freely.
IS For | testify unto every man
that heareth the words of the pro-
phecy of this book, If any man shall
add unto these things, God shall add
unto him the plaques that are writ
ten in this book.
10 And if any man shall take
away the words of the book Of this
prophecy, God shall take away his
part out of the book of life, and
out of the holy city, and from the
things, which are written in this
book.
20 He that testifeth these things
saith, Surely, | come quickly. Amen,
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
q The grace of our Lord Jesus
Christ be with you all. Amen.
It was for reading these sacred
words specifically the fifteenth verse
after he had ordered him to desist,
that Officer Walter B. Burroughs
hauled this humble siXty-siX-year-old
preacher to the station house, to a
felon's cell. 0, the pity of it! And
then he carried him before that
Christian judge and officer, learned
in the Scriptures, a church communi-
cant and worker in the Sunday
School, for trial. He hailed him be-
fore T. Gray Haddon, who is con-
scientious. He might as well have
carried him to Judge John l.. In
gram or any other jurist in this Sec
ton and the result would have been
the same.
Let us pray God that this man,
this officer, this child of the devil,
this sinner, will go down on his knees
in prayer and seek salvation from
forgiving Saviour. 1t would be we'll
for the colored congregations to pray
for him.
