Peter" that* vv^cfo not "follow-cunningly
devised fables" in making
known to the world the power and
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our
faith is built on God's Word, and
upon such testimony as this by eyewitnesses.
Here is real ground for
assured belief in CSirist.
Great experiences of spiritual renewing
and power lead to effective
life and testimony for Christ. They
may not be in outward manifestations,
in fact they are most often in
the inner recesses of man's soul;
but they do transform men and send
them forth to magnificent living for
God. One wonders if much of the
dearth of power in the Christian
Church is not to be attributed directly
to the lack of such experiences
with God.
The disciples had an unforgettable
mountain-top experience. Even so
have many others found the secret
of power. It came to D. L. Moody
as he walked down a New York
street, ptaying in agony, "Deliver
me from myself. Take absolute
sway." The story of wh^t.Jiappened
to him and through him as a surrendered
instrument in God's hand
is written large on the pages of
history. Others have had similar
experiences.
Let us remember that such privileges
are not reserved for a few,
they are the birthright of every
Christian. Power without knowledge
is a dangerous and destructive thing,
but knowledge without power is a
dead thing, resulting in a stale and
unfruitful orthodoxy that in turn
produces a dreadful and unchristian
religious system.
The wife has long said "my house"
and ''my car." Now at last she can
even say "my pants."

from the mothers, wives, sisters, etc.,
of the men, were oocaslon for much
joy and happiness, as the fighting
men had been mourned for some time
as having died in action.
Already Mrs. Graham has received
replies to letters she sent to Columbus,
Ohio; New Riegel, Ohio; Connellsville,
Pa.; Pittsburgh, Pa.; Johnson
City, Pa.; Pool?, Kentucky; Cincinnati,
Ohio; Darlington, S. C., and
other points.
Mrs. E. J. Irving of 1372 North Fifth
street. Columbus, Ohio, In her letter
says 'Tt gives me a warm feeling in
my heart to know that strangers
think of other people's loved ones
besides their own."
Mrs. John Pringle of Connellsville,
Pa., In her letter says "You will never
know what a load of sorrow you lifted
from my heart. And God himself
used you as his messenger In answer
to our prayers. Alwayw?emember you
will always be on my pWayer list'"
Roy Russdll, cashier at the Poole
Deposit Bank at Poole, Kentucky in
his letter to Mrs. Graham said "May
God's richest blessings rest upon you
in our prayers."
These are but a few of the grateful
expressions sent to Mrs. Graham. One
lotter in particular from a Mrs. J. C.
Dashio of Pittsburgh, Pa., which
reads:
The proper area for a ration board
is one small enough' for the board
members to know who is lying.
"Dear Mrs. Qrahara: At a time

proper words to express *my feelings
of gratitude.
"I received your letter last night
j and the news it contained was like u
direct answer to my prayers know ing
[ iliat my husband is alive and well.
I is the most wonderful news 1 could

"On March lith, the War Department
informed me that my husband
i had been missing since the 17th of
February. I called upon the Red
Cross to assist me in finding htm, but
! was told 1 would have to wait six
weeks. Your kindness and thoughtfulness
brought my waiting to an
end and perhaps some day my bus
band, daughter and I will be able to
show our appreciation in some other
manner, lint for tho present, all 1
can say la thank you from the bottom
of my heart."
