Bethesda Church Prayer Band Notes
Beyond the city limits of Philippi
by the riverside there was place OF
prayer, and thither the great Apostle
Paul, Silas, Timothy and Luke, the
Beloved Physician turned their foot
steps to meet "a company of women,
and SO is it in this generation, the wo-
men are the most active, especially IN
the spiritual welfare of the churches.
Paul gave his message to these wo-
men, and the Lord, Opened the heart
of Lydia to give heed unto the things
which were spoken by Paul" and be-
ing led by the Holy Spirit as we be-
lieve, and in the self same Spirit On
7 Tuesday Morning at 10 A. NJ at Beth
lesda Church 1118 9th Street South,
Mrs. Alline Hanks, prayer band lead
er and a company of women met to
sing praises to God and exhortation
to Praise God for his greatness, and
for his goodness, words that were
spoken by David when he said 20
lcome, let us sing unto the Lord, let us
make joyful noise to the rock of our
salvation. us come before his
lpresence with thanksgiving, and make
la joyful noise unto Him with psalms.
For the Lord is a good God, and
great King above ali gods. In his
hands are the deep places of the earth,
the strength of the hills is his also.
i The sea is his, and he made it; and his
hands formed the dry land. 0 come,
let us worship and bow down, let us
kneel before the Lord, our maker, for
He is our God; and we are the people
of his pasture, and the sheep of his
hand" The Leader selected Luke,
! Chapter a, for the scripture lesson
which was discussed by the group in
very satisfactory way.
We were glad to have deacon Hunt
