 The more closely you watch the subject of its

 a wonderful work God has wrought. The more 

 you look into the lives of those who come under

This word is encouragement for the soul that 

 fears to trust in God. This word has in it the 

 very power of the Gospel. This word, if you

 every continent known to God, it is invading 

 every nation, and is coming to the recognition of 

 almost every heart.
