The power 01 the love of God has been in the world for thousands of years but it has not been user as it. might &IVO been. God can do grea's things with us if we link up with this. great power. God uses us to trans- mit his wonderful power bo ethers' but in order to do this we must has close connection with God.* In the ease of Moses, Elijah and David they could do greet work as long as they kept close to God. , The purpose of the Sacrament of Ube Lord's Supper is to bring us into closer connection,. with God. We should follow the ex- ample of Christ and have our time' and place to retire for prayer and' Communion with God. "The Parable - of tlhe Rich man and Lazarus" was the pastor's text at the evening sei,- vice, the text chosen being Luke 1Q- 28 "And in bell he lifted up his eyes! being in torment and Sects Abraham afar ,ote and Lazarus in Ihis bosom"' The rich man was not deliberately - cruel to Lazarus but his sin that cans - ed him to be in torments'.
