"And Ca'lab stilled the people
before Moses, and said. Let US go
up at once and possess it; for we
are well able to overcome it. Number
F13 chapter 80 verse the text OF our
pastors inspiration sermon Sunday
morning, October 26th before a
capacity and spiritual food seeking
congregation. His subject for the
day was To-Day and his thoughts
for the day was as follows; Heaven
is either in Mans heart or else'2
is in a Mans heart, Man should
let his his light shine not tomorrow
but To-Day, for tomorrow belongs
to eternity, and active life never
dies, but an inactive life never lives
until it is connected with the life
of Jesus, Christ.
