Peace! That precious measure
of tranquility which is sore

has he kept the faith, he has
made it possible - through
the grace of God - for others
to be grounded and rooted in
the Gospel of JESUS Christ,
through the medium of his
immortal letters to the early
church. Lord, what thou

Ten persons were healed of
their illness and sent by Jesus
to the Priest for confirmation
OF their restoration to good

"clean bill of health" from the
priest, nine went their way.
The other one returned to
Jesus and thanked him. Jesus

I'VE love the place, o God,
Wherein thine honor dWells;
The JOY Of thine abode

For there, in faith adored
We find they presence near"
