Moral

Divine healing is children’s bread. To receive it, we should humble ourselves, and pray believing, without fainting, till we receive the answer.

Memory Verse

“But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”

Hebrews 11:6
