Caronport, Saskatchewan. Nigel
played the guitar and the piano and
together with his wife - made
beautiful music.
The songs they chose were based on
scripture passages • Isaiah 6 verses
1 through 9 prompted "Surely the
presence of the Lord is in this Place"
and "Spirit of the Living God." If you
remember the story, Isaiah was
allowed to glimpse HeaVen, hear the
angels singing, feel the vibrations and
see God
Immediately he recognized himself
asa sinful man and only after his lips
were cleansed and his sins forgiven
and removed, did God acknowledge
his presence. Then only then did
Isaiah receive his instructions.

testimonies. stressed the importance
of "coming. apart and being
separate." Peter talks of the Holiness
of God that we should imitate that
Holiness to keep us completely apart
from sin and the sins of the world. The
basis of separation is cleanliness, con-
