Her first text was based on the words In .\cts 10:2!». "I ask therefore for what intent have ye sent for ne-'.'" She said if you people and pastor have sent for me to give you .^oin- new teaching of this day. you Iiav. sent in vain. If for a gospel perfumed, polished, ironed and seasoned just to suit your liking, to give you what you want and not what you need, then you have also sent in vain. But if you have sent for me to give you the old gospel ot the salvation ami the plan ot redemption. I believ-' wo can accomplish soiifthing hero. If you are willing to take what you need, and not what you wan', and take It as a child takes the needed medicine for its ailment, then the medicine can and will dc the work. But on the other hand If ynu hav-- sent for me to do all the work and fold your arms then you liavo sont in vain again. We must work together and come before Cod in much prayor for the unsaved ot Nazaretli, jiay the price in s.'lf-d<'nial and prayer and S'l-vii.- aiul 111" soil it will work in the hearts of the piii;ile
