I have seen his ways, and will heal him. I [am] the LORD that healeth thee.--O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known [me]. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou under- standest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquaint- ed [with] all my ways.--Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret [sins] in the light of thy countenance.--All things [are] naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Come now, and let us rea- son together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crim- son, they shall be as wool.--He is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.-- He [was] wounded for our trans- gressions, [he was] bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace [was] upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.-- He hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted.--Thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.

We wish him the best and con- tinue to hold services at New Lib- erty. The message today delivered by Janet Baily was about encour- agement and the effect on those receiving it. One example was Willie Mays in his early career. Was in a hitting slump and the encouragement from his man- ager that helped him to be one of the greatest players in base- ball history. Be generous with your encour- agement as the Lord is continual- ly giving it to you. Ray Brooks, Reporter WINSLOW G.B. CHURCH 600 E.

Our church began in 1924, and has a rich history in Petersburg, and in the county. We aBible based, Christ centered family of believers who believe that in Jesus, there is life. In a world that in many ways is dismal, we believe there is hope. Not hope in politics, or even hope in America as much as we love her. Our only hope is Jesus. No matter how disconnected one may be or feel, our congregation is for all who seek God, His Will, and His Son, Jesus. Wherever you are in life, whatever your background, whatever sin has over-whelmed your life, we want you to know that you have a home, a safe harbor with this group of Christians. We are an imperfect people. We accept God's forgiveness, but we also know that in this human body, we are constantly challenged to hold on to the Peace that is in Him. We meet every Sunday morning for Bible study at 9:30 a.m., and for a time of praise and worship at 10 :30 a.m. We extend to you a warm invitation to check us out. We'd love to see you.

Then some stood up and gave this false testimony against him: "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple made with human hands and in three days will build an- other, not made with hands.'" Yet even then their testimony did not agree. Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, "Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?" But Je- sus remained silent and gave no answer. Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Bless- ed One?" "I am," said Jesus. "And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven." The high priest tore his clothes. "Why do we need any more witnesses?" he asked. "You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?" They all condemned him as worthy of death. (Mark 14:57-64). Joe Henson, Pastor Matt Haycraft, Reporter JESUS CHRIST OUR FIRM FOUNDATION 1415 N.

I Am Thine, O Lord by Fanny Crosby I am thine, O Lord; I have heard Thy voice, and it told Thy love to me, but I long to rise in the arms of faith, and be closer drawn to Thee. Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord, by the power of grace divine, let my soul look up with a steadfast hope, and my will be lost in Thine. Oh, the pure delight of a sin- gle hour that before Thy throne I spend, when I kneel in prayer and with Thee, my God, I com- mune as friend with friend! There are depths of love that I cannot know till I cross the nar- row sea; there are heights of joy that I may not reach till I rest in peace with Thee.
