PRECIOUS SAINTS OF GOD


+ Another day has come and the
Lord in his great wisdom and infi-
mite love has blessed our souls with
the, spiritual richness of His holy
word. Which is enjoyed by every
one of us, even those who are upon
their bed of affiliction, even if un-
able to speak, they can say in their
hearts 1 thank you Jesus. Regard
less of conditions we can still say
thank you Jesus, knowing in our
hearts it can be worse.
Our Lord has laid the foundation
and has opened up the way of up
righteousness unto us. We can in
this great day of light, turn on our
radio and hear our ministers speak
as he prevail with souls to find
Jesus-not being able to attend
church service due to illness or 9TH
er preventive causes. We can say
Il thank you, Jesus, for every word
Of spiritual encouragement that
you have given to me this day."
Then, too, we should think upon
these things very seriously, for God
is sending His word to us over land
and sea, from the rostrum in the
church, in the prisons and in the
hospitals. Therefore we can say
that there's no place to hide where
we can escape. Some are saying
now, it is vain to serve God and
what does it profit those who have
kept his ordinance? They seem to
forget that Jesus said "let us as
semble ourselves together for
spiritual strength.
Our beloved Bishop, spoke to us
in our union meeting and our
hearts did burn within while he
talked and opened to us the scrip
ture He thanked our Lord for
bringing him out of the wildness of
darkness and shame, creating in
him a new spirit, so say yes to his
will. He talked to us saying, the
man greater than Solomon is here
and has made us free indeed.
How many of Gods saints have
failed in spiritual strength, and IN
faith? Some of us have openly be-
Titled the ministry, but I say there
are thousands who haven't bowed
to bale. 1 mean to go through the
mountain regardless of cause. My
wife is my sweetheart and my
home is my palace and FULFILL my
duty as a husband and a father.
1 love my church and help to
shoulder the responsibilities of the
church. 1 live so God can use me.
WHY? cause greater than
Solomon is here in my life. Our
church, we have let to much of the
world steal into our churches.
Some of us are so modern that we
refuse to say Amen. Or Glory Hal
lelujah! in our church-clapping
Of hands has almost gone. We say
that is old time stuff, but my Bible
says make a joyful noise unto the
Lord.
Let us consider Psalms 149 di-
vision. When we are sure enough
born of God, we began to witness,
for the word is so powerful as in
Hebrew 4th chapter and the 18th
verse. 1 Peter 1923, then if we
cannot rejoice or clap our hands or
sing a song, then for truth we
cannot say like jeremiah, ''its just
like fire shut up in my bones, for
II know when the joy began to
flow, then we the saints began to
move" The holy word hasn't been
streamlined, it's the same Old-time
religion, and that's good enough for
me.
Oh saints one day somewhere we
gave up the world and met condi-
tions, we made a vow unto the Lord
and we promised to not take it
back. Now to those that have COM
pletely surrendered to God,t you
have crossed. the separated tlipe. We
