Hoffman, 1839-1929          "I must tell Jesus: is the first confession of a penitent, and then a passionate cry for help. Rev. Elisha A. Hoffman was summoned to help a friend who was in great trouble. He tried to comfort her by telling her of the unfailing love of God. He spoke of that love which brought us into being, and follow us every step of our way. He urged her to surrender to God's mercy, and told her the help she needed could only come when she was full repentant. He prayed earnestly for her, and while he was praying she suddenly screamed, "I must tell Jesus!". His pastoral visit, spiritual instructions, and earnest prayer led to her conversion, and she became a great soul winner in the Master's service.           "I must tell Jesus&

Apples of God - Proverbs 25:11          "The Holy Spirit not only indwells us but He is here to empower us daily for holy and victorious living. So often we live in poverty, spiritual poverty. Yet we are rich! We have God's blessings. We have God's power. While we wait for the Lord to return we are to occupy for Him. Time is short. What we do for our Lord we must do now".                     Perry Rockwood          While Christ represents us in Heaven, we must represent Him on earth.          "I observed, easily, in my self, that if at any time Satan did more than at other times weaken my belief of scripture and the life to come, my zeal in religious duty abated with it, and I grew more indifferent in religion than before."                              Richard Baxter "The word is tired of the platitudes

The bulletin is dated 10/20/2024.  Great Hymns Of The Faith "The Ninety And Nine" Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830-1869.  "The Ninety and Nine" is a spiritual mosaic of Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd. Elizabeth C. Clephane has woven the scripture into a poem of rare beauty. In forming the mosaic she took the scriptural descriptions of the Good Shepherd as the artisan takes the pieces of tile, putting each in its place and proper relationship, with the result of a true and perfect product.          "The Ninety and Nine" reveals depth of insight and a genius selection of material. The mosaic shows architectural beauty of design and spiritual understanding of content.          Miss Clephane wrote the hymn for children. It was published in The Children's Hour in 1868. She passed to her reward the following year.          Ira D. Sankey set the

Great Hymns Of The Faith "Some Day The Silver Cord Will Break" ("Save By Grace") Fanny Crosby, 1820-1915 "I cannot see the sunset, but some day I shall see my Saviour face to face," exclaimed Fanny Crosby. This was her reply to Dr. L. W. Munhall's glowing description of the sunset, after a service of the Poughkeepsie camp meeting. Dr. Munhall, the great Methodist layman evangelist, was my traveling companion motoring from Ocean Grove, NJ, camp meeting when he told me the experience which gave birth to this hymn. Seated on the hotel porch, he painted with colorful adjectives and skillful touch to the blind Fanny Crosby, the deepening glory of the changing sunset. He depicted the roseate hues and shafting lights with accurate phrase, hoping to have her see it, even as he saw it: but she was seeing beyond
